Things To Know before you Go!

Marrakech to Fes desert tour 3 days
  • Weather & Clothing: Morocco has a diverse climate. Pack layers! The desert can be very hot during the day and chilly at night. In cities like Marrakech and Fes, light clothing works well, but modest attire is appreciated, especially in rural or religious areas. A scarf or shawl can be useful for sun protection or visiting religious sites.

  • Cultural Etiquette: Moroccan culture is warm and welcoming, but conservative. Greetings are important, and it’s polite to ask before taking someone’s photo. Public displays of affection should be minimal. Learning a few words in Arabic or French (like shukran for thank you) goes a long way.

  • Currency & Payments: The Moroccan Dirham (MAD) is the local currency. Cash is king in many places, especially in small towns and markets. ATMs are widely available in cities. Tipping is customary and appreciated usually 5–10% in restaurants and a few dirhams for local guides or drivers.

  • Health & Safety: Morocco is generally safe for travelers, especially with a local guide. Drink bottled water and bring sunscreen, a hat, and hand sanitizer. No vaccines are required, but it’s smart to carry basic medications. Be cautious with street food if you have a sensitive stomach.

  • Transport & Roads: Moroccan roads are in good condition, but long travel days are common due to the country’s size and mountainous terrain. Your private driver/guide will make stops along the way for rest and sightseeing, but be prepared for stretches of 3–5 hours on the road.

  • Connectivity & Communication: Wi-Fi is widely available in hotels and many cafes, though speeds can vary. If you want to stay connected, consider buying a local SIM card at the airport or in major cities it’s affordable and easy to set up.

  • Desert Experience Essentials: If your tour includes a desert overnight, pack a small bag with essentials like toiletries, flashlight, and a warm jacket. You’ll leave your main luggage with the driver while you enjoy camel trekking and the Sahara camp experience.

  • Shopping & Souvenirs: Morocco is a shopper’s paradise! From carpets to pottery and argan oil to spices there’s so much to choose from. Haggling is expected in souks, so have fun with it, and don’t be afraid to walk away if the price doesn’t feel right.

  • Photography: You’ll want your camera ready at all times, but be respectful when photographing people, especially in rural areas or markets. Always ask first. The golden hour in the desert is a dream for photos.

  • Flexibility Is Key: While the tour is planned with care, Morocco’s charm often lies in the unexpected maybe it’s a spontaneous tea invitation or a surprise festival in town. Embrace the journey with an open heart, and it’ll be unforgettable.
