Nihad Hammi

I am Nihad, your travel specialist here in Morocco. As a Moroccan born and raised in Tinghir, I bring a unique perspective to my role as a travel specialist. My deep connection to the rich cultural tapestry of Morocco, especially Tinghir, allows me to weave authentic and immersive experiences into your travel plans.

My goal is to create immersive adventures full of cultural richness and unique moments just for you. I enjoy crafting detailed itinerary that ensure your travels aren't just trips, but transformative experiences and unforgettable journeys.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

Whether you're a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or a food connoisseur, we will customize your trip to meet your interests. Our trips include historical tours, cultural tours, hiking, trekking, cooking classes, local experiences, and much more! "

How did you get involved in travel?

"My journey into the tourism industry was inspired by my uncle, who worked in the same sector. Growing up, I was surrounded by tourists, fostering an early connection with the world of travel. After I got my baccalaureate, I decided to pursue my higher education in English studies. My eagerness to engage with native speakers and my childhood curiosity about other cultures only deepened my passion for tourism. "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"My most unforgettable travel memory was when a friend asked me to be their tour guide to Boumalne Dades, a region not too far from my home in Tinghir. Surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes and watching travelers marvel at the beauty of the Dades Valley was a game-changer. Their joy and curiosity fueled my passion for tourism even more. It was a defining moment that I'll always cherish."

The trip was absolutely amazing. It was a perfect introduction to Morocco. We inquired with the team and they were very considerate of what we wanted to see and really listened to us. They worked with us prior to the trip and made sure we understood the landscape of Morocco and provided suggestions based on our preferences. Nihad was the one who curated our itinerary and was always available. Sharon also took the time to meet with me via Zoom so we can easily discuss our trip. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by our driver Rachid who was very pleasant and answered our questions and of course, a very skillful and safe driver. He coordinated with our Riad to meet us and help us with our luggages. Our Marrakech Medina Walking Tour Guide was Hassan and he was very knowledgeable and patient with our questions and waiting for us as we took time to take photos. We learned so much about the culture and the people. We had to switch drivers/guides the following day and it was Ahmed who took care of us the rest of the trip. He was a careful driver and with really good taste in music. We truly enjoyed his playlist. He truly acted like our concierge during our camel ride and dinner at Agafay desert as well as our dinner at La Boheme - a truly wonderful evening.
The rest of the trip was spent in Essaouira and Ahmed suggested places to eat and where to hang out for evening drinks. Afterwards, he really took care of us through our long drive to Casablanca for our return flight.
I also would like to mention Abderrahman who coordinated with us also as we transitioned between guides and drivers. Everyone was very accommodating and was always available for anything that we need. Highly recommended!

Hotel & Spa Dar Sara

Great location and friendly staff. Hotel is located very close to the Dar El Bacha and Bacha Coffee and the souks. It was very cozy and very quiet with security along the side streets leading to the Riad. Staff was very friendly and accommodating and always willing to help. Would recommend this if you like a cozy place to stay that is near the souk.

i have travelled a lot and been on a number of great trips, but this one is at the top of my list. Nihad listened to us and put together a great itinerary and the riads and hotels that we stayed at were very nice. The star of our trip was, however, our driver, Abdel. He was reliable, and excellent driver, and a lot of fun. We became part of his family and he part of ours. If you are planning a trip, I would ask for him.

The company's name summed up our experience: we felt that we were immersed in Morocco. In addition, to visiting some of the most common sites, we enjoyed our off-track journey through the Atlas Mountains, we enjoyed our cooking classes, which took us into individual's homes, and we loved having tea at Abdel's parents. Tom also enjoyed his hikes, and all but one of our guides were informative and personal. We learned a lot.

I should note that our trip was longer than most. We were there for 30 days, which gave us time to see the country a leisurely pace and to see the backroads.

Kasbah Tiziri

Of all the places we stayed on our month-long trip to Morocco, this was my favorite. The owners did a fabulous job refurbishing the Kasbah: our room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and squeaky clean. In addition the Kasbah had beautiful public spaces, both inside the Kasbah and outside. Adding to the charm, were the donkeys that walked by in the early morning on their way to the fields. The best part of the Kasbah was the owner, Michelle, who was from the United States, and who could help me understand what it had been like to purchase and renovate the Kasbah and now to run it. We had several long chats over tea and, while my partner went hiking, she had one of the members of her staff teach me how to make msinenmen.

While this Kasbah was fine, it did not have the character or warmth of the other kasbahs in which we stayed. Parking was difficult, there were weeds growing out of steps, and a tea set sat on a table for two days. The manager also did not interact with us in any meaningful way. Thus, although the kasbah was fine, it was not anything special.

Dar Eau Vive
Bine el Ouidane

Dar Eau Vive is an upscale hotel on a cliff overlooking the river. Because there was a large group there the weekend we were there, the hotel was not as quiet or as romantic as it might have been on a weekday. Although the rooms are nice, our was small and we ended up putting our suitcases on the balcony, which was covered. The pool is small but nice and the gardens are outstanding. On one of the nights we were there, a group of drummers was there, and we had a great time dancing with them.

Riad La Croix Berbère Luxe

Because the riad is in the medina, you have to walk in, and it took us a day or two to figure out how to get out.

We very much enjoyed visiting all the cities and sites on the tour. Plus Hicham took us to several small villages where we got a very intimate view of everyday Moroccan life. That was real treat not listed in the itinerary. We liked all the Riad accomodations during the tour especially our stay with Michelle at the Kasbah Tiziri. All of the local guides were fantastic especially in Marrakech and Fatima in Ait Ben Haddou. Overall we could not be happier with this tour. We came for the sights but left with an extreme appreciation for the warm and welcoming nature of the Moroccan people.

Riad La Croix Berbère Luxe
Marrakech

During our stay at Riad La Croix Berbère Luxe in Marrakesh, we faced an inconvenient issue of having no water from mid-afternoon until the next morning. This unexpected outage was a bit of a challenge, but water did return by morning. Although it was a minor inconvenience, it was not entirely unexpected in an older area, and overall, our stay was decent.

Sahara Stars Luxury Camp
Merzouga

We stayed at Sahara Stars Luxury Camp and found it to be quite alright. I found it interesting that the camp isn't in the middle of the desert but rather on its edge for safety reasons.

I stayed at Riad Farouzi Fes, and it was a pleasant experience despite a minor design flaw that caused me to hit my head on a shelf in the bathroom (I'm almost 6'4). The staff was absolutely amazing, especially a lovely gentleman who wrote our names in Arabic and suggested an outstanding restaurant for dinner. The kindness and hospitality of the staff made the stay a memorable one.

Not only was he highly professional and reliable, but his warm personality and deep knowledge of Moroccan culture and landscapes added immense value to our journey. He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, informed, and engaged throughout the trip.

We were also impressed by the professionalism and thoroughness of all the local guides we encountered. Each one brought a unique perspective and helped us better understand the rich history and traditions of the region.

Among the many memorable experiences, we especially enjoyed the vibrant souks and a hands-on cooking class in the city—both offering a sensory feast and an authentic taste of Moroccan life. In contrast, the rural part of our trip offered breathtaking topography and charming village markets, giving us a chance to experience the country's natural beauty and slower pace of life.

Overall, this trip was a perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and scenery—made exceptional by the people who shared their knowledge and hospitality with us.

Kasbah Itrane Tamnougalt wasn't as charming as the other accommodations. It felt more like a large resort and lacked the personal touch and intimacy of a Riad.

Kasbah Tiziri

Staying at this riad was a truly unforgettable, authentic Kasbah experience. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the attention to detail in every aspect of the property—from the beautifully preserved architecture to the lush gardens that felt like an oasis. The lodging was thoughtfully designed, blending traditional Moroccan charm with modern comfort. The food was another highlight—fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. What made the stay even more special was the warmth and hospitality of our host, who was genuinely welcoming and eager to share the culture and history of the region. It felt less like a hotel stay and more like being a guest in a cherished family home. Highly recommended for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Moroccan culture in a setting that is both peaceful and inspiring.

This is the 2nd trip we've booked through KimKim. It allowed us to access the best of the best in local companies. We considered a few different tour companies, but KimKim's connection to Morocco Immersion Tours & Adventures won out, and we can't be happier about it.

Leaving Morocco after just 10 short days was incredibly difficult! We’ve traveled the world extensively, but this trip, meticulously crafted by Morocco Immersion Tours & Adventures, stands out as one of our most cherished experiences.

Before embarking on this journey, KimKim allowed us to Zoom with owners, Sharon and Abdou, and coordinator Nihad. We exchanged ideas and expectations, and the trip they organized exceeded our wildest expectations. Nihad kept us updated throughout the planning process, making adjustments and ensuring that we had everything we needed for our private two-couple vacation.

We travelled all over Morocco - Casablanca to Rabat to Meknes to Fes, Merzouga to Boumalne Dades, and finally onto Marrakesh, with so many places in-between. We even crossed the Atlas Mountains twice.

Morocco is a unique and intricate country, but our trip truly came alive thanks to our exceptional driver and guide, Abdelhadi Oulaid (Abdel). His care, attention to detail, humor, and knowledge made this experience unforgettable. Sharon and Abdou aptly describe their company as a family enterprise, and while Abdel may not be blood, he made the four of us feel like part of his family.

All the hotels and riads we stayed in, carefully selected by Morocco Immersion, were magnificent, especially the Eden Boutique Hotel in Dades.

Throughout our Morocco Immersion trip, their hand-picked, specialized guides led us on an enriching journey of learning and discovery. Exploring with these guides and Abdel, we were introduced to a vibrant tapestry of Moroccan culture and people. The Amazigh, the indigenous Berber people, exude warm hospitality, kindness, and generosity.

Choosing highlights is an arduous task, but the golden sands of the Sahara, the chaotic yet captivating allure of Fes and Marrakech, the tranquil beauty of the Atlases and Dades Valley, and Abdel’s infectious humor and genuine care all stand out. Owner, Abdou, met us in Dades with a heartfelt embrace and personally guided us through the bustling market. He led us on a winding, historical walk through an old kasbah and brought us to a private home where we were warmly welcomed with tea and lunch. Our hosts, two sweet Amazigh women, used our market purchases, and prepared the most delectable couscous of our entire trip.

Despite the vast distances we covered and the numerous places we visited, Abdel’s exceptional care and attention to detail ensured that our trip was an absolute delight. He went above and beyond, escorting us to evening activities, fulfilling every request, and ensuring our safety and well-being at all times.

Morocco Immersion truly excels in providing an immersive experience. Sharon and Abdou’s expertise, extensive connections, and remarkable ability to coordinate complex activities seamlessly throughout a tight itinerary are truly impressive. Thank you, KimKim for partnering with them!

When you know you are going to spend 15 days traveling more than 1000 miles in a vehicle you tend to be a little apprehensive about the person you are going to spend time with. He was personable, an excellent driver and more than fulfilled his role as tour manager by connecting with each city tour guide, riad or hotel to make the process seamless for us. Also, when necessary, he ardently advocated for us. Our favorite places to visit were Chefchaouen, Merzouga (Sahara Desert) and Dades. I indicated to Nihad I wanted a high end experience and the riads, botique hotels and the camp in the Sahara she selected were all excellent. Would highly recommend.

First, Nihad did a great job organizing our trip and making adjustments based on what we wanted to do - - very flexible when we discussed different options. The driver / guide was excellent.

The real value of the team came into focus when we broke an ankle on Day 2. The team rushed to our side and worked with us to get to a hospital for care and stayed by our side and were able to interpret for us while the doctor was explaining various options for care. When we decided to cut a trip short to head home for more definitive care, they provide options on the best way to get home considering we were 9 hours from Marrakech at that point.

They did a great job - thank you.
