Marrakech and desert camping with the family

Before your departure, check with the embassy or consulate regarding the entry and stay requirements for your destination country. You can also find this information on the France Diplomatie website ( https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/dossiers-pays/ ).

In the case of flights with stopovers operated by different airlines, also check the entry requirements of the countries you are transiting through.

It is your responsibility to ensure you are in compliance, particularly regarding the validity of your identity documents (for example, some countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months after your return) , visa requirements, necessary vaccinations, and health recommendations. And don't forget to consider any customs restrictions and other potential requirements of your destination or transit country.

ℹ️ Information may change up to the departure date, remember to regularly check official websites.

Group camping equipment and both group and individual cooking equipment are provided by us.

• Sleeping bag: comfortable, adapted to your size, rather mummy-shaped (closer to the body and with a hood that closes) with a side zip closure for opening at your convenience.
  

It is necessary to adapt your sleeping bag to the temperatures encountered, determined according to your travel dates and the region visited. We advise you to choose a sleeping bag that is comfortable at 10°C below the lowest average temperature you will encounter (for example, if you are traveling in December (see Climate), you need a sleeping bag that is comfortable at: 2 - 10 = -8°C).

A sleeping bag that's comfortable at -10°C will also be comfortable at 0 or 10°C; simply open it to allow air to circulate inside. Conversely, if you already have a sleeping bag that's comfortable at 0°C, for example, a fleece sleeping bag liner will make it about 5 or 6 degrees warmer.

Clothing, from head to toe:

• Walking shoes: For this circuit in southern Morocco, low hiking shoes are more than sufficient and you will be more comfortable than in high-top shoes.
  
• Tennis shoes or walking sandals: they are very comfortable to put on during stops in towns, villages or in the evening at the campsite, but they must be taken in addition to the closed shoes mentioned above.
  
• Socks: light for the day and warm for the evening.

For the coldest evenings in the heart of winter (December and February), you will also need:

• Warm and windproof jacket: down or Gore-Tex jacket. The most effective jackets against wind and rain are made of Gore-Tex or Micropore, "breathable" materials that allow for rapid wicking of perspiration while maintaining perfect insulation.
  
• Cap
  
• Gloves
