Clothing & Such
For many people, this trip to Morocco will be their first time crossing into a land so exotic and culturally different from their own. Packing outfits can be difficult when you have no idea what to expect. So take a look at our list to get an idea!
- Guys: You can wear pretty much anything you want.
- Girls: Although there isn’t any law restricting what you can and cannot wear, from experience, dressing more conservatively helps avoid unwanted attention. This means covering up your shoulders and knees with pants and a t-shirt, which are typically okay!
Regardless of season, you should always bring:
- Underwear: don’t be gross.
- Socks: don’t be smelly.
- Pajamas: very helpful during the bus ride!
- Shower flip flops.
- Comfortable shoes: you’ll walk a lot.
Warm & hot seasons:
- Loose fitting pants.
- Light scarf or shawl for the ladies (for entering mosques, protection from the sun and respect of the culture).
- Cardigan (it can get cold at night)!
- Comfy, loose fitting t-shirts
- Sunscreen
- Sunglasses
Cool & cold seasons:
- Jeans
- Scarves & Pashmina
- Jacket
- Light long sleeve shirts
- Raincoat or rain poncho
