- Passports must be valid for 6 months. Visas not necessary for UK passport holders. Other nationalities should check with the Moroccan embassy
- Electricity is 240v and European plug adaptors usually work
- Whilst insects aren't a big problem worth taking mosquito repellents particularly in the Mountains/Dessert in the summer. Most areas of Morocco are malaria free
- Ramadan September 2-26, in 2008 but this should not change your travel plans as all the tourist activities are fully operational and there is a great atmosphere in the evenings when the fast is broken and everyone takes to the streets
- Currency - It is difficult to get Moroccan Dirham in the UK but no problem using a UK cashpoint card when there. Also easy to change cash (Pounds, Dollars or Euros)
- Clothing. The temperature varies enormously depending on time of time/year and location. It can be cool in the mountains or on the coast even in mid summer so worth taking an extra layer.
- Driving Licence. Photocard type UK driving licence is accepted by car rental companies

- Morocco has a Muslim dominated culture and whilst friendly please respect their sensitivities. Women in particular should dress conservatively when out in public especially the old towns (Medinas). No problems with sunbathing by pools or on beaches but toplessness is unacceptable.
- Time difference - None it is the same as UK
- Phone code dial 0044 or +44 for a UK number. The Moroccan international code in 212
- Prices. Rumours abound that you should never pay asking prices and should haggle.but never tried it myself..
- Respect for the King. He is hugely popular and it could cause offence to make comments about the royal family in the way that happens in the UK
- Dining out. There are fantastic restaurants of all different budgets but there are tourist traps as well. The best advice is to book with us and then we'll give you our latest recommended list..but you have to book first!
- Vegetarian food - Lots of excellent salad and vegetable based cous-sous and tajine dishes available
