Important notes

1. You can make the locals feel good about you by not taking photos of the holy and most revered people. Always ask permission to take photos of people. They may not agree. Cover your shoulders, knees, and hair, even if it is hot. Do not shake hands with anyone or eat with the left hand. This is the hand you use to wipe your bottom.
2. If you don’t want to share a room, a single supplement is available. You will not be able to use shared accommodation on Day 2 (Mountain Gite), or Days 3,4 (Surf Camp). There are a limited number of single supplement options available for each trip departure. For more information on single supplements and availability, please contact your booking agent.
3. In the culture of Moroccan tourism, it is common to receive kickbacks or commissions for recommending certain shops, services, or activities. Intrepid created a system that allows you to select the most enjoyable shopping experiences and activities, based on feedback from previous travelers. This is in an effort to monitor and control shopping and activities. These activities may be included in included walking tours, or free of charge. If you don’t feel like shopping, we will let you know. Your group leader will work with you to find a substitute.
Intrepid has set up a central system for receiving payments from these recommended vendors. These funds are then distributed to local Responsible Travel projects (such’say no plastic’ cotton bags and drinking water refilling stations), traveler information packets, and leader bonuses. Your group leader can provide more information about these arrangements upon request.
Intrepid will do everything possible to ensure these suppliers and services are of reasonable quality. However, Intrepid recommends suppliers based on past travellers feedback and experiences. Intrepid cannot guarantee the quality of the product. The fund’s goal is to ensure that you, the traveler, have a great experience. If we have achieved this goal, please let us know by leaving feedback after your trip.
