What is appropriate to wear in Morocco’s smaller villages and in the Sahara Desert?
Morocco is a conservative and religious country, which means you always need to be mindful of your clothing choices. This is especially true in the country’s more rural areas, which include the Sahara Desert and its surrounding villages. As a general rule of thumb, you should always attempt to cover body parts considered “private”. For women, this means covering the arms (or at least the shoulders) and the knees up. For men, it requires covering up the shoulders and above the knee.

Every little thing was taken care of. My partner and I are very impressed with the amazing guides who got the balance between explanation and privacy right and their kind hearts. We will never forget this trip. I sincerely booking via this company. I was a bit worried paying the deposit via PayPal because I thought: what if it’s not as good as every review on trip advisor says it is? But honestly, don’t doubt. Most amazing company and guides.

I did the above tour on Sunday 20 November. Everything about the tour was first class. Booking was really easy and all my e-mails with questions were answered very promptly. The transfer process from my hotel to Imil was really smooth too with no waiting.
I was really impressed with my guide Rashid as he knew the mountain very well and was really friendly. It was great to chat with some of his friends as we walked through his village as well. All the food I had, which was included in the price, was delicious and hearty - exactly what was needed to get to the summit. The tour itself was simply breath taking with all the unfolding scenery as the trek goes on. Staying in the mountain hut was good because you can chat with other trekkers and getting to the summit gives a real sense of achievement.
I would strongly recommend this tour company to anyone as they were very reliable, friendly and delivered on all their commitments.
