Travel Morocco, What to Bring

In preparation for traveling to Morocco on a Private Tour, the following is a list of things to consider packing that will make your trip as smooth and comfortable as possible. In Moroccan Imperial Cities, you will be able to buy most of the items you can find at home (such as toiletries and cosmetic items, batteries and small electronics and generic medicines), however the situation in rural Morocco is very different and if you have favorite products, it is worth bringing them. Do not forget the restrictions on liquids and other items in your hand luggage – check with your airline for specific information. Consider what kind of luggage you need. If you plan to travel in rural areas or trek in the mountains during your visit to Morocco, a backpack will be more useful than a trolley suitcase.
