1) Disrespect Moroccan culture and religion
– The Islamic Religion (Not To Do In Morocco )
Disrespect for Islam in Morocco may offend the inhabitants and, while Morocco is among the most liberal Islamic nations, no guest should seek to antagonize its host. Asking questions to find out more about religion is good, but confining discussions about Islam to factual questions, instead of offering opinions that can be controversial. Follow the rules that prevent non-Muslims from entering certain areas like mosques, sanctuaries, and dress modestly, in accordance with local customs.
– The king and the monarchy
The lèse-majesté of Morocco or otherwise speaking badly about the Moroccan king a criminal offence. Speaking badly about the Moroccan king or insult him a criminal offence. A few ill-advised murmurs may offend, but going too far could in fact lead to a prison sentence of up to three years. Defacing the king’s image is against the law. Respect these Moroccan laws for a seamless journey.
2) Be mindful of your attire
Moroccans are used to tourists, but you’ll feel more comfortable wearing better. According to religious and cultural norms, the general norms of clothing in Morocco are quite conservative.
- A woman should be respectful and cover her shoulders and legs.
- For a man. You are free and can dress however you like. But, don’t forget that Morocco is an Islamic country.
3) Avoid public manifestations of love and fondness.
Quiet your urges in public spaces and too obvious gestures of affection must be prevented because the Moroccan people are very modest. So, avoid public demonstrations of romance. Not kissing in a public setting in Morocco.
4) Don’t take the photo of any Moroccans without their authorization.
A large number of Moroccans will be delighted to have their pictures taken. Simply ask gently if you can take a photo of someone so you don’t have any nasty surprises. If you take pictures of jugglers in Djemaa el Fna, it may get very pricey.
5) Alleyways are not reliable.
The Medina’s alleys are lovely for strolling, but they can also make you an easy victim of crooks and thieves. Try to wander in these alleys with Tour guides.
6) Do not accept the first price they propose the merchants in the Souks
Bargaining is a part of The Kingdom of Morocco! So don’t stop bargaining. Sometimes it’s helpful if you walk away. Don’t worry that the seller starts packaging the goods and puts them in your hand, you do not have to take, if you disagree on a price. Keep in mind that’s the way they sell.
7) Don’t carry valuables and expensive jewellery
Get out of your hotel with only what you need, as there are pickpockets and assaults are on the way. Keep your passport at the hotel and don’t take it away! Our advice is to copy your passport and leave your original documents in your room. It’s a great general rule, People will look upon jewellery as a sign of opulence. Is going to try harder to scam you into stores or steal you from the street.
