Whether you are traveling as a couple or with a child, we have selected a selection of character stages suitable for all and in harmony with the spirit of the trip. From intimate guesthouses in the heart of palm groves and kasbahs in Skoura and Zagora, at the bivouac in the middle of the Chegaga dunes, the highlight of the trip! On arrival at the scene, images of films or accounts of explorers from past centuries appear. A central tent serves as a restaurant and common lounge and four rooms are planted around, where comfort has not been forgotten. On the floor of straw mats, a bed of white wrought iron, all enhanced by a color chart of soft hues. Here, the nights are wrapped in the silence of the desert ... To end the trip, we unearthed in Ouarzazate a traditional dar with crazy charm, between the walls of a historic building in the city.

On the program - Visit of Skoura and its palm grove in private. Nicknamed "the oasis of a thousand palm trees", the Skoura palm grove is hidden behind the bricks of an ancient fortress. This is where the desert caravans left their cargo of gold and spices after long journeys. In addition to its palm trees, Skoura is famous for its apple, almond, walnut, pomegranate and fig trees, irrigated by small canals between which grow wheat and alfalfa. We explore it in the company of a private guide, as well as the city which is also worth visiting for its beautiful kasbahs. The most famous, Amerhidil, even adorned the old 50 dirham notes. To see, to do - Taste the animation of the souks - ride a bike in the alleys - spin to the gorges of Todra, in the Valley of the Roses or the Dades Valley.

The currency of Morocco is the dirham (MAD), with bank notes found in the denominations of MAD 200, 100, 50 and 20 and coins issued in smaller values. While every traveller's spending habits may differ slightly, we have estimated the average daily expenses to help with budgeting for your next trip. Here you'll find the average cost for a meal or drink and advice for best practice in tipping.
Tipping is not compulsary, but is encouraged for good service in Morocco. The general rule of thumb is to tip 5~10% in restaurants or to private services such as porters. Your guide and driver would also appreciate this kind of gratitude at the end of your tour. For Taxi Drivers, typically rounding up the fare for convenience is recommended, as well as at market stalls.
Morocco is home to some of the oldest retail cultures in the world, meaning there's no shortage of souqs waiting to be explored. Haggling in Morocco is expected and welcomed. You'll notice prices are not often listed on items in the souqs, so evaluate what you're willing to pay and come prepared to bargain with the shopkeeper - it's all part of the fun!
Moroccan leather is highly unique and the centuries-old tanning techniques are still practiced across the country today. The most famous tannery is Chouara Tanner of Fez, making it the perfect place to purchase quality, hand-crafted leather goods including slippers, bags, jackets, belts and wallets. Prices for leather goods start at approximately 10 USD.
Berber rugs and carpets are traditionally the craftwork of nomadic women from the Middle Atlas region and date back to the 2nd century BC. They are made from virgin wool from the sheep and can be found in souqs across Marrakech in all shades, sizes and shapes. Rug shopowners will encourage you into their store with the offer of tea, but feel no obligation to buy. Rug prices may range from 50 to 1,000+ USD.
Used by the local Amazigh people for its healing properties, Argan Oil is immensly popular in Morocco. It is common to see women sitting on the front step of beauty shops crushing the kerns of the argan tree into paste, which is sold cosmetically for its healing properties to skin and hair. The regions surrounding Essauira and Agadir are the only places in the world where the specific tree grows. In this region you can purchase a quality 150ml bottle of the oil for approximately 20 USD.
