To travel to Morocco you always need a passport, valid until your departure date from the country. For travelers from Italy, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Brazil and many other countries, no visa is required for stays of up to 90 days.

In 3 days you can grasp the city’s soul—souks, gardens, and main monuments. With 4–5 days you can add day trips, such as the Ourika Valley or Essaouira. With a week or more, you can reach the desert and enjoy unforgettable experiences. We’ll be happy to help you plan your itinerary.

Daily life in Morocco runs mostly on cash, in dirhams and sometimes euros. Credit cards are accepted in many tourist establishments and larger restaurants, but not always in shops or small venues. Carrying some cash is the safest option.

Both options work. ATMs are numerous and convenient, but bringing euros and exchanging them locally often gets you a better rate.

Tipping isn’t mandatory, but it’s part of the hospitality culture and is warmly appreciated. A few coins at restaurants, 10–20 dirhams for a porter, 50–100 dirhams for a guide—small gestures that go a long way.

No, if your devices use the standard European two-pin plug (Type C or Type E/F): those are standard in Morocco, 220V at 50Hz.

Staying connected is easy. Free Wi-Fi is widely available and you’ll find it easily in cafés, restaurants, and even in several museums and attractions.
If you’d like to have internet with you at all times, local SIMs and eSIMs are affordable and reliable, and usually much better value than the travel bundles offered by European mobile operators.

Marrakech is welcoming and tolerant, but respectful clothing is appreciated, especially in the Medina and more traditional places. Women may wish to avoid very short or low-cut garments; knee-length skirts, T-shirts and light trousers work well. Men can keep it simple: T-shirts and shorts are fine.

As for the weather, days are usually pleasant, but temperatures can drop in the evening. In spring and autumn, light clothing plus a jacket for the evening is enough; in winter, bring clothes similar to a European autumn, with something warmer for mornings and nights. A light layer for the evening is a good idea even in summer.

Ramadan is the Muslim month of fasting, which shifts dates each year and lasts about 30 days. It’s a special period that makes the city’s atmosphere even more intense. Some restaurants and shops close during the day, though tourist venues usually stay open. Out of respect, avoid eating or drinking in public during daylight hours—but in the evening everything comes alive, and the experience is unique.

Yes, Marrakech is welcoming and safe. As in any large city, keep an eye on your belongings and avoid isolated areas at night, and you’ll move around with peace of mind.

Choose official taxis: petit taxis for getting around town, grand taxis for longer distances. Always ask to switch on the meter or agree on the fare before setting off. Carry small notes and change to make payment easier. Alternatively, ask us—we’ll be happy to arrange private transport.

Yes, with some rules. Not all restaurants in the Medina serve alcohol, though several do. In the newer districts, such as Gueliz, you’ll find bars, restaurants and licensed supermarkets selling alcohol. Remember it is not permitted to drink in public spaces such as streets or squares.

The great classics include the Jardin Majorelle with the Yves Saint Laurent Museum (book online at least 24 hours ahead—slots fill up fast), the majestic Palais Bahia, Palais El Badi with storks on its ramparts, the splendid Medersa Ben Youssef (recently restored) and the Koutoubia Mosque, a city symbol (exterior only).
It’s also worth taking a walk through the Kasbah, the historic district around the Royal Palace, and the Mellah market, lively and authentic. Riad Zitoun Street leads to Place des Ferblantiers, full of small workshops and local restaurants.
Outside the Medina, the Menara Gardens and the ancient Agdal Gardens are well worth a visit, both UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Lesser-known but special spots
If you’re looking for quieter, more original corners, we recommend Le Jardin Secret, a peaceful oasis with beautiful gardens and a panoramic terrace. Among the small museums not to miss are Maison Tiskiwin (when it’s open), with its ethnographic collection by Bert Flint, and Maison de la Photographie, with its welcoming rooftop terrace. The Orientalist Museum, behind the Medersa, suggests the evocative Maison Denise Masson in the Bab Doukkala district.
Also worth a stop is the refined Musée des Confluences, housed in an old palace with a much-loved art-deco café (booking recommended to avoid waiting).
For cultural gatherings, visit Dar Cherifa, a 16th-century palace turned literary café with exhibitions, concerts and events.

Just before Le Jardin Secret you’ll find Aziz’s boutique, with thoughtfully selected clothing and jewelry. If you need directions, Bachir will be happy to guide you—say you’re coming from us for a special welcome.

An iconic address is Moustapha Blaoui (Bab Doukkala): behind a large wooden door lies a surprising world of carpets, furniture and objects—best explored slowly, room by room.

Yes: avoid raw vegetables from street food stalls and don’t drink tap water. Choose bottled water—it’s a simple precaution that prevents discomfort.
