Culture & Local Etiquette

1. Morocco Is a Muslim Country
   Respect for local customs is important. Modest clothing is appreciated, especially in traditional towns and rural areas.
2. Greetings Are a Big Deal
   A warm “Salam Alaikum” (peace be upon you) goes a long way. Expect handshakes, and don’t be surprised if locals are genuinely welcoming — Moroccan hospitality is real.
3. Tipping Is Customary
   Tipping is part of daily life. We recommend budgeting small amounts for guides, drivers, hotel staff, and restaurant servers.
