With regard to thefts in Morocco
We didn’t have any robbery problems in Morocco, but if we’ve heard other people complain about this. We know people who have suffered petty theft, of these who you don’t realize, but we’ve also heard other people suffer robberies with violence.
It is best to travel with little cash, carry prepaid cards like Bnext’s, don’t carry your mobile and wallet in the same place, and if possible carry some money in your pocket. If they want to rob you, you give him the pocket or you give him the wallet and you keep the money out of his pocket.
On our case that we travel with camera and laptop, we hire the insurance to Morocco that also covers the computer equipment in case loss or theft.
Delays, cancellations and loss of luggage
If you like us travel with low-cost companies, you’re likely to experience delays or cancellations on your flights. We were passed on the return from Marrakech to Madrid we were delayed a couple of hours. In this case nothing happens, because it is very small. But it is always advisable to add to your insurance of travel to Morocco coverage in case of delays, cancellations and loss of luggage.

For your trip to Morocco
Weather: What is the best time to travel to Morocco?
What good of Morocco is that it has a climate to travel at any time of the Year. According to my preferences the best dates are in spring and autumn, even in winter. It’s too hot for my in summer.
Us we have traveled to Morocco on the December long week end (end of November, early December) and the truth that the temperature was a marvel, nor very hot, not too cold. It was very nice.
Yes you like surfing, summer will be your best time to travel along the coast of Morocco.
What you’ll have to keep in mind is when Ramadan is celebrated. Since many shops will be closed by the day
Currencies: How to pay in Morocco?
The official currency in Morocco is the Dirham. The change to this day is 1st are 10.84 MAD, according to xe.com. (although a lower change is usually applied than this usually page).
On your trip to Morocco you’ll be able to pay in cash in Dirham, although there are many places that accept dollars and euros, the change they make to you is usually not very favorable.
Pay in cash
As I mentioned you can pay in cash everywhere. Besides, it’s their preferred form of them. By paying cash you can haggle pretty much everywhere.
You can travel with Dirham from Spain or your current country, for this we recommend changing in RIA financial. Or you can exchange money there, you consider the prize quote so you don’t get scam you.
Pay by debit or credit card
In hotels and restaurants you can pay by credit or debit card, but it depends on the card you use you can have bank fees. We recommend you to travel with the Bnext prepaid card, to save you the commissions.
Another thing about paying with cards, is that in many places you don’t Accept. Especially in small or rural shops.
Taking money out of the cashier
You can withdraw money from the ATM with your Bnext card without fees. If you don’t have it, let the bank know that you’re traveling to Morocco and don’t have your card blocked for purchases you can make there. Also find out about any fees they may charge you.
How do I move around Morocco?
To move around Morocco you have several options, you can rent a car, travel by plane, by train, by taxi, by bus or by hire a guide.
Car. If whenever you travel you rent a car because you like to drive everywhere, this may be your best option or you travel with your car from Spain. But keep in mind that in Morocco the roads are quite dangerous, because of the traffic, because of the lack of signage, because you will find people and also animals.
The documentation you need to enter by vehicle and drive in Morocco is to provide the following documentation: driver’s license, driving licence, international insurance or green card, D16Ter vehicle import form to be filled in at customs with owner’s details, passport number, frame identification, vehicle model and make, license plate and registration date.
Professional guide. We are very fan of driving anywhere, but in Morocco we hired a professional guide with an SUV who took us everywhere. He know the area perfectly and he also told us interesting things about the places we were visiting. For me it was the best option, on my next trip to Morocco, I’m sure you’ll choose the same. Besides, it’s cheaper than you can imagine.
Plane. For longer distances, the aircraft is always the best choice. We arrive in Marrakech by plane from Madrid, but if you also want to visit other more secluded places you can make internal flights.
Train. This is a way I love to travel, although I have not tried it in Morocco. In this country there is a railway network that connects the main cities. It is a convenient way to travel around Morocco.
Taxi. This is an option for your short journeys. My recommendation is that you close the price of the trip before you start it or you have to ask them to turn on the meter. In Morocco it is quite easy to find people who want to scam you or who take advantage of tourists.
Bus. If you’re on budget, this is the cheapest way to get around Morocco.
Mandatory and recommended vaccines
In Morocco there are no mandatory vaccinations that you have to wear before your trip. Although some are recommended, such as Hepatitis A and B, typhoid fever, cholera and tetanus.
On the case that you’re not sure what vaccines you need or want to order information to an expert, you have to go to the International Vaccination Center, there they will advise you, recommend the vaccines and also put them on you.
In this link you have the vaccination centers that are in Spain, choose the one that is closest to your home.
I hope your trip to Morocco will be unforgettable and don’t forget to travel with travel insurance!
