Leave luggage at the airport left-luggage desk or a partner storage point on the route (marked ★). Carry only essentials and your passport.

Outside EU roaming: buy an eSIM before you travel or a prepaid SIM at an official carrier shop (bring your passport).

Dirhams (MAD) in cash for souks, petit taxis and stalls; cards at riads and bigger restaurants. Insist on the meter in petit taxis.

Tip 10% in restaurants and a few coins to guides, parking attendants and anyone posing for photos. Haggle in the souks: start at half the price.

Drink bottled or filtered water and avoid ice of doubtful origin; check that bottles are sealed.

Use app or hotel taxis, keep your phone away in the street and avoid walking after dark in empty areas. Watch out for phone snatching by motorcyclists downtown.

Type C/E sockets, 220 V.

Toilets in malls, museums and cafés; some public ones charge a little and paper goes in the bin, not the bowl.

Cover shoulders and knees in the medina and at monuments; non-Muslims may not enter mosques, except where tours exist (Hassan II).
