As part of our mission to support safe and responsible travel, Modern Adventure requires all guests and staff members participating in our experiences to be fully vaccinated (including booster protocols if applicable) for COVID-19 with an authorized vaccine. We will require proof of vaccination prior to your trip’s departure for all destinations and group experiences. In addition, it may be a requirement to provide a negative COVID-19 test result prior to your departure and your return to your home country. By booking a Modern Adventure you are agreeing to these terms and to providing proof of vaccination.

The ability to provide a negative test result or comply with the vaccination requirements is the responsibility of the guest. Any cancellation due to non-compliance of these requirements will result in your booking being non-refundable or transferable.

Our Traveler Vaccination Policy is subject to change and any exceptions to this policy are granted at the sole discretion of Modern Adventure.

Please note that all of our travelers must adhere to all country-specific, regional and local protocols, and travel requirements.

Our accommodations offer Wi-Fi, and we recommend using Wi-Fi supported apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime or Skype as an alternative to making calls from your mobile phone. For American travelers, many phone providers have temporary international travel plans, check with your provider for options.

In Morocco, the power grid runs at 220 volts (in the U.S. it's 120 volts), so you'll need an adaptor for you electronics and appliances.

Travelers from the U.S. also need plug converters: In Morocco the sockets are Type C/F (two round pins) and Type F (two round pins plus a third grounding pin).

If you are on prescription medication, you should ask your doctor for a letter detailing your condition and prescribed drugs. This prevents possible issues at customs and helps the local doctor if you need to buy medication while traveling. If you wear prescription glasses or contact lenses, we recommend you bring an extra pair and a copy of the prescription in case of emergency.

May is an ideal time to visit Morocco. In Marrakech the daily highs average in the mid-70sF, and evening and morning temperatures cool to around 50F. In Fes daily highs average in the low 70s, with overnight lows in the high 50sF. Both cities experience minimal rainfall in May, so you can expect plenty of sunshine.

Casual clothing is appropriate for most of our time together. Layering is the best option for the daily temperature changes and types of activities on our trip. We recommend bringing casual short and long sleeve layers (lightweight tees, shirts, pants, dresses, and shorts). Comfortable walking shoes are essential—sneakers, sandals, sport sandals or open-toed shoes, usually flat. We do suggest bringing a light jacket and a raincoat, just in case.

We will have two evenings and one afternoon to dine on our own. If you want to make reservations at an upscale restaurant, you may want to bring a dressy option, too.

Additional items we recommend you to bring:

• Hat (to protect yourself from the sun)

• Sunscreen

• Sunglasses

• Sandals or flip-flops

• Sturdy walking shoes

• Bathing suit

• Phone charger

• Headphones

• Travel pillow

• Ear plugs

We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance. Travel insurance allows you to seek reimbursement for your trip costs; if your trip plans change for unforeseeable reasons, or if you need to get medical help, emergency transport, and for theft, loss or damage of items while traveling.

For best coverage, always insure the full trip cost within two weeks of your initial trip deposit and note that most 'Cancel For Any Reason' policies must be purchased on the date of your initial deposit.

While Modern Adventure does not recommend any policy specifically, we encourage you to compare benefits and options, a few of which are listed below. We recommend that any plan you select includes trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage, at minimum.

US citizens are not required to have a visa for tourist visits to Morocco for visits less than 90 days, however are required to show a valid US passport. It is recommended that your passport is valid for six months after your travels are over.

In Morocco the local currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD or dh), worth roughly 9 MAD to US$1.

There are numerous ATMs in Marrakech and Fes to access your bank back home. Some restaurants and shops accept credit cards; however you will want some dirham notes when traveling outside of the main cities.

We curate your Modern Adventure to ensure all experiences are immersive and included in your trip price. We recommend bringing enough money with you for a few meals on your own, as well as any souvenirs or local arts and crafts you might like to bring back with you. If you're eating out on your own, tips of 10% to 15% are sometimes included in the bill, though tipping an additional 5% to 10% in restaurants is common (leave the tip on the table in cash, or else staff will likely not receive your tip). No tip is expected for small purchases such as coffee or a beverage.

Most gratuities and tips are included in our trip price. Please note that tipping your Modern Adventure guide is at your discretion; to show your appreciation for good service, we recommend tipping each guide US$70 - $150 per guest.
