FAQs Answered by Kingdom Morocco Tours

Welcome to Morocco! We at Kingdom Morocco Tours are thrilled to help you plan your unforgettable journey. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions to get you started:

Before You Go: Preparation & Essentials

Do I need travel insurance?

Absolutely! Morocco is generally safe, but unexpected events can happen. Good medical travel insurance is crucial to cover any medical costs, especially if you have pre-existing conditions.

Be sure to declare everything honestly on your application.

Is Morocco safe?

Morocco is a safe and welcoming country for tourists. While petty crimes like scams and pickpocketing can occur, violent crime is rare.

Stay aware of your surroundings, and you’ll likely have a very positive experience.

What should I wear as a woman?

While Morocco is a Muslim country, there’s no need to completely change your style.

Opt for loose-fitting clothing that covers your shoulders and knees to respect local customs and avoid unwanted attention.

Do I need a visa?

For stays under three months, many nationalities don’t require a visa. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your entry date.

Always double-check the current list to see if your country is included: Algeria, Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Brazil, Chile, Congo (Rep), Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Guinea (Conakry), Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Italy, Ivory Coast, Japan, Kuwait, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Korea(Rep), Kuwait, Libya, Liechtenstein, Mali, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Norway, Oman, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Romania, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela.

Can I drink the tap water?

We recommend sticking to bottled water, especially if you’re not used to the local water. It’s a simple precaution that can save you from potential stomach issues.

 

Money Matters

What’s the currency? Can I use USD/EUR?

The Moroccan Dirham (MAD) is essential for daily transactions.

While some tourist spots accept Euros, US Dollars, or Sterling, you’ll get the best rates and widest acceptance with Dirham.

ATMs are readily available in major cities. It’s a good idea to inform your bank of your travel plans to avoid card issues.

Where can I get Dirham?

Airport exchange bureaus, banks, and hotels offer Dirham exchange. ATMs are the most convenient and often offer the best rates.

Consider getting some Dirham before arriving in smaller towns, as ATMs can be scarce.

 

Food & Connectivity

Vegetarian/Vegan/Gluten-Free Options?

Absolutely! While meat is common, Moroccan cuisine offers plenty of delicious vegetarian dishes.

Gluten-free options are also becoming increasingly available, especially in Marrakech, Casablanca, and Essaouira.

Is Wi-Fi available?

Yes, Wi-Fi is widely available in cafes, restaurants, hotels, and airports. However, signal strength can vary.

 

Important Considerations

Can I bring a drone?

Unfortunately, no. Drones are currently prohibited in Morocco and will be confiscated at the airport.

 

Shared Desert Tours

Are they for me?

Our shared desert tours are budget-friendly and a great way to meet fellow travelers.

  • If you’re flexible, easygoing, and not overly concerned with minor details, you’ll likely enjoy them.
  • If you prefer a more personalized experience, our private tours are the way to go.

2-Day Zagora Tour: Is it worth it?

If you only have two days, Zagora is your only desert option.

However, be prepared for a lot of travel time. Zagora is a rocky desert with limited sand dunes.

Are Shared Tours Guided?

Yes, our English and French-speaking drivers, who’re also your official guides, are fantastic at keeping you safe and entertained and answering questions.

What if the minimum participants isn’t reached?

Don’t worry! Our shared tours are guaranteed to depart daily, regardless of the number of participants.
