Tipps

1) Morocco is a Muslim country which implies a great importance to the clothes worn. For women, it would be better not to wear clothes too short, not to show too much legs or shoulders. It could attract the attention of many people and show a lack of interest in the customs of the country.

2) Learn a few words of the local language will take you (literally) three minutes and Moroccans will really appreciate your efforts

3)Dealing can be as stressful as it is fun. For Moroccans, bartering is a social interaction and a way of life so don’t stress!

4)Bottled water is your best friend, forget everything that comes out of the tap and pay attention to street food. The ways of cooking are not the same as in western countries. Eating in restaurants is the best way to avoid losing a day of your trip to bed with stomach aches.

The conclusion
In conclusion, Marocco is a land who can interest a lot of different people.
