MOROCCO TIPS<br />

• Don’t overschedule: allow for some downtime<br />

• Leave your passport and valuables at the hotel<br />

• Consider private vs group tours<br />

• Visit during shoulder season (April to May and<br />

September to November) when it’s<br />

less crowded<br />

• Carry small cash for tips and bathrooms<br />

• Vendors expect to bargain, never pay<br />

full price<br />

• Expect lots of driving to attractions<br />

outside of Marrakech<br />

• Beware of locals who offer to guide<br />

you through the souks<br />

• Respect local customs and cover legs<br />

and shoulders<br />

• Emirates or Qatar Airways are recommended,<br />

as is a day or two stopover in Dubai or Doha<br />

to break up the trip. (Ricci flew into Madrid and<br />

spent a week in Costa del Sol, booking a<br />

regional carrier for return flights to Marrakech.)<br />
