Packing Checklist

Suggested

Chargers/Adapters

Device chargers and electrical adapters (and a converter if needed); portable charger/power bank

Clothing

Pack lightweight, breathable clothing for Morocco's intense summer heat. Loose-fitting fabrics work best — think chinos, wide-legged pants, flowy skirts or dresses, and looser t-shirts. Bring enough for about a week since laundry may be limited, and pack more shorts/lighter items than you'd expect for a typically conservative destination — cities like Marrakech and Casablanca see plenty of variety.

Daypack

Small backpack to carry water, camera, and essentials while exploring

Walking shoes

One good pair of broken-in, comfortable, sturdy walking shoes is essential. Uneven medina streets and desert terrain make supportive footwear especially important.

Sport sandals or flip-flops

Water activities, hotel floors, or just to keep your feet cool and comfortable

Modest clothing for religious/cultural sites

Clothing covering shoulders and knees; scarf for women; easy-off shoes for temples, etc. Cultural expectations vary by destination, so please research yours in advance.
