Adventure tips

Dress for mosque visitsCarry a scarf or wear modest clothing—shoulders and knees should be covered to enter Hassan II Mosque areas where required.

Stay hydratedBring a refillable water bottle; the tour provides bottled water but a reusable bottle is more sustainable for the city’s warm afternoons.

Comfortable footwearExpect up to a couple of miles of walking on mixed paved surfaces and small steps inside attractions—sturdy, comfortable shoes help you move easily.

Timing for photosBook morning or late-afternoon departures for softer light along the Corniche and reduced crowds at popular stops like Rick’s Café.

Recommended gear

Comfortable walking shoes: Provides support for pavement, steps, and uneven market lanes.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen): Shields you from strong coastal sun during Corniche stretches and open plazas.
Lightweight rain jacket: Useful for unexpected showers and coastal wind in cooler months.
Reusable water bottle: Keeps you hydrated and reduces single-use plastic during the tour.
