What to pack for Morocco
Pack light, modest clothing that’s breathable for hot days and layers for cooler nights, especially in the mountains or desert. Bring a scarf for sun protection and visits to religious sites. Comfortable walking shoes or sandals are a must for exploring medinas. Don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and a daypack. A light jacket or sweater is useful for evenings. If you’re heading to the Sahara or hiking, add a headlamp, reusable water bottle, and warm layers. A universal adapter is also a must!
