Here are the most FAQs for the 3 days tour from Fes to Marrakech.
There are no strict rules about dressing. Morocco is deemed an open and liberal country, due to its proximity to Europe. Therefore, dressing for foreigners has not to be a big issue. However, it is important to note that the majority of Moroccan people are conservative, and do not approve of seeing foreign guests wearing inappropriate clothes which may break public norms. It doesn’t mean you should wear like the locals, but particularly, women have to respect the general clothing norms, which are covering the knees and breasts and avoiding tight or transparent outfits.
“Berber Planet” ensures high security and care to its customers. If you are a sole woman traveling to Morocco, you will have nothing to worry about. We devote special attention to foreign women during the tour, especially if they are traveling alone. It can be a serious matter if she is coming to Morocco without being involved with a tour company because solo women are often treated badly if they are not accompanied by a trusted guide. Hence, our staff will treat you well along the road and ensure you are not irritated under any circumstances.
Absolutely yes, if you have children and are willing to visit Morocco, you needn’t leave them babysitting, you’d better bring them to discover something extraordinary. This decision can be challenging for you to bear extra burdens when it comes to providing care to your children, but little kids like to amuse themselves and enjoy traveling like adults. Besides, their Morocco experience will remain a lifetime journey for them to broaden their mind till they grow up mature.
In a word, delicious. Salads are lovely; fresh, succulent vegetables are served with light vinaigrette on the side. Harira is the Moroccan word for thick vegetable soup. A particularly delicious one contains a bread dumpling. Main courses are usually one of the following: grilled meat on skewers often served with French fries; couscous, either vegetarian or meat with vegetables, and Tajin, the Moroccan stew, usually meat, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and spices.
Moroccan cooks use a melange of spices such as cumin, turmeric, paprika, saffron, and pepper for a subtly flavored cuisine. In the Sahara, you can find “Berber pizza”. This is a double-crusted pie filled with meat, hard-boiled eggs, almonds and spices. Sometimes rather peppery, “Berber pizza” is best eaten with glass after glass of hot, sweet, mint tea.
Every seaport has freshly caught fish prepared by the fishermen on or near the piers. Do not miss this treat! Fresh fruit is served for dessert; pomegranates, melons, bananas, apples, oranges, and dates all produced in Morocco and all bursting with flavor. One ongoing benefit of the French occupation is the fresh baguettes available nearly everywhere. Pastries both French and Moroccan are available in many bakeries.
