Top 10 facts you should know to visit Morocco

Culture, leisure, sport: discover everything you need to know about Morocco.
Morocco received 11.3 million tourists in 2018 alone, which was an increase of 8.5% over the previous year. However, going on vacation to Morocco , like any other destination, implies taking into account local customs, rules or habits of life.
Among others, the Kingdom of Morocco is a Muslim country and if you go to Tetouan, Chefchaouen or the Sahara desert , whether you are a man or a woman, you will have to respect customs . Plan clothes that are sober and cover you . Although the cities of Fez and Marrakech are used to tourists and accept western fashion, it is better to try to blend in with the landscape to avoid attracting attention.
Friday is the day dedicated to prayer for Muslims . Stores may adjust their hours or even not open. Also, it is not recommended to go out during Ramadan (May-June) because everything works in slow motion in cities.
Visiting Morocco is also learning to haggle in the souk and elsewhere. Moroccans have a reputation for being very welcoming, sometimes too much on the streets of the souk. Don’t be naive. His warm gestures and sympathy have only one purpose: to make you buy argan oil, a pair of slippers, or a plate of tajine.
In addition, we recommend that you respect some hygiene rules, such as not drinking tap water or rejecting ice cubes in any drink that you order in a restaurant. It usually makes you have poor digestion!
Finally, adopt a positive and open attitude , do not talk about certain topics (do not make anyone feel uncomfortable on the street) and show yourself as a “good tourist”, listening to Moroccans. After all, this is how it works!
