Health & Safety

Morocco is a safe destination for travelers. Here's what you need to know to stay healthy and safe during your journey.

Before You Travel

  • • Consult your doctor 4-6 weeks before travel for health advice
  • • Ensure routine vaccinations are up to date
  • • Consider Hepatitis A and Typhoid vaccinations
  • • Bring adequate supplies of any prescription medications
  • • Purchase comprehensive travel insurance (required)

Food & Water

Moroccan cuisine is delicious and generally safe when eaten at reputable establishments. Our recommendations:

  • • Drink bottled water (widely available)
  • • Avoid ice in drinks unless at high-end establishments
  • • Eat freshly prepared, hot food
  • • Wash fruits that you peel yourself
  • • Street food is part of the experience—we'll guide you to safe options

Sun & Heat

Morocco can be hot, especially in summer and in desert regions. Stay hydrated, use sunscreen (SPF 30+), wear a hat, and take breaks in the shade. Our itineraries are designed to avoid the hottest parts of the day during summer months.

Personal Safety

Morocco is welcoming to tourists. Common sense precautions apply:

  • • Keep valuables secure and out of sight
  • • Use hotel safes for passports and extra cash
  • • Be aware of your surroundings in crowded areas
  • • Our guides know the areas well and will always prioritize your safety

For Women Travelers

Women travel safely throughout Morocco. Modest dress is appreciated, especially in traditional areas and religious sites—covering shoulders and knees is recommended. Our female guests consistently report feeling welcome and comfortable, particularly when traveling with our experienced guides.

Medical Facilities

Major cities like Marrakech, Fes, and Casablanca have good private hospitals and clinics. Pharmacies are plentiful and pharmacists are often multilingual. Our 24/7 support means you'll always have help if you need medical assistance.
