Some notes about cost (see pricing below):

We travel with small groups, usually 8 to 12 clients at the most. Others, even top line companies, have groups of 18 to 36 or more people. Group size has the largest impact on trip cost. We offer several price points depending on group size.

We take care of all the tipping during the trip. You don't have to worry about when, whom or how much to tip.

We personally lead each trip, so you can count on us to take care of the daily details and solve any problems that may arise.

The ground cost for this trip per person (based upon double occupancy and not including international airfare)

8 people, not including Don and Gail $13,100
10 people, not including Don and Gail $12,300
12 people, not including Don and Gail $11,500

We will need your deposit of $2500 per person when you register for the trip. The final payment will be due December 22, 2022. Checks should be made out to eGlobalEducation and mailed to 11855 Daley Circle, Parker, CO 80134.

The trip price includes 5-star, or the best available, hotels, riads (old Moroccan palaces) and desert camp, all breakfasts, most lunches and dinners, ground transportation, guides, admissions, transfers, and tips

Visas

Americans traveling to Morocco do not need visas. Remember that your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after you leave Morocco

Itinerary changes

Please note that we may change the itinerary based on changes in airline schedules, natural disaster, availability of hotels, or other circumstances requiring such changes.

Refund Policy

Deposits are refundable, less a $500 per person cancellation fee, until 120 days prior to departure. After that date, refunds cannot be made. We recommend trip-cancellation insurance and, if the trip insurance doesn't include it, medical evacuation insurance.

Trip cancellation

We reserve the right to cancel or postpone the trip if we do not have at least 6 people participating or if circumstances beyond our control (i.e., war, quarantine, Covid, etc.) require it. If we must postpone the trip, your payments will be credited to the trip once we can take it.

Travel Insurance

We strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance in case you need to cancel your reservation. Given Covid, this is more important than ever. Different hotels and airlines have very different policies regarding refunds (as in, most will not give us refunds). In order to include preexisting conditions, you usually need to buy travel insurance within 2 weeks of making your deposit for the trip. Please compare policies and read the small print in the policy carefully. We use www.insuremytrip.com to compare travel insurance policies, which can vary significantly from trip to trip and carrier to carrier. We have found their system to be easy to use and their customer service to be very good. Note that price and coverage have no relationship to each other, so compare the policies carefully.
