Morroco

    An increasing number of tourists visit Morocco every year. The main reason is that Morocco is on the list of the most beautiful countries in the world. But if you are a woman, we recommend that you consider some basic tips before planning your trip to Morocco. In this article, we've put together some tips to help you have realistic expectations before the big day. Read on to learn more.

1. Dress appropriately

First of all, you should dress appropriately. If you're a man, you don't have to worry about your outfit. However, if you are a woman, you must dress conservatively. If you want to avoid unwanted attention, you may want to cover up as much as possible.

Some women may be harassed even if they go with a group of men. In addition, if you want to visit mosques, we recommend that you cover your ankles. You can also keep the scarf.

2. Carry lots of local currency notes

You can make purchases in large stores using a credit card. However, you will need to pay in the local currency at most street vendors and small markets. So, to be safe, we recommend that you exchange at least 100 euros per day.

3. Don't count on ATMs

If conceivable, you might need to trade sufficient cash. The good news is that you can exchange money at your hotel reception. The problem with local ATMs is that they run out of money quickly. If you think you can use traveler's checks, you need to think again. Cashing traveler's checks in Morocco will be difficult for you.

4. Don't ask for change

In Morocco, taxi drivers do not have a transfer in most cases. Therefore, if you do not want to be cheated, we recommend that you keep some coins in your pockets. The problem with coins is that you cannot have them exchanged at the time of departure from Morocco. Therefore, you may have to spend coins to live.

5. Improve your negotiation skills

You need to learn how to bargain, especially if you are going to shop in the big markets. In other words, you should improve your bargaining skills if you want to pay the right price for something in Morocco. Selling is a national sport in Morocco and bargaining is part of their culture.

To be on the safe side, you should pay 25-50% less than the asking price. Therefore, you may want to set your budget before negotiating with the seller. If they can't agree on a price, you should walk away. Most dealers will get back to you the second you pivot.

In short, you might want to keep these five pointers in mind the next time you go to Morocco. Hopefully, these tips will help you make the most of your trip and save a lot of money.
