EUNOIA CHAPTER IV: NORWAY
NOVEMber 16 - 20, 2026
We’ll be staying across two riads, Riad 42 and Riad Tzarra, located just a one minute walk from one another.
Throughout the retreat, we’ll spend time together as a group in both riads, enjoying the different spaces and coming together for meals, experiences and time to connect.
OUR TWO RIADS
Wednesday will be sunny with a high of 88°F (31°C) and a low of 63°F (17°C).
Thursday brings partly cloudy skies with a high of 87°F (31°C) and a low of 64°F (18°C).
Friday stays partly cloudy at 87°F (31°C) and 62°F (17°C).
Saturday follows the same pattern at 86°F (30°C) and 62°F (17°C).
Sunday turns mostly cloudy and a little cooler, with a high of 81°F (27°C) and a low of 61°F (16°C).
Weather Forecast
MONEY & Cash
Upscale restaurants and larger shops take cards, but the souks, small cafés, taxis, our riads, guides and tips run almost entirely on cash.
We recommend withdrawing or exchanging around $200 at the airport on arrival so you have cash from the start. ATMs are limited inside the medina and tend to be clustered near main squares and entry gates, so plan to top up when you pass one.
