You might wonder if Morocco is expensive for travel - but in fact there are a number of budget-friendly ways to get around. It's important to remember, though, that public transport is limited, and so travelling to very remote areas can be more challenging and potentially more expensive.
Overall, the cost of traveling to Morocco can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per person, depending on your travel style and preferences. Whether you're a family, couple, or single traveler, expect to spend anywhere from $500 to $5000 for a trip to this captivating country.
Depending on what you plan to do, you should probably aim to take around £40-£50 per person per day (£280-£300 per week) in Morocco. You can always head to the ATM if you need more cash for extra activities, plus most places accept credit cards.
A piece of advice: Morocco is not expensive so even if you visit during the high season, it won't really cost a lot. I just prefer to travel to Morocco during the low season because there are fewer tourists. I even spent a whole month of Ramadan here because I was traveling slowly.
Morocco is quite a liberal country in comparison to other Muslim nations, but there are still some important differences to bear in mind if it is your first time here. Is Morocco a dry country? Morocco allows the consumption of alcohol. Alcohol must be purchased and consumed in licensed hotels, bars, and tourist areas.
Due to taxes, alcohol in Morocco is very expensive compared to most places in Europe. A small 25cl domestic beer will cost between 25 – 35 MAD (€2.50 – €3.50) in a bar. A 33cl bottle of local Casablanca beer will cost 45 – 60 MAD (€4 – €6) when purchased in a bar.
Since Moroccan dirhams aren't available outside of the country, you'll be fine to take British pounds with you, ready to exchange once you arrive. If you'd rather not carry cash, you can take our Travelex Money Card with you.
When is the best time to visit Morocco? The best time to visit Morocco is during spring (mid-March to May) or fall (September to October). The weather is warm but pleasant, unlike the cold temperatures and snow of winter, or the scorching heat of summer. The coastal regions can be visited year-round.
You need to consider how long you were guided for – whether it was for a couple of hours, half a day or a full day, or more, and of course how much you enjoyed the experience. Remember, you have already paid for the service itself, but we suggest tipping 100 – 150 dirhams for a full day.
Marrakech is an inexpensive city compared to any top tourist destination in Europe or the United States. Most of your budget will be destined to the flights and accommodation, since the price of food, drinks, souvenirs, museums and other attractions are relatively cheap.
While female travellers aren't expected to dress as conservatively as local women, it's still a good idea to pack clothing options that will allow you to cover up. In the main cities, you can get away with wearing pants or a skirt that reaches below the knee, and a short-sleeved t-shirt.
British nationals don't need a visa to enter Morocco for the purpose of tourism for up to 90 days. British nationals who stay longer than 90 days need to go to a local police station to request an extension. When entering the country, make sure your passport is stamped.
For history and food, and rugs, and a certain level of comfort and convenience - spend weeks in Turkey. For sheer color and exotic experience, and stepping off the usual path, a week in Morocco would be well spent.
Each of these two cities has its own appeal. Marrakech dazzles with its historic charm and vibrant streets, while Casablanca offers a blend of modern dynamism and scenic beaches. Where you visit depends on your plans for things to do in Morocco.
According to Numbeo, the average daily cost of living in Rabat, Morocco is around $100 USD. This includes the cost of accommodation, food, transportation, and activities. For a 2-week vacation, you can expect to spend around $1400 USD, excluding the plane ticket.
In the major cities in Morocco, the tap water is chlorinated and will usually cause no harm, but it's still wise to either purify this water yourself or choose another water source, as your body may react to unfamiliar bacteria in the water, causing sickness or diarrhea.
Morocco has some beer and wine locally produced especially in the region of Meknes. While beer, whiskey, and cocktails are more commonly found in bars and restaurants, especially in urban regions and popular tourist locations, wine is the primary alcoholic beverage produced in Morocco.
In Morocco, it's illegal to: preach a religion other than Islam or import religious materials that don't relate to Islam. perform acts or make statements that criticise or denigrate the monarchy. drink alcohol in public places.
Don'ts: Display Public Affection: Public displays of affection, such as kissing or hugging, are considered inappropriate in Moroccan culture. It's best to keep physical affection for private settings and show respect for local customs.
Yes you can wear shorts, as mentioned there's no dress code for Morocco specifically. You're more likely to find shorts being worn in coastal areas. Really short shorts are not advisable and to be honest, wearing loose fitting, longer pants is often much cooler than wearing shorts where a lot of skin is exposed.
