Important Notes
ACCOMMODATION NOTE:
Please be aware that properties we stay in with only two stories may not have elevators installed and
climbing the stairs with your luggage will be necessary.
ITINERARY PACE
This is a very fast paced itinerary which covers lots of ground. While this is great as it allows us to see a
huge amount in the available time, it also means some early starts, some long drives in the mini van and
less free time than many other G Adventures. We feel that if you enter this trip with this knowledge and
expectation, you will appreciate even more the variety of locations we are able to include in this itinerary.
TRANSPORT
The legroom in the minivan is possibly smaller than you may be used to and taller passengers may find
space a little cramped. It is important to be aware that as it is not a legal requirement in buses in
Morocco, your vehicle may not be equipped with seat belts.
CAMEL RIDE
It is not possible to reach the middle of the dunes, where we watch the sunset, by 4WD or any other
vehicle. There is the option to walk (can be very hot and tiring) for those who cannot/prefer not to ride a
camel.
WEATHER
Please note that the climate in Morocco can be both very hot during the day in summer months (up to
50°C) and cold at night in the mountains in autumn, early spring and winter (down to -6°C). Summer
months, from April to September are very hot throughout Morocco. Winter months November to March
can be cool to cold, especially in the Atlas Mountains, with high probability of snowfall. Most Moroccan
buildings are not equipped with heating, so without proper layers you will be cold at night. Please bring
appropriate clothing for the months in which you are travelling and check temperatures before you leave.
Bedding is provided in the desert camp and the gîte, but in winter months if you feel the cold you may
wish to bring a sleeping bag too.
RAMADAN
According to the lunar cycle, Ramadan will fall between Feb 28th – Mar 29th 2025, and Feb 17th – Mar
19th 2026. Please note that Ramadan is a month of fasting observed by Muslims throughout the world,
during which time the followers of Islam should not eat or drink between sunrise and sunset. There may
be some limitations to services and disruptions to schedules during Ramadan, but generally our tours still
operate effectively during this period and food is available to non-Muslims throughout the day. It is very
important to display increased cultural sensitivity during Ramadan. Please wear loose fitting clothes, that
cover knees and shoulders, and try to avoid eating, drinking or smoking in public out of respect for those
who can’t at that time.
AID AL-ADHA
During your visit to this country, we would like to inform you about an important celebration called Aid Al-
Adha. This holiday may impact your travel experience, as most shops and restaurants are closed duringthe celebration. Some of the historical places we visit might also be closed during this time. There will be
a shorter number of staff at the hotels and less crowded streets on the day of the celebration. Aid Al-
Adha will fall between Jun. 16th-17th 2024, and Jun. 6th-7th 2025.
