Prices are starting from euro 500 onwards…
Not-fishing accompanying persons, will have to pay 3/5 of the prices for fishing persons.

Please consult the representative of your country (without engagement) to know the possible dates and all the prices.
(See the ‘Arrangement’-section, on the site     www.moroccocarpfishing.com ,  
for the contact information of your ‘Morocco Carp Fishing – representative’).

Differently than in former years, the price for your arrangement is calculated depending on the starting and finishing fishing day. Your stay in the hotel is not price included. This is to be paid by yourself to the hotel manager. The price for an overnight stay, at the hotel, costs euro 20 per person. (euro 25 per person, from the 1st of January 2012 onwards). (A hot meal and breakfast included). All drinks, other than coffee, tea or water are not price included.

For Example: You arrive at Casablanca (or Marrakech) on the Saturday afternoon (or evening). You will be picked up at the airport and brought to the hotel. On the Sunday morning, you will be brought to the lake, all the necessary fishing tackle will be handed over to you and you can start fishing. The next week, on the Sunday afternoon, you stop fishing.
In the early evening, you will be brought back to the hotel. You will have a warm meal and after an overnight stay and breakfast, you will be brought back to the airport of Casablanca (or Marrakech), in the course of Monday.
The price for your fishing trip arrangement will be calculated as an 8 day’s fishing trip.
(From Sunday until Sunday, 8 fishing day’s, price euro 550)
The price for your hotel (to be paid by yourself, to the hotel manager) will be 2 x euro 20 = euro 40. The total price = euro 590.
(From the 1st of January 2012 onwards, the hotel price will be euro 25 per person, so the total price, in the example above, will be euro 600 per person.)
Your total traveling time = 10 day’s.

On the day of arrival at Casablanca (or Marrakech), you will be picked up at the airport. (Somebody with a sign ‘Morocco Carp Fishing’ will be waiting for you). With a taxi, you will be driven, direction lake ‘Bin el Ouidane’. (The ride takes approximately 4 hrs). Depending on the time of the day and the situation and of course, what you want yourself… you will be brought to the lake or to the hotel. The hotel is in the nearest village ‘Ouaouizerth’. (From the hotel to the lake, takes about 15 minutes by car).

In case you have been brought to the hotel, the following (early) morning, you will be picked up and brought to the lake. There, you will be supplied with the tackle and the latest ‘lake information’. After you have chosen your swim, you will be brought (with boat) to the swim(s). Upon arrival at the swim, our co-worker(s) will set up the tents (bivy’s) and the shadow shelter.

In case you have been brought directly to the lake… Upon arrival, you will be supplied with the tackle and the latest ‘lake information’. After you have chosen your swim, you will be brought (with boat) to the swim(s).
