Morocco is a sensory journey that involves historic cities and dramatic landscapes. Casablanca is well known for the striking Hassan II Mosque. Fes pulls you deep into history with its labyrinthine medina, traditional tanneries, and centuries-old craftsmanship. In Marrakech, travelers discover riads with courtyards and rooftops, plus the bustling souks within the walled Medina. The Atlas Mountains slow the pace with scenic views, Amazigh villages, and mountain air. Venture even further by exploring the infamous Sahara Desert, the blue-washed mountain town of Chefchaouen, or the windy beach city of Essaouira.
Expect richly layered culture, bold flavors, and days that balance guided exploration with quiet moments of reflection. Morocco rewards curiosity with a destination that feels both timeless and alive.
Need to know
Practical details will ensure a respectful and memorable trip to Morocco. Become familiar with local customs and expectations. Understand the differences with the Islamic calendar, and the effect on holidays and business closures. Bring a power adapter if coming from North America.
Currency: Morocco uses the Moroccan Dirham (MAD). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and shops in bigger cities. Cash is essential for souks, small cafés, and rural areas. ATMs are available in cities, but carry local currency in rural areas. Tipping is customary in restaurants and for guides, usually 5–10%.
Languages: Moroccan Arabic and French are the main languages, with Amazigh spoken in rural and mountain regions. English is increasingly common in tourist areas, but learning a few key phrases go a long way with Moroccans, who value politeness, greetings, and hospitality.
Key phrases: salam/as-salaam alaykum (hi/hello), beslama (goodbye), afak (please), shukran (thank you), smahli (sorry), al'afw (excuse me), wah/la (yes/no).
Airports: Casablanca (CMN) is the main gateway, with flights to North American hubs like New York, Toronto, Miami, and Los Angeles. Marrakech (RAK) offers connections to Montreal, plus seasonal routes to Newark and Atlanta. Europe is well connected to both airports, as well as Fes (FEZ), Agadir (AGA), Rabat (RBA), and other cities across Morocco.
Transportation: Navigating is straightforward, and a guide can streamline the experience. Internal flights are best for traveling between major cities like Casablanca, Marrakech, and Agadir. The Al Boraq high-speed train connects northern cities, while ONCF links Marrakech and other destinations. Trams and taxis are common in cities, including Casablanca and Rabat.
Best time to visit: A year-round destination, experiences are shaped by its varied destinations. Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) offer the most balanced conditions, with mild temperatures ideal for exploring medinas, the Atlas Mountains, and the Sahara. Summer (June–August) brings intense heat, though coastal cities are hot but breezy. Winter (December–February) is generally mild along the coast, snowy in the High Atlas, and crisp in the desert, creating beautiful conditions for trekking, stargazing, and quieter travel.
Ideal length of stay: Thanks to more nonstop flights, a Moroccan city can be enjoyed with a long weekend stay. A trip of eight to 10 days allows visitors time to experience multiple cities with either the desert or the mountains at a comfortable pace. With more time, experience all three while also adding the coast for a slower, more immersive journey.
Signature dishes and drinks:
Tagine: Slow-cooked stews of meat, fish, or veggies with saffron, cinnamon, and lemon.
Couscous: Steamed semolina served with seasonal vegetables, meats, or seafood.
Pastilla: Savory-sweet pie with spiced poultry or seafood, almonds, and a dusting of sugar and cinnamon.
Lamingtons: Chocolate-and-coconut–coated sponge cake.
Harira: Tomato, lentil, and chickpea soup, often served during Ramadan or as a starter.
Atlantic seafood: Fresh sardines, sole, or calamari, grilled or tagine-style.
Chebakia: Deep-fried rose-shaped pastries coated with honey and orange blossom water syrup, then topped with sesame seeds.
Mint tea: Sweet, fragrant herbal tea poured with flair.
Coffee: Strong and spiced, sometimes with orange blossom water.
Juices: Freshly made from locally grown oranges, pomegranates, and figs.
What to wear: Light layers and breathable fabrics for daytime sightseeing; polished casual or smart attire for evenings. Modest coverage is recommended for religious sites. Comfortable shoes are essential for medinas, markets, and mountain walks.
Travel tips:
Visa: Many nationalities can enter Morocco visa-free for short stays, but check requirements in advance.
Safety: The Moroccan sun can be intense, come prepared with hats, high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and light protective clothing. Be sure to drink bottled water.
Medications: Bring prescriptions in original packaging, as not all U.S. medications are available locally. Pharmacies in cities are reliable.
Shopping: Bargaining is common in markets and souks, but do so politely.
Alcohol: Legal drinking age is 18, and sold in licensed restaurants, bars, and select shops. Public drinking is not permitted, and respect for local customs is expected.
Smoking: Banned in many indoor public spaces; follow local signage in restaurants, hotels, and transportation.

History and culture
Morocco’s cultural history spans thousands of years, shaped by Indigenous Amazigh (Berber) communities. Their deep connection to the land still infuses daily life, art, and storytelling. Over centuries, traders and travelers from Phoenician, Roman, and Arab civilizations brought influences that made Morocco a crossroads of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. The rise of historic imperial cities like Marrakech and Fes introduced grand palaces, intricate medina architecture, and lively souks that remain vibrant community centers. Islamic artistry flourished, expressed through calligraphy, zellige tilework, and the daily rhythm of prayer.
Today, travelers can experience these living histories across the country. In the High Atlas and Sahara, Amazigh heritage continues through music, seasonal festivals, and a respect for ancestral customs. The red sandstone walls of Marrakech’s old city, the spiritual resonance of the Hassan II Mosque, and the UNESCO-listed medina of Fes showcase Morocco’s layered past. Morocco’s history is not just preserved in monuments, but in the rituals, hospitality, and pride shared by the communities who call it home.
