In Marrakech we use a good
quality comfortable hotel such as the Moroccan House Hotel. Rooms are
on twin share basis with private facilities.
On hike
we camp using
two person tents with sewn in ground sheets or gîte
(simple
mountain huts). Basic bedding and mattresses will be provided, but you
should bring your own sleep-sheet and sleeping bag. As power in the
villages may be limited you will need your own torch (and spare
batteries).
You are hiking through some of Morocco's most remote regions, so please
be prepared for very basic washing and toilet facilities. Most often
only cold water is available. Sometimes there is no running water, but
there may be a stream nearby. Toilets will either be squat toilets or
'au naturel' - that is, using the local sheep pen or behind a nice
rock!
You will need to bring your own towel, and should carry your own supply
of toilet paper (available locally). Other useful items to bring
include wet-wipes and disinfectant for hands. Toilet paper should be
used sparingly, and should be burned safely and buried, or collected
and taken out of the area for disposal. You should also bring
matches/lighter and some resalable plastic bags.
Although dwellings and facilities may be basic, if you leave behind
your western ideals, you'll appreciate these wonderful communities to
their fullest extent!!
