What to Pack for Your Moroccan Adventure
Packing for Morocco requires some thought, as you'll likely encounter a range of climates and cultural norms. Here is a guide to help you pack smart.
Clothing
- **Modesty is Key:** Morocco is a conservative Muslim country. Both men and women should pack loose-fitting clothing that covers the shoulders and knees. This is respectful and also practical for sun protection.
- **Layers are Your Best Friend:** Temperatures can vary drastically from day to night, especially in the desert. Pack layers like t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, a fleece or sweater, and a light jacket.
- **A Scarf or Shawl:** Incredibly versatile for women. It can be used to cover your head when entering a mosque, for extra warmth in the evening, or as a dust shield in the desert.
Footwear
- **Comfortable Walking Shoes:** You'll be doing a lot of walking on uneven surfaces in the medinas.
- **Sandals or Flip-flops:** For relaxing at your riad.
Essentials
- **Sun Protection:** A wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen are non-negotiable.
- **Medication:** A basic first-aid kit with pain relievers, band-aids, and any personal medications.
- **Power Bank:** To keep your devices charged on long travel days.
