Introduction:
Every year, more and more tourists visit Morocco. The bottom line is that Morocco is on the list of the most beautiful countries in the world. However, if you are a woman, we recommend that you consider some important tips before planning your trip to Morocco. In this article, we’ve put together some great tips to help you have realistic expectations before the big day. Read on for more information.
Dress appropriately:
First of all, you need to dress appropriately. If you are a man, you do not need to worry about your dress. However, if you are a woman, you should dress conservatively. If you want to avoid unwanted attention, it may be best to cover yourself as much as you can.
Some women may be victimized even if they go with a group of men. In addition, if you want to visit mosques, we recommend covering up to the waist. You are also welcome to keep the scarf.
Carry lots of local currency notes:
In department stores, you can buy with your credit card. However, you have to pay in local currency at most street vendors and small markets. So we recommend exchanging at least 100 Euros per day to be on the safe side.
Don’t count at the ATM:
If possible, you may want to exchange enough money for your expenditure. The good news is that you can change your money at the reception of your hotel. The problem with local ATMs is that they run out of cash quickly. If you think you can use traveler’s cheques, think again. You will find it difficult to cash your traveler’s checks in Morocco.
Don’t ask for a change:
In Morocco, taxi drivers have no flexibility in most cases. Therefore, if you do not want to be cheated, we recommend that you carry coins in your pockets. The problem with currency notes is that you can’t exchange them when you leave Morocco. Therefore, you may need to use the money to survive.
Improve your negotiation skills:
You have to learn how to haggle, especially when you are shopping in larger markets. In other words, you need to improve your negotiating skills if you want to pay the right price for something in Morocco. In fact, marketing is like a national sport in Morocco and negotiation is part of their culture.
To be on the safe side, you should pay between 25 and 50% less than the asking price. Therefore, it may be a good idea to establish your budget before negotiating with the vendor. If they can’t agree on a price, you should walk away. Most salespeople will call you the moment you turn around.
In summary, it may be worth keeping these five points in mind the next time you visit Morocco. Hopefully, these tips will help you get the most out of your trip and save a lot of money.
