Original Travels Co

In a world full of travel options, we know how important it is to find something that feels personal and meaningful — not just another trip, but an experience that stays with you.

What makes Original Travels truly special is the heart behind it. Born and raised in the Berber lands of the Atlas Mountains, Abdel, our founder, started this journey with one goal: to share Morocco’s soul with travelers like you. For us, it’s not just about visiting iconic sites; it’s about immersing yourself in the culture, connecting with local communities, and experiencing the traditions that make this country so unique.

When you choose to travel with us, you’re not just exploring Morocco; you’re supporting its people and its future. Abdel’s vision is rooted in sustainability — from working with local artisans and offering eco-friendly stays to creating opportunities for rural communities. Every step of your journey contributes to something bigger, leaving a positive impact for the people and places you encounter.

And because we believe every traveler’s dream is unique, we create experiences tailored to you. Whether it’s a peaceful moment in the Atlas Mountains, the vibrant energy of Marrakech, or the magic of the Sahara under a starlit sky, we’ll help you design a journey that’s as unique and unforgettable as Morocco itself.

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.

Our trip to Morocco was incredible from start to finish! KimKim made it very easy to plan the perfect trip, and everything was seamlessly coordinated throughout our trip. Our driver, Ilyace, was absolutely wonderful. He was punctual and very easy to get along with. Most importantly, he drove safely through mountain passes and winding roads. He ensured that we stopped to stretch our legs at interesting sites during our long travel days, and he brought us to fantastic and authentic Moroccan cuisine along the way. Our riads were beautiful (especially in Marrakesh and the camping experience in the desert), the food was incredible everywhere we went, and the tours were a great way to learn about the history of the cities.

Incredible riad! This was one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The riad was beautiful, the room was spacious and comfortable, and everyone was very accommodating. The location was perfect, as it was near the entrance to the medina and not too far from the main square. The complimentary breakfast was delicious too! Would absolutely recommend staying here!

The best part of this riad was the dinner that served on our arrival -- we are foodies, and we are not exaggerating when we say this was the best meal of our trip and, quite possibly, one of the best meals of our lives. HIGHLY recommend!!!

Everything about this experience was incredible. Our visit started with a 2-hour camel ride to the camp site, then we were welcomed with tea and pastries on arrival. Our "tent" was perfect with all of the amenities we would need -- electrical outlets, full bathroom, heater (if needed), fans (if needed), comfortable bed, wifi. We were made to feel at home by the staff at the camp. We had delicious meals for breakfast and dinner (and they accommodated vegetarian preferences with delicious meal as well), followed by stargazing and a drum circle around a campfire. On our second day at the camp, the staff organized a tour for us around the desert and an ATV ride in the afternoon. Overall, this was incredibly special part of our trip, and we would highly recommend this experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trip of a Lifetime in Morocco — Perfectly Planned & Unforgettable!

We just returned from the most magical journey through Morocco, organized through KimKim and we cannot recommend them highly enough! Every moment of this trip was thoughtfully planned, perfectly paced, and filled with unforgettable experiences.

Our guide and driver, Illyce from Origins Travel, made this trip extraordinary. He was warm, funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and an exceptional driver through every twist of the mountains and desert. Traveling with him felt like being shown Morocco by a friend who loves his country deeply and wants you to love it too.

A huge thank-you to Said from KimKim, the local agent who customized our trip to our interests with perfection. The itinerary balanced historical sites, cultural immersion, incredible scenery, adventure, and time to savor each destination.

Every accommodation was unique, beautiful, and full of Moroccan charm:
• Rabat — Riad Kalaa
• Chefchaouen — Lina Ryad & Spa
• Fes — Riad Fes Maya Suite & Spa
• Merzouga Desert — Sahara Sky Luxury Camp
• Ouarzazate — Riad Tama & Spa
• Marrakesh — Riad Hikaya
Each property was beautiful and the staff warm and welcoming. All the hotels were perfect!

There are too many highlights to list them all, but here are a few:
• Exploring the blue city of Chefchaouen and hiking to the Spanish Mosque at sunset
• Private tour of Fes with visits to the tile cooperative, rug artisans, and tannery — and yes, we brought treasures home!
• Sunset camel ride and starlit drum circle at Sahara Sky Luxury Camp
• Quad biking in the Sahara was a true adventure! Really amazing to be deep in the dunes
• The extraordinary hospitality of the Berber people in the High Atlas, including lunch in a mountain village home
• Private tours of Marrakesh, especially our incredible guide Abdelhak who was the best city guide we’ve had in any country!
• A spectacular food tour in Jemaa el-Fnaa square at dusk — so much delicious food!
• Scenic drives through the Atlas Mountains, complete with feeding wild monkeys on the roadside
• Coffee stop and tour at Sir Richard Branson’s incredible Kasbah Tamadot property in the mountains
• Witnessing a massive, emotional national celebration in Marrakesh as the territory of Western Sahara officially became a part of

Morocco is now one of our favorite destinations in the world. The beauty, history, food, people, and culture captured us completely. Traveling with KimKim made it effortless and extraordinary. We could not give a higher recommendation. If you're dreaming of Morocco, arrange your trip with KimKim, and if you can, ask for Illyce. He made our trip unforgettable.

Riad Kalaa
Rabat

Beautiful riad in the medina with a rooftop plunge pool and fabulous restaurant. As we had just arrived in Morocco, it was wonderful to relax on the rooftop after arriving and have a delicious dinner right in the riad. I highly recommend!

Sahara Sky Luxury Camp
Merzouga

This adventure was one of the highlights of our trip. From the camel ride at sunset in the sand dunes to our luxury tent to the delicious meal and the exuberant Berber drum circle - it was all perfect! Thank you to the manager Hassan for spending time chatting with us and outlining some of the Berber traditions and cultural highlights. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Authenticity & Character
I am pretty sure real Berbers don't have swanky tents like this, but all the touches were genuine!
Location
This part of the Sahara has sand as soft as powder and it is the most gorgeous terra cotta color.
Staff
So friendly and polite and we LOVED the drum circle around the camp fire.

Riad Tama & Spa
Ouarzazate

We were a little skeptical as we rode down the lane to get to the hotel as it felt like it was in the middle of nowhere. However, the minute the front door opened we were enchanted! It was a true oasis with flowers and vines surrounding a lovely large courtyard and beautiful rooms. The rooftop had a Hammam and BOY DID WE LOVE THAT! We ate dinner there and it was wonderful, as was the breakfast. A truly delightful place to stay in Ouazazate.

Chefchaouen

The location was perfection and the room was large and airy. We loved being able to roam the streets of Chefchaouen and then quickly pop back to the hotel to stow our purchases in the room so we didn't have to lug them around. Great set up for breakfast and an excellent staff.

This probably was our favorite hotel. In the heart of the Marrakesh medina, this hotel's tile work and furnishings were amazing and our room was so beautifully done it made us feel like we were in a room at a palace. A truly great staff who worked really hard to make sure everything was perfect. Also, the best breakfasts we had the whole trip!

Totally amazing experience! The location of the Saraha Sky Luxury Camp is absolutely perfect as it is set within the spectacular sand dunes. The camel ride was so fun, and we really didn't think we would like that part. The camel guide was charming and knew all the photos to catch in order to capture the beauty of the sunset. The camp itself had really nice tents with super comfy beds. Dinner and breakfast are served and the staff does a Berber drum circle after dinner around a camp fire. An absolutely wonderful place and experience.

A Magical 10-day Family Trip in Morocco

Our family had an amazing 10-day trip to Morocco over the New Year’s Eve holiday early this year. Morocco was a very good choice for our trip - so many friendly people, beautiful landscapes and fascinating history. The itinerary put together with Hamza really made the trip for us. We started in Rabat, which let us see the capital city first to get oriented, and then traveled around the country clockwise, ending in Marrakesh.

The highlights of the trip for us are too many to mention. Off the top of my head: seeing macaques in the snow in the Middle Atlas mountains, riding camels at sunset in the Erg Chebbi desert, learning how to properly prepare Moroccan tea in Imlil, seeing daily life in the backstreets of Marrakesh, eating dinner with a local family in Fes, and taking pictures all of the many, many cats.

We were fortunate to have Samir as our driver for the trip. Samir is an excellent and professional driver, very safe and knowledgeable. He was skilled at communicating the logistics of our tour, keeping us informed and checking in on us through WhatsApp. Meeting times and places were always clear and easy. Samir made sure we moved efficiently from place to place, found our other local guides, and helped us get the most out of everything along the way. Samir’s many kind touches along the way were a great part of our wonderful trip.

Samir suggested many stops based on our interests, and all of them were top-notch additions. We especially enjoyed the Atlas movie studio visit in Ouarzazate, the stop at a geology museum and rock shop, and many interesting food and cultural places along the way. His advice on local customs and his familiarity with towns and people and food along the way were a big help.

All of our local guides were also outstanding: Sharif in Fes, Hanan in Marrakesh, Ahmed at Tiziri Camp in the Sahara, and Mohammed in Imlil.
