Morocco is a conservative country, so we recommend you dress reasonably conservatively – that is, cover your shoulders and knees. That being said, Morocco receives many visitors, and the locals have a relaxed attitude when it comes to visitors and tourism in general.

This trip begins in Casablanca, Morocco and ends in Marrakech. We ask that you fly into Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport, as that is where your hotel transfer will be waiting for you. If you wish to go back to Casablanca upon finishing, there are multiple trains departing Marrakech on a daily basis. The train ride takes nearly 3 hours and for a much more comfortable experience, we recommend a first class ticket, which is not much more expensive than the second class.

We recommend being prepared to spend the equivalent of around 500 euro. It’s possible to spend ​less, but you’ll most likely find yourself buying souvenirs, gifts, or treats. Bank cards are generally usable in Morocco, and ATMs are generally, but not always, available. It is better to change your money on arrival, or you can simply make withdrawals at ATMs before heading into areas with less coverage.

Vegetarians can be catered for, but there is a fairly limited choice (mainly vegetarian couscous and tagine or omelettes). This is particularly the case in rural parts of this itinerary. Please note that, if you have any special dietary requirements, you should inform us prior to the trip. Vegans and those on gluten-free diets may find this region very challenging and may need to supplement meals with their own supplies from supermarkets and markets. Wherever possible, we will cater to dietary needs for any included meals, but there may be times when those with special requirements may need to provide their own food.

Moroccan food is, generally speaking, excellent though not particularly varied. Breakfasts usually consist of bread and jam with coffee or tea.

Meals eaten out are reasonably priced — kebabs and bread cost only about MAD 30. In main towns, it is possible to find very good French and Moroccan restaurants where a meal and French wine will cost anything from MAD 220 upwards. Generally, dinner is likely to cost between MAD 80-120 depending on what you drink.

In some hotels and restaurants you will be able to purchase beers, wines, and spirits, but you can pay Western prices or more for imported alcohol. Please be aware of local laws, beliefs, and traditions by being respectful while consuming alcohol.
