We ask that only those explicitly invited RSVP.

Casablanca Airport (CMN) has the most international flights going in and out. It’s an hour drive from Rabat. If you would like to start your journey in the south, Marrakech Airport (RAK) is another option. If you’re flying from Europe, Rabat (RBA) and Fez (FEZ) Airports have available options.

This depends on how long you’ll be visiting for. If your trip is around a week long, consider choosing either northern or southern destinations. If you’re staying for 10 days to two weeks, you could start in the north and make your way down south, or vice versa. Check out possible itineraries here.

• Wedding (Summer Formal)

  • Traditionally, women wear a ‘takshita’ or ‘kaftan’ in colourful designs. If you would like to rent a takshita or kaftan, let us know in your RSVP (rentals are TBC).

  • Men wear a ‘jalaba’, ‘jabador’ or suit. Jalaba’s and jabador’s are typically affordable and can be found at any traditional market (optional).

  • Cultural clothes are welcomed, but are not mandatory. Wearing western clothing is completely appropriate.

• Generally

  • There will be many tourists in the area, so locals are used to quite about anything. However, for your comfort, avoid short shorts, crop tops.

  • If you plan on visiting mosques or religious sights, it’s best to cover up. This means pants and covered shoulders and head coverings for women (simple scarves are fine).

• More info here.

• The main language is Arabic, however the dialect (Darija) is unique to Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. People can generally understand other dialects, but reply in formal Arabic or the Egyptian dialect.

• French is also an official language. You’ll see that most cafes and restaurants have menus in French. Don’t be surprised if people immediately speak to you in French.

• Many people have learned English, especially in big cities and touristy areas, though it’s not as common as French.

You can buy a prepaid SIM card for Morocco in person on arrival at most international airports. SIM cards are also sold all over the country at mobile provider stores (INWI, Orange and Maroc Telecom), convenience stores, and roadside vendors and kiosks.

Tap water is filtered and safe to drink. If you are sensitive to different water types, I would encourage you to buy water bottles. You can find them at any corner store.

Street food is very common and usually very yummy. How you will react to it is very dependent on your body and its exposure to different foods. Err on the side of caution and use your best judgment. You can read about some types of street food. Here are some resources:
