A jacket was an absolute must-have on my Morocco packing list when I went from February to April. It gets cold! Remember, even a hot day in the high 70s can drop super low at night. The mountains still have snow, the desert is chilly at night, and at the least, the buses can get cold too! The coastline is also known for its windy weather which brings in a chill too. So the main point? It gets me through traveling around the world and in almost all weather conditions—Iceland to Morocco!
Simple dress, leggings, comfy flats, and a scarf. The epitome of what to wear in Morocco is this. Speaking of hot and cold, pack some scarves when planning what to wear in Morocco. You can use these to stay warm, to protect your head from the sun, a hair scarf, or to cover your shoulders if you have them bared in a tank.
Lastly, my scarf saved me when there was a mini sandstorm in the desert! You can fit cash, your passport, and even your phone. Put a low heel ankle boot and a flat on your Morocco packing list.
You want a dressy shoe for dinner out or a fancier outing and a basic walking shoe that can be cute with a dress or leggings but still be super casual and worn every day.
Both will keep your feet warm enough on cooler days and nights. Have at least one of each; out of all the things on my Morocco packing list, flip-flops are a life essential. You probably already have a few pairs but I live and die by my Rainbow flip-flops.
They are cute, comfy, and perfect in the heat. Then to dress up any outfit, have a pair of sandals on hand. Check out my travel resource page for the exact companies I use for everything travel related.
Travel safety tips no matter where you're going. Which one do you prefer? I always use both, purses for quick hops outside, at night etc, and the day bag when I have my camera stuff and need to carry more items.
This is my favorite backpack and my favorite purse as they are both anti-theft bags. Nobody is getting in there! As for what to pack for Morocco, your bags could be some of the most important! NEVER use a shoulder bag. Crossbody bags are the safest option for traveling, no matter where in the world you are. NEVER wear your backpack in the back when in a crowded area and be on alert at all other times. Backpacks are SO easy to open in crowded markets, wear them in the front and avoid theft.
Check Price: Bag Purse. How to dress in Marrakech compared to how to dress for the Sahara are two different things. Morocco is a Muslim country and modesty is respected. Leave your short shorts and strappy tank tops at home or reserve them for the pool and beach.
The answer to this is yes and no. How to dress in Morocco as a woman is a question that plagues a lot of female visitors. You do not need to dress the same as local women. Morocco has no laws, or dress codes on what women must wear. In large cities like Marrakech or Casablanca local women dress in a wide variety of styles. In rural communities it is highly advisable to cover up more.
Wear longer shorts or pants and skip the tank tops, or at least drape a large scarf over your chest and shoulders when you are in the local communities. There is a strong likelihood that you will experience verbal sexual harassment at some point in Morocco.
This is true whether you dress modestly or not. But, the truth is the more exposed you are, the more likely you will face comments and advances. Yes, you can wear leggings. However, and especially in rural areas, pair leggings with a longer tunic length top that covers your butt. Yes, you also can wear ripped jeans.
If you have jeans that are ripped in more non-discreet places they might not be the best choice. Really short shorts are not advisable and to be honest, wearing loose fitting, longer pants is often much cooler than wearing shorts where a lot of skin is exposed.
From what I saw, this just gets them more unwanted attention and their photo taken by local men. After all, we are visitors to this new country which has customs and traditions that are very different than our own. Customs that we want to explore and experience for ourselves.
Not only will it make you feel more comfortable, but it will probably make you feel better as a traveller as well. Please, do NOT travel without travel insurance! For just a couple bucks a day, you can save yourself a whole lot of stress and money. I like to recommend SafetyWing for travel medical insurance.

More than anything, we vote with our travel budgets, and traveling to places like this sends the message that treating women like this is okay: we will tolerate it. Why would you go someplace where you know you will be in excessive danger and will be frequently harrassed? But, I choose to look at look at it more hopefully. Did I get harassed? I sure did. I held my ground.
Why is it ok to cover up there, but not in Middle Eastern or Muslim countries? Thanks for sharing Hannah. I hope to go to either Morocco or Jordan soon so your tips really help.
