In-Depth Information
Apartments
» If travelling in a small group or as a family, consider self-catering options, particularly in low season,
when prices can drop substantially.
» Agadir, nearby Taghazout, Essaouira, Assilah and the bigger tourist centres on both coastlines have a fair
number of self-catering apartments and houses, sometimes in tourist complexes.
» Airbnb ( www.airbnb.com ) offers good rental options in many Moroccan cities.
Camping
» You can camp anywhere in Morocco if you have permission from the site's owner.
» There are many official campsites.
» Most official sites have water and electricity; some have a small restaurant, grocery store and even a
swimming pool.
» Most of the bigger cities have campsites, although they're often some way from the centre.
» Such sites are sometimes worth the extra effort to get to, but often they consist of a barren and stony area
offering little shade and basic facilities.
» Particularly in southern Morocco, campsites are often brimming with enormous campervans.
COSTS
» At official sites you'll pay around Dh10 to Dh20 per person, plus Dh10 to Dh20 to pitch a tent and about
Dh10 to Dh15 for small vehicles.
» Parking a campervan or caravan typically costs around Dh20 to Dh30, although this can rise as high as
Dh45.
» Electricity generally costs another Dh10 to Dh15.
» A hot shower is about Dh5 to Dh10.
» Many campsites have basic rooms or self-catering apartments.
Gîtes d'Étape, Homestays & Refuges
» Gîtes d'étape are homes or hostels, often belonging to mountain guides, which offer basic accommodation
(often just a mattress on the floor) around popular trekking routes in the Atlas and Rif Mountains.
» Gîtes have rudimentary bathrooms and sometimes hot showers.
» Larger than gîtes, mountain refuges offer Swiss-chalet-style accommodation.
» Accommodation at refuges is usually in dormitories with communal showers, and often includes a lively
communal dining/living room.
