Couple questions: Proposals and anniversaries

How do you plan a surprise proposal in Morocco?

Tell us privately, early, and with one detail that matters to you. We plan the trip as normal and arrange the proposal moment quietly with your driver-guide and hosts, so your partner sees only a lovely dinner or sunset until the question. Use our enquiry form's proposal option, and tell us how we may contact you without spoiling it.

In more detail

Surprises work when the logistics are invisible. Our anniversary notes describe the approach: a private dinner set up where there was supposed to be none, a cake and a bottle waiting in the dunes, musicians at the riad, all handled between us, your driver-guide and the hosts so the moment simply happens.

Choose the setting first: desert, rooftop, riad courtyard, mountains or coast. Then the timing: a sunset needs the day planned around it, and a desert proposal needs the right night of the trip. Tell us about the ring too, so we can suggest how to keep it safe and hidden on travel days.

Think about the moment after. Many couples want a photographer nearby for an hour, a call home from somewhere quiet, or simply a long dinner. Let us know, and we will make sure there is time for it rather than an early start the next morning.
