On this trip you can expect to stay in local hotels, desert camps, and a traditional Riad, which vary a little in standard and facilities: some may not have elevators, air-conditioning, showers or English-speaking staff, but most importantly all are locally-run, with some traditional character, and in excellent central locations to give you maximum time for exploring the sights.



Please note that Morocco is a developing country and as such the infrastructure is not as reliable as you would expect at home. Expect quirky plumbing and the odd cold shower.



This itinerary includes one night at a developed desert camp that includes a restaurant, toilet facilities, and simple showers, and one night at a simple camp with pop-up tents with portable toilets and no access to showers. For three nights we will be staying in Riads which are traditional Moroccan houses that typically include indoor gardens or courtyards and showcase Moroccan architecture.
