Introducing Morocco

Morocco is a vast country, extending from its Mediterranean shores in the north to the desert wonderland of the Sahara in the south. Spend an afternoon sipping tea on a Marrakech rooftop, take a camel ride through the desert, or hike in the snow-topped High Atlas mountains; whatever you choose, you'll love experiencing everything Morocco has to offer. 

Where should I go in Morocco?
From the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and Fes to photogenic Chefchaouen and the dunes of the Sahara Desert, Morocco has an incredibly diverse blend of geography, climate, and culture. Each region has its own unique array of activities for travelers to choose from, as well as specific weather patterns to be aware of. Learn more

When is the best time to visit? 
Morocco is a year-round destination, though each of its regions has an ideal time to go. Tangier in northern Morocco, for example, has a pleasant Mediterranean climate year-round, while travelers interested in experiencing the Sahara will want to stick to a trip in Spring or Fall to avoid extreme temperatures. Learn more

Things to Do in Morocco
 
Morocco is full of opportunities for both adventure and relaxation. Take a kitesurfing lesson on the Atlantic Coast, go mountain biking in the High Atlas mountains, or spend a day shopping for rugs and antiques in the fantastic markets of Marrakech. Learn more

How many days do I need in Morocco?
7-10 days is a solid amount of time to explore Morocco's and Imperial cities at a moderate pace. With 2 weeks you can spend time hiking in the Atlas Mountains or explore the coast. With under 1 week, it's best to focus your time: explore Casablanca, Chefchaouen, and Fes in the north, or discover Berber traditions in Marrakech & the Sahara desert. Learn more

Getting around Morocco
Private driver-guides are the best way to travel around Morocco, offering travelers both flexibility and peace of mind. Trains and buses connect the larger cities such as Casablanca, Fes, and Marrakech, while the desert area, Atlas mountains, and coastal towns are best accessed as part of a private tour or day trips.

We had a wonderful 8-day trip through Morocco, led by Noureddine and Yassine from Original Travels. We started off in Tangier and spent the next week on a tour through Chefchaouen, Fes, Merzouga, Ait Benhaddou, Marrakech, and Casablanca. Along the way, we explored the Instagram-worthy sites of the blue city, the Roman ruins of Volubilis, the thousands of alleys—and dead ends—in the Medina of Fes, the towering sand dunes of the Sahara, picturesque hillside kasbahs overlooking green oases below, the snow-covered heights of the Atlas Mountains, the contrast of the lively markets and peaceful gardens of Marrakech, and the enormous scale and beauty of the Hassan II Mosque.

The KimKim team worked with me on crafting a customized itinerary that incorporated all of the sites and activities we wanted and none of what we didn’t. They very graciously worked with me on changes to our travel plans and also were able to work around the Africa Cup of Nations soccer tournament being hosted at the same time in Morocco as that necessitated adjustments to hotel bookings. I’ve never used a travel agency before and I have to say that it was so nice not to have to worry about researching locations, figuring out transportation, working out agendas, etc. It was all taken care of for me.

We met our guide, Nourredine, and our driver, Yassine, at the train station in Tangier and they really were a part of what made the trip work so well. Our mini tour bus provided ample space for all our bags in addition to 4 rows of seats to accommodate 5 people! Needless to say, it was a comfortable ride. I’ve never liked the idea of going on tours as I preferred to avoid the big crowds, so this was a perfect way to get the convenience of the tour with the private feeling of traveling on your own. Nourredine did an amazing job of ensuring our activities went smoothly and were set up to be ready to go as soon as we arrived at each location. We would pull up to a location and a guide would be waiting to escort us on our tour or we’d pull up at the next hotel or riad only to be ushered to a seating area to enjoy mint tea and cookies while our bags and check in process were taken care of for us. Nourredine handled curve balls without ever indicating that there was any problem, including a reschedule of our guided walk through Chefchaouen from the afternoon of our first day to the morning of our second when we told him we were simply too tired. Same thing for the next day as our tour of Volubilis was pushed back when we stayed longer than planned in Chefchaouen. Nourredine would make calls on our drive to the next location and ensure that the timing was worked out. We didn’t even have to worry about getting a table at the restaurants we stopped at on the road; Nourredine would walk in and arrange for our table, then we’d be escorted in to be seated. Definitely royal treatment that I could get used to having!

As for Yassine, it was a pleasure to not have to worry about getting to our various stops safely. I’m usually pretty adventurous when it comes to driving in other countries, but road conditions in some of the more remote areas were not great, and it was comforting to have the confidence that we were being driven by an expert. When going through one small town at the edge of the desert, we encountered a flooded main road and had to navigate through the back alleys of the town to make it past and let me just say that Yassine really knew the dimensions of the vehicle quite well as there was not much room to spare to get through a couple of spots. Nature also threw us a wrinkle of heavy snow in the Atlas Mountains and Yassine had already taken this into account and planned an alternate route. Finally, when my daughter woke up not feeling well the morning before the last pass through the Atlas Mountains, Yassine was absolutely wonderful to her, taking a seat out of the bus so she could sit and admire the view at one of the roadside stops and then driving at a slower-than-usual speed in the mountain switchbacks to keep her comfortable. The driver is often forgotten on these sorts of trips, but our experience showed that having a good one can be quite critical.

Overall, I will sum up by saying that from booking to execution, this experience was a wonderful one and I wholeheartedly recommend KimKim, Original Travels, Nourredine, and Yassine to anyone who is considering a trip to Morocco.

Kasbah Titrit
Ait Ben Haddou

Honestly not my favorite hotel. Beautiful location and the place had a lot of character with a lovely entry and dining area and some of the rooms built into the towers. Staff were very friendly as well. So, there were a number of positives. That said, the rooms didn’t feel very clean and were in need of some sprucing up. Sheets, pillows, and towels were a bit ragged. Lights were either dim or not working well, Bathtubs needed a really good scrub. One cracked window and others with a pretty heavy coating of dirt/dust. One of our two rooms would not lock from the inside (used real keys here, but the key wouldn’t turn the lock from the inside). Also, worth noting that my daughter had food poisoning after eating dinner here. While this could have happened anywhere and may not have been the hotel’s fault, it was the only time this occurred on the trip and combined with the relatively strange way dinner was served (5 chicken tajine orders were served in 3 tajines and 2 on plates, with French fries in the tajines and rice on the plated versions), this just felt like it was worth noting. We rolled with it, but there was another table that was clearly very upset with how their meal came out and they sent a few dishes back. I don’t think I’d necessarily stay at this hotel again.

Our trip was amazingl. Kim Kim paired us with the local travel provider “Original Travels”. To begin with, we were supported by Abdellah who helped guide us to our booking. Once booked, we were handed over to Saïd who ably supported us, quickly and patiently answered all our questions. Once we arrived into Casablanca, we found two of our checked in luggage had not arrived. We filed a complaint with the Royal Maroc Desk, exited the airport and met Ayoub, our driver for the entire trip. He immediately took us to several stores to help us buy immediate necessities like tooth brush, a few clothes etc. With that, we started our trip with a promise from Air Maroc that they would send our suitcases to Fes once they arrived in Casablanca. The two suitcases arrived at Casablanca on Dec 23. But Dec 24 and 25 came and went and they did not arrive at Fes. So, on Dec 26 we told Saïd that we needed to go to Casablanca to try and get our suitcases instead of continuing to the desert camp in Merzouga as per original plan and requested him to make needed changes. Ayoub drove us to Casablanca airport and patiently waited for several hours while we tried to wade through terrible bureaucracy and rude staff at the airport baggage claim. Luckily with the help of a gentleman named Karim who took personal interest to find and get us our luggage, we were miraculously united with the two suitcases. In the meantime, Saïd silently and efficiently worked out needed changes which included booking us into a Riad for the night at Fes, delaying our arrival at the Desert Camp in Merzouga by a day and adjusting our stay in Boumalne Dades by a day. Everything was seamless! In addition to driving, Ayoub was a repository of knowledge and helped us learn about culture, music, geography and history of Morocco. He also guided us to good shops along the way and helped us buy high quality rugs, ceramics etc. in addition, for tours of Fes Medina Mohammed, the guide was very good. Idriss, the guide for the tour of Marrakech Medina was very good as well. Overall, a very memorable trip of a beautiful country and friendly people and tasty good!

I need to talk about Amazigh music. Our driver Ayoub played this form of music throughout the trip and we have gotten hooked. We don’t understand the language but the tunes have a meditative chant-like quality. It was fun drawing parallels with certain forms of folk music from across the world and playing some samples as we drove past gorgeous countryside!

The place was very quaint and beautifully decorated. However there was one small problem. The single restroom had a small window which let in outside air which was cold. So at night we shut the window. Next morning we realised that a smell had accumulated in the restroom, the kind of smell that happens when sewage does not flow smoothly. We reopened the window and that took care of the issue. That apart, it was a pretty property with great views from the terrace and a very good breakfast.

Merzouga

It was very special to see and experience nomad life in the Sahara. On top of that the nomad family prepared dough and baked a pizza in an earthen oven fired with twigs. The raw simplicity was beautiful and the fresh pizza had amazing taste!

The drive through middle Atlas is spectacular! The first sight of the desert in late afternoon sunlight is surreal. We were given a tent in Orient Desert Camp. It was one of two tents at the edge of the cluster of tents with a large window looking out onto the desert.

There is a rendezvous point where a 4-wheel drive Toyota Outlander came and picked us up from our large Kia SUV and drove us over dunes to our desert camp.
Guided Tour of Fez Medina
Guided Tour of Fez Medina
Fes

Mohammad, our tour guide, picked us up from our Riad and we drove to one main gate of the Royal palace and walked from that point. He was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of history as we walked through the medina. The medina itself is amazing and a veritable feast for our senses! Not to be missed! Fes is an ancient town and holy to Islam. It also has the oldest Royal palace and the current King Mohammed VI spends most of his time here. We were told the climate helps his asthma. The alley close to one of the main palace gates has lines of homes with balconies. We were told these homes were owned by Jews. For protection they chose to live close to the palace. Inside the medina there is Al Qarawyn, an ancient mosque established in 985 AD and an ancient madrassa with beautiful ornate calligraphy established in 1400s. Also right there is a large tannery where all kinds of leather is processed and there is a large shop for leather goods where one can buy high quality leather goods. Apart from above spice shops, sweet shops, little shops with all kinds of things and milling crowds make a fascinating mix. Beware of the labyrinthine alleys. One can easily get lost!

Chefchaoeun to Fez via Volubilis, Moulay Idriss & Meknes
Chefchaoeun to Fez via Volubilis, Moulay Idriss & Meknes
Morocco

It was pouring rain the evening when we arrived in Chefchaouen. Walking the hilly streets in the rain was fun and next morning we took a self guided walking tour of the main sites and also went down pretty alleys and at times got lost. Volubilis Roman ruins with frescos like ones in Pompeii were interesting. Our guide, forget his name, looked and sounded very like Joe Pesci! We drove through Moulay Idriss to get a sense of the little town. From Volubilis it sparkled on the hillside in the afternoon sun like a jewel. It is a holy site for Islam and non-Muslims are not allowed into any of the mosques or holy sites. So, not much to do. In Meknes there is a mausoleum. We did not go in. Not sure if non Muslims are allowed to. We checked out the nearby shops and then had a very good lunch at a traditional restaurant just close by….
