We plan our private tours to include free time for you to explore on your own. You can take advantage of this free time or choose to venture off at any moment during the tour. Just be mindful of the departure time for the next activity if you decide to go solo! If you want to enjoy an afternoon to yourself, simply let the group leader know your plans for smooth coordination.

A riad is a traditional Moroccan home or palace. It is known for its central courtyard or garden. You can usually find it in the medina, the historic walled city. The layout includes rooms and shared spaces around an open area. This area often has bright plants, fountains, or small pools. This inward-facing design fosters privacy and serenity, setting riads apart from contemporary hotels. Many riads, once homes of wealthy merchants or courtiers, are now guesthouses or boutique hotels. They offer a warm, culturally rich experience with personalized service.

Certainly! Most of our private tours feature a combination of Riads and hotels. Keep in mind that Riads are smaller than typical hotels, so we highly recommend booking early. They tend to fill up quickly. If we can't secure your preferred Riad, we will provide the next available Riad of equal quality, if possible.

Discover the magic of Morocco with our private desert tours. Visit the beautiful dunes of Erg Chebbi (Merzouga) and Erg Chigaga. Each tour includes private 4x4 rides, sunset camel treks, and overnight stays in luxury or standard desert camps. All tours are led by English-speaking driver-guides. Pick from popular 3-day tours that leave from Marrakech or Fes. You can also choose longer trips that mix desert fun with visits to historic cities and the stunning valleys of the Atlas Mountains.

Travelers tell us that the difference between a 4-star and a 5-star hotel is in service quality. It also includes attention to detail and the variety of services and amenities available. A 5-star deluxe hotel typically provides nearly every luxury amenity imaginable.

Your safety and comfort are our top priorities when designing private tours in Morocco. We ensure this by selecting experienced drivers and guides, as well as providing reliable accommodations in convenient locations.

We also provide pre-departure information about local conditions, safety tips, and travel insurance options. This helps you travel with confidence.

No, many women in Morocco dress similarly to those in the United States. You can wear whatever you like, with one exception: when visiting mosques. In those cases, you should dress conservatively, much like you would when entering a church here—no shorts or tank tops. As in any country, it's wise to be mindful of your clothing choices to avoid drawing unwanted attention.

To use electrical equipment bought in the United States, you'll need a converter and an adapter. Standard outlets provide 220V at 50Hz, although you may find 110V in older buildings

While it's not required, we strongly suggest that our tour participants buy a standard travel insurance policy. We have a partnership with Travelex Insurance Services for this. This affordable plan protects you from unexpected events. It covers trip cancellations, delays, medical emergencies, and lost or damaged baggage.

In Morocco, you can easily exchange your US and Canadian dollars at any bank, and most hotels will also provide this service. The local currency is the Dirham (DH).

In Morocco, bartering is a common practice when making purchases. Some people embrace this unique aspect of Moroccan culture, while others may find it challenging. To start, take the time to explore various merchants and their offerings before settling on a rug you like. Stroll through the medina and compare prices to ensure you make an informed choice.

Many travelers wonder if they should let their tour guides handle the bartering for them. Our government-certified guides know a lot and earn a commission on sales. However, we suggest you handle the negotiation yourself. Most of our travelers like to handle this process on their own. They may also ask a friend or a fellow tour member for help.
