Discretion is advised for LGBTQI+ travellers as homosexual acts (including kissing) are illegal in the country, and carry a potential jail term and/or a fine. For travellers, visiting Morocco should not be a problem as long as you use discretion and avoid public displays of affection. Please kindly inform us when booking if you do not identify with the gender stated in your passport. We will strive to adjust the room configuration accordingly. For travelers who do not want to share a room, most tours have a single supplement option.
F.A.Q.
Are airport transfers included and how do I arrange them?
All tours starting in Marrakech include arrival airport transfer if your flight lands in Marrakech on the first day of your tour between 5am and 11:59pm or if you have booked pre-accommodation with us, Airport Transfers. You must inform our call centre or info@traveltalktours.com of your flight details (date of flight, flight number, arrival time and name of travelers) at least 2 weeks prior to your departure date. If you do not receive confirmation that your pick-up is arranged, please contact us. You will be picked up by a Travel Talk representative holding a Travel Talk sign at the airport. For tours ending in Marrakech, there is only one return shuttle to the airport on the last day of the tour between 05:00 and 15:00. Departure transfer is not available with post-accommodation in Morocco.
F.A.Q.
Where is the welcome meeting on day 1 of my tour?
The welcome meeting will be held in the hotel lobby around 6-7pm with your group and guide. You can find the arrival information for Morocco tours here. If there is any change in your arrival hotel, we will send you an e-mail to inform you before the trip. Don't worry if you will miss the welcome meeting on Day 1 as some travellers arrive late in the day - just make sure to let us know in advance.
F.A.Q.
Can I book pre or post tour accommodation?
Depending on the dates and hotel availability, we may be able to arrange pre/post-tour accommodation in Marrakech. Pre-accommodation includes breakfast & airport transfer. Post-accommodation includes only breakfast. You can book pre/post-accommodation during the booking process online, or by contacting us.
F.A.Q.
Do you have solo travellers on your tours?
Solo travellers often join our tours to meet and travel with like-minded adventurers, forming longstanding friendships. We also strive to provide a relaxed and sociable tour experience to allow the group to weld throughout the journey. Solo travellers will be roomed with another solo traveller of the same gender, or can upgrade to a solo room by paying the single supplement.
F.A.Q.
I’m a solo passenger, do I need to pay single supplement?
There are always solo travelers on our tours. If you don’t mind being roomed with another single traveler of the same gender, you do not need to pay the supplement. Single supplement is for travelers who would like to stay in a single room for the duration of their tour. Please note that the single supplement is not available on feluccas.
F.A.Q.
Can I be roomed with my friends?
Please contact us with your request & we will do our best to arrange your room accordingly. info@traveltalktours.com 0208 099 9596
F.A.Q.
Do you arrange flights?
Our tours do not include airfare to/from the destination, and we do not advise on, ticket or sell flights. It is your responsibility to make it to the starting point of your tour on time.
F.A.Q.
Will my dietary requirements be catered for?
If you provide your dietary requirements at the time of booking, we will do our best to make the necessary arrangements where available. You can leave a comment under the "Notes" section when making an online booking or simply contact us. Please note that gluten-free & vegan options are quite limited in the country.
F.A.Q.
What currency should I bring?
The Moroccan Dirham (MAD) is the local currency. Although you can pay with USD/EUR/GBP in some places, you’ll always get a better deal paying in the local currency. You can get MAD from ATM's using your debit card or travel card — withdrawing cash on credit card is less favourable. Visa and MasterCard are commonly accepted at tourist sites and large cities, however may not be accepted in rural areas or smaller shops. Avoid changing the bulk of your money at the airport as the exchange rates are usually more favorable in the city. Your tour leader will be pleased to help if you need any assistance.
F.A.Q.
Is there any luggage restriction?
Good news, there isn’t any luggage restriction on our tours as long as you’re able to carry your own luggage - usually just for a very short distance. If your tour includes camping in the Sahara, we would recommend to also bring a small bag. This will allow you to leave your luggage on the bus and take your smaller bag while staying at the camp.
F.A.Q.
Do I need to tip?
Tipping service staff is common in Morocco - typically around 10% for a restaurant meal. It is also standard to round up the fare or the bill, and to tip taxi drivers and porters around 10 MAD. Your tour guide and crew would be especially appreciative and honored with this kind of traditional gratitude at the end of your tour.
F.A.Q.
What if I join the tour late?
You can join a tour late or miss the Welcome Meeting on Day 1 if you inform us prior to the departure date. Please note that it will be your responsibility to make the necessary arrangements to catch up with the group. Please contact us at info@traveltalktours.com or +44 208 099 9596. For all emergencies, you can contact +44 208 099 7536.
F.A.Q.
Will my tour be affected if I travel during Ramadan?
Ramadan (Ramazan) is the Islamic holy month, during which Muslims fast from sunrise until sunset. Fasting means 'nil by mouth' including food, water and cigarettes. Ramadan dates move every year, please see below the dates for 2021 and 2022. Some local cafes and restaurants close during the day; however tourists are not expected to fast, and there are many cafes and restaurants that stay open to cater for you. During Ramadan, you are encouraged to show your respect by not walking around in public eating, chewing gum, smoking or drinking (especially alcohol). It is fine to do so in your hotel or in a cafe/restaurant recommended by your tour leader. Your tour leader will organise lunches and dinners to make Ramadan easier for you. During the month you will find that tourist sites often close early to allow staff to return home in time to break their fast, and shops often open late and close early.
    Ramadan Dates:
  • 12 April – 11 May 2021
  • 2 April – 1 May 2022

Should I bring sleeping bag for the tours with camping accommodation?
It is not required to bring a sleeping bag for Sahara camping as we provide beds, covers and blankets at our sedentary camps.
