Going on a trip to Morocco requires a certain amount of preparation.
Our pre-departure info will guide you through all the necessary steps to facilitate a seamless and enjoyable travel journey. From visa requirements to packing tips, we cover everything you need to know before you depart.
Make sure you have the correct visa and travel documents before travelling to Morocco. Most Europeans, North Americans and many other travellers can enter Morocco without a visa for up to 90 days for tourist purposes. Always check with your nearest Moroccan consulate for the latest information.
Check with your healthcare provider for recommended vaccinations and health precautions. While Morocco is a safe destination, it’s important to follow regular travel health advice, such as drinking bottled water and using sun protection. Check here for the latest health advice.
Packing properly can make your trip much more comfortable. Basics include:
Be aware of local customs and dress modestly. Greetings are important in Moroccan culture, and a simple “salam alikome” (hello) can go a long way. Tipping is customary and small tips for various services are appreciated.
The local currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD). Inform your bank of your travel plans to avoid any problems with your credit or debit cards while abroad. Currency exchange is convenient at banks, official exchange offices or in the Medinas, though it’s advisable to compare rates. Budget for daily expenses, including meals, entrance fees and souvenirs, to manage your travel budget effectively.
Keep a list of emergency contacts, including the embassies/consulates of your home countries in Morocco. It’s wise to register your travel plans with them in case of emergencies. In addition, our guides are equipped to assist you in interacting with any Moroccan authority or hospital should the need arise, ensuring you receive timely and effective assistance throughout your journey.
