Mohamed El Asely

I was born and raised in a small village in the Atlas mountains, one of the places where we welcome our travellers.
Making trips was my way. Travel is for me the best way to open up to the world, to others. I am delighted to share this incomparable wealth of my dear country Morocco: between the national parks and the smile of children, the beautiful beaches and the typical dishes, not to mention the folk excursions, all travellers come back with nostalgia for Morocco, the kingdom of wonders.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Imperial cities, Atlas Mountains, Sahara desert and Coastal regions.
Outdoor hiking, cultural tours, community projects, Outdoor adventures, Family Vacations, Local life, custom-made trips."

How did you get involved in travel?

"I have always loved traveling since I was little. Over time I have traveled through several regions of Morocco and I fell in love with them. Unequaled biodiversity, a smiling and welcoming population and the varied landscapes of our kingdom inspired me to project myself into the field of tourism. Today I wish to make discover to all, the splendour of Morocco."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"The most memorable trip I have ever had was when I was 20 climbing one of Morocco's highest peaks (M'goun summit 4072m), there i have observed the majesty and fascinating beauty of the Atlas Mountains range, as well as the legendary hospitality of the local populations. I have also witnessed how tourism participates in developing the mountain regions in my area, It was then when I had a great interest in working in tourism, with passion and love! "

Mohamed was patient as I was full of questions regarding Ramadan and the changes during that time. He had excellent recommendations, put my mind at ease about safety and transportation. I had an idea of many sites I wanted to see and he incorporated it in his recommended itinerary with ease. Great hotels and tours, I will definitely use Kim Kim again. If ever in Morocco, Mohamed will be the first person I contact.

The camel ride at sunset, the black sky with its many stars with the added bonus of a full moon, awesome. The total staff at this camp were helpful, friendly and did everything to ensure our two night stay in a luxury tent was memorable. Moustaffa working with Fatima provided excellent food and service...Marrakesh initially strikes you as a somewhat loud, jumble of people's, cars, motor scooters etc., but thoroughly enjoyed the comforts of the Ryad and especially had fun at La Maison Arabe, with Wafa and Fatiha...top notch marketing. The food tour through the Medina , tasting different local dishes opened up the opportunity for tourists to have the real taste of Morocco...some of our Ryads had many stairs to manoueuve as did the luncheon areas selected by the local guides...to rest up before heading home, Essaouira was perfect...loved the crashing of the waves and the wind whipping through the buildings...small, easy to get around and very laid back....

Morocco exceeded all our expectations, thanks to the impeccable planning by Original Travels. Our 10-day adventure took us through the enchanting cities of Chefchaouen, Fes, Ait Benhaddou, Merzouga, and Marrakech, each stop offering its own unique charm and beauty.

Our journey was made even more memorable by our exceptional driver, Tariq. From the moment he greeted us at Casablanca airport, his warmth and humor set the tone for an unforgettable trip. Tariq's safe and comfortable driving, coupled with his infectious love for Bollywood, especially Shah Rukh Khan, added an extra layer of joy to our travels. He went above and beyond to accommodate our requests, making every moment on the road a delight.

In Fes, we were guided by Sharif, whose deep knowledge of the city's history and culture provided invaluable insights. His passion for the town shone through, enriching our experience and leaving us with a deeper appreciation for Fes's treasures.

Said, our guide in Marrakech, was equally impressive. His expertise and enthusiasm brought the city's vibrant streets and bustling markets to life. From the iconic Bahia Palace to the majestic Koutoubia Mosque, Said ensured we didn't miss a single highlight.

The riads and desert camp we stayed in were a perfect blend of luxury and authenticity, providing a comfortable retreat after days filled with exploration. Camping in the Sahara under the starlit sky was a truly magical experience, leaving us in awe of Morocco's natural beauty.

Overall, our trip was nothing short of epic. Every day was filled with unforgettable moments, thanks to the seamless planning by Original Travels, the expertise of our guides, and the exceptional service of Tariq. Morocco has left an indelible mark on us, and we're already dreaming of our next adventure in this captivating country.

Overall I am rating our Moroccan trip 4 Stars, and I’ll get to why a little later. We do have two five star reviews, one for our driver, guide, teacher and new found friend, Oussama ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ who made sure we had a proper introduction to the Moroccan people and their culture. The information he provided was essential to our enjoyment of the trip - he is terrific! If you are planning a trip to Morocco through KimKim and are going to need a car and driver, ask for Oussama specifically, you will be glad you did. Our other five star review is for our local guide in Fes who took us through both old and new cities Sharif ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ He knows the Fes Medina like the back of his hand and is extremely knowledgeable about Fes and its history as well as all of Morocco’s history. We had a fascinating day with him, enjoying and learning from his stories. These two gentlemen reflect well upon their country and KinKim.
As for the overall 4 star rating, something unexpected, and unnecessarily so, happened upon our arrival in Tangier. Fortunately for us, our driver Oussama was able to handle the immediate situation with aplomb, but the larger situation, which needed addressing by senior KimKim personnel took 4 days to acceptably resolve. The resolution was appropriate but should not have taken longer than 24 hrs to resolve.
Our Tour was Tangier, then Chefchaouen, then Fes. It was a decent introduction to the beauty of Morocco, but we do wish we had more time and could have seen the dessert, Casablanca, Marrakesh, and Rabat also. Well, there’s always next time. And next time we will ensure we have Oussama ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ back as our driver.

Having a reliable and friendly driver can truly enhance the journey, and we're glad Samir contributed to that. We're also pleased that the tour guide in Marrakesh added value to your exploration of the city.

We're sorry to hear that the guide in Essaouira and the guides at Ait Ben Haddou and the movie studio fell short of expectations. We appreciate your honesty, and we will be sure to address these concerns with our local partners to ensure a more enriching experience for future travelers.

On a brighter note, it's heartening to learn that the hotels met your expectations, and we're overjoyed that Fes and the Sahara experience left lasting impressions. Your kind words about Hamid, your guide at the tent in the Sahara, will surely be passed on to him. We're delighted that he added to the enjoyment of your visit.

We enjoyed our time with our "guide" Mohamed and our driver Kalifa. Mohamed was very personable, kind, helpful, and had fairly good English speaking skills. The one area he could improve on would be to increase his knowledge of the history and geography of the places we visited, and to share that with us as we traveled in the van. Kalifa was an excellent driver, and we always felt very safe.

The local guides, Mohamed in Fez, Hanan in Marakesh, and Hassan in Essaouira were all excellent and very informative. We also enjoyed our home visit in Fez. Our hostess had excellent English and social skills, her family was very welcoming, and evening was lots of fun. Our time at the Desert Camp was the highlight of the trip. Everyone there was so welcoming and helpful.

Overall we had a wonderful trip. At times it felt that we spent a lot time riding in the van, though I'm not sure I would want to leave anything out. Perhaps another day in Chefchouen would have been good too.

We didn't see much of Rabat as we went to the Hassan II Mosque in Marrakesh that morning, as many of us arrived late the day before in Casablanca. We also got to Chefchoen a bit late in the evening as a result. Perhaps another day in Casablanca to ease into the trip after arrival would have been good, when we'd have the whole day to visit the Mosque, the Old Medina, and just relax to get over the jetlag.

A few rain showers that day, so didn't get a chance to see much of Moulay Ibris.

A short guided tour at Volubilis would have been helpful.

The guides need a bit more practice and instruction on taking pictures. They took a lot of pictures, but most of them were not usable (cutoff on the ends, into the sun so faces couldn't be seen, etc. Thankfully they did take a few really good shots!
