Before You Go
Morocco, answered.
What is this Morocco travel wiki?
It is a free, regularly updated guide to travelling in Morocco, written by Serenity Morocco Tours’ in-country travel designers. It covers first-time planning, why to visit, deep city guides, the eight kinds of experience, sample itineraries, and all the practical info — visas, money, transport, safety, language and weather.
What is the best time to visit Morocco?
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are the sweet spots, with warm days and cool evenings across most of the country. Summer is hot inland but fine on the Atlantic coast; winter is ideal for the Sahara by day and for skiing in the Atlas. Our When-to-Visit guide breaks it down month by month.
Do I need a visa to visit Morocco?
Many nationalities — including the US, UK, EU, Canada and Australia — can enter visa-free for up to 90 days. Requirements change, so check our visa guide for your specific nationality before you book flights.
Is Morocco safe for tourists?
Morocco is generally very safe for visitors, with a well-developed tourism infrastructure and a famously warm welcome. Normal city precautions apply — watch your belongings in crowded souks and use licensed guides. Our safety guide has the full detail.
How many days do I need in Morocco?
Seven days covers the classic Marrakech–Sahara–Atlas loop; ten lets you add Fes and the imperial cities; five is enough for a focused desert or coastal trip. Our sample itineraries lay out routes for every length and travel style.
