The desert's dress-code challenge
A pool day, a ride and an evening meal call for different clothing.
Use this checklist as a starting point for your own programme.
| Programme | Suggested clothing | Bring along |
|---|---|---|
| Pool and lunch | Swimwear, then dry clothes for lunch | Sandals and a change; check towel provision |
| Quad or camel ride | Comfortable trousers and closed shoes | Clothing that can get dusty |
| Dinner and sunset | Comfortable clothes and stable shoes | Jacket or sweater to suit the forecast |
| Walking and photos | Flexible clothes and suitable soles | Hat, sunglasses and water |
Daytime: favor natural fabrics
Cotton and linen are comfortable options for a relaxed visit.
Choose loose clothing that lets you move easily.
A light long-sleeved top can cover your arms in the sun.
Carry water and plan breaks in the shade.
Pool and day pass: the 'resort chic' style
For a pool day, bring swimwear, sandals and dry clothing for lunch and the return journey.
A cover-up or shorts with a top are enough; there is no need to buy a special outfit.
Practical tip
Before packing, check whether your booked formula includes a towel.
Footwear: forget stiletto heels
Camp surroundings and trails can be rocky or uneven.
Choose stable shoes with grippy soles.
For quad biking and a camel ride, wear closed shoes and comfortable trousers.
Keep sandals for the pool area.
Evening: the layering rule
For the dinner show, bring a layer you can add or remove.
In summer, choose it according to the expected wind and temperature.
In winter, pack a warmer jacket, trousers and closed shoes.
In spring and autumn, several light layers help you adjust between afternoon and evening.
Practical tip
Check the forecast for your return time, not just the afternoon high.
The cheche: the essential, authentic accessory
A scarf can be useful in wind or dust.
During motorised activities, avoid loose ends and follow your guide’s instructions.
A scarf does not replace the protective equipment required for the activity.
Protective accessories: don't neglect them
Pack a hat or cap, sunglasses and suitable sun protection.
A small closed bag keeps your belongings together while moving around.
Check the weather before leaving Marrakech.
Photo styling: colors that work
Choose clothes you can comfortably walk and sit in.
Natural tones suit the landscape; brighter colours create contrast.
Pair a long dress with stable shoes, and bring different clothing if you are also quad biking.
Cultural sensitivity: staying respectful
Wear swimwear in the pool area.
Keep a light cover-up or everyday clothing handy for meals, transfers and stops in villages.
Ask the camp whether any particular dress guidance applies to your programme.
