Hamza EL Asely

My name is Hamza, your personal travel expert and my passion is to create your dream holiday in Morocco.

To say it simply, I am passionate about travel. I have always been a very curious person and being surrounded by family members who work in the travel industry for many years, allowed me the opportunity to become a travel designer.

I believe that travel is far more than an opportunity to relax and recharge. It is the opportunity to experience cultures, beliefs, customs, and ideas that are different from our own. It provides an opportunity for understanding, learning, adventure and inspiration.

From the moment you leave the house to your safe return. I want your holiday, your honeymoon or adventure hike, to be as special as it can be.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"- Atlas Mountains
- Sahara Desert
- Imperial Cities
- Northern Morocco

I specialise in: Outdoor hiking, Cultural Tours, Community Projects, Outdoor Adventures, Local life, Custom-Made trips."

How did you get involved in travel?

"My passion for travel started a few years ago when l and went on road-trips with my brother Abdel, who is an experienced Tour guide and a Kimkim specialist.

I have accompanied Abdel on many treks and tours throughout the country which helped me gain an extensive knowledge of my country, its history and also its hidden gems which i am glad to share with my guests so they can enjoy a trip of lifetime in my beloved home country.

When I am not researching a trip for a guest, i am happily exploring a new places and experiences for myself and my friends – So many more places to visit and things to do!"

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"My favourite destination in Morocco is the Sahara desert, where the beauty of the people and landscapes is unsurpassed.

The colours change according to the sun position, so you never get tired to look around the cliffs, the sand dunes, caves, a rare tent in afar, some camels and endless sand dunes. A magnificent wilderness which made my heart fell in love with the place forever. "

The trip was very well managed.

Special thanks and appreciation for our driver/guide Samir. He went above and beyond expectations with his availability and friendly attitude.

The hotels selected. Were pretty good.
We did not specifically request hotels with elevator access, so that was a bit of a bother in one of the locations . So perhaps KimKim could add that to list of questions to ask before booking.

Overall an excellent trip. We would recommend this to others and likely choose KimKim for our future travels to other locations based on our first experience.

On top of that, our driver, Soufiane, was a gem. His gentle and calm demeanor, and his many connections in various places (hotels, restaurants, parking lots, local sellers, etc), as well as local knowledge while driving through the country, was invaluable. We would have never had that insight into the country and people, and the whole trip was very easy because of his support and knowledge of the culture.

Morocco

My husband and I were on a 10 day round trip through Morocco. It was an incredible experience. From the very start, when we were planning our trip, communicating with Original Travels and deciding on the hotels and activities, everything was handled very professionally. Once we were in the country, everything was very smooth and professional. All our activities, city guides, and visits were ready when we arrived. Each hotel was a local highlight and very well chosen by them. The service and comfort the hotels provided were exceptional. On top of that, our driver, Soufiane, was a gem. His gentle and calm demeanor, and his many connections in various places (hotels, restaurants, parking lots, local sellers, etc), as well as local knowledge while driving through the country, was invaluable. We would have never had that insight into the country and people, and the whole trip was very easy because of his support and knowledge of the culture. He was also very flexible and stopped anytime we wanted to or saw something that was not in our official itinerary. It was like individual travel while having a local expert. We highly recommend KimKim and Original Travels for your personalized, individual trip to Morocco!

A definite highlight of our trip was getting acquainted with our Driver, Soufiane. Not only was he an very safe driver but also helped us learn about the cities and countryside we visited. He was dependable, prompt, exceptionally polite and friendly. We appreciated that he could easily converse with us in English. It was such an honor to get to meet Soufiane's family and enjoy a delicious Moroccan meal that his mother prepared.

We didn't want to leave Morocco!!

We stayed at Movenpick Hotel 2 nights upon arriving and leaving for the airport. The first visit, we had no hot water. The breakfast was very good. It seems a bit far from the airport and we might have benefitted from lodging closer to our flights.
