Morocco is generally safe for tourists in the main tourist areas. The Slovak MFA advises increased vigilance near the Algerian border and in remote desert areas. Petty crime (overcharging, fake guide touting) is common in the medinas; hire only official guides (blue badge guides in Marrakech and Fes). Avoid accepting unsolicited help from strangers in the medina; most offers lead to shops expecting a commission.

Marrakech (Medina, Jemaa el-Fna square, souks), Fes (ancient medina, tanneries), Casablanca (Hassan II Mosque), the Sahara Desert (Merzouga), the Atlas Mountains, and Chefchaouen (blue city).

Morocco is a Muslim-majority country. In major cities and resort towns, dress codes for tourists are flexible but respectful clothing (covering shoulders and knees) is appreciated, especially in medinas, mosques (only the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca admits non-Muslim visitors), and rural areas. Swimwear is appropriate only at pools and coastal beaches.

Morocco is generally safe for tourists in main destinations. Standard precautions apply in crowded souks (pickpocketing awareness). Guided tours are recommended for the Sahara. Women traveling alone should be prepared for attention and harassment in some areas.

Merzouga in the Draa-Tafilalet region is the most popular access point for the Erg Chebbi dunes. It is accessible from Fes (7-8 hours by road), from Marrakech via the Atlas Mountains (10 hours), or by domestic flight to Errachidia (2 hours from Merzouga). Typical desert packages include a camel trek, sunset in the dunes, and an overnight stay in a desert camp under extraordinary star-filled skies.

Morocco is very affordable by European standards. Accommodation, food (especially local Moroccan restaurants), and transportation are very good value. Souk prices require negotiation - initial prices are typically inflated for tourists.

Yes. The High Atlas is accessible from Marrakech in about 1.5-2 hours by car. Imlil village (1,740 m) is the main hiking base; Jebel Toubkal (4,167 m, North Africa's highest peak) is a 2-day ascent from Imlil. Licensed mountain guides are available in Imlil. Day hikes in the Ourika Valley and to the waterfalls of Setti Fatma are accessible without a full mountaineering commitment.

Arabic (Darija dialect) and Berber are primary languages. French is widely spoken in cities and hotels. Spanish is understood in northern Morocco. English is spoken in tourist areas but less common than French.
