If you seek an escape that is as enriching as it is exhilarating, this Marrakech adventure is for you. Join us for a journey that promises not just a holiday, but a grand, multifaceted experience that will captivate your senses and heart.

We offer two accommodation options to suit your travel style and comfort needs:

1. Single Occupancy Rooms: If you treasure privacy, are a light sleeper, or have specific sleep-related preferences, this is the ideal choice for you. Our single rooms provide a tranquil, personal environment, typically featuring a queen or king-size bed. This option is particularly recommended for those who may be sensitive to noises like snoring, or who prefer not to be disturbed.

2. Double Occupancy Rooms: This budget-friendly option allows travelers to share a room with another trip participant. We always aim for rooms with two twin or queen beds. However, due to varying global hotel standards, we cannot guarantee the availability of two separate beds in every location. There is a possibility of needing to share a bed. We emphasize that if you have concerns about sharing sleeping space, particularly if you are a light sleeper or have specific needs or sensitivities, it's advisable to choose a single room or upgrade your booking promptly. This ensures we can accommodate your request for an additional room, as we are unable to make changes to rooming arrangements during the trip.

To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable journey, please select your accommodation type based on your personal comfort requirements and sleeping habits. Our aim is to provide a memorable and hassle-free travel experience for all our guests!

Who is This Trip Not For?

Travelers with Reduced Mobility: Given the moderate to high levels of walking involved, especially through the uneven and bustling streets of the Medina, this trip may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility or who require wheelchair accessibility.

Seekers of a Relaxed, Slow-Paced Holiday: If your ideal vacation involves minimal physical activity and a more laid-back, leisurely pace, this active and adventure-filled itinerary in Marrakech might not align with your preferences.

Budget-Conscious Travelers: As the trip features luxury accommodations and exclusive experiences like afternoon tea at the Royal Mansour, it may not fit the budget of travelers seeking a more economical travel experience.

Travelers Seeking Solitude: This trip, with its social and group-oriented activities, may not be ideal for those who prefer solitary travel experiences or who are looking for a retreat-style vacation.

Minimalist or Off-the-Beaten-Path Travelers: If your travel style leans towards minimalist, rugged, or off-the-beaten-path experiences, the luxurious and structured nature of this trip might not meet your expectations.

Travelers Uninterested in Cultural Exploration: This journey is deeply rooted in cultural experiences, including historical tours and visits to local cooperatives. If your interests do not include cultural immersion or historical exploration, this trip may not be as engaging for you.

Those Preferring Modern Cityscapes: The focus on historical sites and traditional Moroccan settings might not appeal to travelers who prefer modern cityscapes or urban-centric vacations.

In summary, this trip to Marrakech is tailored for those who enjoy a mix of luxury, culture, active exploration, and culinary experiences. It's less suited for travelers with mobility issues, those looking for a relaxed or budget-friendly holiday, solitude seekers, minimalist adventurers, or those who prefer modern, urban environments over historical and cultural explorations.

The Importance of Tipping  

In Countries like this, tipping is more than just a gesture of appreciation; it's a crucial support to the local economy and a meaningful way to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of those who help make our trip memorable. The service staff, from drivers to restaurant servers, often go above and beyond to ensure we have an exceptional experience.  Many locals depend on tourism for their livelihood, tips can significantly impact their well-being and ability to support their families.  

Understanding this, we have established a collective tipping system to ensure fair and generous compensation for the services we receive. On the first day of our trip, we will collect a total of USD 225 from each participant. This amount is carefully calculated to cover all tipping needs throughout the week, including drivers, baggage handlers, , guides, and restaurant servers/staff etc .  

This approach has several benefits:

1. Fair Distribution: It ensures that all service providers are fairly and adequately compensated for their efforts.    

2. Convenience for Travelers: You won't have to worry about carrying change or figuring out the appropriate amount to tip for different services.    

3. Solidarity and Support: It reflects our group's solidarity and support for the local community, recognizing the importance of their contributions to our travel experience.

By pooling our tips in this manner, we not only simplify the process for our guests but also make a meaningful contribution to the local economy. It's a way of saying 'thank you' and giving back to the people who work tirelessly to make our stay in Rwanda a truly remarkable and unforgettable experience.
