Start early in medinas
Mornings are cooler, less crowded and offer better light for photos when walking through Fes and Marrakech medinas.
Carry cash for souks
Small vendors and taxis often prefer dirhams—ATMs are in cities but remote towns may not accept cards.
Layer for temperature swings
High Atlas mornings and desert nights can be cold while days are hot—pack warm and breathable layers.
Protect against sand and sun
Bring sunglasses, a scarf or buff for sand, and broad sunscreen for long sun exposure in Erg Chebbi.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good traction for cobbled medina alleys, gorge floors and dune approaches.
Daypack with water reservoir
Keeps water, documents and layers accessible during day trips and camel treks.
Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen)
Desert and high‑altitude sun is intense—protect skin and eyes.
