Check out our Q&As

Is it safe to travel to Morocco?

Yes. Morocco is a safe country for travelers. Morocco is a safer travel destination than most of the rest of the world, based on the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report published by World Economic Forum 2019. In addition, a trip to Morocco can be entertaining for all members of the family due to its various attractions and things to do
What is the dress code for Morocco?

NO DRESS CODE required for either the men or women. Feel free to wear what you wish! The only exception is when entering a mosque (equivalent of a church) you need to be fully dressed and remove your shoes upon entering.
How is the locals’ (people living in cities, villages, etc.) behavior towards foreigners?

Moroccans are known for their hospitality. They are very friendly towards travelers from anywhere in the world and will kindly welcome you. Almost everywhere you go Moroccans will often approach you to ask you where you are from and welcome you to their country. You can experience the world-famous Moroccan hospitality in every city.
Can I use credit cards in Morocco?

Yes. You can use all major credit cards at ease (Master card, Visa, American express etc…) However, you may need to inform your bank before traveling to ensure your cards work abroad. While larger establishments in Morocco often accept credit cards, smaller shops and markets may prefer cash, and could accept dollars and Euros. In Morocco, cash remains widely used and preferred.
Do I need travel insurance?

It’s highly recommended to obtain travel insurance before your trip. Check if your health insurance covers medical care abroad, as most destinations require travelers to pay for medical expenses out of pocket. Consider additional insurance for health care and emergency evacuation, especially for remote areas. Types of travel insurance include trip cancellation, travel health, and medical evacuation coverage. Enroll in the Traveler Program of your own country to receive travel advisories and ensure assistance in emergencies.

Do I need any vaccinations before I travel to Morocco?

While vaccination requirements for travel are typically a personal decision, it’s important to note that Morocco does not mandate any vaccinations. However, some individuals opt to follow CDC recommendations and get vaccinated against diseases like rabies and hepatitis (A & B). Despite this, travelers to Morocco generally haven’t encountered significant health issues.
How about COVID-19?

Starting April 5th, 2023, Moroccan authorities have lifted all restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, Morocco has reopened its borders to visitors from all around the world.
Is food and water safe in Morocco?

Moroccan cuisine is renowned for its diverse flavors and aromatic dishes, featuring staples like couscous and Tagine. Fresh fruits and vegetables are readily available, including oranges, dates, tomatoes, olives, and eggplants. While produce may not be as processed or packaged as in the West, it’s generally safe to eat, often washed thoroughly or treated with lemon or lime juice. Travelers are advised to stick to bottled water to avoid contaminants, although tap water is usually safe for brushing teeth. Overall, experiencing Moroccan cuisine and its abundance of fresh produce is a key aspect of visiting this culturally rich country.
Will my cell phone work in Morocco?

Yes, your own cell phone will work in Morocco but can result in hefty roaming charges. Instead, it’s far more cost-effective to purchase or bring a basic cell phone and obtain a local SIM card with a local number. This can cost around USD $20 and includes the phone, SIM card, and talk time. It’s advisable to inquire at your hotel or with your tour guide for assistance in acquiring a local cell phone. This not only saves money but also adds another interesting travel experience to your trip.
Dollar/Euro vs. Dirham

The Moroccan Dirham has remained stable over the past 14 years, averaging around 12¢ per Dirham. Banks in Morocco typically exchange dollars and Euros for Dirhams at the daily exchange rate. When using credit cards in Morocco to withdraw money from ATMs, expect to receive Dirhams, and be mindful of potential fees charged by your bank.
No Visa Needed

Countries all around the world have different conditions for travelers entering their country based on their nationality. Travelers from the United States of America, Canada and most Western European countries need NO VISA and NO COST to visit Morocco due to political agreements between them and the government of Morocco in order to attract travelers. All you need is a passport (the passport should have at least six months of validity, beyond the actual travel date).

A Dream Come True

23-Sep-2024

I’ve always wanted to visit the Sahara, and this tour made it a dream come true. Our guide was fantastic, the vehicle was comfortable, and the stops along the way were perfectly timed. The desert camp was cozy and authentic, and seeing the sunset over the dunes was something I'll never forget. A wonderful balance of adventure and culture!
