Majid Mrabti

We had an incredible trip through Morocco. Our guide, Mouad, made sure we were always having fun, adjusting to our independent plans to ensure we had the best experience. As a group of three girls, we always felt safe and comfortable. Mouad constantly shared facts, jokes, anecdotes, and anything else that could enhance our trip. Everything was well-organized, and the entire journey ran smoothly. We could stop along the drive for photos, snacks, or anything else we needed, and Mouad was always there to help.

On our way to the desert, we were delayed by flash floods that blocked our route to the camp, but it didn’t feel like a big deal at all. We avoided the flooded areas and had a meal with his family since we couldn’t travel further. It was so lovely and heartwarming to experience that kind of Moroccan hospitality. What could have been a stressful travel hiccup turned into a delightful alternative plan, still aligned with what we wanted from the trip.

I loved our time in Marrakech, the desert (my favorite), and Fez. I felt like we truly learned about the rich history of each region while enjoying delicious food and having a lot of fun. I highly recommend heading to the desert (we traveled via Skoura and then to Merzouga), and riding camels to watch the sunset over the dunes. You’ll also witness an incredible starry sky and a stunning sunrise. Other highlights included our cooking class, food tours, ATVing, seeing the oldest university in the world (!!), the leather tanneries, and so much more.

A big thank you to Mouad, our guide and driver, for putting up with our shenanigans over ten days and becoming a friend! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who will listen (I already have been, and I haven’t even been home for a week!). Majid also made our trip so easy to plan and alter as went along.

We had an absolutely amazing trip to Morocco. Thanks for arranging a fantastic itinerary Majid. Our driver, Moha was one of the BEST driver and guide we have had through many trips my husband I have taken over the world. H not only was he friendly, informative, and safe driver, he made us feel at home and gave us a lot of insight to Moroccan culture.
We had very prompt and great guides in all the places we visited with our favorite in Fez and Volubulis.
The stay in the beautiful resort town of Bin el Ouidane was very memorable and highly recommended. The resort was beautiful with charming suite/ views and people. Our dinner meal prepared vegetarian had the best Tagine in Morocco and other dishes were also very good.
Riad Larroussa in FEZ with green room was stunning. The staff there was absolutely fantastic and very gracious. We even enjoyed the Hamam and massages there.
Same for Riad Lina at Chefchaouen- the women staff there were so nice and attentive- they also accommodated and made great vegetarian meal. we had a great time there.
The Villa Mandarine in Rabat was a charming quiet resort away from the Medina with lovely art work and beautifully decorated rooms.
Casablanca Sofitel staff was also very friendly and gracious and we had a wonderful view of the mosque and city from our room on the 15 th floor.
Majid and Moha thank you again for making our Morocco trip one of the most memorable, fun and relaxing trip ever.
We will highly recommend and hopefully ( Insha Allah) get to work with you and Moha again in our future trip to Morocco.

Majid was an excellent travel agent who listened to all our requests and made them all happen, in addition to a surprise anniversary party with special monogrammed cakes and delicious wine . He went above and beyond to make sure our trip was wonderful. When we wrote to him he answered in record time, even though it was in the middle of the night sometimes. Our accommodations were excellent and the tour fabulous. We were very lucky to have this knowledgeable, warm friendly man as our travel agent.

The view from our bedroom overlooking the mountains was magnificent. The food the cook made for our dinners was some of the best food we ate in Morocco. We throughly enjoyed our stay there!

Family Hike to Akchour Waterfall Lunch by the river

Chefchaouen

We didn’t go on the hike to the waterfall.. instead they said we were going to a bridge. The path was very difficult going across slippery rocks and slipping into the stream. My husband turned around but instead of having him stay at a place near the water, the guide ushered him all the way back to a restaurant where they failed to give him lunch. 3 of us chose to wait by a restaurant for the 4 who went all the way. I was stressed because I knew my husband had gone back and was alone. The communication on this outing was not good and it was very stressful.

Trip was great and planning the trip was made simple using kimkim and Majid. Our driver we had all week, Ismael was very informative and good and helpful with everything. Best part was Sahara desert stay. Fes was great too and the hotel at ait Zineb was beautiful. Marrakech was just ok. Wish I had spent less time there and more time in Alps.

Palais Sebban

Marrakech

The location was great and the outside pool/dining area nice. It was cool to see all the old architecture. But it seemed old and bathroom was just ok. Seemed more like a 3-4 star not 5 star by USA standards. You will have to stroll your luggage thru the city to get there- about a 5 min walk as no cars allowed.

Mövenpick Hotel Casablanca

Casablanca

The Mövenpick Hotel in Casablanca was super nice. The rooms were really big and more like what we're used to in American hotels. It might have been a bit more than we needed for just one night, but it was a very comfortable stay.

Dar Lys - Luxury Riad & Spa

Fes

Our stay at Dar Lys was incredible. From the moment we walked in, greeted by the scent of orange blossoms and the sight of parrots, we felt welcome. The room setup was perfect, and the service was outstanding. Breakfast was delightful, and the massages my daughter and I had were among the best we've ever experienced. The downtime they scheduled for us was much appreciated, allowing us to recover from our travels. This riad set a high standard for the rest of our trip.

The dinner at the Moroccan home was okay. The family was hospitable, and the food was fine, but the experience felt a bit awkward. It was interesting but not something I would want to repeat multiple times.

Fez to Merzouga Desert - The Road to Serenity

Morocco

The journey from Fez to the Sahara Desert was long but surprisingly pleasant. Our driver was excellent, making regular stops for us to stretch and use clean bathrooms. We had a great time at the stops, especially at the Alps-like area and where we saw monkeys. One of the lunch stops was not the best, as it seemed overrun with tour buses and wasn't very clean, but it was probably the best option available in that remote area.

FEZ Magic: A Family's Adventure in Ancient Wonders

Fes

The tour guide in Fez was exceptional. He took us on a fascinating journey through the ancient city, and we even had a tea experience that was quite delightful. Although the lunch part of the tour was a bit confusing, as we weren't sure if it was included or not, we decided not to have lunch since we were still full from the huge breakfasts we had. Overall, the experience was insightful and enjoyable.

I always wanted to go to the Sahara desert in Morocco. My big birthday was coming up and so we decided to use the school half term to go on our trip and celebrate my birthday. We didn’t know where to start and a friend recommended we try KimKim.

I contacted KimKim and was allocated Majid as our main contact and a person who would help us plan our trip to Morocco. Majid was absolutely amazing. Within 24 hours he sent us a proposed itinerary which was very close to what we were looking for. We took a week or two to finalise the dates and make one or two tweaks to tailor the itinerary to our kids’ (ages 14, 12 and 7) energy levels. Majid was very helpful, willing to change the dates for us, make further suggestions and when the hotel he initially suggested wasn’t available, he found an even better one. He was always available to help, answer our questions, give us tips prior to departure and continued to be available to us throughout the trip, if we had any questions.

Once we arrived in Morocco, we were greeted by Mouad who came to pick us up from he airport and he was all smiles from day one. He took us to the hotel and was our main driver and guide through the trip. He was super knowledgeable, had a can do attitude, was always polite and friendly with the kids. He always checked in on how we were doing and worked with our energy levels. He made sure that our trip was special from the start to the end. He took us to Sahara desert where he was from and helped us to organise extra activities like 4 wheel drive, quad biking, sand boarding and a visit to Nomad tribe. My husband gave him an impossible task to find a gluten free birthday cake in the middle of Sahara desert and he did it! I had a magical birthday celebration at the Sahara camp and I could not have asked for anything more.

Morocco was absolutely amazing, the kids didn’t know what to expect but for everyone this ended up being one of the top vacations we have ever been on. There are still many places left to explore so helpfully one day we will be back. I would definitely recommend KimKim and especially Majid and Mouad to anyone that is considering going to Morocco. You will be in great hands.

Thank you from all of us for an unforgettable birthday trip to Morocco!

Majid provided detailed planning focusing on our group's interests, and he is excellent at pre-trip communication. The lodgings he chose for us were spectacular, one-of-a-kind experiences. He provided us with an expert driver, Mustafa, and van dedicated to our group for the entire trip. The guides he chose for us were friendly and knowledgeable: Moushine who accompanied us for the entire trip; Hakim in Fes; Madi in Meknes; Hamid in Marrakesh; and Youness in Essouaria. I learned so much about Morocco. I highly recommend Majid and his team for travel to Morocco.

Overall a great experience. Trip was very thoughtfully planned out, and Majid was very accommodating and available. Special mention to our wonderful driver Moha, who went above and beyond in every sense. He was always punctual and well informed on the day’s activities. He made suggestions on revisions or alternatives (all of which were highly valuable) that him and Majid worked out with little involvement from us, and he was kind enough to welcome us into his home.
Would highly recommend for a once in a lifetime trip!
