  • J

    Jerry

    Asked on March 27th, 2026

    My Aunt may come on the tour as well. Would we be sharing a room with other people and if so, how many?

    Accommodation
    Group size
    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten March 2026

      Yes, you and your Aunt can join us, and we will provide a twin room (room with 2 separate beds), with option to add another girl with you and have a triple room.

  • C

    Carmen

    Asked on March 17th, 2026

    What size luggage am I able to bring? I wanted to bring a checked bag-sized luggage, is that possible? I was also thinking of taking a ferry from Spain to Morocco, how would that work and would I be able to do it?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten March 2026

      We have got plenty of space in the trunks of our minibuses, so you are absolutely welcome to bring checked bag-sized luggage with you throughout the trip.

      As for the ferry. You can take the ferry from Tarifa in Spain to Tangier in Morocco, and from there you have two options to reach Marrakesh where our group student trip begins:
      1. You can either take a forty five minute flight from Tangier to Marrakesh (by Rayanair)
      2. There's a six hour train option that stops at Rabat (the capital) and Casablanca before reaching Marrakech, and you can switch from train to another one in case you want to stop by these cities to explore, otherwise you can go directly to Marrakech (2 hours fast train from Tanger to Casablanca + 4 hours normal train from Casablanca to Marrakech).

      Once you arrive in Marrakesh, you will join the group and we will all travel together from there.

      The group trip starts at 8AM every morning.

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      Yes, no problem at all, if you arrive at 2:00am on May 12th, we can still pick you up directly from the airport and start the May 12–16 tour.

      Yes, sandboarding in the dunes is included in the package.

    Do you need to be a student to do this tour? I have now graduated and I am 24 and work full time as a content creator. I will be travelling solo and was hoping to meet other young people.

    Age Range
    Group size
    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      You don't need to be a student to join. We mention students mainly because of the itinerary and package style. At 24, you are within the age range of the group and are very welcome to join. Many travelers join solo and meet other young people.

    Asked on January 31st, 2026

    I'm booking a flight and it gets there at 7am, will you guys have the hotel room ready by then?

    Accommodation
    Flights / Transfers
    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      Check-in officially starts at noon, so the room won't be guaranteed ready at 7:00 AM. However, if you arrive earlier, then you can start the trip right away.
      Could you please let us know your exact departure time so we can plan accordingly?

  • C

    Cynthia

    Asked on January 2nd, 2026

    We ( us 2 ladies ) will need an extra night of Riad or Hotel as we have the flight next day (Day 5 ). What is Name of hotel ? About how far (distance / time ) from RAK Airport?

    Accommodation
    Flights / Transfers
    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      Unfortunately, we don't have availability for an extra night at the riad or hotel for that date.

      If you prefer, you can book a hotel on your own near Marrakech Airport. The airport is about 10–15 minutes by car from the city center, depending on traffic.

    Tour Details
    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten December 2025

      Unfortunately, this is a last minute request, and since you would be traveling alone (1 person), we were not able to confirm the tour for December 21 to 25. Availability changed quickly as those dates filled up.

    Rose

    Asked on March 25th, 2025

    Is there any way we could add two guests to the tour from april 3rd to april 7th for the 5-day Marrakech and Sahara experience (student package). There are only 2 of us and we are both study abroad students and want to be safe, and this is the only tour that has been recommended to us.

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten March 2025

      Yes, you and your friend can join the April 3rd departure. We're happy to have you on board! Once you are ready to proceed with your booking, please click on "Book Now" on the left side of the page.

      Rose

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      if we arrive on thursday (april 3rd) at night, that would be our start day correct? because the program picks us up from the airport and takes us to the hotel? and then our flight leaves monday (april 7th), so the program would drop us off at the airport for our flight?

    Molly

    Asked on February 17th, 2025

    My friend and I are studying abroad in Rome, Italy, and are college students. We want to do a trip to the Sahara; however, we want to make sure we are with a big group of other students. If we booked this trip just the two of us, would we be with other study abroad students on the trip/in the included hotel?

    Accommodation
    Group size
    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten February 2025

      Yes, if you and your friend book this trip, we will place you in a group with other study abroad students. This way, you'll be traveling with like minded students, making the experience even more fun and social. The included accommodations will also be shared with fellow students.

    • M

      Molly

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      Do you have any details on the hotel/riad we would all be staying in? Also, would a guide be with us from the airport back until we are dropped off?

    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten February 2025

      The guide will be with the group from the moment you are picked up at the airport until departure, ensuring everything runs smoothly.

    Joy

    Asked on January 21st, 2025

    I was wondering if there will be additional dates for student trips in March or April. Or of there are similar trips that have dates in march or april.

    Tour Details
    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      We're happy to let you know that this tour has daily departures, so you're welcome to join whenever you want. As a solo student traveler, you'll share a room with another student of the same gender (twin or triple room).
