Hakim ALIBOUCHE

Hello dear travelers,

My name is Hakim ALIBOUCHE, your local Travel Specialist in Morocco and your future “Dream Tour” designer.

My parents are originally from Midelt, one of the smallest towns in the Middle Atlas, known by the production of apple. I am living in Agadir, the city where I was born and grew up too, which is located on the Atlantic Ocean. With its large beaches, Agadir is considered as one of the main coastal cities in Morocco, especially for the Surfers.

Travelling is an art, it’s a way of life but most of all, it’s an achievement for every single traveler. My duty here is to assist you before, during & after your visit to my beautiful country. I will be very happy to share every single information about Morocco and of course help you design & tailor made your trip to make it "memorable".

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I am organizing tailor made tours around Morocco. The main activities are related to:

* History & Culture
* Trekking & Adventure
* Beach & Relaxation
* Sustainable Tourism "

How did you get involved in travel?

"Tourism was always one of the sectors that attract my attention a long time ago. As a first step, after my baccalaureate, I decided to involve my English skills and there was no better choice than applying to the English Studies department at the university where I had the chance to get a Bachelor's degree in Literature. Just by earning the diploma, I applied to a Specialized Institute where I decided to study Travel Agencies and Tourisme before I applied to the Higher Institute of Tourism in Tangier where I got my professional Bachelor's Degree in Hospitality & Tourism Marketing. Now, with over 4 years of experience in this field of Tourism, I could already say that it influenced me in both my personal and professional life."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One of the experiences I'll never forget is the 2 days trekking activity I participated in in 2018 through the High Atlas Mountain and especially on its second day where I reached the Sommet. It was such a great adventure, standing at the top of the mountain near the sky and the cloud. Additionally, the night at the gite with the locals was also remarkable in my life. I'm definitely sure that I'll do this activity twice & trice in the nearest future."

We loved our time in Morroco and have memories for a lifetime. We met some wonderful people along the way and thought everyone introduced to us by KimKim was very nice. However, I would not recommend using this service. We are easygoing travelers and can roll with imperfections, but this was just not worth the money. We totally understand they are offering a service and have to mark everything up, but the service wasn't good enough to justify what we paid. One tour guide out of three was stellar (Youseff in Rabat was phenomenal!). One hotel out of three was really lovely. For the hotel in Casablanca, we were put on one of the floors that had not been remodeled. The carpet smelled terrible, the furnishings were old and the room was small. I asked the front desk if some floors were better than others and she said yes but for the "level" we had been booked at we were not being given a premium room. They moved us to another floor with a bigger room and while the smell was better, it wasn't newly renovated. We're not sure what happened with that. Our driver was SO nice, and we liked him a lot, but he barely spoke English, so we couldn't ask him questions about anything we were seeing along the way which felt like such a shame. We only found out the driver wouldn't speak English after we booked and we received more details about the trip. Again, we're easygoing and we're certainly not mad at anyone for not speaking English well (as an American, I'm embarrassed for not speaking any other languages), but since we were paying so much, we figured we'd be really taken care of. Aside from that, one of the tour guides we had admitted to us that our driver was nice but didn't seem experienced and should have handled a couple of things differently with coordination and knowing where to go. We still tipped him well and liked him, we just didn't feel the service matched up to what we paid (which was a LOT). Long story short, we could have booked this trip for about 1/3rd of the price and hired a local driver and tour guide directly and been just as well off. It's our fault for booking last minute and doing it too quickly without asking more questions. So I'm mad at myself more than anything. Just do yourself a favor and really dive in and understand what you're booking so you can feel good about your purchase. We certainly did not.

Youseff was phenomenal! He spoke English really well, which was helpful to us and he was super knowledgeable and personable. We'd HIGHLY recommend him to anyone. Our tour was only 3 hours, though, so I am not sure why this description says 6 hours. But all the same, we really liked him.

Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen is an amazing place that is a must do for any Morocco trip. The hotel is small and a bit of a walk from where we were dropped off (as cars cannot get here). The room was nice and quaint and is in a good position within the city. Make sure if you are going out that you know how to find your way back. There are lots of small roads and it is easy to get lost. It is quite a hilly city, so keep this in mind if you have trouble walking (as there are no roads where you can get transport within the city).

Riad Kniza
Marrakech

Well, what can I say about this place? It is hard to describe their Riad in words. It is breathtaking! It is like a royal palace. There are rooms everywhere that you can enjoy as a guest. They are so elegant and impressive. Nothing short of regal. Our room was unbelievable! The detail within the room is hard to describe. Everything from the floors, to the ceilings, to the furniture. Something you need to see to truly appreciate. We had breakfast brought to us each morning on the roof top terrace. Such an amazing way to start the day. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Authenticity & Character
An amazing place. Words don’t do it justice.
Location
This is probably the only downside to this Riad. You have to walk into the Medina through the market area which is a bit crowded and busy. You walk about 5 mins to get to the Riad as cars cannot get in to the Medina.

Auberge Le Festival Todra Gorge

This place is small but beautiful. The location and views are stunning. With just a few additions this place would get a much higher rating from me. The lighting at night is very dim in both the rooms and common areas. The hot water was unreliable. There was a cot in our room leaning against the wall but worst of all, they served instant coffee. All said, I would stay there again and hope that pointing these things out will help them improve.

Our group is pretty active and driving from one place to another for hours (3- to 6- hours, depending on our destinations from one point to the next--we covered A LOT of ground) was hard for us to sit in the van all that time. Mohammed accommodated for our needs to break up the trip with some stops for walking, multiple bathroom breaks, etc.) Also, when we got a tad tired of heavy lunches en route to our destinations, he happily complied with our request for us to pick up picnic food and items at local supermarkets, so that we can have lunch picnic stops! We LOVED that!

On the whole we we pleased with the majority of the local tour guides in the cities, villages we visited. The tour guide we had in Fez, our group found, was our least favorite as he wasn't good at listening to our needs and schedule as the others.
Our highlights were:
-Chefchaouen, the Blue City, as it's very scenic and easy to get around. Our lodging at Dar Jasmine there was lovely! (Note: the location is not for the cumbered walker because to get to the lobby entrance and rooms, you have to climb 165 steps!)
- Our local souk to learn about the ingredients for making Tagine and our cooking class in Fez hosted was a huge highlight for us all!
- Miknes, as Rashid was a very knowledgeable guide there. A spacious city/town that was a welcome respite from the hubbub of Fez
- The Sahara Desert...loved the sunset camel ride and the luxury tent accommodations and food were wonderful
- In Marrakech, sampling food and winding streets, stalls & historic buildings in the Medina with our food tour guide Hanyn was fantastic!

Activity Review
Guided Tour in Fes

Fes

Of all the tour guides we had for our 2-week Moroccan tour, our group found the local guide in Fes to be disappointing. He informed us that he's been giving Fes tours for over 20 years, and that was apparent, as he seemed to be on auto-pilot, and wasn't sensitive to our group's schedule and interests. We felt like we were rushing through areas that were of particular interest to us, but not so much to him. His jokes/humor rubbed the female members of the group the wrong way,

Quality of Experience
We loved working with Hakim, who coordinated our tour, and also our driver Mohamed!
