Has any of the forum members been to Marrakech for Christmas? Just wondering if people dress up for Christmas dinner. I am going this year and want to make sure I take the right things!

I did this last year. The hotel was different to the one this year.

With regards to dressing up - it was mixed some did some didn't. I would say it's up to you!

The hotel we stayed at, the dinner was on Xmas eve.

Weather was really warm - in the late 20's.

The group was large - 32. On the "free" day, half the group wanted to site see. The local guide arrange a day

trip to "Casablanca"

Hope you have a good time

Thanks Anna for your reply. Glad to know that you do not really have to dress up if you do not want to. I will just go for smart casual. Looking forward to the trip and am pleased to know that it will be nice and warm.

Regards

My daughter and I went to Casablanca on the train, 3 hours each way and no light in our carraige on the way home 🙂 Luckily Sarah had downloaded a film on her i phone which we watched with a young Moroccan girl watching the screen with us holding onto my knee. Was a long trip, at least we could say we had been on the Marakech Express :thumbup:

Hi Jaya

I'm new to this site & a planning on going too. Have you travelled with JY before? It would be good to have someone to plan with, somehow less nerve racking. Any idea how much walking is involved? I'm just a bit worried about the reference to gradients and steps as, although I'm a bit arthritic.

Look forward to hearing from you

Hi,

I am also new to this site and trying to make a decision to book the Morocco trip, I see there are only 2 places left now.

I have never been on this type of holiday and a bit nervous, but I am determined to go away over xmas so will make a decision soon.

Look forward to reading other posts later

Hi Julia and Carol,

Julia, yes I have travelled with Just You before - Morocco Christmas trip will be my 8th. As to how much walking is involved, it all depends on the excursions though you only have to do as much as you can. When I went to Istanbul, Troy and Ephesus we had a lady who had both hips replaced and even though she was with us on all excursions, she did her own thing sometimes wandering on her own at her own pace rather than being with the Group all the time. I am sure you will be fine.

Carol, there is no need to be nervous when travelling with Just You. Everything is taken care of and to date I have found that everyone is friendly. You meet people of all ages and experiences and we all are in the same boat.

Hopefully see you both in Marrakech.

I did this trip last Christmas.

The itinerary is slightly different this year to last year.

The walking wasn't a "speedy" pace! Gradient fairly even and not much steps.

As Java said, you only have to do as much as you can.

It was my first holiday at Christmas time and I enjoyed it!

I have dithered too long and the Morocco trip is not showing, It must be fully booked, such a shame as I finally talked myself into it.

I will look at some of the other destinations and try to make my mind up, does anyone have any experience of the Cypres xmas beaks?

Hi Carol

It might be worth you calling customer services to see if there are any places left for the Morocco trip.

After my Christmas trip to Sicily was cancelled due to lack of interest, I am now going to Marrakech (3rd JY trip).

Looking forward to meeting you all.
