Need to Know Facts
Bargaining Tips
4. Smoking and Eating in Public are not acceptable - especially in Ramadan 5. Beware of men and boys offering to help you find your way, or take you to special shops or events etc ! They will be demanding money from you on arrival. They can be persistent - Tell them you have already been, then keep walking and ignore them. 6. Beware of offers to show you the way from men on bikes at the airport ( Marrakech) where the rental cars are - again you will be asked for large sums of money for guiding you through the streets to the petrol station and/ or your road out of the city. If they do offer, make it clear you will not be paying. If you want to give them something on arrival this is then up to you. Moroccan are generally friendly and helpful but some spoil it by ripping tourists off! Driving in Morocco
Driving in Morocco is relatively comfortable in the countryside. The roads are in reasonable condition generally except in the very northern part that was originally Spanish.
