The hiking on this trip is considered moderate. Our longest hike is about 5 miles with an 900-foot climb and has short sections of light rock scrambling. We’ll have multiple guides to accommodate different paces, and there are always options to shorten or sit out an activity if needed.

Good hiking boots are recommended, and hiking poles are suggested for the hike in Todra Gorge due to loose gravel on the path. Please note that hiking poles are not permitted in carry-on luggage — if you bring them, be sure to pack them in your checked bag.

Deposit & Payment Please see full schedule listed on We Travel when you register.

Morocco is a gorgeous, large country with limited transportation infrastructure, so driving is part of the adventure—especially to reach the Sahara Desert. On this trip, there are three days with significant driving. Two days are about 5 hours and one drive is around 9 hours (not including stops and barring unusual delays). Our private bus is very comfortable, with spacious seating, and we make multiple stops along the way for breaks, meals, and adventure. On the day of the longest drive, we stop at a beautiful kasbah hotel for a memorable lunch by the gardens. The ever-changing landscapes—mountains, valleys, desert plains—make the journey itself part of the experience, and all past guests have found it well worth the travel to reach the desert. This itinerary has been tested many times and we believe this gives us the best experience.

You’ll also stay in multiple hotels and riads throughout the trip. This allows us to experience Morocco’s diverse regions and landscapes more fully, while still enjoying hand-picked accommodations that balance comfort, beauty, and authenticity.

If you’re looking for a trip that stays in one place, this may not be the right fit. But if you’re excited to experience the true diversity of Morocco—from vibrant cities to mountain valleys to golden desert dunes—this one has it all.

The places we stay are an important part of the experience. I personally hand-pick unique, stunning riads, boutique hotels, and retreats that reflect Morocco’s culture, luxury, and sense of adventure.

Because these properties are intimate, with a limited number of rooms, the rooms themselves vary in size, layout, and bed type. Some are larger or more luxurious than others. Rooms are assigned in the order of registration, so signing up early gives you priority. Occasionally a hotel may make a switch or adjustment on their end, which is normal for small properties. No matter where you stay within each hotel, the rooms are all lovely and consistently enjoyed.

A small number of room upgrades may be available at our desert hotel and at our second Marrakesh hotel. If one is still open when you register, you’ll see the option in your registration page.

This journey both begins and ends in Marrakesh. (RAK). Because our trips require a minimum number of guests to run, please wait to book flights until you’ve received confirmation from LH Adventure Travel that the trip is confirmed—typically no later than 90 days before departure.

There are no internal flights on this itinerary. All transfers between destinations are arranged for the group and included in the trip package. The trip officially begins on Day 1 around 1:00 pm, and our riad is located approximately 30 minutes from Marrakesh airport. The trip ends after breakfast on the final day.

If you’d like to arrive a day early, just let us know. We have a few rooms on hold at our hotel the night before the trip begins, or we can recommend another wonderful hotel. And as always, please feel free to reach out with any questions about flights.

A packing list will be provided to all participants. Since we’ll be changing hotels and moving around, we recommend a 24-inch suitcase and a carry-on. Be sure to pack a foldable bag for any shopping along the way. We'll go over all the details together before the trip!

The official currency of Morocco is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD) – consisting of:

• Coins: 1, 2, 5, and 10 dirhams

• Notes: 20, 50, 100, and 200 dirhams

The US Dollar (USD) and Euro (EUR) are widely recognized but not typically used for everyday purchases. Most hotels, riads, and tour operators quote prices in Euros or Dollars, but local shops, restaurants, and markets expect payment in dirhams.

Currency can be exchanged at banks, official exchange offices, and some hotels. ATMs are widely available in cities and towns and accept both Visa and MasterCard. You can withdraw dirhams directly from an ATM, usually with daily limits set by your bank. As always, it’s best to alert your bank and credit card companies before traveling to avoid blocked transactions.

Credit cards are accepted at most hotels, higher-end restaurants, and larger shops, but smaller vendors and markets (souks) are almost always cash-only. It is best to carry a mix of dirhams in both small and larger notes for flexibility.

Please note that Moroccan Dirhams are a closed currency: you cannot exchange them outside Morocco, and you should plan to use or exchange any remaining cash before leaving the country.

Electricity in Morocco runs at 220 volts AC, 50 Hz. The primary socket types are Type C and Type E (the standard European round two-pin plugs). If your devices use a different plug type, you’ll need a universal travel adaptor.

In cities and larger towns, the power supply is generally reliable, though occasional outages can happen. Voltage fluctuations are uncommon but possible, so if you’re bringing sensitive electronics, a surge protector may be useful.

Most hotels, riads, and guesthouses provide electricity around the clock, and sockets for charging are available in guest rooms. In more remote areas, particularly small desert camps, power may be supplied by generators or solar energy and may only be available during certain hours of the day.

Internet is widely available in hotels, riads, and cafés throughout the cities, though speeds and reliability can vary. In rural areas, access may be limited or slower — part of the adventure of being off the beaten path.

Prices are based on current exchange rates. For reference, the Euro–USD rate was 1:1.19 on February 10, 2026 and the Moroccan Dirham–USD rate was 0.11 on February 10, 2026. These serve as the baseline for trip pricing.

As a small business, I absorb normal currency fluctuations (up to about 8%). In the rare event of a larger shift, any necessary adjustment would be shared fairly between us and kept as minimal as possible. Full details are outlined in the Terms & Conditions and in the waiver you’ll sign at registration.

There is a minimum of three couples and a maximum of six couples in the group (plus the hosts). If sold out, you can be placed on a waiting list.

If you’re interested in sharing a room, I’m happy to connect you with another guest who is also looking for a roommate, when possible. While I can’t guarantee a match, I’ll facilitate introductions so you can decide together if it feels like a good fit.

If you’re registering on your own, you’ll initially sign up for a single room. If you later find a roommate, your registration and pricing will be adjusted. If a roommate match doesn’t work out, you’ll remain in the single room, subject to availability.

If having a single room is essential for you, please reach out before registering so we can confirm availability.

Please wait to purchase non-refundable airfare until you receive an email confirming that the trip has reached the minimum number of participants and is officially running.

Trips are typically confirmed once the minimum number of guests has registered, or no later than 90 days before departure for international trips and 60 days before departure for domestic trips.

If you prefer to book flights earlier, we recommend choosing tickets that are refundable or easily changeable.

Yes. All guests are required to carry their own travel insurance policy that includes medical coverage and emergency evacuation.

It is generally advisable to choose a policy with substantial coverage for both medical expenses and evacuation. Many policies provide $50,000–$100,000 in medical coverage and $250,000–$500,000 for emergency evacuation, but you should confirm what level of coverage is appropriate for your situation.

If your trip includes high-altitude hiking (such as Peru or Bhutan), you may want a policy that covers hiking at higher elevations. When purchasing insurance, it can be helpful to call the provider directly to confirm altitude limits and activity exclusions so there are no surprises.

Some travelers choose to purchase Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) coverage for greater flexibility. If you have pre-existing medical conditions or are considering CFAR coverage, many policies require the insurance to be purchased shortly after your initial trip deposit in order for those benefits to apply.

Insurance policies vary widely, so please review the details carefully and confirm coverage directly with your insurance provider. LH Adventure Travel does not provide insurance and is not responsible for individual insurance decisions.

If helpful, a link to Squaremouth, a travel insurance comparison site, is provided at checkout for guests who wish to explore policy options. LH Adventure Travel may receive a small affiliate commission if you choose to purchase through that link, at no additional cost to you

All payments made to LH Adventure Travel are non-refundable. If you need to cancel your participation for any reason, payments cannot be refunded.

If your cancellation is covered under your travel insurance policy, you may submit a claim directly to your insurance provider. LH Adventure Travel will provide any documentation required to support an insurance claim.

Our small-group adventures require a minimum number of guests to operate (typically about 6 participants). If a trip must be cancelled because the minimum number of guests has not been reached, you will have the option to:

• convert the trip into a private departure if possible (with adjusted pricing), or

• receive a full refund of payments made to LH Adventure Travel.

In the unlikely event that travel cannot occur due to circumstances beyond our control — such as natural disasters, government restrictions, political unrest, disease outbreaks, or other unforeseen events — LH Adventure Travel will work with local partners to recover as much of the trip cost as possible. Because many services are prepaid to local operators, refunds depend on the policies of those partners. Any funds recovered will be returned to guests or applied as a credit toward a future LH Adventure Travel trip, valid for one year.

We recommend checking with your travel insurance provider to understand which situations may be covered under your policy.

LH Adventure Travel is not responsible for additional expenses incurred by guests, including airfare, travel insurance, or other travel arrangements.

This itinerary has been thoughtfully crafted to offer a rich and meaningful experience. However, details—including activities, accommodations, and team members—may be adjusted based on group preferences and the discretion of the tour operator to ensure the best possible trip.

Your safety and wellbeing are our top priority. We work closely with trusted local partners in each country who know the culture, terrain, and logistics inside and out. If there are ever concerns about security, weather, or local conditions, the itinerary may be adjusted to ensure the group’s comfort and safety.

For added security, we require each guest to upload a copy of their travel insurance policy prior to the trip.

We also recommend enrolling in the U.S. State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) before departure. This free service allows you to receive important updates about your destination and helps the embassy contact you in case of an emergency. You can sign up here: STEP Program
