WHAT SHOULD I WEAR

In Morocco, the local dress code seamlessly blends traditional Arab attire with European influences, creating a unique style often referred to as "Arabopean." As a discerning traveler preparing for an enchanting Moroccan experience, your choice of clothing may vary according to your planned activities and destinations.

For those looking to explore the cosmopolitan coastal cities, don a collection of sophisticated attire suitable for fine dining or an elegant evening stroll along the promenade. Casual, comfortable clothing, paired with well-fitting shoes, should also be included for daytime explorations.

Should your itinerary include an adventurous journey through Morocco's varied landscapes, prioritize comfort with clothing and footwear that will facilitate walking, driving, and the quintessential camel riding experience. Proper hiking or trekking gear should be considered if such activities are part of your planned adventure.

Women travelers may find ¾ length to short-sleeve shirts paired with full-length skirts or pants to be comfortable and culturally sensitive. While it's not obligatory for women to cover their hair, respecting local customs and preferences is always appreciated. Men in Morocco typically refrain from wearing shorts, except during sporting activities.

Lastly, don't forget to pack your swimsuits. Many of Morocco's hotels boast inviting pools, offering a delightful respite from your daily explorations.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET CASH

Managing Your Finances During Your Morocco Tour

In Morocco, you'll find modern banking facilities and ATMs readily accessible in all major cities. These ATMs typically accept a wide range of international cards including Visa, MasterCard, Cirrus, Maestro, Electron, and InterBank systems.

While touring Morocco's main tourist destinations, you'll discover that many hotels, restaurants, and established businesses accept major credit cards, subject to a nominal 5% charge. However, it's important to note that in smaller cities or towns, this might not be the case.

At Gateway2Morocco, we prioritize your comfort and convenience. Therefore, we advise our esteemed clients to maintain a ready supply of local currency during their trip. Having cash, including small change, facilitates seamless experiences such as taxi fare payments and discretionary tipping.

Our experienced team at Gateway2Morocco is always here to assist you in planning your finances during your trip. Trust us to help you navigate these minor details, so you can focus on the unforgettable experiences that await you in Morocco.

CAN I DRINK TAB WATER

We strongly advise against drinking tap water during your stay in Morocco. Although the tap water in larger cities and modern hotels may appear suitable for consumption, it often contains higher mineral concentrations than what you may find in North America. Moreover, it might be contaminated with various microbes or amoebas.

For the local Moroccan population, these elements might not cause any problems, as their bodies have adapted to them. However, for visitors to Morocco, consuming tap water can lead to discomforting illnesses such as upset stomach, diarrhea, or vomiting. Although these symptoms are typically mild, they can unfortunately disrupt a day or two of your well-planned vacation.

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip, we recommend opting for bottled water, which is widely available and reasonably priced throughout Morocco. Some popular brands include Oulmes (sparkling), Sidi Ali, and Ain Saiss Danone (still). Among these, we particularly recommend Sidi Ali for its pleasing taste.

By choosing bottled water, you can focus on immersing yourself in the vibrant Moroccan culture and landscape without the concern of potential health issues. At Gateway2Morocco, your health and satisfaction are our utmost priority, and we strive to create unforgettable experiences tailored to your preferences and needs.
