  • Morocco is a Muslim country, so for ladies: avoid sleeveless tops and overly revealing shorts. Just be conservative in general. Better safe than sorry (or stares)!

    Cap/visor/sunglasses are recommended even in the winter months of December and January. tTe climate is dry so there're very, very few cloudy days and you may get more sunshine than you bargained for.

    Sunblock is a good idea too, especially if you're taking the Sahara desert trips.

    I brought a tripod and found it very useful for taking long exposure shots at night of Jmaa el Fna. The street scenes are fantastically energetic so this is a must-pack item for photography buffs!

    There are lots of women in Marrakech who walk around in shorts / mini skirts & vest tops, especially in the Ville Nouvelle part, and they never seem to have any trouble whatsoever... However, I prefered to cover up my shoulders, legs and hair while having a wander through the old medina and most women travellers we met felt the same.... Just something to bear in mind when your deciding whether or not to take your favourite cardi!!!

  • This is an Islamic country and it is required that ladies cover up, if you don't you will feel conspicuous. Covered shoulders and long shorts or skirts and trousers.
    Some good walking shoes with grip if you intend to take a trip into the mountains

    PACK FOR HOT CLIMATE
    Morocco can be very hot, especially from March to October, so don't forget to bring some light clothes, T-Shirts and shorts.
    Bring some warm clothes too, if you are planning to go to the desert (it get's really cold at night), and some long trousers if you want to visit mosques and religious buildings.

  • Everyone there is really really really into Soccer, especially Real Madrid and Barcelona. Wear your soccer jerseys, the locals and shop owners will quickly start up a chat and if you are lucky a better discount.

    Bring sunscreen and bug repellant

  • For women is advised to pack some scarf or pashmina to cover shoulders to avoid some unwanted attention.
