TRAVEL INSURANCE:

Your trip is a BIG investment. If you cannot afford to lose the money you have invested to travel, for whatever reason, we strongly recommend you consider travel insurance. We encourage you to do your due diligence by researching and finding the best plan for YOU.

​

Suggested Travel Insurance companies are below. Ensure you inquire about a “Cancel For Any Reason” plan. Proof of iinsurance will be required or you will have to sign a waiver release form.

 

Travel Style:

Moderate

This is a relatively active trip due to the level of walking involved in exploring the cities. We will also be spending a few hours in the car as distances between the main cities are long.

 

You should be mobile and fit enough to walk leisurely for 3-4 hours on most days and take more than 10,000 steps per day when we visit cities on walking tours (eg. Casablanca / Rabat, Fez, Marrakech). There will also be a generous amount of stairs, both in the riads we will eat and stay at as well as in some of the towns and medinas.

Our trip manager Majid was always smiling and going above and beyond to make us happy. Punctual, organized and super friendly, he definitely made a great impact on our trip. The trip was well planned and we did so much! All was well thought out and scheduled. Our guides very friendly and showed us their city with pride and knowledge. Morocco it self is a beautiful country full of colors, nature and culture. We had a wonderful experience.

Constance A.

Experience Morocco was just a phenomenal and life changing 11 days of my life! Amal and Iman knocked it out of the park, with the selected Riads, cooking and pottery class. My only wish is that my 11 day experience was longer. I have traveled extensively through out the United States and Western Europe, never have I had an experience like Morocco. A+ and then some!

Wendy L.

We had a great time in Morocco. Our guide Kamal was amazing! He was always accessible, able to easily pivot if we wanted to change or tweak our itinerary and had vast knowledge about he history of Morocco. We loved the city of Marrakesh and the day trips to to the Atlas Mountains and Agafay desert. We highly recommend Experience Morocco and Kamal.
