Modern Adventure takes the health and safety of our employees, guests, and partners very seriously. Our health and safety protocols during your trip such as physical distancing, masking and other safety practices will be in accordance with up-to-date local regulations in your destination. You will be informed of any specific protocols aheads of travel, and in-destination by our local guides and/or Modern Adventure trip leader.

Our accommodations offer Wi-Fi, and we recommend using Wi-Fi supported apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime or Skype as an alternative to making calls from your mobile phone. For American travelers, many phone providers have temporary international travel plans, check with your provider for options.

In Morocco, the power grid runs at 220 volts (in the U.S. it's 120 volts), so you'll need an adaptor for you electronics and appliances.

Travelers from the U.S. also need plug converters: In Morocco the sockets are Type C/F (two round pins) and Type F (two round pins plus a third grounding pin).

If your destination requires proof of a COVID-19 vaccination and/or negative test result taken within 72 hours of travel, you will be required to confirm that you are fully vaccinated with an authorized COVID-19 vaccine, and/or have tested negative for COVID-19, and have the required documentation to prove it. Otherwise you will be ineligible to participate on the trip, and ineligible for a refund.

If you are on prescription medication, you should ask your doctor for a letter detailing your condition and prescribed drugs. This prevents possible issues at customs and helps the local doctor if you need to buy medication while traveling. If you wear prescription glasses or contact lenses, we recommend you bring an extra pair and a copy of the prescription in case of emergency.

March is an ideal time to visit Morocco. In Marrakech the daily highs average in the mid-70sF, and evening and morning temperatures cool to around 50F. In Fes, the daily highs average in the low 70s, with overnight lows in the high 50s. Both cities experience minimal rainfall in March, so you can expect plenty of sunshine.

Casual clothing is appropriate for most of our time together. Layering is the best option for the daily temperature changes and types of activities on our trip. We recommend bringing casual short and long sleeve layers (lightweight tees, shirts, pants, dresses, and shorts). Comfortable walking shoes are essential—sneakers, sandals, sport sandals or open-toed shoes, usually flat. We do suggest bringing a light jacket and a raincoat, just in case.

We will have two evenings and one afternoon to dine on our own. If you want to make reservations at an upscale restaurant, you may want to bring a dressy option, too.

Additional items we recommend you to bring:

• Hat (to protect yourself from the sun)

• Sunscreen

• Sunglasses

• Sandals or flip-flops

• Sturdy walking shoes

• Bathing suit

• Phone charger

• Headphones

• Travel pillow

• Ear plugs

US citizens are not required to have a visa for tourist visits to Morocco for visits less than 90 days, however are required to show a valid US passport. It is recommended that your passport is valid for six months after your travels are over.

We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance. Travel insurance allows you to seek reimbursement for your trip costs; if your trip plans change for unforeseeable reasons, or if you need to get medical help, emergency transport, and for theft, loss or damage of items while traveling.

For best coverage, always insure the full trip cost within two weeks of your initial trip deposit and note that most 'Cancel For Any Reason' policies must be purchased on the date of your initial deposit.

While Modern Adventure does not recommend any policy specifically, we encourage you to compare benefits and options, a few of which are listed below. We recommend that any plan you select includes trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage, at minimum.

• Allianz

• Travelex

• IMG Global

• Squaremouth

In Morocco the local currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD or dh), worth roughly 9 MAD to US$1.

There are numerous ATMs in Marrakech and Fes to access your bank back home. Some restaurants and shops accept credit cards; however you will want some dirham notes when traveling outside of the main cities.

We curate your Modern Adventure to ensure all experiences are immersive and included in your trip price. We recommend bringing enough money with you for a few meals on your own, as well as any souvenirs or local arts and crafts you might like to bring back with you. If you're eating out on your own, tips of 10% to 15% are sometimes included in the bill, though tipping an additional 5% to 10% in restaurants is common (leave the tip on the table in cash, or else staff will likely not receive your tip). No tip is expected for small purchases such as coffee or a beverage.

Most gratuities and tips are included in our trip price. Please note that tipping your Modern Adventure guide is at your discretion; to show your appreciation for good service, we recommend tipping each guide US$70 - $150 per guest.
