Generally, expect to depart your home gateway in the afternoon or evening on Day 1. All overnight flights from the US to Africa will arrive mid-morning to early afternoon on Day 2.

Worried about jetlag, delayed flights, or just want more time to explore, we strongly encourage extending your stay to arrive early or stay late. This way you can settle in without the stress of missing anything.

When you arrive in Morocco, you'll head through baggage claim and customs before being greeted by your Tour Director. They'll set a designated place for you to meet as the trip gets closer. For travelers who booked flights through Ultimate Break, you'll then be transported to your first accommodation to freshen up before the Welcome Dinner. 

Your Tour Director is with you during your entire trip. They're part logistics master, making sure you get to see all that we have planned; part rockstar, sharing with your local hotspots; and part guru, sharing and inviting you into the culture. Our Tour Directors are fully trained and ready to support you in making your journey safe, seamless, and unforgettable!

In some locations you will be met by a local guide who will lead you through our traveler-inspired walking tour. You'll get some local history and culture while also making sure you hit the photo stops. You'll walk away with an insider's perspective and some great pictures.

On Plus tours, you will be in a room with one other traveler unless a single room upgrade is purchased. Roommates are assigned randomly based on gender unless a specific roommate is requested in advance. You can do this at the time of booking or in your online account up to 60 days before departure.

Morocco is considered safe for travelers, but like any destination, it's important to stay aware of your surroundings and follow basic safety guidelines. Pickpocketing can occur, especially in crowded areas or tourist hotspots. Keep your belongings secure and be cautious with strangers offering unsolicited help or deals.  

Here are a few additional points:

• Health and Safety: Talking with your healthcare provider about any vaccinations or medication you may want to consider. Here are some additional tips for traveling with medication and traveling with allergies.
• International Data Plan: In the event you need to get in touch with your Tour Director or Ultimate Break while abroad, it’s important to invest in an international data plan. Call your cell phone provider to understand their plans or look into purchasing a sim card.
• Transportation Safety: When getting a taxi, make sure to agree on a price before getting in. At the end of a night out, use trusted transportation like a licensed taxi, Uber of Uber like service, and always have cash on hand.
• Nightlife: As with anywhere in the world, watch your drink, and avoid excessive alcohol consumption.

Female travelers in Morocco may face treatment different from what they are used to back home:

• Though local women tend to dress conservatively, this is not expected of foreigners and many travelers dress as they normally would back home. That being said, there are travelers who say dressing more conservatively helps draw less attention and made them feel more comfortable, so it's not a bad idea to pack some conservative clothing items to have on hand just in case.
• It’s common to be catcalled in Morocco. Years of feedback and advice tell us that it’s best to ignore the calls and keep walking forward.
• If you do find yourself receiving unwanted attention, staying in a group is one of the best deterrents.

This is your classic sightseeing tour. Think lots of walking and taking in all the sites. On these tours, be prepared to:

• Walk a minimum of 10k steps per day (more if you add excursions)
• Use public transportation
• Climb on and off a motor coach unassisted
• Manage your own luggage (including carrying luggage upstairs if there is no elevator)
• Climb occasional stairs, hills and navigate various terrains (think cobblestones) to different sites
• Stand for periods of time during guided commentary and photo stops

For Essential Tours: Be able to climb a ladder for bunk beds (if applicable)

Excursions are available for purchase at a discounted rate prior to departure. Some excursions may be available for purchase while you are on tour directly through your mobile app but are subject to availability and will be more expensive.
