Morocco Travel FAQs

Citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Canada, Australia, and many other countries can enter Morocco visa-free for stays up to 90 days. A passport valid for at least six months from your entry date is required. Travelers from other nationalities should consult the nearest Moroccan consulate for current visa requirements before booking.

The local currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD). Activities, restaurants, spas, nightclubs and transfers are paid on arrival: you reserve online for free and pay the local provider on the day. Hotel and riad stays are paid online in full when you book. Desert camps are reserved online, then we email you a secure link to pay in full.

The most pleasant months are March to May (spring) and September to November (autumn), with mild temperatures across cities and the Atlas Mountains. Summer (June to August) is hot inland, especially in Marrakech and the desert, but ideal for Atlantic-coast destinations like Essaouira and Agadir. December to February brings cooler days and snow in the High Atlas, perfect for trekking or quieter medina exploration.

Modern Standard Arabic and Amazigh (Berber) are the two official languages. Darija, the Moroccan Arabic dialect, is the spoken everyday language. French is widely used in cities, business, and tourism; English is increasingly common with younger Moroccans and in tourist areas. MaJourneys guides operate in English, French, Arabic, and Amazigh on request.

Morocco is one of North Africa's safest destinations and welcomes over 13 million visitors per year. Standard travel precautions apply: keep valuables secure in medinas, agree on taxi fares before departure, and use registered guides. Solo female travelers visit comfortably with sensible dress at religious sites. The 24/7 tourist police hotline is 19 from any phone in Morocco.

Cities are connected by ONCF trains (Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, Marrakech, Tangier) and the Al Boraq high-speed line between Tangier and Casablanca. CTM and Supratours run intercity buses to smaller towns. Within cities, petits taxis are metered for short rides; grands taxis run shared inter-city routes. MaJourneys can arrange private transfers and driver-guides between any two cities.

Pack modest layered clothing, long sleeves and trousers are appreciated in medinas, religious sites, and rural areas, while shorts are fine at coastal resorts. Bring a light jacket year-round for desert nights and mountain altitude. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for medina cobblestones. Sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, and a scarf (useful in mosques and the Sahara) round out the essentials.

MaJourneys is a Morocco-based team connecting travelers with verified local providers. Reserving an activity, a table or a transfer is free, and you pay the provider on the day. This keeps more of your spending in the local economy and lets you see the experience before you pay. Stays are the exception: hotels and riads are charged in full when you book, and desert camps are paid by a secure link we email you. Our team coordinates every booking on WhatsApp.

Yes. Activities are paid on arrival, so cancelling one is free and takes seconds: message us on WhatsApp or use the link in your confirmation email. We ask for at least 24 hours' notice when possible so the local provider can re-allocate the slot. Stays are paid online, so their cancellation and refund terms come from the property and are shown before you pay. Last-minute changes (date, group size, pickup point) are usually accommodated when you message us early.
