Everything you need to know before visiting the Kingdom of Morocco. A land of tolerance, hospitality, and timeless beauty.
Most travelers (including citizens of USA, Canada, UK, EU, Australia, and New Zealand) do not require a visa for stays up to 90 days. You simply need a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of entry.
Morocco is a year-round destination. Spring (Mar-May) and Autumn (Sep-Nov) offer the most pleasant temperatures across the country. Summer can be very hot in the Sahara, while winter brings snow to the Atlas Mountains.
Cash is king in Morocco. While hotels and large restaurants accept cards, you will need Dirhams for souks, taxis, and small cafes. ATMs are widely available. Tipping (10%) is customary and appreciated for good service.
Morocco is generally a very safe country for tourists. Violent crime is rare. The main annoyance is "faux guides" or aggressive shopkeepers in medinas. A firm but polite "No, thank you" is usually effective.
Morocco is a Muslim country with strong traditions of hospitality. Dress modestly when outside your hotel (cover shoulders and knees). Always ask for permission before taking photos of people.
Staying connected is easy. You can buy a local SIM card (Maroc Telecom, Orange, or Inwi) at the airport or in cities for very cheap prices. 4G coverage is excellent, even in many remote areas.
