ACCOMMODATION:
- General accommodation: 3*** hotels in triple and quadruple rooms.
- Accommodation in desert in Jaimas: these are typical tents in the area that can have space from 6 to 14 people. We recommend sleeping in tents with more people - it can get cold in the desert at night;)
- Accommodation at the desert hotel: the rooms will be multiple but large. Since the construction in the area is problematic due to the type of sole (sand) - buildings with more than 2 heights cannot be constructed - therefore the number of rooms is limited.
The hotels have WIFI service in common areas.
TRANSPORT:
We are going to travel from Valencia and Morocco in a modern, comfortable and safe bus accompanied by highly experienced drivers on these types of trips. We will also travel by boat to cross the Giblartar Strait to and from Africa.
OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES:
During our trip there will be available several activities of high interest - they are optional but highly recommended.
* 4x4 desert excursion
After spending a night in the desert and returning to the hotel in the afternoon, we can go on a desert excursion. The professional drivers will give us a tour of about 2 hours on the sand dunes. We will feel like Paris-Dacar ralli participants! We are going to make stops to visit some old mines, we will gvisit a Tuareg village, they will invite us to a tea and we will listen to a live performance of their music, we will make more interesting stops;)
* Visit of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca
It is the second largest mosque in the world. It is an architectural masterpiece that lasted 8 years of construction, from 1985 to 1992. It can house 90,000 people between its interior and exterior at the same time! It is also the only mosque that can be visited in Morocco. An expert guide will make us a private visit with all the explanations of this building, of the religion of Islam, of the customs of the people.
