How did you get involved in travel?

"Born in Sahara Desert of Morocco, Since I opened my eyes I found tourists around me from all over the world. Since that time I started to have ideas about traveling and about the world entirely from the tourists. I have started to pick up words and sentences from deferent languages until I can speak various languages now. From that time I started guiding travelers around Sahara desert then I have worked in several local agencies in Morocco as a guide. now, I focus on escorted guided small groups around Morocco led by a licensed private tour guide."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"In the middle of Sahara Desert since 20 years ago. I encountered a French couple stuck their vehicle in the sand while driving in the desert to reach Merzouga Erg Chebbi sand dunes. I have come to rescue them. but, their vehicle was totally stuck in the sand; no way to move it. So I decided to give them a ride by my moto bike so as they would not miss the sunset in Erg Chebbi sand dunes. On the first ride, I took the wife to the hotel. then I comeback to give a ride to the husband. It was a unique travel experience for me. Now they are my best friends and I visit them time to time in Paris. "

All of our local guides were great and knowledgeable about the different cities. The riads were not only clean and safe but truly extraordinary. All of the staff were so hospitable, the rooms were so beautiful and the breakfast was amazing. Majid truly understood what we wanted and he delivered! He even surprised me and arranged a birthday cake to be delivered to our Riad. Majid was amazing to work with and was very open with communication. Thank you Majid! The true highlight of our trip was meeting our driver Hamza. He shared his beautiful culture and knowledge with us throughout the 10 days where we felt so connected to Morocco, even the parts that we didn’t get to see. Hamza made sure that we were always comfortable when stopping somewhere or eating somewhere. He made sure that we were safe when traveling and always kept us in the loop on where we were going. His friendship and kindness is something we will always cherish and are so thankful that he was our driver!

Hamza made sure we had everything we needed and that we were safe at all times. Every Riad and accommodation chosen by Majid were absolutely beautiful. The city/ onsite guides he arranged were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.
Majid kept checking in with us throughout our trip and was always available when we had a question. Majid even planned a surprise for my daughter’s 23rd birthday, by arranging for a birthday cake at our Riad in Marrakesh. There was not a single snag or any issues with anything during our trip. Working with local people was a wonderful experience, and it felt good supporting local businesses and people rather than big corporations. Morocco is a beautiful country with an amazing culture and amazing kind people. We can’t wait to go back and highly recommend Majid and Hamza! 🇲🇦❤️

PRE-TRIP
Majid worked with us to set up a custom itinerary and was knowledgeable, prompt, and available for all questions and concerns before and during our trip. We opted for a trip with luxury stays in highly rated hotels and riads. One of the most helpful pieces of information he provided was regarding acceptable tips for guides, drivers, etc.. Our group referenced his recommendations throughout the trip.

FOOD
Breakfast was included in the price, and Majid made dinner reservations for us whenever we requested it. Red took us to all of our lunch spots. We paid for both lunch and dinner. A note for vegetarians and vegans: While there are veg options for Moroccan food (salads, bread, veg tagine and couscous), it can get pretty repetitive after a while. So just be prepared to break your Moroccan meals up with other cuisines if you have access to them!

TRAVEL
Over the course of 9 days, we went to Chefchaouen, Fes, Merzouga desert, the Atlas mountains, and Marrakesh. As a group of 12 with 4 kids, it was so helpful to have a guide as energetic and positive as Red accompanying us throughout our travels. We were on the road a lot, and were in very good hands with Ishaam, who expertly and safely navigated through different types of terrain.

Because of our packed itinerary and time on the road, we didn't have too much time to shop. I would have loved to have had a bit more time to get more souvenirs and gifts.

OVERALL
Everyone we met was so warm and welcoming, and it was extremely helpful to have Red with us to navigate the language and culture. The guides we met along the way in Chefchaouen, Fes, and Morocco were very knowledgeable as well.

The best parts: I loved being in Fes and learning more about the intellectual and cultural capital of Morocco. Having 2 days in the desert right in the middle of the trip was a great call as well. After hours on the road and in bustling cities and towns, the calm and quiet of the desert was exactly what we needed to feel rejuvenated.

Highly recommend using KimKim and working with this team. A big thank you to Red, Ishaam, and Majid, for such a wonderful trip!

Eden Boutique Hotel
Boumalne-Dadès

This was a top notch hotel. Really one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. They do everything at an absolutely exceptional level. The grounds are immaculate. The pictures don't do it justice. The meals are Michelin star level and the service in the restaurant is amazing. For example they serve you a many course breakfast but bring everything out so efficiently that you're able to have an amazing breakfast but get in and out of there very quickly. The pool is very nice but isn't heated yet. They're working on adding a heated pool which if they had this I don't think I'd ever want to leave.

Authenticity & Character
The gardens were absolute perfection and the room had so much character while still being very functional.

It has an unbeatable view of the Monkey fingers. the view is breathtaking!

They need to have higher standards for the aesthetics of the hotel. They should visit the eden boutique hotel for a comparison.
La Maison Arabe Hotel
Marrakech

Very nice hotel, great food and room experience. We did try to use the pool in the afternoon and it was a bit weird with nowhere to set your clothes/towels and it felt awkward to use it since it's in the middle of the restaurant. It's almost like it's more for aesthetics than it is for use.

They were all very nice and attentive. The hotel is very large so many things can take longer. Check in and restaurant service because the place is so large.

This was probably the highlight of the trip. We had 2 options for where to visit and we chose the more challenging ride from the Eden hotel. The ride was beautiful and very challenging as well. Mid ride we got to do some canyoning which was not for the feint of heart but was perfect for our family. The visits with the cave nomads were both amazing and something I'll never forget seeing how other people live. The guides were really amazing and it couldn't have been better.

We had a wonderful week in Morocco planned by the Kimkim team. Our driver, Ziad, was a delight and made all our transitions seamless. Excellent guides were chosen for all our city tours; very helpful in learning how to navigate the cities. The hotel choices were also excellent: La Maison Arabe in Marrakech has climbed to the top of our list of favorite hotels. We thought the pricing was very reasonable given all that was included. We would definitely use Kimkim again!

Our guide Mouad was professional, kind, fun and knowledgeable. We visited during Ramadan which made his efforts and positive energy even more appreciated. He was familiar with each of the locations we visited (and most of the staff at those locations) so we felt comfortable and connected. Best of all, he was flexible with our agenda and accommodating to our needs and preferences (ie, let's skip lunch today, or can we stop at this new location, etc). On one of our day trips, Mouad suggested we pair with another family he thought we would like---which we did---and then organized for us to have dinner with them on our last night several days and cities later!

Our accommodations were great---comfortable, small, personal, and well-appointed. Hands down our favorite was Dar Rihanna in the Dades Valley, a family-run boutique hotel. One of the brothers is the chef and our meals there were absolutely fantastic.

Majid (our KimKim specialist) was so helpful when a family situation caused us to change our trip significantly just a few days before we left, and was on call when I left my phone in Mouad's car one night.

The drives in Morocco are very long, so I would recommend spreading out the trip with activities each day (for example, we had a day of hiking and extended our time in the desert). Otherwise each day could be driving with small stops on the way, which can be tiring.
