Morocco

Morocco

Morocco packs a lot into short distances. Marrakech and Fes hold the old walled medinas and the souks, the High Atlas rises behind them, and the dunes at Erg Chebbi are a day’s drive further out. North and west you get the blue lanes of Chefchaouen and the Atlantic wind at Essaouira. Arabic and French are the working languages, and English is common wherever people travel.

Top places to visit

Landmark routes are built around places with history, texture, and enough time to take them in properly.

Travel tips

The essentials before you go. We confirm the current details with you as part of your booking. Always check the official source for the latest.

Visa

Many nationalities enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days, and others apply online before travel. Landmark handles visa support as part of your booking. Check the official portal for your passport’s current requirement.

When to visit

March to May and September to November are the most comfortable, with warm days and cool evenings. Summer is very hot inland at Marrakech and in the desert, though the Atlantic coast stays mild. Winter brings snow to the High Atlas.

Health

No vaccinations are required for entry from most countries, and there is no malaria risk. Tap water is best avoided outside hotels; bottled water is everywhere.

Safety

Morocco is used to visitors and the tourist routes are well worn. Expect persistent selling in the medinas, and dress modestly away from the coast. Check your government’s advisory before departure.

Money

The currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD) and it cannot be obtained easily outside the country. Cards work in hotels and larger restaurants; the souks are cash, and haggling is expected.

Getting around

Trains connect Casablanca, Rabat, Fes, and Marrakech, including a high-speed line up the coast. For the Atlas, the desert, and the smaller towns, Landmark arranges private transport.
