At the end of our camel ride, we'll arrive at a Bedouin campsite where we'll spend the night sleeping under the stars. Before we go to bed, our hosts will perform a traditional dance, play the drums, and serve us an exquisitely prepared dinner. We'll sip mint tea, lounge under the stars, and dream of Moroccan merchants and camel caravans!

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.
