Morocco is a conservative country. Encourage students to pack lightweight, breathable clothing that covers shoulders and knees, especially when visiting rural villages or holy sites.
Sturdy, worn-in walking shoes are essential for the Aït Benhaddou climb and the rocky Todra Gorge path. Leave flip-flops for the hotel pool.
Always ask permission before photographing locals. Use your right hand for eating and handshakes, as it is considered the polite standard.
Bring a high-capacity power bank and a universal adapter (Type C/E). Pack a personal first-aid kit, sunscreen, and rehydration salts for the desert sun.
Stick to bottled, sealed water at all times. Roaming data can be costly; we suggest purchasing local SIMs or relying on hotel Wi-Fi networks where possible.
Tipping (baksheesh) is a customary part of life. Keep small notes/coins handy for hotel staff, camel guides, or local site help as a gesture of appreciation for good service.
