Morocco Packing List

Ultimate Packing List for Morocco – What to Bring for Your Trip | Moroccan Trips

Planning a trip to Morocco? From the bustling souks of Marrakech to the golden dunes of the Sahara, this beautiful country offers a wide range of experiences — and climates! Knowing what to pack is essential to stay comfortable and travel smart.
Here’s your complete Morocco packing list, carefully prepared by Moroccan Trips, to help you pack like a pro.

1. Clothing – Dress Comfortably and Respectfully

Morocco’s weather can vary a lot — from hot desert days to chilly mountain nights — so it’s best to pack layers.

• Lightweight, breathable clothes (cotton or linen) for daytime

• Scarf or shawl – useful for sun protection or visiting mosques

• Light jacket or sweater – evenings can get cool

• Long pants and modest tops – respectful and practical for cities and villages

• Loose dresses or maxi skirts for women

• Hat and sunglasses for sun protection

Tip: Morocco is a Muslim country, so modest clothing is always appreciated — especially in rural areas.

2. Footwear – Comfort Comes First

Whether you’re exploring medinas, hiking in the Atlas Mountains, or walking dunes, comfortable shoes are essential.

• Walking shoes or sneakers – for daily sightseeing

• Sandals or flip-flops – for relaxing at riads or beaches

• Hiking shoes – if you plan to visit the mountains or desert

3. Toiletries and Personal Care

Most essentials are available in Morocco, but it’s easier to bring your own favorites.
