Question

Do I need to be vaccinated against COVID19?

Answer

Yes, you have to be up to date with all COVID-19 vaccines and boosters to enter the country as well as attend our wedding. For more info check out https://www.visitmorocco.com/en/travel-info/covid-19-travel-safely-to-morocco

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! We will be referring to this guide (https://www.brides.com/story/wedding-dress-code-explained) when talking about the individual styles for each portion of the event. Welcome Dinner (outdoors): Festive casual attire (bright colors, fun prints) It gets chilly/windy at night in Marrakech: we recommend cardigans, sweaters, blazers, jackets Ceremony & Reception (outdoors): Semi-Formal: Neutral tones including beige, tan, grays, khaki, light blue, light pink, mauve… off-whites are OK only if accompanied with light colorful patterns Shoes: Due to the terrain, dressy sandals, flats, low heels, block heels, and wedges are okay but no stilettos please! Men may wear dress shoes, loafers or nice sandals. Your lodging will be on-site so feel free to change into something warmer and more comfortable for the After Party so we can dance all night (gets even colder than Marrakech at night in the desert) Brunch (outdoors): Poolside attire: Kaftans, kimonos, maxi dresses, linen shirts, short sleeve button downs, sun hats. Bring swimwear if planning to swim! No color restrictions.

Question

What's the weather?

Answer

October in Marrakesh, Morocco has an average high-temperature of around 28°C (82°F), and the average low-temperature is 15°C (59°F).

Question

What should I pack for Morocco?

Answer

Treat it like a summer vacation and pack clothes that are comfortable and airy. Cotton and linen are highly recommended to deal with the dry heat. We also recommend having a sweater/light down jacket and long pants for the evening/night time when the temperature drops below 65.

Question

How will accommodations work?

Answer

We recommend finding accommodations within walking distance from Ksar Kasbah riad for the night of Saturday October 8th. Recommendations can be found on our website. Realistically, if you stay anywhere in central Medina you won’t be more than a 15-30 minute walk max from our welcome dinner location. For the night of the ceremony on Sunday Oct 9th we will be hosting everybody so you do not need to worry about accommodations for that night. We will conclude our festivities and return to Marrakech on Monday, October 10th in the early afternoon.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes, check out out the Travel section for hotel recommendations

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Yes all transportation from Marrakech to the camp and back will be pre-arranged for you.

Question

When/How should I get there?

Answer

Given that the welcome dinner is on Saturday October 8th in the evening, we recommend everyone get into Marrakech (RAK airport code) by the early afternoon at the very latest. That being said, we encourage everybody to fly in at least a day before to explore everything the city has to offer, get over the jetlag, and budget some time in case of flight delays/cancellations. There are plenty of direct flights to RAK from Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon, etc. so it may be easier/cheaper to route a flight to one of those cities & then purchase a separate flight to RAK from there.
