Our family of four had a fantastic 10 day June trip to Morocco in large part due to the planning assistance of kimkim (Abdel and Said) and the reliability, good cheer and guidance of our wonderful driver, Mustapha. The accommodations and activities/excursions were as described (or better!) and our local guides were knowledgable and friendly. We especially enjoyed our Sahara camel riding experience, our cooking class in Marrakech, our various kasbah visits and our time in Essaouria. We had some long travel days (as planned), but the multiple cultural pit stops along the way made the travel time much more manageable and interesting.

Hotel Reviews
Dar Rihana Dades
Douar Aït Ouffi

We stopped here overnight en route from Marrakech to the Sahara. The setting was lovely, the rooms were spacious and comfortable and the restaurant’s dinner was one of the best meals we had while in Morocco. Wish we had a bit more time to relax here.

Riad Atrium & Spa
Marrakesh

Beautiful, comfortable Riad in quiet section of the Medina. Rooms were clean, comfortable and well air conditioned. Staff was very friendly and hospitable. Breakfast on the roof terrace was great start to the day.
