Dress Code
In Morocco, it's best to wear clothes that cover your shoulders and knees. Dressing modestly not only shows respect for local customs but also encourages respectful interactions with the local community. Dressing in layers is recommended, temperatures can vary in different places. Casual evening wear is recommended and comfortable shoes for sightseeing.
Important Information
Please note A reasonable level of fitness/mobility is required for sightseeing. There is a lot of travelling and some early starts.
Gratuities
There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. In order to give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below. Your Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection to cover drivers, porters and hotel staff of 555 MAD. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate add on.
