We planned our trip with relatively little notice (just under four weeks). Planning would have been very time consuming and completely chaotic without our liaison, Nihad, who calmly and quickly got everything arranged. All we had to do was book our flights!

Once we arrived in the country we were greeted by our tour manager Jamal, who was AMAZING. He drove us around, helped us navigate the language(s) and the culture, and made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything. The additional guides and hosts we encountered at each activity were all so kind and knowledgeable, and seemed genuinely happy to spend time with us. We were hosted in three different family’s homes, and had multiple private tours with just our group (2 people) and our guide. Morocco is a beautiful country and the people there are truly so nice and kind.

This is the second trip I’ve booked through KimKim, and I have a third coming up later this year. I just love how stress-free it makes the planning and appreciate that we’re directed towards activities and lodging that offer more authentic and intimate interaction with the local culture(s). I loved this trip and can’t wait for the next!

Hotel Reviews
Riad La Croix Berbère Luxe
Marrakech

Great way to experience a traditional Moroccan Riad right in the old town part of the city. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Authenticity & Character
Great terrace, traditional decor
Location
Located right downtown in the tunnels of the Medina. That can make it a bit tricky to find and a little scary your first time out alone if you’re not used to it - but it’s very safe and the team there is happy to escort you if you are afraid of getting lost!

Kasbah Roseville
Kalaat M'Gouna

The hair at this hotel is just one of the nicest people I’ve met. So friendly and kind. Room was clean and food was good. Located in a cute small town in the Valley of Roses. Would definitely go back!

Sahara Stars Camp
Merzouga

This place is truly breathtaking when you ride up on your camel. They have all kinds of lanterns and lights for ambiance, walkways of rugs on top of the sand, private tents with electricity and - I really could not believe it - a private WC and shower IN your tent. They perform some traditional Berber music after dinner by the fire which was fun to watch and join in with. The dining experience was a little over the top for me - I would have preferred something a little more toned down. But that might not be the case for you!

It’s in the desert. From what I could tell, a little further back than some of the other camps. About a 30 min camel ride.

Kasbah Itrane Tamnougalt
Tamnougalt

The setting of this kasbah is absolutely stunning. The outdoor area has striking views and a REALLY nice pool. The room we stayed in was spacious - bigger than we needed - and the staff was so helpful and kind. We took a guided tour of the old village just up the road from the hotel and it was my favorite spot on our trip. Not flooded with tourists, well cared for by the townspeople and guides, and views that will knock you off of your feet. DO NOT skip that tour if you have the opportunity.
