Is everything open on Sundays in Morocco?

This is a really common point of confusion, and it's worth clearing up because it shapes how you plan. In much of the world Sunday is the day things close — but Morocco is a Muslim country, and its weekly religious day is Friday, not Sunday. So the Western instinct that 'Sunday equals shut' simply doesn't apply here. For a traveller, Sunday is, for almost all practical purposes, a normal day: medinas hum, restaurants serve, riads check you in and out, taxis run, and the headline monuments and museums keep their usual hours.

There are a few sensible caveats. Some formal institutions — certain banks, government offices, official administrative buildings, and a number of larger corporate businesses — do close or run reduced hours on the weekend, and that can include Sunday, partly under European influence in business culture. So if your Sunday plan hinges on a bank counter or an official office, check first. But these are errands, not experiences, and they rarely touch a normal tourist day.

Markets are the one thing genuinely worth checking, though not because of Sunday specifically. Many Moroccan towns, especially rural ones, hold a big weekly souk on a fixed day of the week, and that day varies place to place — some towns are even named for their market day. A few of those weekly markets fall on Sunday, which makes Sunday a great day to be in that particular town; others fall midweek. If a weekly market is the reason you're visiting somewhere, look up its day rather than assuming.

So my honest, simple answer: don't plan your Morocco trip around avoiding Sundays the way you might at home. Treat Friday as the day to keep a little flexibility, and treat Sunday as just another good day to explore. If anything, I've found Sundays in the bigger cities can be pleasantly social — local families out, parks and cafés full, a relaxed mood — which is a nice atmosphere to wander into.
