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. For example, it covers 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. However, make sure your passport is stamped on entry. Some tourists have had difficulties leaving without an entry stamp. In addition, the Moroccan Consulate General in London advises on passport validity. Your passport should be valid for at least 3 months on your date of entry. It also shouldn't be damaged, because this has led to entry refusals.
At least 8 weeks before your trip, check the latest country-specific health advice. The National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC) publishes this on the TravelHealthPro website. It is also a condition of booking with Our Local Tour that you have adequate valid travel insurance. This must fully cover medical expenses and emergency repatriation, including medical emergency helicopter evacuation. Moreover, it must cover the entire duration of your holiday and all activities you intend to undertake, including optional activities.
What to Bring
Lightweight clothing is essential. However, a warmer jumper is advisable for cooler evenings in the mountains. A light raincoat is also a good idea. Lightweight comfortable shoes/trainers and sandals are ideal, and we recommend waterproof footwear.
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. For example, a soft wheely bag may be easier to manage than a suitcase. We also recommend a sunhat, sunscreen, a torch, insect repellent and a water bottle. Finally, we suggest a solar charger for your phone and other electronics.
While You're There
The Moroccan Dirham (MAD) is the local currency. Larger restaurants, hotels and some souk shops accept most major credit cards, especially Visa and Mastercard. ATMs are also available in larger towns. However, service can be erratic in smaller ones. In addition, travellers' cheques are best avoided.
Moroccan cuisine blends Mediterranean, Arabic, Jewish, Persian, West African and Berber influences. For example, it ranges from elaborate multi-course diffa feasts to quick roadside brochettes. Tagines are the national staple. In addition, 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. However, the law does not permit drinking in view of a mosque or during Ramadan. Waiting staff also expect a tip for satisfactory service. This is usually up to 5 dirhams on small bills or around 10% on larger ones.
Morocco has a diverse climate. The Mediterranean coast is warm, while the continental interior is hotter and drier. The south is hot and dry. However, night temperatures there can drop dramatically in December and January. Rain falls November to March on the coast. Meanwhile, 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.
