Trip Reviews
"I can only say that Karim from Original travels have made this journey for us unforgettable and highly recommendable!! Thank you Karim! Sukran! and hope to see you again soon for our next trip in Marocco."

"While we started off as strangers just getting to know each other, towards the middle of the trip, I felt like Tariq had become an honorary member of the family. Our trip would not have been what it was without all of the behind the scenes work he did to make our trip fall into place."
Amanda Parkhurst
"It was bittersweet at the end of our trip and we had to say goodbye to our guide and to such a beautiful country. But we will never forget the memories we created and the amazing places we visited. Thank you, Original Travels and Karim for making our trip so memorable!"
