Backpacking Morocco

How can I get in touch with my group leader?

Your group leader will email you around 1 - 2 weeks before the tour starts with a welcome message and more trip info.

Is my money protected?

Absolutely. Your payment is secure. Backpacking Tours is a licensed tour operator in Thailand (TAT Licence No. 11/12642), and we use trusted international payment providers. Your booking is safe, and our team is here to support you every step of the way.

Where do I update my arrival details?

Once you’ve booked your flights, log in to the Manage My Booking area of our website and enter your flight arrival details. If you’re arriving early, we can still arrange your airport transfer. If you also need extra nights of accommodation, let us know early so we can confirm availability and pricing.

Are flights included in the price?

International flights are not included in the price of any tour and will need to be booked separately. You’re free to book your own flights or book here.

Is travel insurance compulsory?

Yes! Travel insurance is a must for all our trips. You’ll need to show proof (on your phone or printed) to your group leader when you arrive.

How will I access money while I’m away?

We recommend using a Wise travel card. It works in most places and supports Apple Pay and Google Pay. ATMs are widely available, but some places may accept cash only, so it’s good to carry some local currency.

When will my booking be confirmed?

For group tours, your place will be confirmed when 6 or more people have signed up and at least four weeks (28 days) prior to the start of your tour.

For volunteer or private bookings, please wait 2-3 working days.

We will refund you the total amount if the tour is cancelled. Typically, group tours are confirmed six months before departure.

Can you cater for my dietary requirements on this trip?

Yes, we can cater for most dietary requirements. Please notify us prior to arriving on day 1 so we can arrange this for you.

Can I bring a suitcase on this trip & is there a luggage limit?

We would highly recommend bringing no more than 15kg on this trip, and bringing a backpack instead of a suitcase if you can. You won’t need to carry your luggage around during daily excursions, but you will need to transport your luggage between each accommodation so we recommend packing as lightly as possible.

Where should I fly into? Where do we spend the first night of the tour?

You can fly into Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK) which is an international airport.

In Marrakech, we will stay at Riad Luzia. The address is 19 Derb Touareg Ksibt Nhass Medina, Kasbah, 40000 Marrakech, Morocco. In an extremely unlikely event, this accommodation may be replaced with another similar option for your tour departure.

You will get an airport transfer included with your tour so no need to organise a pickup, this address might be handy to have as your first location on the ground in Morocco.
