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.

The local guides and our driver, the intrepid Hashim, were drawn from a tour group called Immersive Morocco, I think. They were all knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic about the culture and different regions of the country. We stayed inside the walls of the old city in both Fes and Marrakech, which were unique and authentic! The camel camp in the Sahara was a real treat, too. I recommend doing it all!! We also stayed in a renovated casbah. What an experience! It was a lengthy road trip but Hisham knew all the spots to stop, where the cleanest restrooms were located and was able to point out interesting facts along the way. Having a private driver is definitely the way to go!

We had a fantastic week driving all over Morocco and I think what impressed us the most was just how much variety there is! Kimkim did a great job taking care of all the details for us and making it easy & seamless to do so many different things. All of our hotels were great, but the room in Essaouira (Riad Mimouna) was particularly stunning and memorable! We really enjoyed Essaouira and appreciated it being an unstructured day where we could explore on our own. I also want to shout out our Marrakech local guide, Abdella-- he pointed out details we would have never noticed and enriched the walking tour with cultural and historical significance. Moreover, he customized it to our specific interests, taking us to a spices shop at our request with no hesitation. And of course, our night in the Sahara Desert with the camel ride, campsite, sunset & sunrise were just magical.

In retrospect, there were a few excursions that didn't quite meet expectations and/or weren't totally tailored to our interests. It felt like they kept pushing us to buy from local merchants (leather, carpets, silk, oils, etc.), but we were more interested in history than in shopping. We also had much better experiences finding food on our own than in the places they set up for us, which were generally more expensive and had less variety.

All that said, the best part of our experience with kimkim might very well be our driver, Tayeb. He was always punctual, friendly, and professional throughout the trip. I can't imagine trying to navigate through Morocco on our own, through crazy traffic & long drives, and it was so worth it to have someone else manage it for us. But more than that, Tayeb added a lot of unexpected fun and interesting stops along the way! Arguably all of our best meals were on the road at restaurants he picked that we would have never found on our own. They were delicious and very well priced! There were so many hidden gems and experiences he opened up, breaking up the driving time with conversation and humor. He showed us the epitome of Moroccan hospitality and it really felt like we left with a new friend.

Dine with a Local Family
Morocco

This really did not live up to how it was advertised. The family was VERY sweet, and I appreciate them feeding us. But here's how it was described: "When you arrive, they welcome you with smiles and offer mint tea and dates. The father may work in the medina or at a school, and he will proudly talk about Fes. The mother makes sure you feel comfortable. The children may be shy at first, but soon they will come to greet you. Before dinner, you may help a little in the kitchen. The mother can show you how to mix a salad or arrange bread. While cooking, the family asks about your trip, your home, and what you think of Morocco. They tell stories about daily life and their city. Dinner is served at a low table. Everyone sits on cushions." In reality, we sat alone in a silent room while one teenager watched us eat. The mother and father did not speak English at all and thus were unable to converse with us. No one ate with us, the teenager just watched us eat. We paid 650 dirham for chicken tagine, while was paid 120 dirham for the exact same meal at a restaurant. They did not teach us how to cook, we did not sit on cushions, and it was disappointing. But that's not a knock on the family themselves- they were very sweet people!

Guided Tour of Fez Medina

Fes

In reality, this felt like more like a guided tour of where to shop than of the history of Fez. We really weren't interested in buying things and thus felt awkward as we were continuously dropped off at another merchant (leather, silk, pottery, carpets, etc). And when he took us to a historic site, he just dropped us off to check out on our own rather than talking us through it.

Hi Amy,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your Morocco trip. We’re truly delighted to hear that you had a fantastic week exploring the country and that you enjoyed the variety Morocco has to offer, from your stay at Riad Mimouna in Essaouira to the magical night in the Sahara Desert. It’s also wonderful to know that your Marrakech guide, Abdella, and especially your driver, Tayeb, made such a positive impact on your experience. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with both of them.

We also sincerely appreciate your honest feedback regarding some of the excursions in Fez and other activities that didn’t quite meet your expectations. We’re very sorry that certain visits felt overly commercial or didn’t align with your interests in history and culture. Your comments are extremely valuable, and we’ll review these experiences closely with our local partners to ensure they become more authentic, interactive, and better tailored to travelers’ preferences.

Regarding the family dinner and sandboarding, we regret that these moments fell short of what was described. We’re already taking steps to improve the communication and quality of these experiences to make sure future guests receive the genuine and engaging interactions we strive for.

Thank you again for your balanced feedback and for trusting us with your journey through Morocco. We’re happy that the overall experience, especially your connection with Tayeb, left you with such great memories. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future to explore even more of Morocco, with a fully personalized touch.

Warm regards,
Abdel

Imane was amazing in helping us plan the perfect trip for our family, especially since we were travelling with our 2-year-old toddler. She took the time to get on a call, walk through all our options, and tailor everything to our needs.

Said provided excellent on-the-ground support, always quick to help and solve any issues that came up in real time.

And Karim, our driver, made the journey extra special — sharing stories, traditions, and his deep pride in Berber culture throughout the trip.
