Important remarks
- Morocco is a Muslim country and the month of Ramadan is of major significance to its residents. During Ramadan, entertainment and alcohol will be restricted in most of the country. The sale of alcohol will be restricted in many places, although some establishments will offer alcohol for sale to tourists. During this period, local businesses may also have shorter opening hours.
- The tours include cultural stops at local workshops so you can learn about the production of traditional crafts.
- Triple rooms in Africa are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Please check which documents are required to enter the country.
- The first dinner at the Marrakesh hotel is subject to your arrival time, as the restaurant closes at 10.30 pm.
- The full board options will have, in addition to the meals specified in the itinerary, lunches included from the 2nd to the 6th day.
- The type of room if the Berbere Palace Hotel in Ouarzazate is confirmed will be with a double bed. In case of requesting a room with two beds, there will be a supplement.
- The order of the itinerary may be altered for logistical reasons, without prior notice, but no scheduled trips will be cancelled (except in the case that adverse weather conditions prevent its realisation).
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Prices are calculated based on admission fees to the sights as of the date of publication. If there is an increase in these prices, you will be promptly informed.
- If you are a person with reduced mobility, please contact us to confirm the suitability of the trip.
