Cultural Tips
It is polite for women to dress appropriately for the Islamic culture. Short sleeves rather than bare arms, modest neck-lines and knee-lines rather than plunge neck-lines and short shorts (except on beaches).
Morocco is a ‘dry’ country. Alcohol is available in up-market hotels, or you can import 1 litre of wine (or take it with you in an unmarked bottle).
