Morocco FAQ

Citizens of the UK, the EU, the US, Canada, Australia and many other countries do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days. You just need a valid passport. Always check the latest requirements for your nationality before you travel.

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are ideal for the whole country. Summer is very hot inland and in the desert. Winter days are pleasant, but nights in the desert and the Atlas are cold.

With 3 or 4 days you can go from Marrakech or Fes to the desert. With 7 or 8 days you can combine the desert with the imperial cities. With 10 to 15 days you can add the north, Chefchaouen or the Atlantic coast.

The official languages are Arabic and Amazigh (Berber). French is widely used and Spanish is common in the north. Our drivers speak Spanish, English and French.

Plugs are the European type (C and E, 220 V). Morocco normally uses GMT+1, but switches to GMT+0 during Ramadan.

The currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD). You can change money at the airport, banks and exchange offices, or use ATMs. Cards are accepted in many places in the cities, but cash is best in villages and in the desert.

Yes, tipping is customary. People usually leave a small tip at restaurants and for guides, cameleers and drivers, depending on how happy they are.

We recommend comfortable clothes that cover shoulders and knees, especially in medinas and villages. For the desert, bring something warm for the night, comfortable shoes, sunglasses and a scarf for sun and sand.

Morocco is a popular and welcoming destination. As on any trip, keep an eye on your belongings in crowded places. Travelling with a driver and local guides makes everything easier.

We recommend bottled water, which you can buy in any shop.

Merzouga (Erg Chebbi) has the highest and most accessible dunes. Zagora is the shortest option from Marrakech, with smaller dunes. Erg Chegaga is the wildest: you reach it by track and there are fewer people.

From Marrakech it is about 560 km, so the journey is usually split over two days with stops. From Fes it is about 470 km and can be done in one day across the Middle Atlas.

You ride a dromedary to camp at sunset. Then there is a Berber dinner, music by the fire and a sky full of stars. There are simple camps and others with a private bathroom in the tent.

Yes. All our trips are private: you travel only with your group, with your own driver and vehicle.
