Layer for shifting temperatures
Desert nights can drop sharply while daytime in towns can be warm — pack a warm midlayer and a lightweight shell.
Carry cash in small bills
Many small shops, riads and market vendors prefer cash — Moroccan dirham — especially outside major cities.
Protect against the sun and dust
Bring a wide-brim hat, sunglasses, SPF and a bandana or buff to shield from wind-blown sand on the dunes.
Pace your walking in medinas
Streets are uneven and narrow; use comfortable, grippy shoes and allow extra time for short uphill sections.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good grip and ankle support for cobbled medinas, kasbah approaches and canyon edges.
Sun hat and sunglasses
Protects from strong sun during daytime drives and dune walks.
