Good to know to visit Morocco

Timetable Timetable

Museums are generally open from 9am to 12.30pm and from 2pm to 7pm. However, these times vary from one place to another, and it is best to enquire beforehand. Some close on Sunday or Monday, while others remain open every day, except on religious holidays.

Main events Main events

Moussems, festivals and other events mark a busy calendar in Morocco throughout the year. Jazz lovers will not want to miss the Jazzablanca festival in April, which rocks Casablanca for nine days, or Tanjazz in September in Tangier, which unveils a quality program every year. In June, the laughter festival in Marrakech is a good time, with sketches to be folded in two. Lovers of the 7th art will go to Marrakech in December for the international film festival where the great names of cinema meet on the red carpet. For a total immersion in Moroccan culture, don't miss the moussems and festivals dedicated to the region's products. The atmosphere is in full swing and it is an opportunity to discover the local traditions and gastronomy.

Guided tours Guided tours

There are many local guides in Morocco. Some claim to be guides, but they are in fact locals who know the area well. They can however accompany you to places of interest, but their knowledge remains limited.

Tourist traps Tourist traps

In Fez, Marrakech or Ouarzazate, it's best to make sure your guide has the official license, if you don't want to become the goose that lays the golden eggs for his merchant friends. However, as everywhere, there are good and bad guides, even with the title in your pocket. We show you trusted guides through our pages.
