Frequently asked questions
Booking, payment, safety, what to pack: answers to the questions we hear most.
Booking
Is my booking confirmed straight away?
Tours marked "Instant confirmation" are confirmed as soon as you book. For the others (private circuits, balloon flights, tailor-made trips) we check guide or camp availability and confirm within 24 hours — usually in under 2 hours.
Can I change or cancel my booking?
Yes, from the "My booking" page (link in your confirmation e-mail). Most day trips can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before departure; multi-day circuits follow a stricter policy shown on each tour page.
Do you offer private tours?
Almost every tour has a private version: a vehicle and guide just for you, at the time you choose. The price per person drops as your group grows; the exact price appears as soon as you enter the number of travellers.
Payment
Do I have to pay online?
No. Depending on the tour you can book now and pay on the day (cash in dirhams or euros), pay a deposit online and the balance on the day, or pay everything online by card.
Do prices include tips and entrance fees?
Each tour page lists exactly what is and isn’t included. Tips are never mandatory. Monument entrance fees are included only where stated.
Which currency will I be charged in?
Online payments are always in euros. Amounts shown in dirhams, dollars or pounds are indicative.
On the ground
Where is pickup inside the medina?
Vehicles cannot enter the medina’s alleys. Your driver waits at the nearest car-accessible point to your riad; we send the exact location the day before, and riad staff can walk you there.
What should I wear on tours?
Clothes covering shoulders and knees are appreciated in villages. Bring good shoes for the Atlas, a jacket for evenings (the desert is cold at night, especially November to March), and sunscreen and a hat all year round.
Are your tours suitable for children?
Most are: child prices, car seats on request and a relaxed pace on private tours. Some activities have a minimum age (quad biking, balloon flights, Toubkal trek), always stated on the tour page.
Transfers
What if my flight is delayed?
Add your flight number when booking: we track the actual arrival time and the driver waits at no extra cost for up to 60 minutes after landing.
How will I find my driver at the airport?
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. We send you their first name and WhatsApp number the day before.
Desert
Agafay, Zagora or Merzouga: which desert?
Agafay is a stony desert 45 minutes from Marrakech, ideal for an evening. Zagora (2 days) has small dunes and the Draa Valley. Merzouga (3 days) is the real Sahara with the tall dunes of Erg Chebbi — the longest drive, but the most spectacular.
How comfortable are the desert camps?
Standard tents have real beds and shared bathrooms. The "deluxe" and "luxury" tent upgrades add a private bathroom, winter heating and more privacy.
General
Is Moments Marrakech a licensed agency?
Yes. Moments Marrakech is a Moroccan travel agency licensed by the Ministry of Tourism, based in Guéliz since 2004. Our guides hold the official guide licence.
