How do I avoid getting sick in Morocco?
Most stomach trouble comes from water and from food that has been sitting. Drink bottled or filtered water, eat food that is cooked hot in front of you (busy stalls turn food over fast), peel fruit, and go easy on salads at the start.
CDC recommends routine vaccines plus hepatitis A and typhoid for most travellers. Pharmacies are open around the clock in every city (gov.uk), and pharmacists help with travel stomach bugs.
What travellers say goes wrong
People get sick even from riad or hotel food, and the stories online contradict each other.
