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.

A Wonderful 10-Day Journey Through Morocco—with Special Thanks to Hamza! 🇲🇦

Our 10-day trip through Morocco with Original Travels Company was a wonderful experience, filled with beautiful scenery, fascinating history, delicious food, and warm hospitality. The team thoughtfully arranged our accommodations, transportation, sightseeing, and local restaurants, allowing us to relax and enjoy discovering this remarkable country.

A special thank-you goes to our driver, Mr. Hamza, who was exceptional throughout the journey. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, he made us feel comfortable and well cared for every day. His kindness and enthusiasm for sharing his country added so much to our experience. It was a pleasure spending these ten days with him, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone visiting Morocco.

From the beautiful blue streets of Chefchaouen and the historic medina of Fes to the Atlas Mountains, Aït Benhaddou, and the lively souks of Marrakech, each destination offered something memorable. Casablanca and Rabat added another perspective on Morocco’s rich history and modern life. Along the way, we enjoyed authentic Moroccan meals, refreshing mint tea, and moments of genuine connection with the people we met.

We have a few constructive suggestions that could make future trips even more comfortable. Guests would benefit from advance notice when a riad is located deep within the medina and requires a considerable walk with luggage. Assistance with carrying or transporting bags would be especially welcome. Where possible, outdoor sightseeing could also be scheduled for the cooler morning or late-afternoon hours to avoid the intense midday heat.

At the Roman ruins, our scheduled guide was unavailable when we arrived. The replacement guide was pleasant and welcoming, although he appeared understandably tired after leading several earlier groups. Ensuring the designated guide is ready on arrival would improve this part of the experience.

Overall, we were very happy with our journey and appreciated the care and organization provided by Original Travels Company. We returned home with beautiful memories and a deeper appreciation of Morocco’s culture and hospitality.

Thank you to the entire team—and especially Hamza—for making our first visit to Morocco so special!

Dear Samuel and Helen,

Your praise for Hamza has been passed on to him. He will be proud to hear it, and it reflects the standard we expect from every member of our team.

We also appreciate your candid suggestions, and we are putting them into practice. For riads that sit deep in the medina, we will tell guests about the walk before they arrive and arrange help with luggage. We will plan outdoor visits around the temperature, keeping the hottest hours for indoor stops or rest. We also apologize for the guide mix-up at the ruins. We are reviewing it with our local partner so that each guide is confirmed beforehand and a replacement is on standby.

We would be delighted to welcome you back, and I would be happy to help plan your next journey.

Flight options would have been appreciated. Also, the car provided was not good enough. It was too old and uncomfortable. We also should have been aware of what constitutes a Riad. We enjoyed it as an experience but we would have preferred slightly better hotel options.

Nevertheless, the best part of the trip was our driver Samir. He made the trip worthwhile for us: he was humble, respectful and courteous. He was also very good driver and had a great attitude, a wonderful ambassador for your country. We highly recommend Samir and will mention him to our friends who wish to visit Morocco!

An unexpected highlight of the trip. This was added to our itinerary without me giving it much of a thought at all. It turned out to be a highlight of the trip. This was the single best guide I have ever had on any trip I’ve been to. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Wish I could have spent more time in volubilis!

Dear Debbie,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review, and for trusting us with your family's adventure for a second time! It means a lot to us that three generations could create these memories together across Morocco.

We're delighted the balloon ride over the Atlas Mountains and the desert evening near Marrakech made such an impression, alongside the hiking in the Berber villages and your relaxing finish on the coast. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Rachid and Said, who clearly made your journey seamless from start to finish.

We can't wait to welcome your family back for a third adventure whenever you're ready!

Warm regards,
Abdel
