Here are some vital tips & etiquettes that are going to help you throughout the tour

What To Do
• Do Carry Cash

While enjoying your Morocco Holidays do carry hard cash because most of the
establishments in Morocco don’t have credit or debit card swipe machines. They still
deal in cash. It is the same with hotels and restaurants as well.
• Do Leave A Tip
Always leave a tip in case you want to get an extra service from the hotel management
staff. For instance, a tip of 5-10 percent bill is enough. Moreover, there is no need to tip
taxis.
• Do Expect A Seller In The Souk To Place Items On Your Head
It might look awkward, weird and rude sometimes so here you have to keep a watch
on merchants in the souk who are fearless enough to place items on your head or body
without taking your permission.
• Do Try A Hammam

While on your maiden Morocco Vacation have you ever tried Hammam? Hammam
in Morocco is just like a Turkish bath. It is a public steam room where people go to
clean themselves.
• Do Be Patient
Be patient while having lunch or dinner in a Moroccan restaurant. Here, you will be
given a time of 20 minutes for the food to arrive at your table but it will take as long as
one hour. It is not that they like to serve you late, but during extreme rush hour in any
hotel or restaurant is the reason it gets so late. Thus, kill the time by browsing the net
on your Smartphone.
• Do Book A Sahara Desert Tour

Yes, do book a Sahara Desert Tour while enjoying your Morocco Tours because every
such tour will give you a chance to sleep in the middle of the largest desert in the
world is just incredible.
• Do Get Used To Hearing “No Problem” As A Constant Response
Most of the native Moroccans are fluent in English and most of them are even illiterate
and thus by saying this sentence again and again they are just trying to get connected
with the foreigners they are serving so dedicatedly.
• Do Bring Toilet Paper Everywhere You Go

Numerous foreigners will just have a bad day if they don’t have a toilet paper. This
problem is going to be acute when they visit a country like Morocco. It is third world
country where people still use their left hand to clean their backs. Thus, do carry your
own toilet paper at all times.
• Do Be Prepared To Sit On Your Shoes In The Bathroom
In Morocco, numerous visitors will come across bathrooms that have no toilet bowls
but just a flat porcelain hole in the ground. Thus, we suggest all foreigners wear
closed-toe shoes when using these stalls to avoid backsplash.
• Do Get Lost In The Souks

In Morocco, you will just love getting lost in the souks and enjoy the craziness of the
merchants bargaining & trying to get your attention.
• Do Eat A Plenty Of Tagine And Couscous
You might not be aware of the fact that Tagine & Couscous are the main staples that
are served in most of the street food stalls. It is tasty, delicious and you can eat it
while having breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner.
What Not To Do In Morocco
• Don’t Drink The Tap Water
If you really want to stay safe and fine then don’t drink the tap water that is available
here to quench your thirst and beat the hot sun. Drinking the water from the tap will

eally make you sick. As far as locals are concerned they are habituated of drinking
that kind of water. Thus please drink bottled water only that is clean and hygienic in
nature.
• Be Respectful And Cover Up Your Body.
Yes, you have to cover up your shoulders and legs while strolling or walking in the
Moroccan streets because Morocco is basically a conservative country and locals give
maximum importance to the ways, you dress up in public.
• Don’t Text While Driving If A Rented A Car
While renting a car in Morocco, please stay more attention to the fact that people dart
out into the streets and don’t use crosswalks. Thus pay attention to driving to avoid
accidents.
Thus, all such precautionary measures will save you from a lot of troubles while on
Morocco Tours. Please heed to all such advises which will help you a lot. For more
