Frequently Asked Questions

Preferably via the contact form on the website. Booking by phone is also possible. Please allow time for processing: every reservation must be confirmed by the gîte in Morocco, and sometimes it takes a while to get in touch.

You pay in cash at the gîte, directly to the manager. Payment is accepted in Moroccan Dirhams or Euros. We use a rate of 10 Dirhams for 1 Euro. Debit and credit card payments are not possible, and there is no ATM nearby.

For your stay in Morocco, we are legally required to register certain personal data, including passport details, with the local authorities. This information is used solely for this purpose and is not shared with third parties.

Absolutely. Please let us know in advance what you need a guide for and when.

The most important rule: Be considerate of others. Some groups arrive late, while others leave early for their hike. It's appreciated if everyone keeps noise to a minimum during early mornings and late evenings.

Currently, all rooms have shared sanitary facilities.

Wi-Fi is not available. There is a limited private network, but the connection is weak and not suitable for guests.

Yes, you can. Please mention this when booking. The price includes the mule and its handler — it's not possible to go out alone with the mule.

Yes, this is done by mule with a mule driver. Please mention this in your reservation and we’ll send you a quote.

Yes, but keep in mind that the gîtes are not located near supermarkets.

• Gîte Tamazirt: you can buy small items in the village. For larger groceries, you can walk to Agouti (about 45 minutes). For more extensive shopping, head to Tabant, a small provincial town about two hours on foot. We can arrange local transport if needed. If you plan to cook for yourself, it's best to stock up in the larger towns you pass through.

• Gîte La Tulipe: there are no shops nearby.

Not without filtering or using purification tablets. You can buy bottled mineral water at the gîte.

Depending on the route and road conditions, expect a journey of 5 to 7 hours. We can arrange transport for you — options include minibus, 4x4 or taxi. Prices vary by type and season. Contact us for a quote. We can also arrange airport transfers to and from Marrakech.

No, Gîte La Tulipe is only accessible on foot. From Gîte Tamazirt, it's about a two-hour walk. There are other access routes too, such as from Agouti, Tabant, or descending from the M’Goun or the Tarkeditt plateau.

The managers speak Berber and some Arabic. Communication about reservations goes through the owner, who speaks French, Dutch, English, Berber and Arabic.

You won’t be directly addressed about your clothing, but it’s respectful to avoid dressing too revealingly. A pair of shorts just above the knee and a short-sleeved shirt are fine. If in doubt, more coverage is always better.
