Frequently Asked Questions

+ Is Morocco safe for female travelers?

Yes, absolutely!

+ What type of dress code should we follow in Morocco?

It's best to wear modest clothing - we recommend bringing long, flowy pants if you can (but no jeans, as they would be too hot). Short-sleeved or quarter-length-sleeved shirts are fine as well. We would also suggest bringing a lightweight scarf.

+ What are the accommodations like on this trip?

We will spend most of our trip sleeping in "riads" — boutique hotels (under 30 rooms) that used to be old Arabic mansions. On one night, when we are visiting the Sahara desert, we will sleep under the stars in a Bedouin tent.

+ What is the best way to contact the in-country team?

The best way is to download WhatsApp, a messaging system used by all of our international partners. Their numbers are listed on the itinerary.

+ What are standard tip amounts? Is it customary to tip in Morocco?

Tips in Africa are, on average, $5-$10 (USD) per day for the guide and $2-$3 per day for the driver.
