Travel Morocco Tips

✔ Morocco is an Islamic country. And it is important that as travelers we respect local norms and traditions. It is always a good idea to dress conservatively and avoid areas that aren’t popular for your first trip to Morocco.

✔ Popular tourist destinations include Marrakesh, Fes, Casablanca, Chefchaouen, Tangier Rabat, Essaouira, etc.

✔ When you visit Morocco, you will be visiting market set ups or souks that are centuries old. Fes el bali is the oldest medina in the world, also houses the oldest University and the tannery. It is also a place to experience traditional hammam or a camel safari or relax and unwind in a riad (traditional home).

✔ Morocco is safe over all for tourists to visit. We had a great time in the country. Allot enough time for each city, so that you are not rushed. Buses and trains are safest for traveling from one city to another – but they take a lot of time (due to the distance, so consider that into your traveling plans).
