Knowing what to wear in Morocco makes your trip more comfortable and respectful. In general, light, loose clothes that cover shoulders and knees work everywhere, with warm layers for the desert and mountains. Here is a simple guide.
In the Cities and Medinas
To begin with, choose loose trousers, long skirts and tops with sleeves. As a result, you stay cool and respect local customs. Comfortable shoes are essential for the medina lanes.
For Women
Meanwhile, a light scarf is useful for sun, dust and visits. Read solo travel tips for women.
In the Desert
Then bring a warm jacket for the night, a scarf against sand, sunglasses and sunscreen. See what to wear in the Sahara.
In the Atlas Mountains
Also, wear walking shoes and layers, since temperatures drop with altitude. See our trekking packing list.
