Climate
and clothing:
Morocco has wide daily variations in temperature. The coastal
climate, though temperate, is damp. Wear clothing suitable for
the eastern U.S.
Customs and currency: Passports are required. U.S. tourists
do not need visas for visits of 3 months or less. Dirhams may
not be imported or exported. All currency or travelers checks
must be declared upon entry.
Health: Although not meeting U.S. standards, public
health is improving steadily. Eat prepared fruits and vegetables
and drink bottled water, which is widely available, when traveling
outside the main cities.
Telecommunications: Local and international telephone
and telegraph service is available. A working knowledge of
French or Arabic is essential. Morocco is on Greenwich mean
time (five standard time zones ahead of eastern standard time);
and remains on GMT throughout the year.
Transportation: Direct flights are available from New
York. Adequate public transportation by air, rail, and bus
is available to and from principal cities. The highway system
is good, and directions are clearly marked.
