Traveling through Morocco is easy and rewarding with an understanding of the country’s customs, practical realities, and transportation system. The country offers visa-free entry for around 70 nationalities for stays up to 90 days, but first-time travelers should prepare for a cash-based economy. It is advisable to book popular attractions in Marrakesh in advance to avoid waiting in line. It is also recommended that visitors learn basic Arabic phrases to connect with locals. Bargaining is customary in souks, and visitors should ask permission before photographing people. Tourists should also remember to dress modestly in cities and cover shoulders and knees at religious sites. They should expect some businesses and restaurants to close during daylight hours in Ramadan. Also, travelers should avoid drinking tap water when possible, and carry tissues for public restrooms. Finally, it is common to get lost in the medinas, so do not panic if that happens to you.
