Da, acelasi lucru il poate spune oricine a fost in Maroc sau care a avut contact cu lumea araba. Asa cum explicam, chiar daca marocanii nu sunt radicali in religie, totusi pentru confortul personal este bine sa nu zgadari anumite lucruri care poate stau latente. Noua europenilor ni se pare absolut normal sa purtam scurt, nimic nefiresc, nimic provocator in asta, dar ei au alta religie, alta mentalitate si daca toata lumea spune sa nu bei apa dintr-un loc, chiar daca ti se pare potabila, eu zic ca e mai bine sa tii cont de sfatul lor...
Am primit din Spania cateva materiale noi si cateva informatii. Cu una va eram dator, este vorba de plecarea din Malaga, in prima zi de excursie: la 5.30 trebuie sa fim cu bagajele jos, pt a ajunge la timp si a prinde ferry de ora 8.00. De aceea va recomandam sa veniti odihniti...In prima seara pana mancam, pana ne foim, o sa vedeti se face 23.00, unii se acomodeaza mai greu cu un pat nou...asa ca o sa ramana 4-5 ore de somn. Si a doua zi ne asteapta un drum tare lung. Avem bucata pana in granita, 2 ore cu autocarul, apoi ferry Tarifa - Tangier, formalitatile vamale si urcam in alt autocar care ne va astepta in port. Nu uitati v-am recomandat express bagaje putin voluminoase si usoare, pt ca uite si de la vas pana la autocar. e o bucata de drum...Avem apoi de la 10.00 probabil cand ajungem in Tangier pana seara de calatorit peste 300 km si de vizitat pe picioare. Daca sunteti odihniti, daca mai "furati" un pic de somn pe autocar in timp ce eu va povestesc...
va fi ok va veti bucura de ce vedeti, daca nu porniti cu oboseala si cine stie cand ajungeti sa va refaceti....
Materialele sunt in engleza, majoritatea stiti si intelegeti, daca nu luati textul cu copy/paste si dati lui nea google de lucru sa traduca...
Medical information.It is not necessary any especial medical information, vaccinations or any other matter. We suggest to be prepared with stomach protection or any peals for sea motions on board the ferry but nothing else.
Food & waterSometimes people say that condiments in Moroccan food can make easy stomach but it is true that same food, same restaurant and same amount of food dont give the same symptoms. Anyway dont worry if along 8 days of traveling in Morocco you get easy stomach it is absolutely normal.
MoneyMoroccan people and establishments normally prefer to receive Euros rather than dirhams (the local currency). In my opinion it is better and easier for foreign to change and always to buy, pay and bargain with dirhams. Take the measure that 1 = 10 DH so
200 dh = 20 or
1500 = 150 etc, etc, etc.
BargainAlways bargain, it is not something for tourists, it is simply something cultural and everybody bargains. For tourists the initial price it bigger because we should pay more than local people so it is easier for them to get better selling with us.
My suggestion is, with respect try to get a normal and mutual agreement trying to reduce the first price even more than 50%.
SecurityMorocco it is very save, behavior and culture is absolutely different but people are social honest. No place in the world is 100% save so it is important to be carefully but we advise everybody to stroll around on their own, not to be worry and specially enjoy the experience.
BoardingFor European people it is compulsory passport. Please dont forget it.
Passport must be stamped on board during the passing and before arrival in Tangier. The procedure from getting off the boat until getting on the Moroccan bus is uncomfortable. Everybody need to carry its luggage on foot, pass the scan control before arriving into the bus.
I think this is all, enjoy the tour, have fun and get all the positive details that the Moroccan culture offers.
Thank you very much!
