"Booking Travel to Morocco? What You Need to Know"
—
Whether you're a travel agent fielding questions from your clients, or an independent traveller fielding concerns from family and friends, Morocco's a destination that is still overcoming stereotypes and misconceptions, some of which have been around for decades.
The recent exposure to the country, in particular thanks to big soccer results and events, not to mention hit movies and filming locations, means more people than ever are paying attention. In fact, Morocco for the 2nd year in a row is Africa's most-visited destination: 18 million travellers, or nearly a quarter of all tourists to Africa as a whole, visited Morocco. It took a while, but we finally pulled ahead of Egypt!
So you might think that stereotypes have all but faded away. But ask any travel agent and they'll tell you, they're still getting inquiries like, "Is Morocco still a hippie paradise?" "Do people speak English there?" "Is it legal to drink alcohol?" and, "Are there direct flights, or is it a really hard place to get to?"
Today we go over these and more questions, to help you get prepared and confident in booking your trip. As busy as we've become, it's going to get even busier, with the World Cup itself coming in 4 years, and even more flights and infrastructure on the way. So come and explore the fantastic sights, welcoming culture and distinct cuisine, make Morocco your priority in 2026!
