Dear guests, according to Moroccan immigration and foreign exchange management regulations, individuals carrying more than €4,000 (inclusive) in foreign currency cash when entering or leaving Morocco must present their entry declaration or relevant documents issued by local banks. Otherwise, customs may seize the cash or take corresponding measures. We kindly remind all groups to strictly comply with Moroccan regulations.

7)Marrakech Jemaa el-Fnaa Square Reminder: The square is crowded; please keep your personal belongings secure. Additionally, there are many vendors and stall owners selling items in the square. Shopping is a personal activity, so visitors should verify the authenticity of products themselves. The square also features fee-based activities, such as painting by Moroccans. Visitors should be aware of these charges.

8)Shopping Reminder: Local guides in Morocco may promote products, but the authenticity of these items cannot be guaranteed. Purchasing is entirely voluntary for visitors. Particularly in Fez's old city, there are many shops and workshops showcasing traditional crafts, such as mosaics, bronze, carpets, and leather. These do not belong to typical tourist shopping stores. If local guides promote shopping or visits to stores, visitors should decide voluntarily based on their preferences. Our company does not enforce shopping or store visits.

The local McDonald's is about 7 euros. You can prepare some cash in advance according to your own consumption, such as about 40 euros per day. It is recommended to bring a credit card.

· Winter and early spring clothing preparation: The preparation of clothing should be determined according to the changes in the seasons. The four seasons are mild and humid. In winter and spring, December, January, February and March, the weather is slightly cooler with an average temperature of 12°C. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large. It is recommended to prepare some jackets, windbreakers, sweaters, etc. There may be rain in the middle and late November, December, and January, so please bring your own umbrella.

There may be wind and sand in the desert. If you want, you can prepare headscarves, scarves, etc.
· Dress: Morocco is a Muslim country. Ladies should avoid overly revealing clothes, especially during Ramadan, which is more likely to cause disgust or extreme behavior among local residents. If you choose to enter Rick Coffee, casinos, high-end hotel cafes, and restaurants, you need to wear formal clothes. If you have plans, you need to prepare in advance.
· Daily necessities preparation: Due to the influence of Europe, Moroccan hotels often do not have disposable items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and slippers. Most hotels are not equipped with kettles, and hair dryers may not be equipped in all hotels. If necessary, it is recommended that guests bring their own in advance.
· Motion sickness and related medicine preparation: Many medicines in Moroccan pharmacies require doctor's prescriptions, and medical expenses are expensive. There are many mountain roads in Morocco, and the seat layout of local vehicles may be back-seat, so it is recommended to bring common medicines, such as motion sickness medicine and sulfamethoxazole, in case of emergency.
· Personal travel insurance: Although our company has travel liability insurance according to legal requirements, it can only be activated in the event of a major travel accident. According to international travel practices, we strongly recommend that you purchase an international travel insurance (preferably with emergency rescue) before traveling, and the destination must cover Morocco to add an extra layer of protection for yourself.
· Drone ban: Morocco prohibits drones. If they are discovered by Moroccan customs, they may be seized or confiscated. If the police discover drones on the road, they may also be confiscated and even prosecuted.
· Professional cameras/cameras: Morocco prohibits any unlicensed advertising, news, videos, film and television programs, commercial videos and other shooting activities, so professional equipment without a license may be seized by customs. For example, please carefully evaluate the professional telephoto cameras and cameras, and it is recommended to carry them separately if you must carry them.
· Currency exchange: Morocco’s common local currency is the Moroccan Dirham (DHS/MAD), and most local hotels and banks can provide currency exchange services. It is recommended that you bring foreign currencies such as US dollars, euros, and pounds to exchange for currency locally. Please keep the exchange receipts and exchange them at the airport bank on your return trip. According to experience, the exchange rate of banks or banks in the city after the airport customs clearance is relatively fair.
· Phone card: Before traveling, you can check whether your mobile phone has opened international roaming service. If you need a local phone card, most of the luggage claim areas in Casa or Marrakech, Morocco, have local SIM card booths. You can make calls for 1 or 2 minutes. You need to recharge your phone or Internet fees by yourself, about 1 euro 1G. Most airports have recharge telecommunications services.
Power bank: Most tourist buses and desert tents do not have charging sockets. If necessary, please bring your own power bank.
· Conversion plug: Morocco has universal European and German standard sockets. If necessary, please prepare conversion plugs by yourself.

· About some attractions and facilities:
Most of the desert luxury tents do not have air conditioning. It is colder in December/January/February and hotter in July and August.

It is recommended to wear thick clothes or down jackets when going out to stargaze at night.
· Camel: The desert camel project is dangerous. Please choose to ride or give up according to your own situation. Children under 12 years old are not allowed to ride alone. They need to be accompanied by their parents, who are responsible for the ride. Children, teenagers, and the elderly should choose camels carefully. This project is risky and it is entirely a personal choice whether to ride or not. Any fall, bite, or other injury is the sole responsibility of the individual.

If there are local guides selling goods and shopping shops, please choose whether to buy voluntarily according to your own situation. Our company does not force you to go shopping in the store. Marrakech · Sleepless Square Reminder: The square is crowded, please be sure to keep your own finances; in addition, the square is full of individuals and stall owners selling goods. Shopping is a personal behavior. Please identify the authenticity of the goods by yourself; the square has Moroccan painting and other projects. This activity is a charged project, please be aware of it.
· Forgotten reminder: Please check whether there are any items left in the room before checking out, especially small items that are easily forgotten, such as passports, identity residence permits, mobile phones, glasses, chargers, conversion plugs, jewelry, etc. . . Please do not leave items on the car seat. If you forget something, our company will try to help you find it, but will not be responsible for any damage caused by lost items.
· Tips: Morocco is a country with tips. You can give a tip of 1-2 euros after enjoying the hotel or restaurant service. The driver recommends that you see the price list for tips.
· Taking photos: Many local people are reluctant to enter the camera, especially the local masked ladies. You need to ask for the other party's consent when taking photos with others or taking pictures of people.
· Chatting up and hand-painting: If you are approached on the road, please ignore it. There are young people who pretend to be kind and lead the way or take the initiative to help in good faith, but they often ask for tips at the end. If you encounter local women selling "Hannah hand-painting" on the road, they are mostly blackmail.
· Tax refund: You can enjoy the tax refund policy when shopping in Morocco's Dutyor Taxe free stores. You can get a 13% tax refund for purchases over 2,000 dirhams. Guests need to go to the customs with the tax refund form to check the tax refund items and stamp them (you can ask the airport staff for the specific location), and then go to the tax refund window (Global Blue or bank) to apply for a tax refund. It is recommended to carry tax refund items by hand or refund tax before consignment.

Otherwise, customs may seize or deal with it accordingly. In view of this, all groups are reminded to strictly abide by the relevant regulations of Morocco.
· Health tips: Because Morocco has high temperatures, mountains, and canyons in the summer, and it takes a long time to pull a car to the desert area, please understand whether your physical condition is suitable.

5. Safety first when traveling

· Avoid traveling at night: Although the overall public security in Morocco is acceptable, there are instability factors in any country at night, especially on weekend nights, when football fans are extremely unstable. It is recommended to return to the hotel at night and try not to travel far unless necessary, let alone. If you must travel, it is also recommended to travel in groups, preferably with a boy.
· Traveling alone: ​​Group activities are the safest way to travel. During the tour, please avoid leaving the group and acting alone. Do not talk to strangers. Be sure to write down the hotel address and phone number at each stop.
· Thieves: Morocco thieves are everywhere, and robberies also happen from time to time. Therefore, valuables such as passports, air tickets, cash, cameras, jewelry, watches, etc. must be carried with you. It is best to carry a shoulder bag diagonally to avoid being taken away by motorcycle gangs. Try not to talk on the phone while walking on the side of the road.
· Preservation of valuables: Valuables cannot be placed on the bus. If the vehicle is stolen, smashed, or robbed, the driver and the car company will not compensate. Please take good care of your personal belongings. Valuables should not be left in the room. They should be stored in the hotel safe or carried at any time for safekeeping (including breakfast. Do not separate people and bags). (Like most hotels in the world, Moroccan hotel cleaning staff may enter the room with or without people to change bedding, supplies, and repair... Limited by the country's economic conditions and development status, in order to avoid the situation where local hotel staff with low quality are tempted by money, please take care to keep your own finances)
· Sidewalk: Traffic in Morocco is more chaotic in some areas, and traffic lights are regarded as non-existent. Please be careful when crossing the road. Do not stop on the road, and walk on the sidewalk.
· Drinking: There are special places for drinking in Morocco. According to local regulations, it is prohibited to bring alcoholic beverages into the restaurant to drink by yourself, otherwise it may cause local police intervention and criminal liability.
· Driving safety: Pay attention to riding safety. Please fasten your seat belt and do not walk in the car while the tourist bus is driving.
· Seat belts: According to local laws, you should wear seat belts (co-pilot, passenger seat) during driving (including when waiting for red lights). If you are fined by the police for not wearing seat belts, the fine will be borne by the guest.
· Risky projects: Please be cautious when participating in risky projects such as camels. There have been incidents of falling from camels, camels biting people out of fear, etc. It is strictly forbidden to hold an umbrella while riding. It is recommended that children, teenagers, and the elderly give up this project. Other projects such as desert motorcycles also have risks. Please consider your own situation and bear all risks and responsibilities.
· Accidents: As mentioned above, we strongly recommend that you purchase personal travel accident insurance (covering the destination Morocco) locally before traveling. If there is an accident, please call our emergency number and we will try our best to help solve it.
