recommendations for the new year’s eve

 

Based on several year’s of experience, the following suggestions may help guarantee a successful trip on this occasion and which you may wish to make a note of : 

 

1 - Make air travel bookings as soon as possible either through your travel agent or directly through Royal Air Maroc (RAM) ; during this high season period this will be your first concern as flights get very booked up.

Others Internet addresses for your fly tickets:   

2 - The best solution is to fly directly to Ouarzazate which has the nearest international airport to the desert and which will help avoid wasting unnecessary time driving long distances from other main towns. There are direct flights from Paris or with a short stopover in Casablanca. 

3 - We would recommend our 8 day tour which includes day of arrival and departure. If you arrive the 28 December, the trek with the camels will take place before New Year’s Eve leaving the Oasis in the direction of the Chgaga dunes.
If your arrival is either the 30 or 31 December your Saharan adventure will take place after New Year’s Eve (please enquire about other options). Whichever way you will spend some time at the Oasis, unique  place in this area,  and 3 days trekking. (40-50km) The days of caravan including New Year’s Eve represents the most important part of the tour : a timeless experience when you will live in harmony with nature with no extrinsic factors of stress. 

4 - The following is a list of what to bring : 
* sleeping bag 
* warm clothing for the evenings and nights (day time temperatures will be agreeable) 
* sport shoes, trainers, but try to avoid heavy walking shoes 
* sun cream, sun glasses, a small medical kit. 

Attention : The Hotel Iriqui in Mhamid is the last place where you can recharge your equipment. No electricity in the desert and at the Oasis. 20 km after Mhamid, you don’t have any more network system for phones.
Protect you equipment of the sand : they don’t like this.
