Recommendations

Our recommendations for travelling in Morocco:

• That you are fit and healthy to take the trip on foot or mountain bike to make the most of the stunning scenery
• Brush up on basic French before you come to Morocco as not many people speak English
• Ensure you have adequate travel insurance to cover any health problems
• When driving in Morocco pay attention to speed limits they are stringently enforced:
  • You must stop for police and gendarmes where Halte signs appear unless they wave you on
  • Do not try running red lights. Note traffic lights change quickly. Fines are in cash.
• Only drink bottled or boiled water
• Have your vaccinations in plenty of time. Check with your GP or travel clinic
• Bring clothes for hot, wet and also cold weather as changes can be unexpected
• Ruck sacks are preferable to suitcases for walking holidays and easier for mules to carry
• You will find the Lonely Planet Little Book of Moroccan Arabic very useful
