Consider exchanging some currency before your trip or using an ATM upon arrival.

Sun Protection:

Comfortable Clothing:

Opt for lightweight, breathable clothing suitable for walking. Loose-fitting cotton shirts and pants are ideal for the warm weather. Consider bringing a light scarf or sarong to cover your shoulders when visiting religious sites, as a sign of respect for local customs.

You’ll be doing a fair amount of walking throughout the tour, so pack comfortable shoes with good support.

Camera:

Language:

Arabic and Berber are the official languages of Morocco, but French is widely spoken in tourist areas. Learning a few basic phrases in Arabic or French will enhance your experience and allow you to interact with locals in a more meaningful way.

Staying Hydrated:

Staying hydrated is crucial, especially in the warm Moroccan climate. Carry a reusable water bottle and fill it up regularly. Opt for bottled water or water that has been boiled and cooled to avoid stomach upset.
