FAQ About Travel to Morocco

Morocco is generally considered safe for tourists. However, like any destination, it’s essential to exercise caution and be aware of your surroundings. Stick to well-traveled areas, follow local advice, and stay informed about any travel advisories.

Most tourists can enter Morocco without a visa for stays of up to 90 days. However, it’s crucial to check visa requirements based on your nationality before traveling. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date.

The official currency of Morocco is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD). It’s advisable to exchange currency at official outlets or banks for better rates. Credit cards are widely accepted in urban areas, but cash is often preferred in rural locations.
