Thanks to all our clients, past and future, who have contacted us to see if we are OK. Happy to say that all our team and our regular drivers, guides and accommodation providers have survived - some damage to property, but all are alive.
Some have asked how they can help with the Disaster Relief efforts - please see my Facebook post below:

We are marooned on the desert island of Morocco! I can think of many worse places to be stranded and it is still relatively low level of virus spread.
But I am very sorry for those thousands of tourists who are desperately trying to get back home. Our clients included whom we are trying to assist. One of our drivers has even suggested they go and stay with his family in the Sahara until they can get on a flight!!! That is the style of our people!!
Needless to say our travel business and the livelihoods of our local partners and intrepid team of guides and drivers are being hit hard, right when this should have been our busiest season so far this year.

The Moroccan government has decided to suspend all international air routes to and from its territory until further notice.

15/03/2020

Flights between Morocco and the UK will be suspended from midnight tonight, Sunday 15th March. If you are a British national and need to get home, take action now to find out your options. Contact your airline urgently.

At the end of the tarmac road, heading south through the Draa Valley to the edge of the Sahara, is the village of M'Hamid el Ghizlane. I have been there many, many times...our business would not exist if it were not for the people we know in this village and who are now the foundation stone of the company. If you grow up in M'Hamid there are few career choices - work in tourism or join the military? Stay or leave? The nomad families of the Moroccan Sahara fight social deprivation, poverty and climate change in order to eek out a meagre existence.

Nomad families whose lives revolved around the seasons and the needs of their livestock, gave up and moved to villages and towns.
