    Wakha is a way to travel

    In Morocco, wakha means yes, OK, deal, let's go. You'll hear it a hundred times a day.

    It's also the best advice we know for a trip here. Say yes to the glass of tea, to the shop you'll leave without buying, to the detour through a village that isn't on your map.

    Yes comes easier when you know what's fair, what's polite and what happens next. That's what Wakha is for: every question visitors ask, answered plainly and with sources, before the trip and during it.

    Quick answers

    Do I need a visa? Citizens of about 70 countries, including the EU, the UK, the US, Canada and Australia, can stay up to 90 days without one, with a passport valid for six months. Lists differ between sources, so check your nationality with a Moroccan consulate before booking.

    Is Morocco safe? It's one of the most visited countries in Africa. What visitors usually meet is overcharging and pushy selling, not danger; normal city sense at night is enough.

    What should I wear? Light clothes that cover shoulders and knees are comfortable and respectful, in the medinas especially. Beachwear is fine on the beach.

    Can I visit mosques? Most are open to Muslims only. The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca runs guided visits for everyone.

    Is it OK to travel during Ramadan? Yes. Sights stay open and evenings are lively after iftar. Avoid eating in the street during the day, out of respect.

    Which language do people speak? Darija (Moroccan Arabic) and Amazigh. French is widely used, English more and more in cities, Spanish in the north.

    Cash or card? Cash for taxis, souks and small cafés; cards in hotels and larger restaurants. Each ATM withdrawal with a foreign card costs 20–35 MAD.

    How long should a first trip be? Ten days covers Marrakech, the desert, Fes and Chefchaouen without rushing. Five is enough for Marrakech and one escape.
