1. Clothing

Morocco is a conservative country, so dressing modestly is recommended, especially for women.

  • Lightweight, breathable clothing – Cotton and linen fabrics will keep you cool in the heat.
  • Long-sleeved tops and trousers – For sun protection and cultural respect.
  • A scarf or shawl – Useful for covering up when visiting mosques or religious sites.
  • Comfortable walking shoes – Essential for exploring medinas and uneven terrain.
  • A light jacket or sweater – Evenings can be cool, especially in the desert or mountains.

2. Travel Essentials

  • Passport and visa (if required) – Check entry requirements before traveling.
