Hydrate before desert sections
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water per person for the Agafay visit; temperatures and wind can dehydrate you quickly.
Dress for both culture and sun
Wear lightweight, modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees for sites and a wide-brim hat for open desert areas.
Carry small bills for souks
Bring small denomination dirhams for purchases and tips—vendors often prefer exact change and cards aren’t accepted everywhere.
Plan morning site visits
Visit busy attractions like Majorelle Garden and Bahia Palace early to avoid crowds and midday heat.
Sturdy walking shoes
Supportive shoes handle cobbles in the medina and stony surfaces in Agafay.
Sun hat & sunscreen
Desert sun is intense—protect skin and eyes during outdoor stretches.

Small daypack
