The same as what you would use in Europe. If you need to bring an adapter, we also recommend bringing a lightweight power board from your own country, so you only need to have one adapter for charging multiple things at once. A powerboard with USB ports is especially useful for this purpose. One powerboard can take less space and weight than numerous adapters.
It will come in handy for charging your smartphone or camera in situations where there is no power, such as camel trekking in the Sahara or travelling by train between cities.
One of the sad things we noticed about Morocco was the amount of plastic and rubbish on the roadside in the open desert areas and around the Atlas Mountains. Unfortunately, in a country like Morocco, where the average traveller will not be used to local water, buying bottled water is instinctive.
As more people are travelling now than ever before, bottled water is no longer sustainable for the environment. As the Moroccan Government have started to implement ways to reduce the rubbish issue, many hotels now supply filtered water to refill bottles. Or, for convenience, you can carry reusable purifying water bottles. A personal water bottle with an inbuilt filtration system like a Lifestraw water bottle works very well.
Or if you want something more compact, collapsible water bottles used with a stand-alone filtration straw work equally well. We all know the obvious reasons for travelling with earplugs. In Morocco, however, there are reasons for needing earplugs you may not consider. Morocco has some of the biggest and most beautiful mosques in the world, the Call to Prayer will play over loudspeakers five times a day. While there are few sounds more evocative, you may not feel that way at four in the morning.
Also, if you are planning to take the overnight train between Marrakech and Tangier you may welcome the quiet. We love reusable earplugs. Many not only reduce noise, but they also reduce aeroplane pressure and are more hygienic than the disposable foam variety.
They are also less likely to get lost like the disposable foam plugs tend to do. When travelling to foreign countries, it is always wise to prepare for the worst and hope for the best when it comes to health and personal requirements. Obviously, you will need to bring any medications you require with more than enough to see you through your trip.
It is also prudent to keep a copy of your prescription with you. It will also help if, for any reason, you require a refill. As basic medications go, you should bring the usual suspects with you from home.
Basics like Ibuprofen or aspirin. An antidiarrheal drug for precaution such as Imodium. And should you fall victim to a dodgy Tagine — Electrolyte tablets will go a long way to keeping you hydrated and feeling better. Especially in the hotter months. Consider bringing things like sunscreen or insect repellant from home as these items tend to be quite expensive comparatively in Morocco. We always travel with insect repellent wristbands. They are an excellent way to stay covered without having to use spray.
You can throw them in your luggage without having to worry about liquids or aerosols when you fly. Ladies, this is especially important when it comes to sanitary products. Never assume you will have easy access to or be able to find the products you normally use at home. Be prepared. Without a doubt, you will come across bathroom situations in Morocco that are less than ideal. The train springs to mind. Often, in Morocco, you will have to pay to use the bathroom which will include a small issue of toilet paper.
Sometimes there will be no paper at all. A small pack of travel wipes in your bag will come in handy more often than you think. A small bottle of hand sanitizer is essential no matter where you travel. We like the sanitizer bottles you clip to your bag. In Morocco, however, you will be confronted with occasions where you will have to eat with your hands. The Central Markets in Casablanca is one instance where a piece of crusty flatbread is given instead of cutlery. Again, you will be glad you have some wet wipes after lunch.
The most important travel purchase you should make is travel insurance. Disclaimer: Our articles may contain affiliate links. See end of article for more details. Table of Contents. What to Wear in Morocco Aside from cultural considerations and the different activities you have planned in Morocco, you also need to pack clothes to cover you for a changeable climate. Women Compared to other Muslim countries, Morocco is pretty relaxed about how female tourists dress and rarely will you be required to cover your head.
Basic Morocco Dress Code for Women Always keep shoulders covered — no strappy tops unless covered by a shawl or cardigan. Shorts, dresses, and skirts should always come to at least your knees, if not over.
Full-length skirts or pants are always better. Lightweight, loose-fitting pants are best for Morocco, especially in hotter areas. Always avoid tops that reveal cleavage.
Wear a vest or camisole underneath if required. If you wear jeans or tighter fitting pants such as leggings, mix with a longer top such as a tunic to cover your rear. Some ladies choose to cover their head as a matter of course out of respect and as a way to blend in a little more.
A lightweight travel scarf is also handy for keeping the sun at bay and the sand from your face if you plan on visiting the desert. We were so thankful to have a scarf to cover our faces in the Sahara. Men Men do not have the same considerations as women when travelling in a conservative country such as Morocco.
When it comes to dressing for Morocco, the conservative culture and predominance of Islam means modesty is the name of the game for both men and women. Tunic tops are ideal for women because they provide sufficient coverage and are comfortable in the heat if made from a lightweight fabric, like this one. Long, modest tops will go a long way in Morocco as far as helping you to blend in properly and respect the culture.
This neck wallet is perfect for holding your passport, phone, credit cards, and cash all in its separate pockets, which will keep your valuables organized and easily accessible. Wear it under your clothes to protect yourself from pickpockets, especially when visiting particularly crowded or touristy locations like markets and bazaars. Available on HeroTravelSupply.

If your itinerary includes spending time on the coast, a swimsuit will be another of your Morocco packing essentials.

We recommend this anti-theft backpack which is perfect for carrying all your important belongings and keeping them secure and out of reach from pickpockets. With endless functions, a scarf or shawl is one of the most useful things to bring to Morocco.
In addition to dressing up a casual outfit, you can also throw it on over a tank top or low-cut shirt for more coverage, use it to cover your head when entering Mosques and holy sites, or use it to keep sand out of your face in the desert.
A scarf like this one is totally essential for any trip to North Africa. Use it as a beach bag or for any other unexpected need that may arise, and easily attach the duffel to your suitcase handle for hassle free transport at the airport or around the country. Clothing for Morocco must be modest, especially for women. With few exceptions, your shoulders, knees, cleavage, and midriff should stay covered, so leave things like miniskirts, shorts, and crop tops at home.
T-shirts, tunic tops, and capri pants are all acceptable clothes for Morocco, as are longer skirts and dresses, and women will also want to bring a headscarf for visiting mosques. Expectations for men are more forgiving, but sleeveless shirts should be avoided; collared shirts and long pants are the ideal Morocco wardrobe for males. Especially in the cities, Moroccans tend to be fashionable and to dress up a bit. To stay as comfortable as possible in the hot weather, choose clothes made from lightweight, breathable fabrics.
Morocco also has some great hiking, so bring your activewear and clothes that are easily layered if you want to hit the trail. Tank tops : While most people would recommend covering your shoulders while in Morocco, I know it can get very hot there.
I usually wear tank tops under other layers so that I can be covered up for most of the day, but with the option of removing a layer and being a bit cooler if I chose to. Long sleeve cotton blouse : Similarly to the loose cotton trousers these are perfect to cover yourself up while being airy and not making you sweat too much. For Morocco I would pack maxi dresses and midi dresses, better to leave the short dresses at home.
Hoodie : A warmer alternative to a kaftan, even if somewhat less trendy. I was in Morocco in November and while it was tank top and sandals weather around midday in Marrakech, when we drove through the mountains there was snow on every side of the road and it also got pretty chilly at night in the Agafay desert.
Wide-rim hat : The sun can be pretty strong in Morocco so why not pack a wide-rim hat to keep your head in the shade?

Sunglasses : See previous bullet point, the sun is strong, protect your eyes. Small across-body bag : Morocco is one of those places where they always tell you to be careful and keep an eye out for your belongings. I usually keep all my valuable belongings in either a small across-body bag or a bumbag that closes with a zipper and always keep it in front of me where I can see it.
Portable electronic charger : I like to bring a power bank with me everywhere. Take a small one or solar powered one to ensure your phone and other electronics are always charged. Make sure to protect your skin with a high factor SPF. Hand sanitizer : Like above, some toilets might not have toilet paper and others might not have soap.
