Imane Ouriche

I'm Imane, a travel specialist from Agadir, Morocco. Growing up here has given me a deep understanding of the local customs and traditions. I love sharing authentic and unique experiences with travelers, allowing them to truly immerse themselves in Morocco's vibrant culture and warm hospitality.

I pay close attention to detail when creating itineraries, considering the different needs of each traveler. I take care of everything, from transportation and accommodation to organizing cultural activities and food adventures. I want to make sure every traveler has a comfortable, enriching, and hassle-free journey.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Our key specialties lie in exploring the magnificent Atlas Mountains, offering visits to historical sites that showcase Morocco's rich cultural heritage; from the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis to the medieval medinas of Fes and Marrakech. A highlight of our tours is the enchanting Sahara desert experience. We organize camel rides and 4WD tours that allow travelers to traverse the mesmerizing sand dunes, witness breathtaking sunsets, and spend magical nights under the starry desert sky. And of course Morocco's coastal cities, such as Casablanca, Essaouira, and Tangier, which offer a unique blend of old-world charm and modern vibes."

How did you get involved in travel?

"I started my tourism journey by chance when I met a group of international students visiting Morocco during a cultural exchange program. As an English studies student, I happily shared my knowledge of Moroccan history, traditions, and famous places with them. Guiding them through the bustling markets, captivating old cities, and breathtaking landscapes of Morocco was an amazing experience. Seeing their excitement and fascination made me realize that my true passion is to promote the beauty and richness of Morocco to people from around the world.

To gain practical experience, I interned at local travel agencies where I learned how to create special travel plans and provide excellent service to tourists."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"I had an amazing travel experience that had a big impact on me. It all started when I got the chance to join a group of excited travelers on a tour across the country. It was my first time working in the tourism industry in Morocco.

What made this journey really special was having a female driver. This was uncommon in Morocco's mostly male-dominated industry. It surprised and inspired both the travelers and me, as it challenged gender stereotypes and showed how things are changing in the country.

As we traveled together, we shared stories, explored hidden places, and experienced Moroccan traditions. We were amazed at how we could connect with strangers so quickly, even though we came from different backgrounds. We all shared a love for adventure and exploring, reminding me of how meaningful human connections can be, even with people we don't know.

When the journey came to an end and we said goodbye, there was a mix of happiness and sadness in the air. This unique adventure reinforced my belief in the transformative power of travel and the importance of breaking stereotypes. It reminded me of the joy and fulfillment that comes from connecting with people from different walks of life. The journey motivated me to move forward with new inspiration, a deeper sense of purpose, and a strong commitment to creating extraordinary travel experiences that bring people together and leave lasting memories."

The trip to Marrakesh was amazing. The walking tour guide Mohamed was brilliant.
Our driver Soufiyan who took us around is a good driver.
Our hike in the Atlas mountain with Latifa was very enjoyable.
She helped me a lot over the rough patches and climbs and really took good care of us.

Hotel stays at Marrakech and Essaouira was perfect.
The desert camp was good but felt a bit rough around the edges as I believe it was a newer property.

Our trip to Morocco was fantastic thanks to Kim Kim! We had 3 kids ages 3-11 and were nervous about traveling with them but the whole experience was smooth, comfortable, exciting and fun! We loved Fez, Marrakesh and especially Essouria. Our driver Mustafa was so skilled, gracious and thoughtful. He did things like making sure that all of our rest stops during long drives playgrounds! The fantastic local guides were knowledgeable, flexible and made sure we spent our money in places that would be high quality and truly support the local people - for example we visited worker cooperatives to learn about everything from ceramics to aragan oil. They are so kind to children generally as a society in Morocco. It was beautiful to experience and made the trip that much easier and more welcoming. Kim Kim and the guides were also good about making some adjustments to the trip as we went along and adjusted to the reality of travel. For example we had over planned and not factored in a day of two for kids to just hang out and play at the pool!

This was a fun way to learn about ceramics.

Great unique opportunity to see experienced artisans and work and understand how it all comes together.

We booked a 8-day 7-night tour with Kimkim. First, Imane was a fantastic travel consultant to help us plan the itinerary. We reached out relatively late in November for a December trip. Especially as Morocco was hosting the African Cup of Nations and accommodations were booked out. She helped us with an itinerary while taking into account some of our requests around dietary restrictions and making sure our elderly parents would be comfortable. Once booked, our local point of contact in Morocco was Said, who did a fabulous job in figuring out the right hotels, accommodating last minute requests and ensuring we were supported right through the tour. He also made sure we had the best driver/guide combination in Ikhlaf and Noureddine. The two of them made sure we stopped at the right restaurants with good vegetarian food, showed us local spots and ensured we had the best local and cultural experience. We had some pretty late breaking requests for tours (like star gazing, ATV rides, etc) and they helped us out with those. I cannot praise this duo enough and would highly recommend these guys if you are planing a trip to Morocco. The trip was fabulous and a big reason was the Kimkim crew. We had some long driving days through spectacular scenery (High Atlas Mountains with snow, The Sahara desert at Merzouga, gorges, etc) and these guys made sure we were comfortable. Overall, a wonderful experience.

We just returned from an unforgettable 8-day private tour in Morocco, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Traveling as a family of six, including teenagers and grandparents, we were a bit nervous about how everything would go, but it was absolutely great.
Planning with Said:
Before the trip even began, Imane was great to work with. After the plan was set, we were transferred to Said. I had a lot of questions during the planning process, and Said and Imane were always patient, responsive, and helpful. Said resolved every concern quickly, which gave me a lot of confidence.
Our Driver – Abdelghani:
Abdelghani was a great driver—extremely careful, professional, and thoughtful throughout the entire trip. We always felt safe on the road, which is so important, especially when we drove through challenging roads in sometimes snowy weather (I was super nervous and had probably reached out to Said about the snowy weather at least 3 times :). He was punctual, patient, and made sure we were comfortable at all times. Always a great person to interact with.
Our Guide – Omar:
Omar was a great this trip! Young, energetic, and he made every moment engaging and fun. He connected with our teens, keeping them interested and involved. At the same time, he was incredibly helpful to our grandparents. One moment that really stood out was during a hike that turned out to be more challenging than expected—Omar went above and beyond, helping the grandparents to ensure they are safe. That level of care and dedication is truly appreciated by us. He was new to this route, but was trying hard to make the trip educational for us.
Local Guides - in different cities (Fez, Dades, Marrakech):
We had local guides in different cities and they have various level of knowledge and some spent more time sending us to shopping. We are okay with them because they were all new experiences and we got to learn how things work, but it may not be for everyone.
Overall Experience:
The itinerary was well-planned, and every detail was taken care of. We wholeheartedly recommend Omar and Abdelghani. They made our trip a memorable adventure. Thank you!

Organizing a 16-day private tour with a dedicated driver through Morocco is no small feat, and we truly appreciate the efforts of Original Travels and the kimkim travel agency for making our journey memorable. The trip was well planned by Imane who provided excellent suggestions was in constant contact with out driver and was able to modify when changes needed to be made. We were able to see a large part of the country and had quality time in the sites we were interested in seeing.
Our driver, Soufian went above and beyond to make the trip convenient and to ensure our needs were met. He is a skilled driver and managed to calmly negotiate the chaos of busy cities, keeping a lookout for pedestrians, autos, busses, motorcycles and occasionally donkeys and carts. Furthermore, he spoke English well, shared information about the country and the Moroccan way of life. He has a great sense of humor but was never overbearing. He made sure we were comfortable, providing water and asking if we needed breaks throughout the trip. He made us feel confident about negotiating our travels and provided safety tips as well as an App to reach him. He was always prompt and provided the time we needed to tour areas of interest. As an older couple we never felt rushed. Further, Soufian ensured staff from the Rihad’s were available to guide us and assist with luggage through the narrow, cobbled Medinas. We were happy with our tour guides and enjoyed every single day of our trip.
While the detailed itinerary listed stops at Andalusian Gardens and the Musee des Oudias, we didn’t receive specific directions or information about these locations, and they were ultimately not included in our visits. Nevertheless, the trip was packed with unforgettable moments that far exceeded our expectations.
On October 26, 2025, in Marrakesh, Le Jardin Secret Garden was substituted for the Majorelle Gardens due to ticket availability issues. Although the trip was booked and paid for on September 2, 2025, it would have been helpful to be informed of any changes—such as this substitution—upon our arrival in Morocco, rather than at the time of the event. Similarly, the Moroccan storytelling scheduled at Café Clock was planned for a time when the activity was not available, which was a minor disappointment.
During the journey from Essaouira to Casablanca on October 29, stops at Safi, The Potter’s Capital, and El Jadida, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, were listed on the itinerary but were omitted without explanation. We believe that discussing any itinerary changes upon arrival would enhance the travel experience and avoid confusion later in the trip.
Despite these small hiccups, our overall experience was fantastic. The team went above and beyond to keep the car clean and provide bottled water daily, and their responsiveness to unexpected changes, such as rebooking our initial nights at Pestana Casablanca due to a soccer tournament, was impressive. We understand the complexities involved in organizing such an extensive tour and appreciate the attention to detail throughout our adventure.
Our sincere thanks to kimkim Travel Agency, Original Travels and especially to Soufian for providing a wonderful trip that we enjoyed immensely.

Working with KimKim was easy to figure out and book. The trip was a whirlwind of activities that kept us engaged in various historic sites, cultural specialities and unique aspects of Morocco. Overall the hotel in Boulemane Dades and Desert were the best hotels, and the others were satisficatory for my stay. I would have appreciated more personalization on the tour based on our requests and interests. On some occasions I felt that we were taken to places that we thought we would like versus what we found of interest or value. I believe this may be related to "finding places to stop" to break up the long drive for a "lofty itinerary". At times, I felt pressured to buy items from vendors at various locations even though our driver said we did not have to- Moroccans are very good salespersons. I would have loved to spend more time hiking in the Dades region. Our guide in Fez, was fantastic. Our driver was prompt and kept us safe. Efficiency in our trip was very important to me as we were trying to pack a lot in one week. Our driver even helped me arrange a last minute hamman experience which I highly recommend!

Overall the trip was great, and these specificities and personalization each day would have allowed for me to savor what we like on a trip. -Corina

Beautiful and great service. Would have been good to know what to expect for meals prior to arriving, pricing and that the food was excellent, as we stopped somewhere before because we were hungry. Would have preferred to wait for this food. Staff and rooms were beautiful. Location is a bit far especially since we did not spend much time there in the morning or evening. Would have been nice to stay or arrive earlier.

We did it, need to be on a steep enough grade for this to work. Start on butt first if you are scared and lean back, and be barefoot. Hard to turn like a snowboard, straight down. You can do 3-4 runs if you are willing to walk up the hill. Nice little workout. This will be a 20-30 minute activity.

Loved seeing the nomad populations, however our guide lacked knowledge and did not make much effort to educate us. The lunch was good at Cafe Zaid,- the egglpant dish in the clay was amazing,- berber pizza was not my favorite kind of pizza, yet interesting. Enjoyed the music and tea. Seemed like these places are set up for workers to come there and show us how these populations lived, but they do not reside their now. So some explanation of this would be helpful.

Lots of driving be prepared. Carpet Cooperative is nice, however was difficult to avoid a large purchase. Again research if this is something you want or not. Farm walk to the cooperative was quite lovely. Would really appreciate seeing the women who make these carpets versus the men who are the sales team. Could have skipped two stops: the Hollywood of the Atlas Mountains, and the store where they dress you up in scarves to look like a local. This would have given us more time in Boulemane Dades.
