Quick Answer

In Morocco, you should wear modest, lightweight clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. Women should bring loose-fitting pants or long skirts, long-sleeved shirts, and a scarf. Men should wear long pants and collared shirts. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for cobblestone medinas.
