I am a 62 year old solo female traveller and wondered if the Highlights of Morrocco or Best or Morocco is more advisable. what is the difference. Are these luxury hotels?

Both the Highlights of Morocco and Best of Morocco itineraries are great options. The itineraries differ in length, so that could be a reason to choose one or the other. Neither itineraries will have luxury hotels, but the accommodations will be comfortable and work to create a seamless itinerary. If you would prefer a more luxury stay, we have our Upgraded trips. There are two options in Morocco - Upgraded - Discover Morocco (9 days) Upgraded - Discover Morocco & the Atlantic Coast (12 days). You can search both trips on TourRadar and look over the itineraries. They will have the hotels named so you can take a look to see if they are to your liking!

may I know if the hotel level is 3 stars ? The camp room without bathroom? How much to pay once upgrade to luxury camp with individual bathroom?

We do not offer any customizations for our tours so we would not be able to offer any upgrades to the accommodation. We choose our accommodation based on location, quality, and traditional style to give you a real taste of life in the country. During this trip, we'll spend one night camping in the desert. The tents are very spacious, with amble space to walk around, each tent has full size twin share beds, blankets, towels, and pillows are all provided. There is a USB port to charge mobile phones and a light. The camp has a communal bathroom set behind the camp with WC's.

Does that include 4WD ride pls. Any hiking? Physical level required? How to request for single room

The trip includes the 4WD ride. This is one of our cultural trip so not extrememely strenuous. On day 8 there can be a hike: There are two hiking options, a circular walk which is 10km in length and a hike to a viewpoint at Abdelali and back which is 6km. We usually undertake the 10km hike, however the route is exposed to the elements, so depending on the weather, we might opt for the shorter option. The trek begins in the middle of the narrow gorge following the main road before joining a small mule path going up gradually along a ravine. The path climbs about 500m to a small pass with views looking down the gorge and the Jebel Sahro range. The descent is 550m and is again on a rocky, narrow path that can be steep in some sections. The trek is considered as moderate-to-challenging and in high temperatures it can be more demanding. Walking boots with ankle support are essential. If you don't fancy the hike, you might like to explore the gorge valley floor, following the path of the river, or take in the scenery from one of the nearby cafes. You can add the single supplement then.

I have a group of women that want to go to Morocco. I have taken small groups to Morocco before. Would you be able to assist me in this trip in September 2024?

We organise small group holidays for customers. Our Average groups can be 11; solos, couples and friends, united by a desire for authentic experiences.

Can you please confirm the following: 1. What will the weather be like? 2. Anything special to pack? 3. Any info I should know before booking? 4. My fight back will be from Casablanca, can you arrange a car to take from Marakesh after the tour? What will be the drive time and average taxi/bus cost?

I'm afraid we can arrange a transfer to Marrakesh only but I can ask our product team for the information about transport logistic between Marrakesh a Casablanca for you.
