Good to Know
Travel Information
Safety, Passport, Visa and Health Information
We strongly recommend that you check your government’s travel advisory for up-to-date information and advice about your destination: safety and security, entry requirements, health, local laws and customs. For UK citizens, check the latest Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office advice for Morocco.
British nationals don't need a visa to enter Morocco for tourism for up to 3 months – make sure your passport is stamped on entry, as some tourists have had difficulties leaving without an entry stamp. The Moroccan Consulate General in London advises your passport should be valid for at least 3 months on your date of entry, and shouldn't be damaged, as this has led to entry refusals.
At least 8 weeks before your trip, check the latest country-specific health advice from the National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC) on the TravelHealthPro website. It is a condition of booking with Our Local Tour that you have adequate valid travel insurance, fully covering medical expenses and emergency repatriation, including medical emergency helicopter evacuation, for the entire duration of your holiday and all activities you intend to undertake, including optional activities.
What to Bring
Lightweight clothing is essential, though a warmer jumper is advisable for cooler evenings in the mountains, and a light raincoat is a good idea. Lightweight comfortable shoes/trainers and sandals are ideal, with waterproof footwear recommended.
Please allow yourself one main piece of luggage and a day-sack – you're expected to carry your own baggage, so don't overload yourself; a soft wheely bag may be easier to manage than a suitcase. We also recommend a sunhat, sunscreen, a torch, insect repellent, a water bottle, and a solar charger for your phone and other electronics.
While You're There
The Moroccan Dirham (MAD) is the local currency. Most major credit cards, especially Visa and Mastercard, are accepted in larger restaurants, hotels and some souk shops, and ATMs are available in larger towns, though service can be erratic in smaller ones – travellers' cheques are best avoided.
Moroccan cuisine blends Mediterranean, Arabic, Jewish, Persian, West African and Berber influences, from elaborate multi-course diffa feasts to quick roadside brochettes – tagines are the national staple, and Djemaa el Fna square in Marrakech is famous for its after-dark street food stalls. Alcohol laws are fairly liberal for non-Muslim visitors in tourist areas, though drinking in view of a mosque or during Ramadan is not permitted by law. Tipping waiting staff is expected for satisfactory service, usually up to 5 dirhams on small bills or around 10% on larger ones.
Morocco has a diverse climate – a warm Mediterranean coast, a hotter, drier continental interior, and a hot, dry south where night temperatures can drop dramatically in December and January. Rain falls November to March on the coast; the shoulder seasons of April-May and September-November are the best time to avoid extremes of heat. Morocco uses type C, E and F plugs, on a 220-240V supply.
