Morocco Holiday Packing List

Morocco is North Africa's most visited country — a heady mix of medinas, desert, mountains and Atlantic coastline. It's less than 3 hours from the UK but culturally a world away. Packing requires balancing the heat, the conservative culture, and the huge range of experiences from Marrakech souks to Sahara camping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should women wear in Morocco?

Morocco is more relaxed than many Muslim-majority countries but modest dress is strongly recommended, especially in medinas, rural areas and religious sites. Loose trousers or a maxi skirt with a top that covers the shoulders is practical and respectful. In tourist beach resorts, normal beach clothing is acceptable. Carrying a light scarf to cover up when needed is always useful.

Is Morocco safe for tourists?

Yes — Morocco is one of Africa's safest tourist destinations. The main issues are persistent touts and guides in major medinas (Marrakech, Fez) and occasional petty theft. Firm but polite refusals work well. Violent crime against tourists is rare. Solo female travellers should be aware of persistent unwanted attention in some cities.

What is the best time to visit Morocco?

March to May and September to November are the sweet spots — comfortable temperatures, lower crowds. Summer (June–August) is extremely hot inland (Marrakech regularly exceeds 40°C) but fine on the Atlantic coast. Winter is mild and good for the desert but cold in the mountains. Ramadan is a fascinating time to visit culturally but restaurant hours are reduced.
