An amazing place to travel, especially for winter. The continental Europeans have been coming here for years in their 'white boxes' of all shapes and sizes. Joined now by the British and some Irish!  I would highly recommend spending as long as you can. Morocco offers a 90 day visa to most, always check your visa entitlement.

On some of the practicalities as they were for us in 2024.

‍Ferry we took the tried and tested route for 'vanners', and bought our tickets from Carlos - well known travel agent in Algeciras, Spain. Other providers are available, the merits of which are well debated on the various Facebook forums - makes 'interesting' reading!

We had enough to be thinking about on our first trip to Africa in our van, and there didn't seem be much in the difference at a glance. We paid £280 (Jan 2024) for our open return ticket - 7m motorhome and 2 passengers for an open return ticket. The journey from Algeciras to Tanger Med takes about 90mins on the sea. Choose your ferry time wisely, leave yourself plenty of time for delays, getting through immigration on the other side and getting to your first destination.

Campsites and park ups. We used Park 4 Night App (P4N) all around Morocco and had no issues with campsites or park ups. All of our reviews are under our handle @silo2022. The average campsite price in 2024 for us was €10 (all services).

Roads in Morocco - the main and tolls roads are generally in good condition in Morocco, some of the more rural roads require more care.

Moroccan's, in our experience, are considerate drivers but they are assertive. And sometimes you will notice the rules of the road are treated as a guide rather than a rule -so just be alert! Always focus on your driving and what is around you - and I mean all around you -people walk, wait for taxis, just stand on motorways, stand or walk around roundabouts. The police are on nearly every roundabout in towns and can stop someone on the inner lane! This all takes a bit of getting used to and can make a drive quite tiring. And I haven't mentioned the animals you will come across on and by the roads - donkey's, chickens, cows, dogs and camels.
Never drive at night here!

Fuel stations are widely available in Morocco - mostly taking cash payment but some do take card. In 2024 diesel was €1.30 a litre.

Banks/Money - Morocco is still a cash economy and this you will have to get used to! We tried to use card in lots of places -but the machine is always 'broken'!!!

We use Revolut for all our travelling and currency exchange. We found that using the Al Bairid Post Maroc branches do not have a withdrawal fee!

Always check your banks arrangements! Note that we have a Revolut Mastercard and Revolut Visa - just in case.

In Morocco two of the ATMs did not want to withdraw on Mastercard. Glad we had the back up.

We had some Euro currency with us and some Dollars (not essential) but we could exchange at the many many Cash Plus Shops in most towns or if we had any ATM issues.

Shopping tip - we find this in many countries that the prices are not listed. So, ask how much. Do it soon and practice it. If there is no price ask or just don't buy it.

Weather -what to expect? Where we travelled we experienced really nice weather in Morocco, low/mid 20 degrees celsius, we also experience heavy rain and wind mainly in the north of the country. Just remember you are still in the Northern Hemisphere, it is technically winter, so manage your expectations.

I always use Yr.com (Norweigan forecaster) and Windy.com for my weather forecast - most reliable I think.
