Can Morocco be combined with Spain or Portugal?
Yes—direct flights and ferries to Spain, plus good rail connections in-country make it easy to build multi-country itineraries.
Are private drivers/guides necessary?
Highly recommended for flexibility, efficiency and safety, especially outside the main cities.
What are the visa requirements?
Visa-free for EU, UK, US, Australia, Canada and many others (up to 90 days); always check for updates.
How safe is Morocco?
Generally safe for tourists; petty theft can occur, as in any destination—advise standard precautions.
How easy is it to accommodate special diets?
Vegetarian, gluten-free and other requests are possible—always confirm with suppliers in advance.
What about LGBT travellers?
Morocco is conservative; discretion is advised in public, though most international hotels are welcoming.
Are there child-friendly options?
Yes—family rooms, engaging guides, hands-on activities and flexible itineraries are available.
What are the main entry points and best routes?
Casablanca, Marrakech, Tangier and Agadir are the most common. Open-jaw trips allow for varied routes.
How is internet/mobile connectivity?
Reliable in cities and hotels; less so in remote regions. Local SIM cards are affordable and widely available.
How do you ensure authentic, non-touristy experiences?
Partner with DMCs who regularly inspect suppliers, offer local guides and access to less-visited areas.
Is English widely spoken?
French and Arabic are the main languages; English is commonly spoken in hotels and tourism, less so in rural areas.
Are there seasonal festivals or holidays to consider?
Yes—Ramadan, Eid, and a range of music and cultural festivals throughout the year. Check the calendar for annual dates.
What about alcohol consumption?
Alcohol is available in most international hotels, riads, high-end restaurants and some licensed bars. It’s not served everywhere—always check in advance, and be aware that public consumption is discouraged.
What should clients pack? Any essentials?
Lightweight, breathable layers for day and a warmer jacket for cool evenings (especially in the desert or mountains). A scarf or shawl is useful for sun protection, entering religious sites or covering up in conservative areas. Comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle are also recommended.
