We understand that life can bring unexpected transitions. Because our journeys are intimate and involves significant advance planning, our deposits are non-refundable. If you cancel before the final balance is due (90 days before the start of the trip), we offer a fifty percent refund of any additional payments made, minus the initial deposit and a small processing fee. Within ninety days of departure, we are unable to offer any refunds. However, we do allow you to transfer your place to another traveler for a small administrative fee if you are unable to join us.

Our compass is set firmly on the ground. While we have the TICO credentials to navigate the world of air travel, we choose to focus my energy on what I do best: crafting the visceral, land-based experiences that make your journey unforgettable. Think of us as your architect for everything that happens once you touch down. You are responsible for your own passage through the clouds, but once you land, you can simply breathe and let us take the lead. We are always happy to provide guidance on arrival times and preferred airports to ensure your transition into our sanctuary is seamless. We can also recommend a trusted travel agent to help you book your flights.

Yes. To ensure you are fully protected against the unpredictable, comprehensive travel insurance is a mandatory requirement for every guest. This serves as your safety net for any medical needs, travel delays, or last-minute cancellations. We will ask for proof of your insurance prior to departure to ensure you are covered for the entirety of our time together.

A camel trek into the dunes is often the most profound moment of the journey, but it is natural to feel a bit of trepidation before you mount. Our camels are exceptionally well trained and cared for by local families who have lived alongside these animals for generations. Your guides will be right beside you to ensure your trek is as steady as it is breathtaking. While it may feel unfamiliar at first, you will quickly find the rhythm of the desert. We prioritize both your safety and the well-being of the animals, allowing you to simply lean into the stillness of the Sahara.

Morocco is a country that deeply values its guests and you will find that the authorities are very protective of the tourism experience. As someone who has navigated these landscapes extensively, I can assure you that travel here is both safe and welcoming, particularly when moving with a guided group. While the culture is vibrant and spirited, crimes against travellers are remarkably rare. I am always available to discuss my personal experiences traveling in this beautiful corner of the world if you have specific curiosities.

No specific vaccinations are required to enter Morocco, though I always recommend being up to date on your standard wellness routine. Should any medical need arise, the cities we visit offer modern and reliable healthcare facilities. Regarding the water, while tap water is available, I always recommend sticking to bottled or filtered water to ensure your journey remains comfortable. It is readily available and very affordable throughout our route.

The Moroccan Dirham is the local currency. You can easily exchange your funds at the airport or at various bureaus within the city. You will also find that ATM machines are quite frequent in the larger towns and villages and they generally do not charge additional withdrawal fees. It is always wise to keep a bit of cash on hand for the smaller treasures you might find in the mountains.

Morocco is a beautiful tapestry of languages. While Moroccan Arabic and various Berber dialects are the heartbeat of the country, French is widely used and Spanish is common in certain regions. Most travelers from North America and Europe receive a ninety day visa upon arrival, though I always suggest a quick check with your embassy to ensure your specific passport requirements are met.

The souk is the vibrant heart of the Moroccan market system. These are not merely places of commerce but central hubs of community and craft. You will encounter specialized souks for every imaginable treasure, from the heady aroma of the spice markets to the intricate textures of the textile quarters. Here, you can find hand-woven carpets, heirloom jewelry, and artisan leather goods that carry the soul of the maker within them.

A riad is a traditional Moroccan residence designed with a profound focus on privacy and inner peace. The word itself comes from the Arabic term for garden, which is exactly what you find at the heart of the home. Unlike Western architecture that looks outward toward the street, a riad is oriented inward toward a central courtyard. This open-air space often features lush greenery, lemon trees, and reflecting pools, creating a quiet sanctuary that feels miles away from the vibrant energy of the medina just outside the walls.

Each room is uniquely situated around this central garden, offering a sense of intimacy and stillness that is truly unparalleled. Staying in a riad is not just about luxury; it is about experiencing the architectural soul of Morocco, where the "Grit" of the busy city streets is balanced by the "Grace" of the hidden oasis within.

In Morocco, the price of an item is often the start of a beautiful discussion. While boutique shops may have fixed pricing, the traditional markets rely on negotiation. It is a friendly, spirited dance of words. The merchant will begin with his highest price, and you are invited to respond with a lower offer. The goal is to reach a point where both parties feel a sense of satisfaction. We will be right there with you to ensure you feel confident navigating these exchanges with grace.

The Berbers, or the Amazigh, are the indigenous people of North Africa. The name Amazigh translates beautifully to "free people," a sentiment that is reflected in their resilient spirit and rich cultural heritage. They are the original architects of the mountain and desert landscapes we will explore. While Morocco is an Islamic country, the Berber influence provides a unique tapestry of dialects, traditions, and craftsmanship that is central to the Moroccan identity.

Morocco is a country of both modern fashion and deep tradition. To honour the local culture and move comfortably through the day, I recommend dressing with a sense of sophisticated modesty. Focus on loose, breathable fabrics like linen and cotton that cover the shoulders, chest, and knees. A beautiful silk scarf is a versatile companion for visiting sacred sites. Because the desert air can turn crisp at night, a light jacket or an elegant wrap is essential for our evenings under the stars. You will get a comprehensive packing list prior to your departure.

Moroccan food is an exquisite balance of sweet and savory, centered around local spices and fresh harvests. You will likely fall in love with the Tagine, a slow cooked masterpiece prepared in a clay vessel. Expect a bounty of vibrant salads, fresh flatbreads, and aromatic couscous. In many traditional settings, bread is used as your primary utensil, a tactile experience that connects you directly to the meal. While the flavors are complex and deep, Moroccan cuisine is generally not hot or spicy.

While Morocco is a Muslim country, it is also very cosmopolitan. Alcohol is available in many modern restaurants, liquor shops, and within the sanctuary of our selected riads and hotels. While we respect the local traditions of sobriety in public spaces, you will certainly have the opportunity to enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail as we toast to our adventures in the evenings.

Morocco is a culture built on the spirit of hospitality and the exchange of gratitude. Tipping is a significant part of the local economy, as many in the service industry rely on these gestures to support their families. In restaurants, a tip of ten percent is a thoughtful standard. For the exceptional guides and drivers who navigate our path, we suggest a daily contribution of approximately one hundred Dirhams. If you prefer, I am always happy to manage these gratuities on your behalf to keep your experience seamless and stress free.
