The Must-Haves

Passport – Obvious, but don’t forget it! Make a couple of copies too—just in case.
Travel insurance – Hopefully you won’t need it, but it’s peace of mind.
Reusable water bottle – Stay hydrated, especially in desert areas.
Universal power adapter – Morocco uses the European plug (Type C & E).
Phone & power bank – For Google Maps, photos, and staying connected.
Sunglasses & sunscreen – The Moroccan sun doesn’t play around!
Hand sanitizer & tissues – Not every restroom will have what you need.
Small backpack or tote – Perfect for day trips and city strolls.

Clothing Tips (Comfort + Culture)

Morocco is relaxed but modest. Pack things that are both respectful and practical:
Loose, breathable clothes – Linen, cotton, or moisture-wicking fabrics are best.
Long sleeves & pants/skirts – Great for sun protection and local customs.
Layers! – Desert nights and mountain mornings can get chilly, even in summer.
Comfortable shoes – You'll walk a lot—souks, medinas, and sandy trails.
Scarf or shawl – For sun protection or entering mosques respectfully.
Swimsuit – For hotel pools, coastal towns, or traditional hammams.
