Questions about organizing a group trip to Marrakech
Hi everyone! 😊
We’re traveling as a family to Marrakech from April 19 to 24, and there’ll be 15 of us (all ages), staying in the Targa neighborhood (El Idrissi Street).
I’d love your advice on a few things! 🙏
🚗 Vehicle rental
We’re thinking of renting 3 cars. We’ve seen really low prices online, but often without insurance.
👉 Do you have any reliable contacts or personal experiences to share?
👉 Would you recommend getting specific “tourist” insurance?
🏛️ Visits – Bahia Palace & Saadian Tombs
We’d like to visit the Bahia Palace and the Saadian Tombs, but:
We can’t find single tickets online We only see guided tours with fixed times (like 9:30 AM / 4-hour tours)
👉 Do you know if it’s possible to book without a guide? 👉 Or do we have to buy tickets on-site? (We’re a little worried about crowds and lines, especially with older folks in the group.) 🍽️ Restaurants / meals We’ve spotted the Grand Bazaar Marrakech for a meal. 👉 Any thoughts? 👉 Could you recommend other restaurants in the same budget? (We’re a big group, so it needs to stay reasonable.) For lunch/snacks, we’ve seen:
Snack Toubkal Goûter Saveur
👉 If anyone’s been, I’d love your feedback! 😊 🛒 Practical info – Targa neighborhood We’ll be in Targa (El Idrissi Street). 👉 Are there shops nearby for quick groceries (breakfast, water, etc.)?
If you’ve got any great tips, contacts, or little tricks, I’d love to hear them! 😍 Thanks so much for your help! 💖

13-day 4x4 Morocco road trip: feedback on itinerary and desert crossing
Hi everyone,
We’re planning a 13-day family road trip in Morocco this July, with six people in a Toyota Prado 4x4 (renting in Marrakech). We’ll alternate between bivouacking and small hotels/riads depending on the stops.
Here’s the planned route (in this order):
Marrakech → Ouarzazate → Draa Valley → Zagora → Erg Chegaga → Lake Iriki → Foum Zguid → Tata → Tafraoute → Aït Mansour → Tiznit → Mirleft → Taroudant → Back to Marrakech
Our goal:
Atlas Mountains + desert + dunes + plateaus + valleys + a bit of coastline. We’ll cover about 1,700 km in total.
We’re planning:
Bivouacking in the Chegaga/Iriki area Flexible for the rest (booking the day before or same day) Sand gear: traction plates, compressor, tow strap, roof rack
Questions:
Is the Zagora → Chegaga → Iriki → Foum Zguid crossing in July doable on our own (single vehicle, no guide)? Are there any truly technical or risky sections between Chegaga and Iriki? Does the overall itinerary seem manageable in 13 days without rushing? Any suggestions for great bivouac spots or particularly interesting stops along this route? The points on the route are provisional overnight stops. Some spots will include two nights in the same area.
We’re used to off-road driving, but not yet in the Moroccan desert. Thanks in advance for your feedback and tips! 😊

Questions about SUV trails and must-sees for a California road trip
Hi everyone! 🙂
As you can see, we're heading back from September 6th to the 27th.
Everything’s booked for September—flights, accommodations, and the car. As I plan, I’ll be asking the experts for help. This is our second trip to California, but most of the stops are new to us.
We’ll start directly from San Francisco to our first overnight stop, Davis, before heading to Lassen Volcanic Park for 4 nights. Our flight lands at 12:50 PM.
Here’s our itinerary: Day 1: Davis – overnight stop Day 2: Red Bluff – exploring Lassen Volcanic Park (scenic drive to Lake Helen) Day 3: Susanville – scenic drive through the park via the South Entrance, points of interest, and hikes Day 4: Susanville – Cinder Cone and Painted Dunes hike Day 5: Susanville – Warner Valley (hikes) Day 6: South Lake Tahoe Day 7: South Lake Tahoe Day 8: Mammoth Lake Day 9: Mammoth Lake Day 10: El Portal via Tioga Road Day 11: El Portal Day 12: El Portal Day 13: Oakhurst Day 14: Miramonte Day 15: Three Rivers Day 16: Three Rivers Day 17: Coalinga Day 18: Monterey Day 19: Monterey Day 20: San Francisco Day 21: San Francisco Day 22: Departure
For hikes in Lassen Volcanic Park, I’ve planned: Bumpass Hell, Cold Boiling Lake (Day 2) Paradise Meadow (maybe not going all the way), Devastated Area, and the loop around Reflection and Manzanita Lakes (Day 3) Cinder Cone and Painted Dunes (Day 4) Devil’s Kitchen and Boiling Spring Lake (Day 5)
I’ve read there are trails to access the trailheads for Cinder Cone (11 km) and Warner Valley. Are these easy trails for an SUV? Are there any other must-see spots or things we shouldn’t miss?
That’s where I’m at for now. Thanks for your replies, and have a great evening! Marcalamar 🙂

7 weeks and 150 years between us on a southern Morocco road trip
We arrive in the evening in Marrakesh, and a taxi arranged by our friendly Riad is waiting for us. The driver takes us to the door, where we’re briefly greeted by our hosts. The room is heated—phew—because it’s really cold on this January 17th for our arrival. Riad Alisma, where we’re staying for 2 nights. The next morning, it’s pouring rain when we wake up, but after a good breakfast, the rain has calmed down. Off we go to the medersa, which allows for a relatively sheltered visit. We’d visited this palace 15 years ago—it’s been renovated since then.


From there, without the rain, we wander aimlessly and eventually end up near the tanneries, but it’s Sunday, and there’s very little activity. Of course, we get hassled by a tout.

Here, the hides after being treated with lime—I love the colors.
We part ways a bit annoyed. He gets a little revenge by giving us bad directions, and we end up outside the city walls. We decide to take a taxi to the new modern art museum—60 dirhams for the 5 km, which is nothing when you think about it. That tout, who we didn’t ask for anything and made it clear we weren’t buying anything, dragged us into a shop supposedly only open that day and demanded 50 dirhams for his "services"! Let’s forget that bad moment and enjoy the exhibition at the MACAL.

The taxi on the way back drops us off at Place des Ferblantiers, not far from our Riad. We’re a little peckish—it’s worth mentioning that at lunchtime, we only ate a plate of beans from a street vendor. So, we buy a bunch of little sweets, each more delicious than the last, at Ajar. We snack while sipping mint tea and watching life go by around us. A final visit to the Museum of Moroccan Cuisine on our way back helps us dodge a few more showers. Then it’s back to the Riad. The atmosphere in the city is heating up—it’s the AFCON final tonight. The temperatures, though? Not so much. We ordered a meal at the Riad, and it was a good call—not only was it really tasty, but the rain also picked up again. Our day in Marrakesh ends under the covers with a good book and some photo sorting. Still, we managed 10,750 steps. View of our Riad

Tomorrow, we’ll pick up our rental car from Medloc and head to Essaouira.

Marrakech to Merzouga loop in one week
Hi everyone,
We’re planning a trip to Morocco in February 2026. We already know the country a bit, including the desert where we were lucky enough to take part in a rally.
This time, we’d like to explore the Merzouga dunes as a family. We’ll be renting a car in Marrakech and we’re looking for advice on the best stops to make the most of the drive.
We’re still undecided about the return route: should we go back through the Valley of the Roses (and maybe see the gorges if we don’t have time on the way there) or take the Draa Valley for a change?
Here’s our rough itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival in Marrakech in the evening – Overnight stay there
Day 2: Drive east – Overnight in Skoura? Boumalne? Further on?
Day 3: Drive with a stop at the Dadès or Todra Gorges – Overnight in Merzouga
Day 4: Desert day – Overnight in Merzouga
Day 5: Return drive (Draa Valley or back through the Valley of the Roses / Route of the 1000 Kasbahs?) – Overnight in Agdz? Ouarzazate?
Day 6: Drive back to Marrakech with a stop at Aït Ben Haddou / Fint Oasis – Overnight in Marrakech
Day 7–8: Marrakech then departure
If any of you have suggestions on timing, the most enjoyable stops, or feedback on these routes, I’d love to hear your tips. Thanks in advance!

Itinerary ideas for a week in Morocco
Hi everyone, I’ve given my 18-year-old daughter a week in Morocco in February. I’d like to mix a bit of Marrakech (or elsewhere) with a hotel and pool, plus a trip into the desert with some beautiful dunes.
How can I structure this without making the journeys too long? Is it possible to do Marrakech to the south in 2 days, stopping at lovely spots along the way? Just to clarify, I’d prefer not to rent a car, and my daughter isn’t very "adventurous."
Thanks in advance for your replies and tips!
Where can I find a touring bike for beginners?
Hi everyone,
I don’t bike much, but I live on the VéloRoute 6, and I dream of adventure. I’m 51 and my old hybrid bike from 20 years ago no longer suits me.
I’d like to get a new bike at a reasonable price, but I don’t know where to look besides Decathlon and Intersport. I’m not after a racing bike—I want something a bit comfortable in terms of riding position (not recumbent) and with a luggage rack. 🙂
All your tips are welcome, with a budget of... let’s say 800 € max.
Looking forward to reading your suggestions!
Richard

Marrakech 2025: My First Steps as a Private Guide
Preamble:
.
This isn’t about drumming up business for a new professional venture—just sharing, under pressure from eager Vf members hungry for juicy anecdotes, my 10-day trip to Marrakech with 10 friends.
I’d mentioned during the planning discussion for this trip ((https://voyageforum.com/forum/questions-excursions-autour-marrakech-d10685703/)) that there wouldn’t be a travel journal... And since I’m a man of my word—but also stuck with a nasty calf muscle tear at the end of the trip that’s keeping me immobile for 15 days (more on that later)—I’ve got some time to dedicate to this. So, after this preamble, off we go to the Medina!
.
Day 1: Friday, May 2nd – The Day the Group Split
Before we dive in, let’s talk about the trip prep. Among my friends, I’ve got a rep as the go-to independent travel expert (thanks to a few trips, some with this same crew). So, naturally, the task of planning this one fell to me—and I took it on gladly (you’re never better served than by yourself, right?). The prep and itinerary were hashed out over multiple meet-ups (excuses?) during shared meals at one another’s places, guided by yours truly. Travel style, accommodation, sightseeing—all decisions were made together, trying to balance everyone’s wishes over a good bottle (generic term, not numerical!)
So, a group of five—including me and my girlfriend—set off for Geneva at 3 AM that Friday, while the rest would join us on Sunday due to family or work commitments. We’ll skip the EasyJet flight—it was nothing special, just a means to get us there safely (which, in itself, is already a win). We landed in Marrakech at 9 AM local time. There, a spotless Dacia Logan was waiting for us, chartered by MEDLOC, whose impeccable service I’ll praise here (thanks, friends, for the tip!). My first challenge, after loading the suitcases into the trunk: reaching the riad booked for our first two nights as the advance team. https://www.astradamusmarrakesh.top/fr/
I was a little nervous about driving here—Marrakech’s driving reputation precedes it. The hiccup? While setting up Google Maps for the route, I accidentally added a level-5 difficulty and enabled pedestrian mode... Imagine a rental car stubbornly trying for over half an hour to navigate the Medina (the riad was in the north), cursing all the pedestrians in streets too narrow for the car, and having to reverse multiple times because “it won’t fit,” ignoring the many Marrakechis waving to signal the street was impassable (but what are they trying to sell me now? 🤪)... Until my co-pilot, holding my phone, asked if it was “normal for the route to be dotted on Google Maps?” Yes, it’s normal—pedestrian mode was on.... We’ll still be laughing about this in the nursing home in 40 years, but at the time, I was genuinely surprised by what driving in Morocco had in store for me—and for good reason! After fixing the Google Maps settings, we arrived more calmly at the private parking lot (90 dirhams per night) and then at the riad, where we received a warm welcome while our rooms were being prepared.
After freshening up, we crossed the souks for the first time to have lunch at Jemaa el-Fna Square, at Zeitoun Café, where we enjoyed our first couscous or tagine on its terrace. We’d return to Jemaa el-Fna that evening after a restorative nap at the riad, another late afternoon in the souk, and an evening at this famous UNESCO World Heritage site. This time, it was the restaurant Lafarmacie (you can’t make this up!) that won us over, despite the lack of a rooftop. I recommend this place to everyone—the prices are great, the welcome is extraordinary, and the food is excellent...



Returning after 11 PM, we learned the hard way that the souk has its own entry points and hours, and the path to our beds was full of detours and closed doors. Fortunately, we were guided by friendly locals who showed us the right way (in exchange for a fiercely negotiated tip each time...)

Declaring Medications at Uzbek Customs
Hi there.
I’d like to know if all medications need to be declared at Uzbek customs.
E.g., antidepressants?
Thanks for your reply
Ladakh: Is it possible to sleep near Hanle? (India)
Hi everyone,
I’ve browsed this forum a lot about Ladakh and haven’t found answers to my questions... so here’s my post.
I’m heading there next July with a friend for a solid ten days of cycling (no e-bikes) in Ladakh. The flight to Leh is booked for both of us and our bikes.
I’ve got my route planned out pretty precisely; the main goal is to climb Umling La, which is currently the world’s highest motorable road at 5,798 m. We’re also planning to tackle 3 or 4 other passes over 5,000 m, including Photila, just next door at a little over 5,500 m.
I’ve read accounts from Europeans saying it’s impossible for foreigners to spend a night in Hanle... that the closest accommodation to the Chinese border would be in Nyoma. What do you think about that?
Also, some say the road between Hanle and Chushul (the one via Tsaga) is off-limits to non-Indians... Is the parallel route, the one via Mahé and Kaksang La (5,400 m), open to foreigners?
Is the road along Pangong Lake (the one through Merak and Man) also off-limits to foreigners?
Thanks for your feedback!

Alleppey - Dental Tourism - Testimonial (India)
Given the extreme difficulty of getting a dentist appointment in my area (Lot/Aveyron—even traveling 2 hours each way by train to Toulouse, even with the dentist I’ve been a client of for years in my small town of Capdenac)—and considering the cost of dental implants in France, I decided to get a full dental overhaul during my annual stay of several months in Kerala (I’ve been spending time in Alleppey from late October to late March for several years now).
My Indian friends in Alleppey recommended a private dental clinic (I was pleasantly surprised that this clinic was qualified to place implants, as I thought I’d have to make multiple trips to Ernakulam/Cochin—60 km each way on a road that’s pretty rough right now due to massive construction stretching for dozens of kilometers). Results of the check-up on November 5, 2024: - 1 canine and an adjacent premolar slightly chipped at the top → need root canal treatment before covering them with a crown - 1 molar next to those two teeth already had a root canal → also needs a crown - 1 other canine broken deep down → needs to be extracted and replaced with an implant - 4 molars completely extracted years ago → 4 dental implants.
Here are the procedures I’ve already had (from November 5 to 22, 2024): - First session: initial assessment by the lead dentist (multiple X-rays displayed on a large screen, which he used to explain what he could do and what he recommended. For each implant, he showed me the required bone depth, and since I have very strong jaws, he remarked that I was an ideal candidate for implants). A dental assistant then outlined the proposed treatment timeline and the cost of each major procedure on a piece of paper (I took a photo of the notes so I wouldn’t lose track of the details). - Second session: placement of dental implants on the 4 molars in about an hour and a half (under local anesthesia—long but not painful at all during the procedure, though I had a bad headache all day afterward and a dull but manageable ache for a few days. Medication to take for 5 days, including an antibiotic. Obviously, no chewing hard foods for a while—soup, mashed potatoes, rice, yogurt for two days, then gradually more varied meals). Stitches for the gums around the 4 molars. - Third session: root canal treatment for a canine and a premolar (very long but absolutely painless under local anesthesia) + extraction of the deeply broken canine (a bit painful despite the anesthesia, but bearable—the lead dentist had to apply force and try three times. An assistant held my head from behind, but it was more unsettling than painful). - Fourth session: preparation of the canine, premolar, and adjacent molar for two crowns and a bridge. Removal of stitches around the 4 implants already placed. - Fifth session: impressions for the 2 crowns and bridge - Sixth session: placement of the 2 crowns and bridge - Seventh session scheduled for December 6: placement of a 5th implant where the canine was extracted - Late February: placement of the 5 crowns on the 5 implants
Meanwhile, my 85-year-old mother had a loose tooth extracted that had been bothering her since mid-September 2024 (her French dentist wouldn’t give her an appointment before January 2025, and she even traveled to a dentist in Toulouse who ultimately refused to extract it, even though the tooth was barely holding on and I’d sent the list of medications she takes in advance. My mother was furious about the wasted trip, and so was I, though I tried to stay calm!). At the Alleppey dental clinic, the assistants reviewed her medication list, looked them up online to identify them, and weren’t concerned. Another dentist extracted her tooth (under local anesthesia, of course) in barely 30 seconds. My mother immediately trusted them and decided on the spot to get a full lower denture. It was delivered to her definitively on Friday, November 22 (I think it took 4 or 5 sessions total). After two days of use, she’s happy with it and has a follow-up appointment next week for a check-up and adjustments if needed (though major modifications aren’t possible after the teeth are fixed to the denture). The session where the young dentist shaped the denture in real time was impressively precise and professional (the base had already been made from an impression, and the dentist added at least ten layers of softened paste with a flame, testing each addition in her mouth. Each time, he asked her to move her tongue from cheek to cheek, stick out her tongue, talk for 15 seconds, and swallow to ensure the denture wasn’t uncomfortable—about 45 minutes total).
Ballpark costs of the procedures: - Tooth extraction: around 2000 ₹ - Root canal treatment: around 5000 ₹ - Ceramic crown placement: around 15,000 ₹ - Titanium implant placement (made by Nobel Biocare): around 35,000 ₹ (Total for implant + tooth: around 50,000 ₹) - Lower denture fabrication: just under 20,000 ₹. Three material options—my mother chose the best for a rigid denture. She didn’t want to get 2 implants to secure it better (she didn’t feel the need with her old, very worn denture).
General impressions: This dental clinic is very well-regarded in Alleppey (according to all my Indian friends). There are two operating chairs on the ground floor and at least four on the first floor. The lead dentist (quite young) owns the clinic and handles the most delicate procedures (like implants) while occasionally overseeing work done by colleagues (after another dentist performed the root canal on my two teeth, he not only visually inspected it but also gave it a final touch with the drill). How many dentists handle more routine procedures? I’m not sure, but they’re all fairly young—men and a few young women. There are also many assistants: some prepare tools or operate the saliva suction, while others, more qualified, process images (X-rays or scans) on screen and explain things to me using those images. Others spent ten minutes briefing my mother in the waiting room on how to use and care for her new denture. During more delicate procedures, the operating dentist is assisted by two others. Two receptionists handle payments and appointments at the front desk. The welcome is always efficient and attentive, thanks to the dental assistants who guide us and provide explanations (the two receptionists don’t speak English). Appointments are always quick, even though the clinic seems busy (the waiting room is often full of Indian clients, though patients rarely come alone—they’re usually accompanied by a family member who stays close during the procedure). All the dentists speak English (since my mother doesn’t, I sat near the operating chair during each session to translate). So far, no complaints—I’m looking forward to March 2025 for the final result after the 5 teeth are placed on my 5 implants (the two crowns and bridge already fitted are perfect for me). 🙂
My Indian friends in Alleppey recommended a private dental clinic (I was pleasantly surprised that this clinic was qualified to place implants, as I thought I’d have to make multiple trips to Ernakulam/Cochin—60 km each way on a road that’s pretty rough right now due to massive construction stretching for dozens of kilometers). Results of the check-up on November 5, 2024: - 1 canine and an adjacent premolar slightly chipped at the top → need root canal treatment before covering them with a crown - 1 molar next to those two teeth already had a root canal → also needs a crown - 1 other canine broken deep down → needs to be extracted and replaced with an implant - 4 molars completely extracted years ago → 4 dental implants.
Here are the procedures I’ve already had (from November 5 to 22, 2024): - First session: initial assessment by the lead dentist (multiple X-rays displayed on a large screen, which he used to explain what he could do and what he recommended. For each implant, he showed me the required bone depth, and since I have very strong jaws, he remarked that I was an ideal candidate for implants). A dental assistant then outlined the proposed treatment timeline and the cost of each major procedure on a piece of paper (I took a photo of the notes so I wouldn’t lose track of the details). - Second session: placement of dental implants on the 4 molars in about an hour and a half (under local anesthesia—long but not painful at all during the procedure, though I had a bad headache all day afterward and a dull but manageable ache for a few days. Medication to take for 5 days, including an antibiotic. Obviously, no chewing hard foods for a while—soup, mashed potatoes, rice, yogurt for two days, then gradually more varied meals). Stitches for the gums around the 4 molars. - Third session: root canal treatment for a canine and a premolar (very long but absolutely painless under local anesthesia) + extraction of the deeply broken canine (a bit painful despite the anesthesia, but bearable—the lead dentist had to apply force and try three times. An assistant held my head from behind, but it was more unsettling than painful). - Fourth session: preparation of the canine, premolar, and adjacent molar for two crowns and a bridge. Removal of stitches around the 4 implants already placed. - Fifth session: impressions for the 2 crowns and bridge - Sixth session: placement of the 2 crowns and bridge - Seventh session scheduled for December 6: placement of a 5th implant where the canine was extracted - Late February: placement of the 5 crowns on the 5 implants
Meanwhile, my 85-year-old mother had a loose tooth extracted that had been bothering her since mid-September 2024 (her French dentist wouldn’t give her an appointment before January 2025, and she even traveled to a dentist in Toulouse who ultimately refused to extract it, even though the tooth was barely holding on and I’d sent the list of medications she takes in advance. My mother was furious about the wasted trip, and so was I, though I tried to stay calm!). At the Alleppey dental clinic, the assistants reviewed her medication list, looked them up online to identify them, and weren’t concerned. Another dentist extracted her tooth (under local anesthesia, of course) in barely 30 seconds. My mother immediately trusted them and decided on the spot to get a full lower denture. It was delivered to her definitively on Friday, November 22 (I think it took 4 or 5 sessions total). After two days of use, she’s happy with it and has a follow-up appointment next week for a check-up and adjustments if needed (though major modifications aren’t possible after the teeth are fixed to the denture). The session where the young dentist shaped the denture in real time was impressively precise and professional (the base had already been made from an impression, and the dentist added at least ten layers of softened paste with a flame, testing each addition in her mouth. Each time, he asked her to move her tongue from cheek to cheek, stick out her tongue, talk for 15 seconds, and swallow to ensure the denture wasn’t uncomfortable—about 45 minutes total).

Accident de carrosserie d'une voiture louée au Maroc English translation pending
bonjour
je reviens d'un séjour où j'ai loué un véhicule sur Agadir , puis effectuer un périple au cours duquel une personne a percuté mon véhicule stationné, ce que j'ai vu immédiatement…..
la personne semblait de bonne foi, je n'avais pas de constat et j'ai donc pris la photo du véhicule incriminé, du choc et les coordonnées du fautif en présence de témoins , notamment le patron d'un bar connu…..
lors de la remise du véhicule, le loueur a voulu que je paye un forfait pour la réparation et m'a précisé que la police ne s'embarrasse pas de petits dossiers sauf bakchich…..
je préconise donc à chacun 1) de prendre une puce téléphonique
2) d'appeler immédiatement le loueur sur son portable ( donc prendre un portable du loueur)
3) de ne pas lâcher l'affaire avec le fautif sans avoir l'avis du loueur
4) prendre impérativement un constat( difficile à obtenir car très rare à faire, les marocains bricolant les dégâts pour payer moins)
Itinéraire, activités et logements pour 9 jours en voiture à partir de Casablanca English translation pending
Bonjour,
Je suis un peu à la dernière minute... Je serai au Maroc (Casablanca) au début mars pour 9 jours avec mon ado de 16 ans. C'est un retour au Maroc après 12 ans, donc nous avons déjà fait le circuit des cités impériales.
Nous allons louer une voiture, suggestion location grandes marques internationales ou locales?
Je pensais partir dès notre arrivée vers Essaouira, puis vers Marrakech, ensuite Merzouga et retourner vers Casablanca. Bien entendu, nous allons faire des arrêts dans quelques villes entre ces grands points d'intérêts. Vos suggestions sont les bienvenues.
Est-ce trop de distance à parcourir en peu de temps? Mon fils veut absolument passer une nuit dans le désert, des alternatives à Merzouga?
Comme je n'ai rien d'arrêté encore, je suis très ouvert à vos suggestions d'itinéraire et/ou d'activités et/ou de logements.
Merci à l'avance.

Avis sur un itinéraire de 11 jours au Maroc avec notre fille de 6 ans English translation pending
Bonjour,
À ceux qui pourront m'aider, je serais heureuse de lire votre avis concernant un itinéraire de voyage au Maroc que nous ferons fin mai avec notre fille de 6 ans.
Quelques informations générales : -premier voyage au Maroc pour tous (j'ai fait rabat et casa en deux jours pour le boulot mais ça ne compte pas :) -premier grand voyage pour notre fille -arrivée le 18 mai à Marrakech, retour le même jour de Marrakech aussi
Vu le contexte, nous nous disions que ce n'était pas une mauvaise idée de faire un itinéraire classique incluant Marrakech et Essaouira. Mais nous aurions souhaité inclure quelque chose en plus comme nous avons quand même 11jours. Du coup nous pensions à Ait Ben Haddou qui a l'air superbe, de même que la route qui y mène. L'inconvénient est que cela nous force à faire un aller retour Marrakech-Ait ben haddou et à passer une nuit supplémentaire à Marrakech car il me semble difficile de faire la route Ait ben haddou Essaouira en un jour avec une enfant. Nous pensons prendre des bus.
Mes questions sont: -cela vaut-il le coup selon vous de faire cet aller retour ? Si non, pensez-vous une chouette excursion de deux trois jours à faire entre Marrakech et Essaouira ? Ou bien pensez-vous qu'on devrait ne pas faire essaouira par exemple et favoriser un itinéraire plus "logique", en continuant plus loin qu'ait ben haddou par exemple (ça a l'air beau, mais cela conviendrait-il à une petite fille qui n'adore pas marcher :)?
Notre idée jusqu'ici : 18: arrivée à Marrakech et installation, 3 nuits sur place 21: départ pour Ait Ben Haddou, deux nuits sur place 23: retour vers Marrakech 24: départ pour Essaouira, 4 ou 5 nuits sur place 28 ou 29, retour vers Marrakech 29 : vol retour
On souhaite faire découvrir plein de choses à notre fille (et à nous-mêmes) mais à un rythme relax, pas au pas de course, car il nous semble aussi important de prendre le temps et le pouls des lieux.
Vos commentaires et vos suggestions sont les bienvenus, merci d'avance de vos conseils !

Obtenir l'ETA d'entrée au Sri Lanka English translation pending
🙂
Bonjour.
Mon épouse et moi partons le 22 janvier 2020 au Srilanka en circuit accompagné avec comme Tour Opérator Kuoni .
Ce matin j'ai reçu de la part de Kuoni tous les documents afférant à ce voyage .
Agrafé à la première page de ces documents un petit carton en forme de triangle pour bien attirer mon attention et où il est écrit que l'ETA est indispensable pour l'embarquement . J'ai fait nos demandes d'ETA là https://www.eta.gov.lk/slvisa/visainfo/center.jsp?locale=en_US ( car Kuoni peut les fournir moyennant finance alors qu'a l'heure actuelle ils sont gratuits ) et quand je fais la vérification de la demande celles ci sont approuvées mais je n'ai jamais reçu par mel un justificatif ou documents à imprimer pour présenter à qui que ce soit . Alors ma question est : Faut il obligatoirement présenter l'ETA pour embarquer ? Cela m'intrigue un peu car on peut très bien obtenir l'ETA d'entrée au Srilanka sur place. Si vous pouviez me renseigner s'il vous plait je vous en serai reconnaissant . Merci

Je souhaiterai me rendre à Baalbek. Est ce raisonnable étant donné la proximité avec la Syrie et la guerre SVP ? Plus globalement, est il dangereux de se rendre au Liban en ce moment ? Je n'ai absolument aucune idée de ce qu'il se passe là bas. Est bourré de problèmes, est ce dangereux, y a t il des djihadistes qui trainent, est ce au contraire très safe ?
Autrement dit est ce que le Liban est sûr comme un autre pays ou et il dangereux par sa proximité avec la guerre de son pays voisin ?
Merci ! :)

Nous avons loué une dacia sandero (avec assurance mais sans clim). Je me demande si cette voiture est appropriée pour la route et surtout pour le trajet à venir? Elle doit également nous emmener plus au nord vers Rabat, Tanger, chefchaouen et Fes notamment.

Quelle compagnie aérienne? (Thaï ou Singapour) English translation pending
Nous aimerions réserver nos billets pour Pâques prochain.
Les vacances scolaires nous obligent à partir à des dates bien précises donc pour avoir le meilleur prix je crois qu’il faut réserver au plus vite.
J’ai comparé les vols avec Thaï et Singapour air et ça se tient au niveau des prix.
Mais à votre avis quelle est la meilleure compagnie au niveau prestation, organisation, confort, ....?? Avantages, inconvénients ??
Et 1h d’escale pour le changement à Singapour c’est faisable avec 3 enfants??
Merci pour vos avis et réponses.
Très bon week-end à vous.

Médicament Malarone ou générique pour le Togo English translation pending
Bonjour,
Je souhaiterais avoir des informations. Nous sommes 10 personnes à partir en humanitaire au Togo au mois de Juin.
Nous devons donc prendre le médicament malarone qui nous a été prescrit en générique (atovaquone/ proguanil).
Nous sommes un peu inquiet car nous avons entendu qu'il y avait beaucoup d'effet secondaire notamment sur les maux de ventre et les vomissement. Alors que le médicament non générique non.
Avez vous des expériences à partager/ des conseils a nous donner .
Le malarone est plus cher mais il nous est remboursé par les mutuelles. Là n'est pas le problème.
Ps: Si vous avez des conseils pour la liste des choses à enmener en humanitaire aussi, n'hésitez pas!
Merci!! Cordialement

Adolescent plâtré pour voyage en Afrique du Sud English translation pending
Bonjour à tous,
Cela fait un an que nous rêvons notre voyage en Afrique du Sud. Le départ est prévu pour samedi, malheureusement mon fils s'est blessé au foot et est plâtré à la cheville 🙁. Nous revoyons un spécialiste jeudi… Nous ne savons pas du tout si nous pourrons partir. Malgré tout, il nous reste un petit espoir… Si nous partions, quelqu'un sait me dire si il est possible de louer des chaises roulantes au départ de l'aéroport. Nous avions peu de promenades à pied prévues mais beaucoup de voiture ( 5 jours entiers au Kruger), nous avons loué une voiture 7 places, notre fils pourrait alors étendre sa jambe. En ce qui concerne notre passage au Swaziland y-a-t-il des promenades accessibles en fauteuil roulant à Mlilwane ? Nous ne savons pas encore quelle décision nous allons prendre mais nous serions tellement tristes de devoir annuler… Ce voyage était vraiment un rêve pour nous…
