As part of our dedication to responsible tourism, we’re thrilled to introduce our "Give Back" initiative, an integral aspect of our commitment to positively impact communities during your journey through Morocco. We proudly endorse the admirable efforts of Ennajah Association and Chabab Time, two non-profit organizations devoted to uplifting Moroccan society.

Meanwhile, Chabab Time, with operations spanning across Morocco from Rabat, actively promotes youth involvement in public affairs. Moreover, we encourage our travelers to contribute to our giving efforts by donating items such as medications, clothes, or other essentials. Additionally, we may extend our support to a local Berber school by providing supplies and small toys, bringing joy and making a tangible impact on children’s lives. We believe in offering you the chance to make a meaningful difference, nurturing genuine connections, and ensuring your visit leaves a positive imprint. As you bid farewell, you’ll carry with you cherished mementos of your adventure – carpets, Argan oil, lanterns, and treasured memories – but more significantly, you’ll leave behind a lasting legacy of support and solidarity for the communities you’ve had the privilege to touch.

Insurance

We offer transportation insurance as part of our services to ensure a secure journey for our customers. However, it’s essential to note that comprehensive travel insurance is not included in our packages. We strongly advise all travelers to arrange their own travel insurance policies to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances and provide additional peace of mind throughout their trip.

Meals

As part of our commitment to providing a memorable experience, we offer our customers a daily breakfast served at their accommodation. For dinner, we provide a unique dining experience under the stars in the serene settings of the desert and Dades Gorges, as well as in the enchanting surroundings of Zagora and Fint Oasis. However, in bustling cities like Marrakech and Essaouira, we offer our guests the flexibility to choose their dining venues from a plethora of options available, though we are happy to offer recommendations upon request. For those seeking an authentic taste of Moroccan cuisine, we also arrange home-cooked meals, providing an opportunity to savor traditional dishes prepared with love by local families, enriching the cultural tapestry of your journey.
