Visa requirements may change, for the most up-to-date information we recommend using our Entry Requirements tool. Alternatively, check the Moroccan embassy website in your country of departure.

Recommended vaccinations for Morocco include hepatitis a, hepatitis b, rabies, typhoid, and tetanus.

As advice can often change, you can check out our Entry Requirements tool for the most up-to-date details on vaccination requirements.

The best time to visit Morocco tends to be during the spring (mid-March to May) and autumn (September to October) months. The weather is warm and comfortable and you’ll avoid the cold temperatures, snow, and rain of the winter months and the blazing heat of the summer.

Morocco gets plenty of sun all-year-round, and coastal and northern areas tend to follow a Mediterranean climate. Temperatures here tend to hover around 30ºC (86°F) during July and August, and winters tend to be fairly mild.

Further inland near the Sahara, things are more extreme. Expect scorching temperatures during the summer months and surprisingly cold nights. November to March tends to see the most rainfall.

While on tour in Morocco, it is customary and even expected to tip small service providers like restaurant and bar waiters, hotel staff, reception, cleaning personnel, bellboys, taxis, and van drivers. Tips are seen as an essential means of supplementing income for tourism industry workers.

To make things as easy as possible and avoid embarrassing situations, G Adventures uses a tipping kitty system where your CEO collects a contribution from everybody at the start of your tour and uses it to tip anybody providing services to the group as a whole. On Day 1 of your tour, your CEO will share the amount needed from everybody to form the tipping kitty for your trip.

At the end of your trip if you felt that your G Adventures CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is also expected and appreciated. The precise amount is entirely a personal preference; however, USD $8-11 per person, per day is a general guide.

In general, internet access in Morocco’s towns and cities is pretty good, though if you’re in more of a rural area, this might not be the case.

ATMs are widespread in Morocco, and they tend to have a maximum withdrawal limit of 2,000 MAD (approximately USD $200). Expect a withdrawal fee — contact your bank to find out exact charges.

Cash is recommended for times when ATMs are not accessible. Euros, British Pounds, and US Dollars are all easy to exchange into the local currency in large cities.

As currency exchange rates can fluctuate often we ask that you refer to www.xe.com for daily exchange rates.

Homosexuality is technically illegal in Morocco and punishable by prison time, though in reality this is rarely enforced. Use caution and common sense, and avoid public displays of affection.

As part of their commitment, all CEOs receive LGBTQ+ inclusion training so every traveller feels respected and welcomed on all of our tours. We commit to making our tours a safe and inclusive place for people to express their authentic selves without judgment, free from any discriminatory language or harassment.

While travelling with G Adventures, all travellers must treat each other with dignity and respect to create an environment that is positive, safe, and where everyone feels welcome. You can find out more via our LGBTQ+ travel page.

Moroccan Arabic (known as Darija) is by far the most widely spoken language in Morocco, though Berber languages are also spoken here in many different regions of the country.

Spanish is spoken by many in Tangier and Tetouan, whereas French is spoken on the coast in cities like Casablanca and Rabat.

Even though the water is chlorinated in large cities like Marrakech and Casablanca, it’s better to drink bottled water to avoid any unwanted stomach issues. In rural areas, definitely stick to bottled water.

Please note however that all drinks provided on our tours are safe to drink (including drinks with ice), as well as the water in most hotels and restaurants visited on the tour. If in doubt, please ask your CEO for further information.

As long as you understand the local laws, customs, and regulations, then you’ll find Morocco a relatively safe place in which to travel. LGBTQ+ travellers should avoid public displays of affection, and female travellers should try and avoid travelling alone. Earthquakes are also a risk, so pay heed to any local warnings.

G Adventures takes all reasonable measures to ensure your safety and enjoyment while travelling with us. All of the included activities are properly vetted and regularly checked by us, and we take great care in choosing the right transportation, stays throughout your trip, and guides to lead your tour. However, there are always inherent risks when travelling — you can find out more via our travel safety page.
