Advice:
For most of us, traveling means vacation. Here are some essential rules to follow to ensure your pleasure doesn’t turn into a nightmare, especially when traveling with children or elderly individuals, who are more vulnerable to intense sun and foodborne illnesses that may cause diarrhea. For this reason, Trek Line offers some health and safety tips to ensure your trip goes smoothly.
Stay:
-
Ensure your passport has been stamped by border police authorities.
-
For stays in Morocco of three months or less, a valid passport is required. For longer stays, contact Moroccan immigration services.
Health:
-
No vaccinations are mandatory to enter Morocco, but make sure your routine vaccines are up to date.
-
It is recommended to have repatriation insurance in case of accidents or death.
-
Drink bottled water, even though tap water is safe in major cities and small villages.
-
Bring a small medical kit with necessary medications (antibiotics, anti-diarrheals, etc.).
-
Avoid swimming in lakes, rivers (wadis), etc.
-
Follow basic hygiene principles to minimize infections.
Drug Warning:
-
The sale and consumption of drugs are strictly prohibited. Drug trafficking is severely punished by law (5 to 10 years imprisonment, fines from €500 to €50,000, vehicle confiscation, and customs fines based on quantity seized). Even small possession usually leads to imprisonment.
Photography:
-
Avoid taking photos of people without permission.
-
Ask your guide before photographing locals or passersby.
Customs & Traditions:
-
Always behave decently and discreetly, showing respect in Muslim places of worship.
-
Non-Muslims are strictly forbidden from entering mosques, except for major tourist sites like the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca.
-
Women should dress modestly, especially during Ramadan (knee-length pants/skirts).
-
Alcohol is available in major cities, but avoid public consumption, especially during Ramadan.
-
When visiting old kasbahs and ksours (fortified villages), particularly in conservative southern Morocco, women should dress respectfully.
Environment:
The Moroccan government recently announced an Environmental and Sustainable Development Charter, currently in development. This policy will establish fundamental principles, including sustainable development, environmental rights, participation, and commitment, forming the cornerstone of the Kingdom’s environmental strategy.
Morocco’s sustainable development policy focuses on long-term environmental protection, preserving natural resources and ecosystems, monitoring regional environmental conditions, and improving citizens’ living environments.
Land Degradation:
Land degradation reduces soil productivity and harms natural resources due to human activities like mechanization and poor farming practices, particularly in drought-prone Saharan regions.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL CLIENTS:
In all our tours, especially in the desert, you will cross fragile wild landscapes. We advise you to preserve and respect their integrity—do not litter, and collect all waste at your destination. Leave nature as clean as you found it.
How Our Treks & Tours Work:
