Traditional Moroccan cuisine is plentiful in rich flavours and aromas. Some must-try dishes include tagine (slow-cooked stew), couscous (steamed semolina grains), pastilla (a savoury pastry filled with meat and spices), and harira (a hearty soup often served during Ramadan). Don’t forget to indulge in Moroccan sweets like baklava and mint tea, a popular drink much loved throughout the country.

The best time to visit Morocco is typically during the spring and autumn months when the weather is mild and comfortable for exploring. Summer can be hot, especially in inland areas, while winter can bring lovely cooler temperatures, particularly in the Atlas Mountains and desert regions.

Morocco is generally considered safe for tourists. The country has a well-established tourism industry and welcomes millions of visitors each year. However, we always recommend doing plenty of research before visiting a new country, know the local customs and traditions, and be street smart and aware of your surroundings.

The official languages of Morocco are Arabic and Berber. French is also widely spoken, particularly in urban areas and among the popular tourist destinations. While English is less commonly spoken, many people in the tourism industry, such as hotel staff and tour guides, have basic proficiency in English, making communication relatively easy for travellers.

Moroccan culture is deeply rooted in Islamic traditions and customs. Visitors should dress modestly, particularly when visiting religious sites or more conservative areas. It’s essential to respect local customs, such as removing shoes before entering someone’s home and using the right hand for greetings and eating. Additionally, public displays of affection should be kept to a minimum, especially during Ramadan.
