Arranging luggage for a trip to Morocco is more difficult than it should be, mainly due to the wide variety of climates the country has—ranging from cities, through mountains, the coast, and deserts—and sometimes all of these areas are included in the same journey. The solution is not to pack for a fixed number of days but rather to pack according to the climate zones that actually lie along your particular route. The following is exactly what we would truly bring, taking into account what solo travelers in fact end up needing.

Morocco is truly a destination that allows for travel throughout the year, but the impact of your visit is greater than most people anticipate—particularly when your itinerary includes both the desert and the mountains, since these two areas experience heat and cold in very different ways.

A question which we are frequently asked is simply how much money you should allocate for a solo visit to Morocco.

Finding yourself in a new country without working internet is one of those minor stresses that can completely spoilt your first day, which is why it’s one of the easiest things to arrange when planning your trip. There is good mobile coverage in Morocco’s cities and in its main tourist spots, and once you know which option suits your journey you will genuinely find it easy to get connected.

When you begin to plan a journey to Morocco, the visa point is generally the first thing you think about, and it is also one of the easiest things to go wrong if you depend on an old blog post. Since Morocco’s entry requirements have changed more than once recently, we have put this information together using the most up-to-date data, covering travelers from any country, not just a small number of Western ones.
