Everything you need to know before your Moroccan adventure: tips, facts, and local insights for a smooth journey.
Morocco, the gateway to Africa, is a land of dizzying diversity—epic mountains, ancient cities, sweeping desert, and legendary hospitality. From the Mediterranean coast to the high Atlas Mountains and the boundless Sahara, Morocco forms a gigantic semicircle facing the Atlantic Ocean. Its major cities, from Tangier to Agadir and Fes to Rabat, are vibrant centers of culture and commerce.
Topography, climate, and history have created a country of beaches, valleys, fertile lands, majestic mountains, and desert oases. In secret medinas, labyrinthine souks, and at the foot of ancient minarets, Morocco’s artisans continue centuries-old traditions.

Tipping is part of Moroccan culture, but it's not compulsory. It's a way to show appreciation for good service. For waiters, hotel staff, guides, and drivers, 20 Dirhams (about 2€) or more is customary if you're pleased with the service. In small taxis, pay what's on the meter. Tipping is always at your discretion!
