Good to Know

Before you travel

Visa

It depends on your passport. Senegalese and Ivorian passports are visa-free, and Ghanaian passports need only an online authorisation (ETAM). Sierra Leonean and Nigerian passports usually need a visa in advance. We guide you through the application. See the visa guide by passport.

Health

No yellow fever certificate is usually needed for Morocco, but please check with your doctor before you travel.

Insurance

Comprehensive travel insurance is required for every booking. We can recommend a provider.

Best Time

March to May and September to November are warm and pleasant. Summer is very hot, and winter nights are cold.

What to Pack

Layers for warm days and cool evenings, modest clothing for medinas, comfortable walking shoes and something smart for dinners.

Make It Yours

Add a night in a Sahara desert camp, a visit to Chefchaouen, or a few days on the coast in Essaouira.
