Yes, Morocco is generally safe for tourists. Like any destination, it’s essential to exercise caution and be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded areas and tourist spots.
The best time to visit Morocco is during the spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) when the weather is mild and pleasant. However, each season offers a unique experience, so it depends on your preferences.
While Morocco is a relatively liberal country, it’s respectful to dress modestly, especially in more conservative areas. For women, it’s advisable to wear loose-fitting clothing that covers the shoulders and knees. Men can typically dress casually.
Desert tours can vary in duration, ranging from a single overnight excursion to multi-day adventures. Popular options include one-night or two-night trips, allowing you to experience the beauty of the desert without committing to an extended journey.
Moroccan cuisine is diverse and flavorful. Some must-try dishes include tagine (slow-cooked stew with meat or vegetables), couscous (steamed semolina served with meat and vegetables), pastilla (a savory pastry usually filled with pigeon or chicken), and harira (a hearty soup often served during Ramadan).
Morocco offers a range of accommodations to suit every budget and preference, including luxury resorts, boutique hotels, riads (traditional Moroccan houses converted into guesthouses), kasbahs (fortified traditional homes), desert camps, and budget-friendly hostels and guesthouses.
