Morocco is best explored in spring (mid-March to May) as the landscape is lush and beautiful and the weather is mild. The temperature is also very pleasant in autumn (September to October).
Morocco is a safe destination to visit but like many other countries, pickpockets and scam artists target tourists.
The Moroccan currency is called the dirham, which is divided into 100 centimes and is often abbreviated as Dh. An exchange control in Morocco means that you are not allowed to import or export the Moroccan dirham.
Both men and women should dress conservatively and cover their shoulders. Outside of the main cities, the people are more conservative, so we recommend also covering your legs.
The official language spoken in Morocco is Darija (Moroccan Arabic) and many of the locals speak French and English.
Morocco is a fairly relaxed country and allows for the consumption of alcohol. However, alcohol must be purchased and consumed in licensed hotels, bars, and tourist areas. Tourists and locals alike may also purchase alcohol in most major supermarkets. There are a small number of bars and restaurants which permit drinking outside, and caution should be taken with regards to drinking in public or drinking excessively.
Morocco is a relatively cheap destination in comparison to other countries, however the expense of your trip is entirely dependent on your preferences and buying habits. Entrance fees into museums and attractions ranges from 2-15 US dollars per person. Food is also relatively affordable, with dinner for two at a decent restaurant costing between 20-40 US dollars per couple.
This is entirely reliant on each person’s individual interests. Visitors generally prefer Marrakech over Casablanca due to its vibrant colours, traditional smells and authentic vibe. Marrakech is also renowned for its tourist-friendly atmosphere. Casablanca on the other hand is more modern and Western than Marrakech, which is why some visitors prefer to visit Marrakech. However, if you are a city person who enjoys shopping and contemporary Western shops and restaurants - Casablanca is for you.
For tourists, visas are not required for visits lasting less than 90 days in Morocco. However, all visitors must have a valid passport with at least one blank page.

No, you do not need a visa to visit Morocco unless you are planning to stay in the country for a duration of more than 90 days. It is also important that you have a valid passport with a blank page inside.
Morocco is a relatively affordable country to visit as it boasts low entrance fees into major attractions(2-15 US dollars) as well as affordable food. A dinner for two in Morocco tends to cost in the region of 20-40 US dollars, making Morocco a more affordable destination that many other countries.
Getting around Morocco on public transport is generally easy as the country boasts an extensive rail network linking the main towns of the north, the coast and Marrakesh. There are also plenty of buses and collective taxis in Morocco in most major towns and cities.
A visit of 5-11 days in Morocco will allow you to cover more ground in the country and see more of the country’s major sights. It is recommended to stay a little longer, particularly in the fascinating destinations like Fes and Marrakech.
Conscientious in early communication; knowledgeable, humorous and caring tour guides; an exemplary itinerary that was well organized yet flexible; an overall extraordinary experience. I'd recommend them enthusiastically.
I had an amazing time on the trip. Everything was incredibly well organized and planned out to a tee. Our tour guide, Big Mo, was amazing and super knowledgeable. I couldn't have imagined a better trip to Egypt!
Excellent
Trip booked through Groupon at a Great offer price - Encounters was nothing but professional from the start. I even purchased insurance - extra days and got the best flights from my local airport- Great experience
Anthony has been amazing throughout my planning of my tour. He has been very quick in replying to my emails and always answering with everything I wanted to know.
I look forward to hopefully planning my next trip through him next year!
Amazing tour. Any issues we had were addressed in a timely fashion and the resolutions were satisfactory. My only complaint is the driver picking us up was late and none of the cell numbers worked when we tried to call and figure out what to do.

Morocco is officially known as the Kingdom of Morocco and is a unitary sovereign state positioned in Northwest Africa. The country is characterised by a rugged mountain landscape, lengthy stretches of desert and a coastline along the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Morocco is part of the Arab League, the African Union and the Union for the Mediterranean. It has the fifth largest economy in Africa.
The capital of Morocco is Rabat and the second largest city is Casablanca. It is also one of the native homelands of the indigenous Berber people - an ethnic group indigenous to North Africa.
The king of Morocco holds vast executive and legislative powers, as Morocco is a constitutional monarchy with an elected parliament. The government can exercise executive power, but the king can dissolve parliament
The predominant religion of Morocco is Islam and the official languages are Arabic and Berber. Berber was the native language before the Arab conquest in the 600s AD. The Moroccan dialect of Arabic, commonly referred to as Darija, is also spoken, as is French.
With a Mediterranean climate, the weather in the country can be compared to California. The coastal plains remain moderate in temperature throughout the summer as a result of the cold Canary Current off the Atlantic Coast.
Tourism is an important sector in the Moroccan economy and the industry focuses on the country's culture, history and coast. The Moroccan government continues to invest in developing the tourism industry further.
