Facts about Morocco

Morocco is a north American country, with a population of 34 million people, bordering the Atlantic ocean and Mediterranean sea. Just the sight of the amazing water fall, camel trek, the overnight stays in the Sahara and the mountainous region where one can hike gives an amazing feeling to consider traveling to Morocco. 

Women traveling alone in Morocco are advised to not dress in skimpy clothing and try to cover up as much as possible. It is generally considered unsafe to drink tap water in Morocco. You can only drink them after boiling. It is safer to consume bottled mineral water. Travelers are advised to withdraw money from ATM at the airport instead of exchanging money before arrival. This is because the country has a 1000DH import and export limit.
