It depends on your nationality. Many countries, including the USA, UK, EU nations, and some others, can enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. However, travelers from certain countries need to obtain a visa in advance. It’s best to check with the Moroccan embassy or consulate for specific requirements.

Yes, Morocco is generally safe for tourists, but like any travel destination, it’s important to take precautions. Petty crimes like pickpocketing can occur in crowded areas, so keeping an eye on your belongings is advised. Respecting local customs and being aware of cultural differences can also enhance your experience.
Morocco is a conservative country, so it’s recommended to dress modestly, especially in rural areas and religious sites. Women often wear loose-fitting clothes that cover their shoulders and knees, while men usually wear casual yet respectful clothing. In tourist areas, dress codes are more relaxed, but comfortable and breathable clothing is ideal due to the climate.
