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.

Kathryn (Katie) planned an amazing trip for us with a variety of new, and wonderful experiences: A walking food and history tour, An amazing sailboat cruise from Santorini which included a greek dinner, prepared on the boat, a gorgeous sunset, and fireworks, and A guided tour of Museums and the Parthenon. All of the accommodations were clean and centrally located. I would definitely travel with Katie again

We traveled to Greece and stayed in Athens, Milos and Santorini. All of our hotels were very accommodating and comfortable. Teavel between our 3 locations and all tours had been prearranged, always on time and very comfortable . Katie and our guides went over and above to make sure we had a great time. I felt very comfortable on this trip and enjoyed my overseas trip.

What an absolutely wonderful trip to Morocco! I cannot express how amazing this country was to experience firsthand. Never Lost Travel and Katie Fitts took exemplary care of us and we had the tour of a lifetime. We stayed in beautiful riads, rode camels, ate delicious food, shopped in the souks and stayed at a luxurious desert camp. Our local guides were informative and so conscientious! I’ve never felt sad leaving a country before, but I can tell you that last day of Morocco left me a little heartbroken. I plan to go back in the near future.

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!

So glad you had a great time and look forward to having you on a future trip!
