WHAT TO BRING ON THE TRIP
“Morocco Dress Code Basic Rules
Here are a few basic “rules” to keep in mind regarding a Moroccan dress code.
- You shouldn’t have your shoulders and knees exposed. That applies to men as well.
- No low-cut shirts. Women shouldn’t show their cleavage.
- Dress more conservatively in rural areas. While it’s generally more relaxed in the cities, count with more stringent rules if you go see the villages, especially in Morocco’s South. There it’s good to even wear a scarf on your head.
- Don’t wear your swimsuit around. You can definitely wear your swimsuit (including bikinis) if your hotel has a pool or you’re visiting a riad but wear a coverup when walking from the pool to your room (or the changing room) and only wear the swimsuit there.
How to Dress in Morocco: 6 Easy Tips
Okay, now let’s talk about exactly what to wear in Morocco as a woman.
- Long dresses and long travel skirts are perfect for the Moroccan heat. So are long-sleeved tunics and shirts. It’s all about the material that you choose!
- Don’t show your silhouette very clearly, the baggier the better. Nice bigger airy clothes will both protect you from the aggressive sunshine and from the suspicious looks of the locals.
- Pack a scarf. The scorching heat and the strong sun actually make it relieving to wear a white or light-colored scarf and you’ll protect your scalp from getting burnt!
- Bring layers. The temperature in Morocco can vary greatly and while it’s likely to be HOT during the day, it can also get down to 40 degrees in the winter. A range of 70 to 100 degrees F is more likely the rest of the year but even that’s a big difference!
- Wear comfortable shoes. Morocco is not the place for heels. Bring a pair of closed toed shoes for days when you’ll be walking a lot and a pair of sandals for more casual days. But definitely pick comfort over style here!
- Accessorize for the sun. Think floppy hats and sunglasses to protect your face. I also recommend regularly applying sunscreen to your face and anywhere that isn’t covered by your clothes.”
