The best time to visit Morocco generally depends on the region you plan to explore. For most of the country, spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) offer pleasant temperatures, making it ideal for sightseeing in cities like Marrakech and Fes, as well as hiking in the Atlas Mountains. Summer (June to August) can be extremely hot, especially in the desert and inland cities, while winter (November to March) can be cool, with snow in the mountains and occasional rain.
The official currency of Morocco is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD). You cannot legally import or export Dirhams, so you’ll need to exchange money upon arrival. ATMs are widely available in cities and larger towns, and credit cards are accepted in many hotels, restaurants, and shops, though cash is preferred for smaller purchases and in souks (markets). It’s a good idea to carry small denominations of Dirhams for tips and street vendors.
Morocco is a predominantly Muslim country, and it’s respectful to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. For women, this typically means covering shoulders and knees, and avoiding overly revealing clothing. Loose-fitting trousers, long skirts, and tops with sleeves are good choices. Men should also opt for modest attire. In more touristy areas and hotels, dress codes can be more relaxed, but it’s always better to err on the side of caution.
It is generally not recommended to drink tap water in Morocco. While many locals drink it, visitors may be more susceptible to stomach upsets due to different bacteria. Bottled water is widely available and inexpensive, and it’s best to use it for drinking, brushing teeth, and even rinsing fruit.
While many Moroccans involved in tourism speak English, knowing a few basic phrases in Moroccan Arabic (Darija) or French can greatly enhance your experience:
My trip to Morocco with Ibra Travel Tours was absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the bustling souks of Marrakech to the serene beauty of the Sahara Desert, every detail was meticulously planned. Our guide, Youssef, was not only incredibly knowledgeable about Moroccan history and culture but also had a fantastic sense of humor, making every moment enjoyable. The accommodations were excellent, and the experiences – like riding camels at sunset and stargazing in the desert – were truly once-in-a-lifetime. If you’re looking for an authentic and seamless Moroccan experience, Ibra Travel Tours is the agency to choose!”
I cannot recommend Ibra Travel Tours enough! As a solo female traveler, safety and reliable organization were my top priorities, and Ibra Travel exceeded all expectations.
