Your smartphone or laptop for internet access

by angiebabe

I love having internet access on a regular or frequent basis and Moroco has certainly moved in leaps and bounds with internet provision. Many hotels and establishments dealing in service provision to tourists - even some camping grounds - now provide wifi - some still only in their reception area though and the odd one maybe still the slow variety but generally as prices have come down for contracts for businesses and the general public establishments are now more so able to wifi with great reception and great speed. So it worth having a device with you to enjoy internet access with - such as the Samsung galaxy s2 and s3 we use in Morocco - along with a laptop or netbook for storing and uploading photos of our travels into virtual tourist and facebook!Going off the internet cafe is fine as even their provisiion is generally very cheap - 2 dirham for an hour! and very fast. even in...

Light fleece and clothes to layer when cold or hot

by angiebabe

In all the different months throughout the year and seasons Ive been in Morocco Im no longer surprised at expecting diversity in temperatures and weather at pretty much any time of the year! Ive been in Marrakech in JUne which is mid summer - during the day can be 45-50' and suddenly at night it feel as cold as ice!...then back to its normal hot house sensations!Winters can be bitterly cold in many parts - especially desert or mountain areas - particularly at night but can be lovely warm tshirt temperatures if you have sunshine during the day - bringing clothes to layer Ive always found the best way to go - blouses or shirts that can be worn over a tshirt and a fleece or jacket over that and layer up or layer downthink about layering up and down with your shoes/footwear as well....spring, summer and autumn Ive generally found sandals or mule type shoes the best to wear to cope with the...

Trouble Sleeping !

by windcity

Ear Plugs It is possible that where ever you stay you will not be far from a mosque in which case you are likely to be in ear shot of the the muezzin calling the faithful to prayer. Sometimes it sounds delightful but at 4am might cause you to wake from a deep sleep. Be prepared, Take earplugs.

Voltage and All Dat Noise

by JamalMorelli

Nsha'allah, you should be just fine if it does read 125-250; e.g., my Powerbook Mac adaptor reads 100-240 - and so - works as well as it did in New Orleans as it did in Manchester and as it did in Fes. - it is a wide sliding scale between those voltages. LOOKOUT: It is when there is only one voltage on your appliance/charger/television/etc that you should perk up and find out what your hotel is operating at... COMFORT: however, the sliding scale V is, as the poet says, a good thing.By the by, if something sad like a radio of yours does blow up... the electrician/repairman's costs are so wonderfully low that you might want to take advantage of the cheap service. bring the items with that offer the wide berth of V, baby.

Toilet Rollssssss!!!!

by blint

Toilet roll: It's a rare sight in morocco!!!!!! Bring as mush as you can. It's always useful but more so if you fall ill!!. But please remember not to throw it down the hole in the ground as it may couse plumbing problems. Many times there is a bin there.

Take a Compass

by Conspirator

I love to explore on foot, and so always carry a compass, but it's even more helpful in Morocco. Some of the old medinas - most notably in Fes - really are labrynths and you will not find any good maps (or, in Fes, even street signs). a compass can really help you retain at least some sense of where you're going.I use this little sucker from REI. It's under 10 bucks and weighs nothing.

Preparing for Filming or Shooting pt 1

by JamalMorelli

On the DVX100: That particular camera is small enought to go under the radar as being a professional camera - what the police call good cameras. And although this may be obvious, bring the receipt for the camera. The only times I have found myself futzing around with the police for long intervals were during questions of importing/exporting expensive items to/from Morocco: Having all your receipts and traveltimes helps to speed up those generally stressfree (but long) encounters.

Imlil and Provisions

by JamalMorelli

provisions: Imlil has everything you need in terms of provisions - if you need to arrange to have any belongings carried up the mountain by donkey, this can be arranged at your convience in Imlil. You have a choice of cheap hotels in Imlil, all of which are decent and have restaurants that are more than willing to prepare whatever food you give them as well as the standard tajines, etc. Also, you can rent gear - trekking shoes, extra jackets, etc. in Imlil as well.

Sleeping bag or no?

by JamalMorelli

Should you bring a sleeping bag for hotels? No. Even chumpy budget hotels with the bugblood on the walls will give you extras. If you decide you want one after all - and you are in Marrakesh, Fes, Casablanca, etc. - hop in a taxi and say "Marjane" - they will take you to a Wal-Mart style mall that has what you need.(Extra on sheets and hotel: And if you don't like the smell of your sheets, get them to get new ones, pronto - if they don't refresh your blankets, leave.)

Summer traveller, dress light

by JamalMorelli

(Originally for Volubilis, but applicable to any hot place without shade) Depending, this will just be a day trip so don't bring much. Pack water and snacks. And look, I really recommend bringing an umbrella to provide shade for you. Light loose flowing clothes... Roll of toilet paper (always) Definitely bring a camera here... I will say water again - don't get gouged when you are waterless in the middle of nowhere at a food and water stall.
