• Closed Shoes: Essential for all tours involving walking (Ouzoud, Imlil, Ait Ben Haddou). Avoid flip-flops; wear sneakers or sturdy walking shoes.

• Layers: Crucial for Imlil and Agafay. The mountains and desert get very cool, especially in the mornings and evenings. Always bring a jacket or fleece.

• Modesty: When visiting local villages (Ourika, Imlil), it is respectful to wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees.

• Sun Protection: Always bring sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen.

Inclusions vary by package, but generally:

• Included: Transport (round-trip), and usually the services of a local guide (especially for Imlil and Ouzoud), and breakfast (Hot Air Balloon) or dinner (Agafay Sunset).

• Excluded: Meals (except where noted), drinks, and gratuities (tipping is customary).

• Optional Activities: Specific add-ons like the mule ride (Imlil), the boat ride (Ouzoud), and quad biking (Agafay) are generally not included in the base price and must be paid for locally.

All shared day trips (Ouzoud, Essaouira, Imlil, Agafay, etc.) typically require a minimum of 2 people to guarantee departure. Individual travelers can often book, but the tour operator may cancel or reschedule if the overall minimum is not met.
