This trip includes long driving days between cities. You will spend several hours on the road, especially when traveling from Fes to the desert.

The weather in Morocco changes by region. Mountains can be cold, the desert is hot during the day and cold at night, so it is best to bring layered clothes.

Comfortable shoes are important because you will walk in old medinas, gorges, and sandy areas in the desert.

Cash is useful in many places, especially in small towns and local markets where cards are not always accepted.

Internet connection can be weak in remote areas like the Sahara of Merzouga, so it is good to plan ahead.

You will visit traditional and historic sites such as Ait Ben Haddou, so modest clothing is recommended.

Camel rides and desert camp stays are included in the experience, but alternative transport like 4×4 is often available if needed.
