Pace your transfers

Desert days are hot and nights can be cool; bring sun protection and insulating mid-layers for evenings at the camp.
Cash for local purchases
Smaller markets, taxis and some cooperatives prefer cash (Moroccan dirham); ATMs are common in cities but limited in remote stops.

Non-Muslims cannot enter all mosques—observe dress codes, remove hats in prayer areas and ask before photographing people.
Sturdy walking shoes
Comfortable shoes handle cobblestones in medinas and uneven viewpoints in the Atlas and Agafay.
Layered clothing
Light layers and a warm mid-layer are useful for hot afternoons and cool desert nights.
Sun protection (hat & sunscreen)
High sun exposure in towns and open desert makes broad-spectrum sunscreen and a brimmed hat essential.
