The answer is YES. One of the most stable nations in this area is still Morocco. Like it is with all other countries, we always advise our visitors to consult your country’s travel advice before traveling to Morocco.
Morocco is best visited in the spring, from March to May, or the fall, from September to October. If you don’t mind the cold or want it to be extremely hot and sunny, other months might also be enjoyable.
Traveling alone is typically not an issue. However, it’s crucial to be conscious that western women receive more attention from their western nations than they are accustomed to.
Being friendly repellent and remaining unaffected when a stranger speaks to you is a wise move. Also, avoid wandering through narrow, gloomy alleyways after nightfall.
Consult your local authorities if you are a tourist from a country that requires visas.
We advise getting travel insurance because accidents and illnesses can happen everywhere.
Morocco’s two official languages are Berber and Arabic. You’ll also notice that French is frequently used, considering Morocco was formerly a French colony.
The Moroccan dirham is the official currency throughout the whole country. Credit cards are frequently used, and ATMs that dispense local cash are widespread.
In Morocco, there is a public transportation system that combines buses and train to connect the major cities. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us because we can also arrange for your transportation across Morocco.
With activities for all ages, a family trip to Morocco is a blast. Visit the Ourika Valley, ride a camel in the Sahara Desert, go hot air ballooning above Marrakech, explore the vibrant Fez medina, and so much more. This moderately Muslim nation in North Africa welcomes all visitors.
You can get to Merzouga desert (Erg Chebbi dunes) by public bus from Marrakech or Fes by SUPRATOURS bus. We will be there to meet you and drive you to our desert camp.
Also, you can rent car and drive to Merzouga, or we can arrange your transportation.
We accept deposits and payments via Pay Pal or bank transfers, Western Union, and cards.
The closest airport to the Merzouga Desert is in Errachidia City, which is one hour and thirty minutes distant. We can arrange you transportation to and from the airport.
There is no need for sleeping bags. Both the ordinary and deluxe campers come with comforts including real beds, pillows, and plenty of blankets.
We advise putting on long pants, relaxed shoes, a hat (especially in the summer), sunscreen, sunglasses, and a small backpack to carry your valuables.
Yes, we can arrange your trip in Morocco. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for further details.
