When you tour Morocco, your trip will encompass
nights out in the town, camel trips in the desert, trekking through the
mountains and obviously morocco cultural tours.
As you pack for your Morocco vacation, you’ll require to take into
account what activities you would love to do, how your outfit will be
from a cultural point of view and what season you’ll be touring.
Summer:
If
you’re traveling during the summer, expect warmer temperatures and
trekking paths cleared of snow, but higher elevations will be cool year
round. In many countries, it is commonplace to pack shorts and a tank
top, but don't do that for your Morocco vacation tours. Instead, pack
lightweight pants and shirts (linen works well) but avoid wearing any
revealing clothing. Many Moroccans are Muslim, and exposing too much
flesh via short shorts, short skirts, and tank tops is not appreciated,
especially during daylight hours.
Women would be
wise to dress in at least knee-length pants or skirts until evening. In
the evening, the nightlife of Morocco may warrant a looser dress code,
though this will depend on where you are going and how cosmopolitan a
city is. Also, take care to leave local clothing to the locals. While
some Moroccans wear djellabas or hip-length tunics, those who live in
the city tend to wear Western-style clothing.
Winter:
Winter
travel will be confined mostly to cultural and city tours, since most
of the trekking excursions are not possible due to snow. In winter
months, heavier pants and shirts, or even layered clothing, will be most
comfortable. Packing layers will allow you to remove or add clothing as
needed. Days in the desert will be warm, but plan accordingly for cool
evenings and nights in the winter. It is also important to note that the
country's rainy season begins in November. During the rainy season it
is best to have full rain gear.
Autumn:
Autumn
in Morocco is still fairly warm, though temperatures in the mountains
begin to drop to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. During the day, a pair of
lightweight pants and shirt may be comfortable, but at night you will
probably want a jacket when temperatures reach below 50 degrees. The
density of the jacket will depend largely on where you plan to travel in
the country.
In the desert, nightly temperatures
can be much cooler than in the city. If you decide to trek in the
mountains, a heavier coat is a good idea. When choosing your clothing
you may want to avoid white.
Spring:
Spring
is one of the wettest seasons in Morocco. The country's rains continue
through the end of March, so pack a rain jacket and shoes that are
comfortable when wet. An umbrella may be handy in the city, but they are
burdensome in the mountains. You should also expect cooler temperatures
in the spring.
Your Morocco tour package
should be designed while keeping all these above mentioned points in
mind. So, look for a tour operator that can customize you’re their
package according to your needs.
