General Questions About Morocco

Visa requirements depend on your nationality. Many countries, including
the USA, UK, EU countries, Canada, and Australia, don’t require a visa for stays up to 90 days. Always check the latest  requirements with the Moroccan embassy in your country before traveling.

The best time to visit Morocco is during spring (March to May) or fall
(September to November) when temperatures are milder. However, each season offers unique experiences:

- Spring: Mild temperatures, wildflowers in bloom

- Summer (June to August): Hot, especially in the desert, but great for coastal areas

- Fall: Mild temperatures, harvest season

- Winter (December to February): Cool, potential for snow in the mountains, ideal for desert trips

Morocco is generally safe for tourists. As with any travel, use common sense precautions. Be aware of pickpocketing in busy areas and avoid walking alone in isolated areas at night. Dunadaurada prioritizes guest safety in all our tours.

The official languages are Arabic and Berber. French is widely spoken, especially in cities and tourist areas. English is increasingly common in tourist regions.

The Moroccan Dirham (MAD) is the official currency. It’s a closed currency, meaning you can only obtain it within Morocco. ATMs are widely available in cities and towns.
