VERY IMPORTANT!
The support vehicle has limited luggage space. You are welcome to bring a larger suitcase or hard-case luggage to Morocco, as this can be safely stored at the hotel where the tour starts and finishes.
For the tour itself, we will provide each participant with a soft bag of approximately 50 liters, which will be carried on the support vehicle during the trip. We kindly ask you to pack light and only bring the essentials needed during the tour.
MAKE A LASTING IMPACT
We are proud members of Pack for a Purpose, an initiative that allows travelers like you to make a lasting impact on the community at your travel destination. If you save just a few kilos of space in your suitcase and bring supplies for area schools or medical clinics in need, you’ll make a priceless impact on the lives of our local children and families. Please visit the Pack for a Purpose website to see what supplies are needed for our project/projects. Have a look at the local project you could help support.
