There are no mandatory vaccines to enter the country or any prior treatment required.

It is recommended to be vaccinated against hepatitis A and B, as well as tetanus and diphtheria.

The best months to travel to Morocco are March, April, May, September, and October. The ideal time to visit the country is during spring or autumn. The best time to visit the desert is between October and May.

The official currency of Morocco is the Moroccan Dirham (DH or MAD). It is recommended to exchange currency at authorized establishments such as exchange offices, banks, or some large hotels that have exchange offices.

Yes, it is possible to withdraw money with a VISA or MASTERCARD bank card from an ATM within the country. This operation usually requires the payment of fees that are variable. It is usually more expensive to withdraw money with the card than to exchange cash directly.

Although in big cities the culture of paying with cards is very common, in most rural it is not used. Therefore, in cities credit card is permitted in some establishments such as hotels, large stores, etc. In rural areas, we will need cash.

The official languages of the country are Amazigh and Arabic.

Classical or literary Arabic is mainly used in administration. The oral language of the population is Darija (Moroccan dialect), which is a mixture of Arabic, Amazigh, French, and Spanish.

We recommend having travel insurance when travelling as unforeseen events can occur. In Morocco, food washed with tap water can cause illnesses such as gastroenteritis, which is why we also recommend always drinking bottled water. The country has public hospitals and private clinics, but in any case, they are paid for tourists. That is why having travel medical insurance is highly recommended.

In any case, we believe it is essential to bring a small first aid kit to have on hand in case of need. Stomach protectors and oral rehydration salts will be good allies to keep in mind.

If you come from Spain or other EU countries, a power adapter it is not necessary.

Lightweight and breathable footwear and clothing during the day and a jacket and closed-toe shoes at night. Temperatures at night both in the desert and the Atlantic coast can vary greatly. It is important to consider the weather forecast and bring a jacket in your backpack for when the sun goes down.

In the summer, bring cool and lightweight clothing that also protects you from the sun.

In the winter, warm clothing, thermal wear, and thick socks will protect you from the low temperatures.

In Morocco, we can find wifi networks in most hotels and cafes. To have a connection throughout the day, we recommend buying a rechargeable SIM card with a Moroccan mobile number. This will allow us to make calls within the country and stay connected to the network as long as there is coverage.

The available companies in Morocco are Orange (Meditel), INWI (Wana), and IAM (Maroc Telecom), and we can obtain a prepaid SIM card in many establishments and shops.

Fixed phone numbers start with the numbers 05, and mobile phone numbers start with 06. The country code for calling Morocco is +212, and for calling Spain it’s +34.

The option to use our own phone number is possible, but we do not recommend it. By activating roaming before changing countries, we can use our usual phone number since the companies in Morocco have agreements with our company. However, the cost is very high, and we will be surprised by the exaggerated prices for calls and connectivity when traveling to other countries where prices vary.
