Pro Tips for Morocco Family Travel

  • Morocco uses the Moroccan Dirham (MAD) as currency. While major hotels and restaurants in tourist areas accept credit cards, carry cash for markets, small shops, and tips. ATMs are widely available in cities. Exchange rates are typically better at banks than hotels.
  • Morocco is a conservative Muslim country. Dress modestly especially when visiting religious sites or rural areas. For women, covering shoulders and knees is recommended. Men should avoid shorts in religious spaces. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing that provides coverage for comfort in the warm climate while respecting local customs.
  • Learn a few basic Arabic or French phrases as English is not widely spoken outside major tourist areas. "Salam alaikum" (peace be upon you) is a respectful greeting. "Shukran" means thank you. "La shukran" means no thank you. French is commonly spoken in Morocco due to historical ties. Download a translation app for convenience.
  • The Moroccan tourism board provides comprehensive travel resources at Visit Morocco, including updated information on attractions, cultural guidelines, and practical travel tips for families planning their Moroccan adventure.
  • Check visa requirements well in advance through the Moroccan Consulate website. Many nationalities can enter Morocco visa-free for stays up to 90 days, but requirements vary by nationality. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date.
  • Bargaining is expected and part of the shopping culture in Moroccan souks and markets. Start by offering about half the initial asking price and negotiate respectfully. Don't feel pressured to buy, and always be polite even if you walk away. Fixed-price shops will display "prix fixe" signs.
  • Tap water in Morocco is generally treated but may cause stomach upset for visitors. Always drink bottled water, which is inexpensive and readily available. Use bottled water for brushing teeth too. Ensure bottles are sealed when purchased. Most hotels provide complimentary bottled water.
  • Moroccan cuisine is flavorful but can be spicy. When dining with children, request meals with mild spicing by saying "bla harr" (without spice). Traditional dishes like couscous, tagine, and pastilla can be adjusted to family preferences. Fresh fruit, bread, and yogurt are safe, familiar options for picky eaters.
  • Morocco experiences significant temperature variations between day and night, especially in desert and mountain regions. Pack layers that can be easily added or removed. Desert nights can be surprisingly cold even when days are hot. The coast and cities have more moderate temperatures but can still vary throughout the day.
  • Friday is the Muslim holy day and many businesses, shops, and services may close or operate on reduced hours, particularly at midday for Friday prayers. Plan your shopping and activities accordingly. Major tourist attractions generally remain open but may have modified schedules. Sundays are normal working days in Morocco.

Morocco Packing List for Families

  • Comfortable walking shoes with good support for exploring medinas, kasbahs, and uneven terrain throughout Morocco's historic sites
  • Sandals suitable for desert walking and casual wear, plus closed-toe shoes for mosque visits and more formal settings
  • Modest clothing including lightweight long pants, long skirts, and tops that cover shoulders for respecting local customs while staying comfortable in warm weather

  • Scarf or shawl (for women) - versatile item for covering hair in religious sites, sun protection, and added warmth in cool environments
  • Small daypack for carrying water, snacks, camera, and personal items during day trips and medina exploration
  • Travel journal and pens for documenting your Moroccan adventures, sketching beautiful scenes, and recording memorable experiences
  • Reusable water bottles for each family member to stay hydrated while reducing plastic waste, essential in Morocco's warm climate

  • Travel document organizer for passports, tickets, hotel confirmations, travel insurance, and important phone numbers

Best Time to Visit Morocco

The ideal time for a Morocco family vacation is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when temperatures are pleasant across all regions, ranging from 20-28°C. These seasons offer comfortable weather for exploring cities, trekking in mountains, and experiencing the desert without extreme heat. Summer (June to August) brings intense heat, especially in Marrakech and desert areas, though coastal cities remain cooler. Winter (December to February) is mild in lowland areas but can be cold in mountains with possible snow, making it suitable for those preferring cooler conditions and seeking fewer crowds. Spring brings beautiful wildflowers in mountain valleys, while autumn offers harvest season experiences. Consider that Ramadan dates vary yearly and may affect restaurant hours and some services, though tourist areas generally accommodate visitors during this holy month.
