Is this trip right for you?
- The Sahara Camp is on the edge of the desert. In 2019, the Moroccan government put measures in place to improve the safety, quality and impact of desert camps, which means that camping inside the Erg Chebbi dunes is no longer possible.
- Several days include a great deal of time spent on your feet, particularly Day 5 (Fes) and Day 9 (M'Goun Valley). A moderate level of fitness and comfortable walking shoes will ensure you get the most out of your trip.
- As a desert country, Morocco can have extreme weather. Please consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season. Refer to the 'Climate and seasonal information' section of the Essential Trip Information for more details.
- Morocco has a tipping culture and travellers are expected to tip small amounts for most services. Your trip leader and the Money Matters section of the Essential Trip Information can assist you with this.
- Although you shouldn't expect any aggressive selling techniques in Morocco, it's common to be approached by shop owners and street vendors offering their goods.
- We've sourced our accommodation very carefully and picked the best possible hotels in line with the Intrepid style of travel, but please note that service and accommodation in Morocco may differ from standards at home.
- Ramadan is an annual month-long festival, during which travel can be a rewarding cultural experience. However, some regular services may not be available during the day, such as restaurants or cafes, and occasionally travel can be disrupted by events. Your

Norway Uncovered
A truly wonderful experience with just a few minor issues that prevented a full 5-star rating. Our guide Abdul was exceptional and the itinerary covered all the highlights. The food was consistently excellent and accommodation was generally good. However, the desert camp facilities were more basic than advertised and our group size of 16 felt a bit too large at times, especially in the medinas.

The tour had great potential but was somewhat inconsistent. The highlights were definitely the cultural experiences and our knowledgeable guide. However, some accommodations didn't meet expectations, particularly in Fes where we experienced plumbing issues. The food was good but repetitive after a while. Would have appreciated more free time to explore independently.
