CHOICE OF HOTELS
No hotel in Ouarzazate is big enough to accommodate all MDS
competitors.
Groups are often organised by nationality for those enrolled
with AOI’s representatives. This makes it easier to transfer
competitors by bus to the airport to get flights home. In
fact some have to get up at 4 a.m. for the transfer. For
the last few years our English representative The Best Of
Morocco has decided to take care of hotel accommodation after
the race for its British competitors. These people are no
longer AOI’s responsibility once back in Ouarzazate. |
