Pack Light, Baby...

by JamalMorelli

It's Fes - if it's hot, you don't need much. And if it's cold, buy clothes here. Fes has the greatest crafts on average than any other city, and among these is making clothes. (And yes, they are cheap) Bring a roll of toilet paper everywhere with you, ladies and gents. Bring two. Bring anti-diarrhea medicine with you. Bring ibuprofen if you don't like aspirin. Bring your own brand of tampons. Bring a fit body. Digital cameras that fit in your purse - don't get bogged down! There are plenty of places to immmediately get your pics put onto a CD or print. You can buy tents inexpensively at the Marjanes and just give them away before you leave (or try selling them for souq fun)If you bring them however you can insure the quality in a way Moroccan tent culture can't.

What I needed

by meaganelizabeth

If you run out of bags, large leather weekend bags are an amazing 50 - $100 , which is amazing. comfy walking shoes, sandals. Ladies! Long sleeve shirts! Loose shirts and pants of cotton. Men stare at you and in casablanca, stop you. Wear loose clothing to avoid this. Some tourists even cover their hair.

PASSPORT

by johnsakura

Please, dont forget your passsport! without it you cant come into the country, even telling you lost it and you wish to make a new one in Rabat or Casablanca. I met 2 french guys and one just left his passport on his other pants at home, can you believe it?(on the picture some moroccan stamps on my old passport)

Things to bring

by johnsakura

normal bags, prepare to get them dirty if you're traveling to the desert. sand infiltrates everywhere. for backpackers the usual backpack is ok. if your driving, you can take more stuff with you. bring old stuff to exchange with people. you can make pretty good deals in the south. sun cream for the strong sun. pils for the stomach and intestines. aspirins, liquid alcohol, bandages for little cuts, protect your films with aluminium paper. you can buy films in major cities altouhg you dont know if they are ok and what kiind of transportation they had before (maybe 20 hours under the sun?) if you're coming with your own veicule bring whatever you think it will make you happy while camping. after you'll see you didnt use half of the stuff of course ha.

Packing List

by Kettleman

Pack your own bags and do not let anyone touch them, do not let anyone carry them for you. If you are going to do any At least Sun Protection Factor 20 sun cream! In sandy area keep your camera in a plastic bag and make sure you clean the lens properly with an air canister rather than with a cloth. Sunglasses! In summer the sun refelcting off the sand can be very bright. Always have decent sunglasses.Water! If you are strayng off the main roads. Have water with you.

What I'm taking with me to Morocco:

by cheyberspace

I bought a hiking backpack during the summer, it's cheap but well-made. The design is for women, with a smaller set of shoulder straps and waist clips, which I recommend for comfort. I also purchased additional velcro webbing (about $10 for a big roll) which i used to attach my sleeping bag to the underneath of the pack. The velcro is strong enough to hold a person, and can be found in most adventure/ camping/ hiking stores. Very helpful for extra space. If I need extra room for shopping items i'll just buy a cheap bag there! Concerning clothes for women:I went to the local thrift stores and found several loose, cotton skirts in plain colors, khaki and brown. They are ankle-length, and have elastic waists for comfort. Skirts with slits on either side or the back are helpful for walking, as long skirts can be restrictive.For pants I have a two pairs of light khakis, loose-fitting and...
