6 recommendations to consider before traveling to Morocco 

 

How to get to Morocco and what documentation to take with you  

 

The most popular means of transportation to Morocco are by plane and ferry.

In the case of air travel, it is a comfortable, fast and economical way to visit the country, thanks to the good communications between the airports of Spain and Morocco.

On the other hand, there are multiple ferry lines that connect some Spanish ports with cities like Tangier, making round trips every day and quite frequently.

Some of these ships offer the option to travel with your own vehicle, so they are an option to take into account if you want to move around Morocco at your own pace.

As for travel documentation, Spanish citizens only require a valid passport without the need for a visa.

The only extra paperwork you have to do is to fill in a form with your personal information and details about your stay, both on entry and exit from Morocco. This can be done at customs or on board the ferry.

 

Best time to go to Morocco 

 

Another of the most important recommendations for traveling to Morocco is to think carefully about what time of the year to visit the country.

Two of the best times to go are undoubtedly spring or autumn. Seasons in which you will avoid the sweltering summer heat, as well as the rains and cooler temperatures, which can drop significantly when night falls.

Another important detail to take into account is the time of Ramadan: a sacred period for Muslims dedicated to prayer and reflection, characterized by fasting. For this reason, some stores and restaurants remain closed during the day.

Tips and recommendations on going to Morocco by motorcycle

Safety in Morocco  

 

Morocco, known for its rich history and beautiful landscapes, is constantly striving to ensure the safety of its citizens and visitors. Tourism is the top national priority as it is one of the country's main sources of income and it ensures a safe environment for travelers, in fact, the country has been ranked as the safest in all of Africa.

 

The Moroccan government has invested in a modern security infrastructure and works closely with international agencies to maintain stability. In this way, tourists can enjoy its rich culture, historical heritage and natural beauty with peace of mind, knowing that their well-being is supported by a solid commitment to security.

 

Extra tips  

 

Here are some extra tips for visiting Morocco and enjoying a memorable vacation:

  • Be careful when taking photos, as some people consider it disrespectful. Be sure not to point at anyone when photographing a building, monument or landscape.
  • Wear comfortable clothes and shoes: light and airy clothes for the heat and warmer ones for the evenings or for visiting mountainous regions, closed shoes to move comfortably around the cities, and sunglasses and a cap or hat to protect you from the sun.
