FAQS
HOW MUCH $ SHOULD I BRING?
We suggest $200 in cash for this trip. There is an ATM right by the riad that you can withdraw money from. The currency is in dirham, and 100 DH equates to about 10 USD. Otherwise, most places accept cards.
VACCINES?
Please visit the CDC's website for any suggested vaccines. Arrow Yoga does not require you to get any prior to departure, but if you feel like it's something you want, choose at your own discretion.
YOGA MATS
The riad is not a yoga retreat, therefore you will need to bring a mat with you. Most students find an inexpensive mat that they can fold and travel with. Dani has always brought her lululemon 5 mm mat rolled up and packed on her yoga backpack.
WEATHER
Temps range from 40-85' F. The mornings/evenings are always cooler so we suggest to bring layers.
CATS & PRAYER
Not a FAQ but a fact is that Moroccan's have a deep respect for cats, with most guest houses hosting a number of them. Our riad's house cats names are BB & Bowie. They will be walking around inside/outside but will not be in your rooms. Another thing to add is call to prayer that happens 5x/day. You'll wake up to the sound of chanting over loud speakers through out the entire city.
RANDOM
1. A European outlet converter is needed. 2. You cannot drink the tap water. 3. There is wifi in the desert. 4. All food preferences will be accounted for.
OUR LOCATIONS
Riad Yasmine / Be Agafey
MARRAKECH | RIAD YASMINE | 5 NIGHTS
Riad Yasmine is an 8 bedroom private boutique hotel situated in the middle of the Medina of Marrakech. Let yourself be guided by the cool air corridor leading you to the traditional patio. You will be enveloped by its bright and quiet atmosphere where only the chirping of birds comes to disturb the silence. Throughout your stay in the red city, the Riad Yasmine will be your safe haven of peace, a timeless nest preserved from the bustle of the medina.
DESERT | BE AGAFEY | 2 NIGHTS
Be Agafey is a beautiful glamping desert camp equipped with a pool, restaurant, and the most luxurious accommodations where you can rest in stillness, have unobstructed views of the starry night sky and feel fully taken care of. Yes, there are fully functioning bathrooms and yes, there is wifi.
FLIGHTS
Our trip dates are Saturday, March 29 - Saturday, April 5, 2024
Search for flights using the Morocco Airport code: RAK
Transportation will be arranged for you both to and from the Marrakech airport no matter what time you arrive but I do request finding a flight that gets you into the city before 3 pm. We begin our first practice at 4:30 pm and I want you to have adequate time to ground. For departure, search for morning flights, as we will be heading back to the airport early. (If you are choosing to stay longer in Marrakech, we will still bring you to the airport.)
You do NOT need a Visa in order to travel to Morocco for this trip. Please make sure that your passport has at least 6 months before its expiration date.
INSURANCE
We require trip/health insurance
