Morocco Tours & Guided Trips in 2026

Travellers from 70 or so countries — including the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand — do not require a visa to enter the country. Most people will get 90 days upon arrival, though people from certain countries — including Hong Kong and the Maldives — only receive 30 days. For a complete list of visa requirements, head to the website of the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the embassy within your country.

Recommended vaccinations for Morocco include hepatitis a, hepatitis b, rabies, typhoid and tetanus.

The best time to visit Morocco tends to be during the spring (mid-March to May) and autumn (September to October) months. The weather is warm and comfortable and you’ll avoid the cold temperatures, snow and rain of the winter months and the blazing heat of the summer.

Morocco gets plenty of sun all-year-round, and coastal and northern areas tend to follow a Mediterranean climate. Temperatures here tend to hover around 30ºC during July and August, and winters tend to be fairly mild. Further inland near the Sahara, things are more extreme. Expect scorching temperatures during the summer months and surprisingly-cold nights. November to March tends to have the most rainfall.

Tipping isn’t mandatory in Morocco, though it’s normal to roundup the bill if you’re eating out or similar. A ballpark figure is around 10%, though if you’d like to give more, that will be more than appreciated.

In general, internet access in Morocco’s towns and cities is pretty good, though if you’re in more of a rural area, this might not be the case.

ATMs are widespread in Morocco, and they tend to have a maximum withdrawal limit of 2,000 MAD (approximately USD $200). Expect a withdrawal fee — contact your bank to find out exact charges.

Homosexuality is technically illegal in Morocco and punishable by prison time, though in reality this is rarely enforced. Use caution and common sense, and avoid public displays of affection.

Moroccan Arabic (known as Darija) is by far the most widely-spoken language in Morocco, though Berber languages are also spoken here too in many different regions of the country. Spanish is spoken by many in Tangier and Tetouan, whereas French is spoken on the coast in cities like Casablanca and Rabat.

Even though the water is chlorinated in large cities like Marrakech and Casablanca, it’s better to drink bottled water to avoid any unwanted stomach issues. In rural areas, definitely stick to bottled water.

As long as you understand the local laws, customs and regulations, then you’ll find Morocco a relatively safe place in which to travel. LGTBQ+-travellers should be wary to avoid any public displays of affection, and female travellers should try and avoid travelling alone. Earthquakes are also a risk so pay heed to any local warnings.
