FAQ:
What should I wear during my trip to Morocco?
Morocco is a welcoming and tolerant country, but it is always respectful to dress modestly (covering shoulders and knees). We highly recommend loose, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen for the daytime. However, the desert can get quite cold at night, so always bring a warm jacket or fleece, no matter what time of year you book your Morocco desert trip.
Can we skip the camel ride and go to the camp by car instead?
Yes! If you are traveling with young children, elderly family members, or simply do not want to ride a camel, we have you covered. We can easily transfer you directly to the desert camp in our comfortable 4×4 vehicle so you can still enjoy the sunset and the magic of the dunes.
Do I need to bring cash, or can I use my credit card everywhere?
You will need a mix of both. In major cities like Casablanca and Marrakech, credit cards are widely accepted in hotels, large restaurants, and shops. However, as you travel south through the Atlas Mountains and the Dades Valley, you will need cash (Moroccan Dirhams) for small cafes, local markets, and tipping.
Is it safe to drink the tap water in Morocco?
No! We recommend that international travelers stick to bottled water to avoid any stomach upsets during their holiday. Bottled water is very cheap and easy to find everywhere along your customized Morocco itinerary. We also recommend using bottled water to brush your teeth.
When is the best time of year to do a 10-day Morocco tour?
The most popular times to visit are during the Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) when the weather is warm and perfect for exploring. However, you can do this tour year-round! Our vehicles and handpicked Riads have excellent air conditioning for the summer and heating for the winter.
Why do you require a 20% deposit?
We require a small 20% deposit to guarantee your booking. Because we provide professional drivers and high-quality desert camps, this deposit ensures that all your logistics are secured and ready for your arrival. Your booking is not officially confirmed until the deposit is received.
Are there private bathrooms and showers in the desert camp?
Yes, absolutely! Because we book high-quality accommodations for our private Morocco tours, your luxury tent will have a private, en-suite bathroom. This includes a modern flushing toilet, a sink, and a hot shower right inside your tent for maximum comfort in the Sahara.
