Absolutely, Morocco is a safe travel destination at present. Like any other place, it's essential to be mindful of potential risks such as pick-pocketing and scams. However, don't let misconceptions deter you; Morocco is brimming with must-see attractions and offers a safe environment for exploration. In busy tourist areas, especially in cities, you might attract occasional attention from locals, particularly if you're a solo female traveler. Dressing respectfully can be an effective measure to mitigate this. Additionally, traveling with a small group tour has its advantages – our team of professionals ensures your safety and companionship, enhancing your confidence and overall enjoyment of the sights and experiences.
The best time to visit Morocco typically falls during the spring and fall seasons, from March to May and September to November. During these months, the weather is pleasantly mild, making it ideal for exploring Morocco's diverse landscapes and vibrant cities. Spring brings blooming flowers and greenery, while fall offers comfortable temperatures and clear skies. Summer can be scorching, especially in the desert regions, and winter can be chilly, with snow in the Atlas Mountains. Choosing the spring or fall ensures you can fully enjoy your journey, from bustling medinas to the serene Sahara, with the most favorable weather conditions, making it a perfect time to discover the magic of Morocco.
When it comes to clothing in Morocco, there are some key considerations. While playing sports like tennis or golf, feel free to wear suitable sportswear, much like you would in the United States. However, during excursions, shopping, and dining, it's advisable not to draw excessive attention with your attire. Remember, Morocco is an Arab country, and mutual respect is essential. Both men and women should dress conservatively. Opt for loose, lightweight clothing not only to pay respect to the locals but also to protect your skin and stay comfortable in the heat. Carrying a lightweight scarf can be handy for covering up, especially near religious sites or to shield yourself from the sun and desert sand.
When you're strolling through the lively souks, remember that haggling isn't just a transaction; it's an art form, a dance of sorts! The locals do it with a twinkle in their eye, and we invite you to join the playful banter. Shopkeepers often start with prices that might make your eyes pop, but don't fret – that's all part of the show. A general rule of thumb is to start your bargaining at about half of their initial offer and work your way up from there. And hey, if you find yourself getting the hang of it, you might even impress the locals with your negotiation skills.
But here's the twist! At the end of your fantastic journey with us, Mo, the heart of Tennis Destination, has a fun surprise in store for you. In the bustling streets of Marrakech, we'll hold a friendly group haggling competition. Each of you will receive $50, and the goal is to see who can nab the most fantastic finds and souvenirs with that sum. The winner gets a special prize, while the others get to cherish their unique Moroccan treasures. It's all in good fun, and you'll create some unforgettable memories during this delightful showdown. So, let the haggling games begin!
In Morocco, we're fortunate to be a melting pot of languages. While Arabic is our official language, you'll often hear a Moroccan dialect called Darija in everyday conversations. But that's not all; we also have Berber languages spoken by some of our indigenous communities. French is widely used, especially in business and education, and English is gaining popularity among the younger generation and in tourist areas. So, when you visit Morocco, you'll find that our linguistic diversity adds another layer of richness to the tapestry of our culture.

Tipping, or "baksheesh," is a customary and appreciated practice in Morocco. It's a way to show your gratitude for excellent service. For drivers and guides, a tip of around $10 to $15 per day, but this can vary based on the length and nature of your journey. In restaurants, it's common to leave a tip of around 10-15% of the bill for waiters. For other services, such as hotel staff and porters, a small tip is appreciated, often equivalent to a few Moroccan dirhams. Remember that tipping is a way to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of those who enhance your Moroccan experience, so feel free to adjust based on your satisfaction. Your generosity is always met with warm appreciation.
