Documentation and health
In addition to taking your passport or visa with you, remember to also take your driving license if you plan to rent a vehicle in the neighboring country. Try also to take photocopies of all documents in separate places from the originals in case you lose them.
Currently, Morocco is one of the countries where there are fewer health risks, although there are usual dangers, such as poisoning from drinking tap water. Although there are public clinics, the sanitary infrastructure offered by the African country is a bit limited, therefore, and for greater peace of mind, it is advisable that you take out travel insurance for Morocco beforehand.
On the other hand, getting vaccinated is not part of the requirements to travel to Morocco. Since it is not a country of risk, you do not need to get a vaccine, but if you want to travel more safely, we recommend you get vaccinated for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, tetanus and diarrhea and typhoid fevers.
