Morocco Student Travel Guide
What Students Should Pack for Morocco
A practical list for students and group leaders, including desert night essentials.
Clothing
Morocco is welcoming to visitors, and modest, comfortable clothing makes visits to medinas and villages easier for everyone. Shoulders and knees covered is a good guideline for all genders.
- Light, breathable layers for daytime
- A warm fleece or jacket for evenings and the desert
- Comfortable walking shoes with grip
- A scarf for sun, dust and sacred sites
- Sunhat and sunglasses
For the Sahara night
Desert temperatures fall quickly after sunset, even in spring.
- Warm layer and hat
- Head torch
- Small daypack for the camp (main luggage often stays in the vehicle)
- Reusable water bottle
Documents and money
- Passport valid for at least six months (check entry rules for your nationality)
- Copy of travel insurance details
- Some local cash (dirhams) for small purchases
- Bank card for ATMs in cities
For group leaders
Leaders usually carry a group contact list, emergency information and any medical information collected by the school or university. Keep these secure and accessible.
