Morocco for older travellers

Comfortable trains and riads; plan around medicines, heat and uneven lanes.

Places that suit you

  1. Casablanca: Hassan II Mosque open to visitors. source
  2. Rabat: Calm capital suggested by Visit Morocco. source

Know before you go

  • Bring enough prescription medicine for the whole trip; pharmacies open 24 hours in every city. source
  • Get travel insurance that covers local treatment and medical evacuation; private clinics are of a higher standard than public ones. source
  • Altitude sickness is a risk in parts of Morocco. source
  • Medina pavements are uneven; crowded lanes and busy streets are a daily difficulty. source
  • Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) suit most of the country; summer is very hot inland. source

Tips that help

  • Check insurance covers evacuation and that you can access funds for treatment. source
  • Morocco is largely cash-based; carry small notes (20, 50, 100 dirhams). source

Good for you

  • First-class train travel between major cities. source
