MOROCCO'S CALLING

You’ll be spending Moroccan Dirhams (MAD) in Morocco. Pro tip: You can’t bring them in or out of the country, so exchange or withdraw after you land.

Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) are *chef’s kiss*. Warm days, cooler nights, and fewer crowds = perfect vibes.

It’s a mixed bag, in the best way. Think hot desert days, cooler mountain breezes and sunny coastal chill. Summers can get VERY hot, especially inland but during the winter months, you’ll want to pack layers.

If you’re from the US, UK, EU, Australia, or New Zealand – there’s no visa needed for stays up to 90 days. As for other nationalities, you’ll want to check with your local embassy just to be sure.

ATMs are easy to find in cities and towns. Just make sure your card works internationally and tell your bank you’re heading on an adventure.

Yes, tipping is a thing. Round up in taxis, leave 10-15% at restaurants, and a few dirhams for hotel staff or guides is always appreciated.

A solid 10–14 days lets you soak up souks, surf, sand dunes and spice. Shorter trip? Focus on a few key cities. Longer? Lucky you.

Think layers, sunscreen, comfy shoes, a scarf or shawl for covering up at mosques, and a sense of adventure. Oh – and don’t forget your camera.

Locals do, but if you’ve got a sensitive stomach, you may want to stick to bottled or filtered water.

Wi-Fi is decent in cities and hotels, but don’t expect ultra-speedy downloads in remote spots. Grab a local SIM or eSIM if staying connected is a must.

Morocco uses Type C and E plugs (like most of Europe) and runs on 220V. A universal adaptor will have you covered.

Morocco is a conservative country, and same-sex relationships are criminalized. While many LGBTQIA+ travellers visit without any issues, it is worth being mindful of local customs. (Safety first, always.) Note that any and all 18 to 35s are welcome on all Contiki trips, regardless of who you are, how you identify and who you love.
