      FAQ

      What's the pace of this trip?


      This is a moderately paced trip. Please keep in mind, there is a significant amount of driving on this tour.  I have done my best to slow the pace down so as to not spend all our time in a bus! I want you to be able to enjoy your tour walking around the beautiful areas! But alas, driving is the best way to get around to see Morocco as well as keep prices more reasonable. We have listed the driving times in the day by day itinerary.


      When should I get my flights?


      I suggest getting flights anywhere from 3-6 months ahead of time. We have to have a minimum of 8 people to book the trip, so please CHECK WITH ME PRIOR TO BOOKING YOUR FLIGHT.  I will send a reminder when we have a confirmed trip to go ahead and book your flights!


      **Keep in mind this is a multi-city flight. You will need to fly INTO Rabat Morocco (RBA Rabat-Salé Airport) and fly OUT of Marakkech (RAK - Marrakesh Menara Airport ). If you need help booking your flights, please reach out, I can help! ***


      What's should I wear?


      Morocco is a Muslim country that is relatively relaxed, but you'll still draw lot of unpleasant and unwanted attention if you choose to go out in revealing clothing. Choose to wear something that covers your knees and shoulders and doesn't reveal too much bare chest when you are out in

      public.  Bring comfortable walking shoes, a sweater, clothes you can layer and an all-weather jacket. It may get quite cold in some areas we visit, so if you tend to be cold, make sure you bring warm clothes.


      Can I drink the water?


      Do NOT drink the water/brush your teeth with the water  in Morocco. Plan to drink bottled/filtered water for your trip. For these occasions, I suggest getting a prophylactic antibiotic from your doctor for "traveler's diarrhea".


      What immunizations do I need to get?

      Routine immunizations are recommended such as measles, mumps, flu, tetanus. Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B is also recommended if you have not had these prior. COVID of course is recommended as well.  A more unusual one would be the typhoid vaccine.  Please refer to the CDC website and your primary doctor's discretion. 


      What currency do they use?

      Local currency is the Moroccan Dirham (Dirhams)

      The dirham is a closed currency, and you can only obtain it once in Morocco, and it should not be taken out of the country. Changing it - or spending it - once you've gone through airport security is next to impossible, so be sure to spend your dirham before getting to the airport.

      Credit cards can be used in hotels, major restaurants, and shops, but not in many other places. There are ATMs now in most of the major towns that will accept Cirrus debit cards and credit cards for cash advances, and money can be changed at the main bank branches.

      ATMs are hard to find in the medinas.

      This was a bucket list trip for me, and it was the most amazing trip I’ve ever been on! Thank you for putting it all together and making a dream come true! Diane

      I didn't really know what to expect going into this trip. I've never been a huge fan of tours. However I was absolutely blown away. 13 people who got along seamlessly. Sitting around drinking wine, singing bad 80s songs on busses, and making amazing memories. The trip was flawless. Yasser was unlike any tour guide. His knowledge and passion for his country and history was something yo admire. He also cared about everyone one of our stories. He went above and beyond. From buying us snacks because he knew we had a long bis ride. To sitting up late answering all our questions when he was obviously exhausted and would have been much easier to just go to bed This really was just an incredible trip! Highly recommend. If this was Katie's first trip, I look forward to traveling with her group any time!

      This was absolutely the trip of a lifetime. Each day was thoughtfully planned and if there were any changes that needed to be made both Yasser and Katie worked hard to adjust. All the food and accommodations were wonderful. The hot air balloon, Red Sea snorkeling/ocean adventures and the desert safari/ Bedouin village excursions shouldn’t be missed. Yasser was an informative, knowledgeable guide and I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. Katie thoughtfully put this trip together for maximum enjoyment! I will absolutely take another trip with Never Lost Travel!

      Kudos to Never Lost Travel, Katie Fitts and Yasser Omer for my best travel experience. My trip to Egypt provided new experiences, incredible sights and insight to this beautiful culture and ancient country. Our tour guide, Yasser, was vastly knowledgeable on each site we visited and answered questions with ease. The hotel and transportation accommodations, delicious food and excusions were beyond expectation. Never Lost Travel assured worryfree travel at each step and having made new great friends, I know this will be the first of many adventures with them.
