Hamza of Original Travels was an amazing guide. He was punctual, friendly and always pointed out new experiences for us to stop and try and shared insider traveler information, like amazing restaurant suggestions. He was receptive to our needs and questions about the area and was a great mediator for working out our needs and plans, like moving our camel ride to an earlier time in Agafay. Having a local guide made the trip much more memorable and fun! It is the best way to get introduced to all of the best spots in Morocco. It was my second time with Hamza and we would love to return and use him as our guide again. He is simply the best!!
Additionally, the accommodations selected by Kim Kim were perfectly located and appointed. I would also like to mention how much we enjoyed the help and kindess of Muhammed at Palais Sabban- he was the best at transporting our bags and answering to our needs while on the property. This riad is a crowning gem and we loved everything about it.
Our tour guide in Essaouria, Hussan, was an extrememly knowledgeable historian and we appreciated all of the details of the area's history and sights that he took time to share with us.
I wish I could remember the name of our camel guide, he was so much fun and was the best photographer!
Again, many thanks to Kim Kim and Said for putting together an amazing itinerary for us. Our local guide Hamza made the trip so memorable and fun, it would not have been the same experience without him. We look forward to returning to Morocco!
Hotel Reviews
This was such a special and unique experience. The grounds and rooms were nicely appointed and it was such a curated and special place. The food and the service were spectacular.
A wonderfully appointed oasis of a hotel. The location was unbeatable, with the beach and beach restaurant and the sounds of the ocean just steps from the building. Very good breakfast!
This was my second time staying at this riad and I loved it even more this time. It is in a perfect location, and a peaceful oasis from the hullabaloo of the city. It is so beautiful and each detail displays the depth of gorgeous Moroccan architecture and detail. We loved the peaceful rooftop with the pool and bar and many comfortable places to sit and relax. Muhammed was our baggage help/doorman, and he made the experience enjoyable for us with his attentiveness and kind conversations.
Activity Reviews
Although it could not compare to the experience I had in the Sahara desert, it was a great experience for it's proximity to Marrakesh. Our camel guide was so kind and the best photographer! The tour company was kind enough to move our time up by an hour so that we would not miss the dinner and performance of the camp.
Hamza was prompt and waiting for us when we arrived. We love Hamza!
Hussan was a fabulous guide. His historical knowledge of the area shined throughout his tour and we learned so much from him. This was a very worthwhile and greatly enjoyable activity. We loved that it was a small, private tour.
We loved wandering and exploring on our own, especially within the souks and the medina at night was fabulously alive!
