Cities of Morocco budget tour

People

In Morocco, we visit a couple of carefully selected local shops during most tours, where travellers can learn about the way the locals produce and use Argan Oil, saffron, rose-water, leather, or metalwork. All products sold in these shops are sourced from the surrounding local communities.

We use only Moroccan guides, as we feel they can provide both historical information and more insight into modern day Morocco and culture than international tour leaders. Most hotels used are locally owned, including the desert camps we use at Erg Chebbi.

To provide a more in depth experience of Moroccan culture, we take time to explore many of the towns and cities included on the tour by foot. This not only reduces our carbon impact but also allows us to explore local towns more and interact with the local population. By exploring on foot it does also allow us to make stops in local restaurants and shops where money spent helps to contribute towards the local economy.

We also try to consider the social and cultural aspects of the local community and how to respect the customs and traditions of its inhabitants. Our tour notes will provide advance information on dress codes and particular local customs, and our guides will expand on this in their explanations during the tour. This means we can create valuable and rewarding opportunities for our travellers and allow local people to mingle and exchange ideas and thoughts without causing any unintended offence.
