Health & precautions

Drinking water
Prefer bottled water. Tap water is drinkable in major cities but may cause discomfort.
Mosquitoes
Minimal risk. No malaria.
General notes
Private clinics in major cities are of good quality. Pharmacies are numerous and well stocked.
Women travelers
Verbal harassment (comments, whistling) is common in some tourist areas. Clothing covering shoulders and knees reduces unwanted attention. Travelling in pairs is more comfortable.
LGBTQ+ travelers
Homosexuality is illegal in Morocco (up to 3 years in prison). Absolute discretion is essential.
