Go to Morocco from Philippines by yourself
If you travel by yourself, it will be a good opportunity to discover the unknown strange land without any previous knowledge. This is suitable for adventurous travellers who have already experienced traveling by themeselves. you will discover Morocco on a budget and you don’t have to spend more money with a travel operator.
Nonetheless, You will use local guides in some cities like Fes and Marrakech since you cannot discover these cities alone. Marrakesh is easy and you won’t get lost in its alleys. However, in Fez, its sneaky and look like alleys will make you lost for sure.
Therefore, we advise you to book guides and you can ask your hotel to contact their guides or contact us for that.
Concerning transportation, we advise you to use trains. It is safer and you won’t pay more than your trip deserves; some taxi drivers will often tend to ask for bigger prices. We advise you to haggle if you think the trip is expensive.
Indeed, If you want to visit the desert, then you must book a tour because you can’t find any transportation to take you there. if you travel on a budget, book only 3 days tour from fes to Marrakesh or 3 days Marrakesh desert tour.
Both tours lead to the Sahara and you can have fun time along the way, but if you like to enjoy the desert more, book longer tours, either from Marakesh or Fes.
Although, traveling alone can be enjoyable, but it presents some shortcomings. You may face stress in some situations especially if you get lost or you didn’t find a car to take you to your destination. In addition, you may face some delays when you wait for taxi or trains. These delays are common in Morocco.
