Morocco is safe for tourists. Standard travel precautions: watch belongings in busy medinas, drink bottled water, avoid street food if your stomach is sensitive. Healthcare: private clinics in major cities are good. Travel insurance is strongly recommended. Pharmacies are widely available and well-stocked.

Moroccan cuisine is one of the world's most complex and fragrant.

Alcohol is available in tourist restaurants and licensed bars. Tap water: use bottled or filtered.

Morocco is a Muslim-majority country with a relaxed, welcoming culture toward tourists. In tourist areas, Western dress is fine. In medinas, souks, and religious sites: cover shoulders and knees. Swimwear is acceptable at beach resorts and pool riads only. Remove shoes before entering a mosque. Friday is the Islamic holy day — some businesses may close midday.
