A base for the desert

Ouarzazate has its own dialysis centres, which makes it the best base for exploring the south. Aït Benhaddou is about 30 minutes away. Desert trips to Merzouga or Zagora mean long drives, so we plan excursions on the days without dialysis. From Marrakech, the road over the Tizi n'Tichka pass takes about 4 hours; Ouarzazate also has an airport.

Documents to send before you travel

  • A recent dialysis report from your home centre
  • Your dialysis prescription (duration, dialyser, anticoagulation, dry weight)
  • Recent blood tests
  • Recent hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV serology, as required by the centre
  • A copy of your passport (bring the passport to every session)

Before you book, check with your nephrologist that you are fit to travel. Your home centre can prepare these documents for you.
