Essential Travel Info Morocco

What to think about when planning a photo trip to Morocco.
Morocco is a Muslim country and travellers are asked to respect the culture and traditional ways by dressing modestly and to refrain from drinking alcohol when asked, especially in the mountain villages.

British Nationals don't need a visa. Nationals from other Countries should check their own requirements. Allow time for any vaccinations you might need. Please check with your doctor and bring a medical kit that meets your personal medical needs together with a basic first aid, sterile medical kit, remedies for travellers diarrhoea and medicated hand gel. There is no electricity on some holidays - please check carefully if you require, for example, a fridge to keep any medication.  We are on hand to share our own experience but for medical advice please refer to your Nurse or Doctor. It is a good idea to carry a Doctors prescription with your for prescribed medication.
