Yes—small local purchases, tips, or extra tea are easiest to pay with Moroccan dirham on hand; major cards aren’t always accepted in villages.
The 30-minute camel ride is gentle but involves mounting and dismounting; children and seniors should assess mobility and may request assistance from guides.
No—the tour visits foothill villages such as Imlil and the Kik Plateau but does not include high-altitude summit hikes; most travel is by vehicle with short walks.
Full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours before departure; check the operator’s policy for weather-related changes.
