Visa Requirements
For many of our readers, a visa for Morocco isn't required for stays up to 90 days. We always recommend checking the latest requirements with your specific embassy or consulate well in advance of your trip, as regulations can change without much notice.
Malaria
Morocco is largely considered a low-risk country for malaria. We've travelled extensively there and haven't encountered significant concerns. There are very isolated, low-risk areas, primarily in some southern regions, though these are not typically on main safari routes. We don't generally recommend malaria prophylaxis for most travellers to Morocco, but it's always best to discuss this with your travel doctor, especially if you have specific health concerns or are visiting very remote, less-travelled areas.
Travel Insurance
We cannot stress enough the importance of comprehensive travel insurance. It's not just a recommendation; we consider it essential for any safari adventure. Ensure your policy covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and crucially, emergency medical evacuation. While Morocco has decent medical facilities in major cities, getting to them from a remote desert camp or a high Atlas Mountain pass can be challenging. We always opt for policies that include air evacuation, just in case. Read the fine print to understand what activities are covered, especially if you plan on trekking or other adventure sports.

Travel Advisory
We find Morocco to be a remarkably welcoming and generally safe country for travellers. The people are hospitable, and we've always felt secure, even in bustling souks or remote desert camps. Like any popular tourist destination, petty crime like pickpocketing can occur in crowded areas, so we recommend keeping valuables secure and being aware of your surroundings. We always advise dressing respectfully, particularly when visiting religious sites or smaller villages, to honour local customs. When exploring the Atlas Mountains or the Sahara, always use reputable guides and tour operators. Their local knowledge is invaluable for navigating the terrain safely and understanding the environment. We've found that following local advice and exercising common sense goes a long way here.
