We were a group of 14 (4 families) traveling from Philadelphia to Morocco on a 7 day trip. Sharon was a our KimKim specialist designed the itinerary and made necessary arrangements for travel, stay and tour guides at all the locations we visited in Morocco.
Our experience has been one of the best! It was our first visit to the African continent and to a culture that is very different from the Eastern (India) or Western (US) culture.
Morocco is one of the cleanest countries that I have been to. Every city street we visited is kept very clean! Kudos!

Here is a a list of our memorable experiences:
-Fes - Belly dance in a local restaurant. Make sure you make your dinner reservations well in advance. Between the wine, music and dance you will truly enjoy the experience.
Soak up the sun and try ALL the local food (with bottled water). I was interested to try camel meat but to my surprise it was hard to find a dish made of camel meat in local restaurants.
-Merzouga - The camel ride to the desert camp and ATV ride back is an awesome experience. Watching the sunrise from top a high sand dune is memorable.
-Boumalne Dades - Do not miss the view of the Jorge! Whew - breathtaking! Walking in the valley and being with nature (for a little while) and meeting the locals (Amazigh, also called as Berbers but please use Amazigh to refer to them).
Marrakesh - The market square has so much to see, eat and witness, your senses are going to get pounded. Pace yourself and enjoy everything, one at a a time.
We had teens traveling with us and never felt unsafe in Morocco. Well, they went to a nightclub in Marrakesh and returned at 3am in cab by themselves, if that isn't safe enough, what is!

Shoutout to Mohammed (tour guide), Ahmed (driver), Hassan (Guides), Sharon and KimKim!

Highly recommend KimKim and Morocco for a very diverse experience!

Hi Ravi, Thanks so much for taking the time to write us all such a wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience in Morocco! So sorry for not getting to meet you in person as you came through the Valley of Roses - we had some guests at our home that day and it was difficult to get away. Sorry you didn't get to try to camel meat - since camels are very valuable animals they actually don't eat them a lot and it is considered a delicacy in Morocco. So, I guess... Read more

Hi Ravi,

Thanks so much for taking the time to write us all such a wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience in Morocco! So sorry for not getting to meet you in person as you came through the Valley of Roses - we had some guests at our home that day and it was difficult to get away. Sorry you didn't get to try to camel meat - since camels are very valuable animals they actually don't eat them a lot and it is considered a delicacy in Morocco. So, I guess you'll just have to come back for that - and next time you will need to spend some more time in the Dades Valley and really absorb the Moroccan Amazigh culture and hospitality!

Thanks again for the review and for trusting us with your (big) family holiday!
Take care and keep in touch!
Sharon, Mohammed, and the rest of the Morocco Immersion family
