Destination: Morocco

The North African Kingdom of Morocco is often described as a gateway : step through and discover a world of colour, diversity and wonder, unlike anything you have experienced before. Rich traditions and heritage are very much alive here, but there is a paradoxical youthfulness to the culture, and a warmth that will draw you further and further in. Get lost in the myriad of cobbled alleyways, or feel small within the red sands of the desert, or at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. There is something for every traveller in Morocco.

Touring Morocco

The need to know

Getting around

Odyssey travels by coach and occasionally uses local transport, including trains and ferries. Specifics are always outlined in your tour itinerary. Morocco has a centralised and impressively extensive rail network — the best in Africa. It links most major centres, is reasonably priced, and is generally preferable to bus travel. The network is operated by the Office National des Chemins de Fer (ONCF). Casablanca and Rabat are also serviced by modern trams, with plans to extend into Marrakech. Petit taxis are readily available for short-distance travel within main cities.

Accommodation

In major cities, Odyssey stays in centrally located 3-4 star hotels, with easy access to public transport. In smaller towns or rural areas, we usually stay in family-run hotels or guesthouses. On our longstay tours, during which you spend the length of the tour in a single location, we use serviced apartments.

Tour guides

In major cities, Odyssey stays in centrally located 3-4 star hotels, with easy access to public transport. In smaller towns or rural areas, we usually stay in family-run hotels or guesthouses.

Health & Safety

As of writing, smarttraveller.gov recommends exercising a high degree of caution when travelling in Morocco. It’s always best to check the latest details before setting out on a trip. Certain parts of Morocco should be avoided for the time being, particularly toward the south and south-east near the Western Sahara. There are risks associated with specific areas, and it is important to take these into consideration when planning your trip. But countries like Morocco rely heavily on tourism, and refusing travel can be detrimental to a struggling economy. Stay apprised of government recommendations for Morocco in order to be best prepared for your trip.

Electrical Supply

Whenever you travel overseas, it’s always wise to take an appropriate travel adaptor. Plugs in Morocco have two round pins, of types C and E. Voltage is 127V, 220V and 50 Hz. Make sure to pick up the right adaptor before your trip.

The best of Morocco

Step back in time in the historic city of Fez, one of the holiest cities in the Islamic world.

In the vibrant capital Marrakech are bazaars where snake handlers and storytellers provide exotic and memorable entertainment.

Tangier, Europe’s gateway to Africa, has been a haven for artists and writers over the centuries, drawn to its hotbed of culture.

Egypt tour: escorted small group history & cultural tour of Egypt

This was a fascinating program and the support was outstanding

A tour beyond expectation. Egypt has so much to offer from the past and Odyssey did a fantastic job.

This tour was excellent, encompassing not only historical Egypt but also introducing us to modern Egypt. The varied travel by bus, small cruise ship and air, contributed to our interest and enjoyment. The extremely high quality of our tour leader, the Egyptologist and the local guide enhanced our knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of this tour.

Both cruise ships exceeded our expectations for cleanliness and quality of service.

Mal was a wonderful Program leader. She would be the best tour leader we have ever experienced. Her obvious experience and her calm demeanor contributed greatly to the cohesiveness of our group which, in turn, contributed to our enjoyment.

THE TRIP WAS FANTASTIC.

What is the time zone?

Morocco is on Western European Time (WET), or UTC+0. The nation observes Daylight Savings Time (Western European Summer Time or WEST), making it UTC+1.

Is tipping customary in Morocco?

If you’re on an Odyssey tour, we take care of tipping so you don’t need to give it a second thought. However, in your free time, or if travelling independently, it’s essential that you tip an appropriate amount for services. There is no general rule for tipping in Morocco, so to some extent, it is discretionary. Upmarket restaurants may include gratuities in your bill, so be sure to check this before leaving an additional tip. It is always a good idea to tip hotel staff and drivers.

What is the internet access like in Morocco?

Internet is easily accessible, and most hotels and many cafes will be able to offer it.

Can I use my mobile/cell phone while in Morocco?

Check with your cell phone provider to see whether you’re able to make calls and use data while in Morocco. Many providers will allow you to pay a daily fee that allows you to make calls and check the internet while only being charged your regular rates. However, be certain to inform your provider that you’re heading overseas, because just like a bank they can turn off your service as a result of unusual activity.

Responsible travel tips for Morocco

• Learn at least the local greetings to break the ice. Although many locals speak English, the more you know of the native language, the greater your experience of the country will be.
• Carry a business card in your wallet or purse from your local hotel, to assist you with the return journey if you do become lost.
• Always ensure that you are covered by travel insurance. If you need advice on this feel free to contact Odyssey and we’ll be able to help.
• When travelling independently, make sure you check the opening hours of shops and museums so that you don’t miss out! Museums and galleries are often closed on Mondays. Also be certain to check whether your trip coincides with any public holidays, so you can plan accordingly.
• Consider contacting your bank to inform them that you may be making purchases overseas. Otherwise, they may flag any activity on your account as suspicious. Also, check which ATMs and banks are compatible with your cards, to ensure you can withdraw cash with minimal fees.
• Before departing, make sure you have a number of Moroccan dirham in a range of denominations. You don’t want to be carrying around enormous amounts of cash, but take enough to make it easy to pay in locations that might not accept credit card. It will also help you avoid card transaction fees, and it makes tipping a breeze.

Ali was an incredible guide and I would thoroughly recommend booking with Morocco Joy Travel. We travelled with our 2 kids (8 &9) and Ali made it such a wonderful adventure for our family. He was so warm and kind, knowledgeable and thoughtful. We opted for the luxury accommodation and it surpassed our expectations. There was a lot of driving but the vehicle was very comfortable and Ali was so knowledgeable and a pleasure to tour with. We are left with wonderful memories of sunsets, fossil digging, sand dune exploring, camel riding, drum playing, spectacular scenery, delicious meals…thank you Ali…we cannot wait to visit again!

Great service, coordination and arrangement Friendly drivers and tour guides specially Hamza (Driver) and Tarikh(tour guide) Amazing country with friendly and welcoming people

Our journey in Morocco was fantastic. The tour took us to many interesting places, making the trip enchanting. Surprisingly, even though the daily travels were longer than we thought, it didn't make us enjoy the trip any less. Maybe if we think about different places to stay and eat, it could make the experience better. We noticed that the quality and prices for tourists varied. Still, these small things didn't take away from the good memories of our journey.

Best Morocco Tours for Seniors

Best Morocco Tours for Seniors: For many travelers of a certain age, Morocco has a special appeal. At this stage in a traveler’s life, the bustling boulevards of Paris and the sunny beaches of Hawaii are quiet, almost dull. Morocco, on the other hand, is something different, alive and vibrant and full of new sights, sounds and smells to experience. Of course, it helps that Morocco has its own boulevards and sunny beaches . But what’s it like to travel to Morocco for this age group? It’s a good question with no easy answer. Over the past twelve years, Villa Jardin Nomade has helped travelers of all ages, backgrounds and abilities discover this country at their leisure. Here’s what we’ve learned:

SENIOR TRAVEL IN MOROCCO: CULTURE:

Morocco is a country that still has a deep respect for its elders. This also applies to visitors from other countries. Well-traveled, adventurous travelers of a certain age will feel right at home in Morocco, especially in small towns and villages. The culture of Moroccan towns is much like that of the city, with many people rushing to get anywhere fast, especially in the newer parts of town. In the older parts of town, the medinas, you’ll feel a lot of this “small-town Moroccan” cultural engagement.

SENIOR TRAVEL IN MOROCCO: MEDICATION:

If you are taking medication or supplements, be sure to bring enough for the duration of your stay. It’s a good idea to budget for an extra 3 days in case of delays at the airport. It goes without saying that you cannot guarantee prescriptions filled during your stay in Morocco.

However, it can also be extremely useful to know the French equivalent of generic (non-branded) medication before you arrive. Coupled with your doctor’s prescription, you can probably find your medication or supplement in a local pharmacy, or inform a doctor if you need to. You should also talk to your doctor about your trip and any dietary restrictions you should be aware of. For example, if you’re taking an ACE inhibitor, you’ll want to stay away from bananas.

TRAVEL TO MOROCCO: OTHER HEALTH PROBLEMS:

Most visitors to Morocco are seriously concerned about traveler’s diarrhea. It helps to stick to fully cooked foods, especially salads.

Otherwise, take care to protect yourself from the sun. You’ll want to apply generous doses of sunscreen, even on days when the sun is less bright, especially if you’re in the mountains. “Morocco is a cold country with a hot sun,” is a common statement”. Fitted shirts to cover your arms and a hat will do wonders.

SENIOR TRAVEL IN MOROCCO: MOBILITY PROBLEMS:

Morocco is not a wheelchair-friendly country. It lacks much of the infrastructure required for people with reduced mobility. It really is a country to be experienced on your own two feet, whether through the High Atlas . Whether you’re wondering about the medieval medina of Fes or visiting your local riad. If you have any difficulties with mobility, be sure to note this with your arrival. We’ll be able to describe the experiences you can have, whatever the challenges you face, with expert advice on everything from accommodation to how to get around the old towns.

SENIOR TRAVEL IN MOROCCO: GENERAL SAFETY:

Morocco is safer than any North American city. There’s a distinct lack of armed violence of any kind. In the big cities, you may find yourself more of a target for pickpockets and purse snatchers. So make sure you keep your important documents on your body. It’s a good tip to leave the sign on your hotel door to “do not disturb”. This can keep potential intruders away from your hotel room. Other than this kind of theft (and notoriously bad drivers), you have nothing to worry about.

Tips for Senior Travelers in Morocco

Moroccans as a whole greatly respect the contributions and wisdom of society's elders, but unfortunately that consideration doesn't necessarily translate into automatic deferential treatment of senior tourists. While senior travelers on an organized tour will be treated with respect and patience, traveling by public transport produces very little of either when it comes to finding a seat. There are no special discounts offered to senior travelers in Morocco, apart from fare reductions offered by some ferry companies plying the route to/from Spain.

Seniors should also pay particular attention to the daytime temperatures during summertime.

Members of AARP, 601 E St. NW, Washington, DC 20049 (tel. 888/687-2277; www.aarp.org), get discounts on hotels, airfares, and car rentals. AARP offers members a wide range of benefits, including AARP The Magazine and a monthly newsletter. Anyone over 50 can join.

Many reliable agencies and organizations target the 50-plus market. Elderhostel (tel. 800/454-5768; www.elderhostel.org) arranges worldwide study programs for those aged 55 and over, including an escorted tour to Morocco. ElderTreks (tel. 800/741-7956 or 416/558-5000 outside North America; www.eldertreks.com) offers small-group tours to off-the-beaten-path or adventure-travel locations, including Morocco, restricted to travelers 50 and older.

Recommended publications offering travel resources and discounts for seniors include the quarterly magazine Travel 50 & Beyond (www.travel50andbeyond.com) and the best-selling paperback Unbelievably Good Deals and Great Adventures That You Absolutely Can't Get Unless You're Over 50 2005-2006 (McGraw-Hill), by Joann Rattner Heilman.

Traveling the trails of southern Morocco in a 4 x 4 Land Rover offers a unique holiday filled with adventure. At this time in our history it is important that we learn about Islam and the Muslim way of life. Morocco remains a safe place to do so.

The Berbers converted to Islam in the 8th century, but Arabic still remains their second language. As farmers, as well as nomads, they continue to live in the mountains and desert of southern Morocco in a lifestyle remarkably unchanged through the years.

We embark from Marrakech with a small group of 15 travelers from the United Kingdom, Sweden, Australia, Italy, and New Zealand for some days of rugged travel.

Rising at dawn, the drivers load the luggage on the roofs of the Land Rovers and everyone scrambles aboard. Leaving city life behind, we head into the high Atlas Mountains and Tizi n’Tichka pass with a stop for snowball fights before descending to the oasis of the Draa Valley, the date capital of the world and the gateway to the Sahara Desert.

Visiting Berber Villages

A day is spent in Zagora visiting the 17th century Islamic sanctuary of Amazrmu and watching the ancient method of making the famous filigree jewelry. Then with much reluctance we begin to learn the art of bargaining and haggling over a price to buy a bracelet or necklace. It is a raucous morning with everyone trying to get the best price before we move on to another village known for its pottery and tangines.

The day ends beneath the desert sky at a nomadic Berber enclave with camel rides and hikes up the Tinfou sand dunes to gaze in awe as the sunset. The wind ruffles the tents under a full moon with robed men serving dinner as we sit on pillows in the traditional style. The night ends with the drivers forming an improvised drumming and singing group dancing around the campfire.

After a sunrise hike up the mountain, we set out on a rugged path across the gravel desert for the town of Tata. There are lots of photo ops with camels and nomadic people emerging out of the vast openness, short hikes, and delicious mandarin oranges that we eat by the dozens. After settling for the evening at the hotel, we all rush into town to replenish our water bottles and grab snacks of fruit for the days ahead.

As the journey continues we travel into the Anti-Atlas Mountains through canyons where women wash clothes in a stream and olive trees dot the landscape. Onward we bump over high barren plateaus with Kasbahs (fortified villages and citadels) nestled in valleys and on hilltops and stops for mint tea and picnics amid the Argane trees. After marveling at the goats in the trees eating nuts, Ali, our guide, explains the labor-intensive process that the women use to make the expensive Argane oil of the region.

Arriving at the town of Tafarout we visit a carpet shop before crawling up a mountain road with impossible switchbacks and spectacular vistas to reach our retreat amid the Berbers of Tagudichte. It is a quiet time to regroup in the solitude and serenity of a distant place. The drivers wash their clothes and prove proficient at cooking as we trek to mountain peaks or visit houses in the village. Some people drift off for conversations about the Islamic beliefs and traditions of these friendly people.

Leaving behind the pastoral life we head for the ocean and the cosmopolitan seaside city of Essaouria with its fishing harbor and Portuguese fort. After watching the fishermen unload the day’s catch most of us head for one of the many cafes along the boardwalk to sample the fish of the day. Then it’s off to the market inside the old walls for gifts to take home. Veerle of Sweden stocks up on wool caps while Nancy of Australia shops for leather goods. Theona, the solicitor, decides to read in the park and enjoy the ocean sunset; Ruhan, the futures trader, and Michelle, the legal editor, head off to sample the local wine.

The bustling city life of Essaouria reminds us of our imminent return to our own stress-filled lives. We climb aboard our Land Rovers for the final trek across the Sahara and head for the souks of Marrakech. Haggling over prices at the Marrakech market is serious business but a leisurely stroll through the mint bazaar is a tantalizing delight.

The long flight back to Texas allows time for reflection on the uniqueness of this Adventure Center holiday. Most Americans take holidays with large bus tour groups and luxury cruise liners. The worldwide Adventure Center takes small groups to places rarely visited by others with expert local guides who are considerate and knowledgeable. This was my second Adventure Center trip. Others on the holiday had taken as many as nine trips, and this certainly won’t be my last.
