Modern amenities have gone a long way in making traveling risk-free. Even in an alien country, you can just use the GPS tracker on your phone to get the route to follow rather than ask highwaymen who might mislead you. You can also chat on the fly and discuss the problems you are facing with a friend or relative who has been to that part of the country recently. In spite of all these modern amenities, it is preferable to keep some travel safety tips in mind to ensure that you do not suffer from any mishap like burglary or worse during your trip.

Travel safety tips – Keep your valuables safe

Try not to pack any valuables you do not absolutely need on the trip as you will be forced to keep them out of your watch due to some unavoidable circumstances on the trip. If you are carrying valuables try to keep them with you at all times or stash them safely in the hotel room. Do not carry any expensive jewelry which you will not be sporting during the span of the trip. Leave your iPhone, or tablets behind if you do not plan to conduct any business transaction during the trip.

Carry as less cash as possible and resort to the use of traveler’s check instead of cash. Divide your valuables and traveler’s check-in several compartments rather than keeping them in the same compartment. Consider other important travel safety tips like using belt pouches to store important documents or traveler’s cheques.

Travel safety tips – Necessary precautions

In order to avoid any hint of trouble, you must be on your guard all the time and steer clear whenever you catch the scent of a problematic situation. Walk only on well lit main roads even if it means that you will have to walk an extra mile. Avoid places with high crime rates or scenes of the recent unrest. Travel in pairs if you have the option and do not wear something flashy or overly exposing so as to not draw attention.

Even if you are lost do not exhibit your distress. If you are asking a stranger for direction, try not to discuss your tour itinerary or other details of your travel plans. Keeping these travel safety tips in mind will ensure that you do not get into a troublesome situation during your stay in an unknown location.

Do some research about the place before planning your visit

Before embarking on the trip, talk to someone who has been there already in the recent past. Discuss your itinerary and the hotels you plan to stay with him or her and leave a copy of your travel plans with the person. Stay in contact with your point of correspondence back home on a regular basis so that they will realize something is wrong as soon as you do not call for a day.

Other travel safety tips include familiarizing yourself with numbers and contacts of local police or law enforcers and carrying a payphone card at all times so that you can make the call even if you are separated from the cash.

Great day! We really enjoyed the ourika valley tour. The guides were great and executed the day perfectly. There was a driver and a hiking guide. We made a stop for a photo, then to a Berber village, then the hike to the waterfalls, and lastly a lunch stop by the river. The tour was limited to 8 people, and each person could chose how much they wanted to hike. I’d recommend it.

Incredible We were left completely speechless on this tour, everything was planned out perfectly we didn’t have to stress about anything. The food provided was delicious we were left very full after every meal. The accommodations were absolutely beautiful. Our driver Badre was one of the most humble souls we have met. He was very knowledgeable on every place we went to and we felt very safe with him. He was very kind and thoughtful, he took us for coffees, organised a nice romantic dinner for my partner and I, let us have a rest in his hotel room to shower/nap before we went to the desert , he even gave me his hat when I forgot mine. The tour could not have been any more perfect. We loved visiting Morocco 💕🥰

Excellent day We had a wonderful day! Using a private tour - really just your group - makes sense, especially if you’re a family with young kids. We had total freedom to take a break, change our itinerary, take our lunch at leisure. Badre, our guide, was knowledgeable, patient and kind. He arranged for the guide to take us on the hike and even lent us cash, when we fell short (for lunch, at the village)Thanks!

Hospitality at its best! I highly recommend Ali for his professionalism and his kind hospitality. He took great care of us during our recent trip to Marrakech - always with a smile and ready to help. You will surely not be disappointed with his tours!

Ali is simply the best! Ali is the best of the best when it comes to hospitality in Morocco. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left - he was a constant person we were able to contact for assistance, advice, guidance, and friendship! Ali knows the industry and truly goes above and beyond to make sure your time in Morocco is as seamless as possible. Even after we had parted ways, he was always welcoming to answer our questions, offer advice, and even helped me figure out how to ship a rug home! Trust me, having someone like Ali in your camp can make or break your trip to Morocco. Would highly, highly recommend. Thank you Ali for truly the best service, we hope to be back sooner than later!

Great Experience, Superb Hospitality & Organisation Ali looked after us so well from the moment we arrived very hot and sweaty, to the day we left he went out of his way to ensure that we had everything we needed. He gave us the low-down on where to go and where not to go in Marrakesh and provided information about the local customs. We loved our chats with him about Moroccan life. His warm and welcoming personality make him the perfect host and we thoroughly recommend him. We'll definitely make sure that we catch up with him when we're in Morocco again.

Servizio top Spostarsi all’estero è sempre complicato ma il servizio offerto da Sunny Excursion è davvero di alta qualità. I punti di forza sono certamente la puntualità e l’efficienza degli operatori. Consigliatissimo

Amazing Ali is so helpful and so kind! He went out of his way to make sure me and my friend had the perfect time in Marrakech. Definitely someone you can trust! I am definitely coming again and booking excursions here!

All you need I traveled to Marrakech last year (May 2018) with 3 friends and we met Ali there. His practical tips have been really helpful! This year (March 2019) my parents and another couple went to Marrakech and Ali organized for them a camel ride and a trip to the mountains. They loved the trips!!! The driver was really nice to them and always on time. They also book a private transfer from airport to riad. The driver was at airport with a panel saying their names when they arrived. Really good service 👍🏼
