If you are taking a longer tour of Spain, you may considering combining it with visits to Portgual and Morocco, so we wanted to include information about both on our blog.
The capital of Morocco is Rabat.
The currency is the Moroccan Dirham (Dh)
Morocco has a Northern coast, with mountainous interiors of bordering plateaus, valleys and rich coastal plains.
Climate & Clothing: Morocco has a mix of climates, however generally it is Mediterranean, warm on the coast, continental in the interior and arid in the South. It’s sunny most of the year, although temperatures may drop quite considerably at night. In high summer we suggest you wear cool clothing, hat and sunglasses, while a sweater or jacket are recommended for those cool night breezes. We also suggest ladies cover their shoulders.
Food & Drink:
Local delicacies include Couscous (steamed savory semolina grain served with meat and vegetables), Mechoui (lamb roasted on a spit), delicious kebabs, Kefta (minced meat
rissoles with spices) and Tagine (meat stew cooked using an earthenware dish). Don’t miss a refreshing drink of mint tea. Water from the tap is not safe to drink in Morocco but bottled water is widely available. Make sure you carry a bottle of water to prevent dehydration on hot summer days.Best Buys:
