U.S. citizens are not required to have a travel insurance plan to enter Morocco. However, you may want to consider a travel insurance plan when you consider that safety is one of the most common concerns from travelers when visiting Morocco. A travel insurance plan from Travel Guard can provide 24-hour emergency travel assistance so you aren’t handling travel issues on your own.

Morocco tends to be a budget-friendly destination for travelers, which makes Travel Guard’s Preferred Plan a great place to start looking at coverage. The Preferred Plan is a comprehensive travel insurance plan that offers popular coverages such as Travel Medical Expense, Trip Interruption, Trip Delay, Missed Connection and many more. While travel to Morocco is generally safe, it does have a Level 2 travel advisory warning from the U.S. Department of State, which means you may want to add on coverage like our Security Bundle, which may provide coverage for security evacuation and trip cancellation or trip interruption in case of a riot or civil disorder.

All Travel Guard plans include 24/7 emergency travel assistance to help you navigate the unexpected.

The price of a travel insurance plan can vary depending on the amount of people in your party, length of your trip and the product you select. However, you can expect a travel insurance plan to typically be priced between 5-7% of your total trip cost.

To help ensure travelers are prepared for their trip to Morocco, Travel Guard gathered answers to some of the most popular questions asked by tourists visiting the country. 

The Moroccan dirham, or MAD, is the official currency of Morocco. Debit and credit cards are not commonly used outside of major cities and tourist areas, so you’ll want to have local currency on hand. Currency can be exchanged at your local bank or an airport kiosk prior to your departure, or you can exchange currency at banks and hotels within major cities in Morocco.

Morocco has two official languages: Modern Standard Arabic and Standard Moroccan Berber (also called Tamazight). However, French, Spanish and English are non-official commonly spoken languages in the country. Even though English is spoken, it can be beneficial to practice Modern Standard Arabic to ensure you can communicate and read signage if you need help. Finally, bring a translator that works offline to help you if all else fails.

Visas are not required for trips under 90 days, but you will need a passport with six months of validity and a blank page for your entry stamp.

The U.S. embassy in Morocco is in the capital city of Rabat. Visit the official U.S. embassy website for the latest contact information.

From June to September, Morocco is hot with little rainfall and average temperatures around 72°F. In the winter months, temperatures are mild around 55 °F with heavy rainfall lasting until April.

Morocco has pleasant temperatures all year round, but the most popular time to visit the country is in the spring, March to May, or fall season, September to October, when temperatures are cool enough to enjoy outdoor activities, but the rainy season has yet to begin.

Morocco’s dial code is +212, which can be used to call mobile phones and landlines in the country. For placing calls back home from Morocco, you’ll need to use the U.S. entry code of +1. Remember to inform your cellphone provider of your travelers to best avoid international roaming fees and interruption in your service.

Morocco has different wall outlets than the U.S. and uses a much higher voltage, so you will need both a power transformer and wall adapter to properly use your electronics. We recommend a universal adapter that can be used again for other trips in the future. 

Yes, travel to Spain from Morocco is easy since travelers can take a ferry, bus, plane, car or even train to travel into the country. Just be sure to review Spain’s entry requirements, which can be viewed on the official U.S. Department of State website.

Marrakesh is a popular city to visit for its medieval architecture, fine dining, luxury spas and, of course, many street markets where travelers can get a first-hand look into Moroccan culture.

It is generally safe for women to travel within Morocco. Be aware of local customs such as women dressing modestly by wearing long, breathable, flowy tunics with leggings. Take precautions and be aware of your surroundings. If you’re a woman traveling solo, you may even consider hiring a female tour guide to show you around.
