faq for: 30 Day Morocco Explorer Tour from Casablanca

Good to know before you travel

Will this tour be private or shared with other travelers?

This is a 100% private tour, reserved exclusively for you, your family, or your group. You will travel in a comfortable private air-conditioned vehicle with your own English-speaking driver. No other travelers will join your tour, allowing you to enjoy Morocco at your own pace with complete privacy and comfort.

How will I recognize my driver at the airport?

Upon your arrival at Casablanca Airport, your driver will be waiting for you at the arrival exit gate, holding a sign with your full name. Once you meet, your driver will warmly welcome you, help with your luggage, and escort you to your comfortable vehicle to begin your tour.

How is our luggage handled throughout the 30-day tour?

Your luggage will remain safely with you throughout the 30-day tour. Your driver will assist with loading and unloading your bags at every hotel and desert camp. If you are staying in a riad inside the old Medina, where vehicles cannot enter, the driver will help arrange a local luggage porter to transport your bags to or from your accommodation, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience.

How do we carry our luggage when riding camels in the Sahara Desert?

You don’t need to carry your luggage during the camel ride. Your main luggage will be transported safely to the desert camp by a 4×4 vehicle provided by the desert camp, so you only need to bring a small backpack with your personal essentials. By the time you arrive, your luggage will already be waiting for you in your private tent.

Can I exchange or withdraw money in the Sahara Desert?

No. There are no banks or ATMs in the Sahara Desert. We recommend exchanging or withdrawing enough cash before arriving in Merzouga. If needed, simply ask your driver to stop at a bank or ATM in one of the towns along the route before reaching the desert. This will ensure you have everything you need during your stay.

Are vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free meals available?

Yes. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals can be arranged throughout the tour. Please let us know about your dietary requirements when booking, and we will inform the hotels, riads, and restaurants in advance to ensure suitable meal options are available for you.

Is this tour suitable for children and older travelers?

This 30 Day Morocco Explorer Tour from Casablanca is best suited for travelers who are comfortable with extended road travel and frequent hotel changes. While children and older travelers are welcome to join, we recommend considering their comfort, energy levels, and ability to enjoy a longer journey. The itinerary includes regular breaks for sightseeing, meals, and rest, and your private driver will happily adjust stops whenever possible to make the trip as comfortable as possible for everyone.

Can we pay to use public toilets in Morocco?

Yes. Many public toilets in Morocco charge a small fee, usually between 2 and 5 Moroccan Dirhams (MAD). We recommend carrying a few small coins for convenience.

Are there stops for photos, toilets, and refreshments during the tour?

Yes. Your comfort is our priority throughout the journey. Your driver will make regular stops for scenic photo opportunities, toilet breaks, refreshments, meals, and short rest stops. If you need to stop at any time, simply let your driver know a few minutes in advance whenever possible. This allows the driver to plan a stop at a clean, comfortable, and safe service station with good facilities. We are always happy to make additional stops along the way to ensure you enjoy a relaxed and comfortable travel experience.

Is it safe to walk at night in the morocco medinas without a local guide?

Yes. Morocco’s medinas are generally safe, lively, and welcoming, especially in the evening when many locals and visitors are out enjoying the cafés, restaurants, and markets. However, because the streets can be narrow and easy to get lost in, we recommend using our local guides if you plan to explore an unfamiliar medina at night. If you prefer to explore on your own, simply follow the main streets, and ask your driver for advice about the best areas to visit.
