Safety

Low violent crime. The friction is persistent hassle, unofficial guides, and overcharging in the medinas, which fades once you know the ropes. Solo women report more unwanted attention than in Europe; dress conservatively and expect it to lessen outside tourist zones. Earthquake risk exists (2023 High Atlas quake).

Health

Private clinics in Marrakech and Casablanca are good; rural care is basic. Stomach upsets are common in the first week.

Money

Dirhams are a closed currency (exchange in-country). Cash dominates in souks; cards in riads and restaurants. Attijariwafa and BMCE ATMs are common; fees apply.

Tipping: Small tips expected widely; 10 percent in restaurants · Tap water: Treated in cities but most visitors drink bottled

Getting around

ONCF trains (including Africa's first high-speed line, Casablanca to Tangier) are excellent; CTM and Supratours buses cover the rest. Petit taxis in cities (insist on the meter); inDrive works in Marrakech.

SIMs and connectivity

Maroc Telecom has the best coverage; Orange and inwi are cheaper. SIMs are often free with a data top-up.
