How to be a good tourist in Morocco

How to be a respectful tourist in Morocco for everyone visiting Morocco, one of the main purpose of the visit is to discover the Moroccan culture, so at least you need to show respect to this culture!!

in this series of subject I will try to show how, first for girls and woman:

1. DRESS APPROPRIATELY

It is necessary to dress well to cover the majority of the body (No need for veil), if it is the opposite it is necessary not to take the sights on the street like harassment, they just look to you because your dress is weird, that's all.

2. SMILE AND SAY SALAM

the big majority of moroccan citizens are welcoming people and some of many ways to show this is the big smile on thiere faces and saying Salam to everyone, so it will be so respectful if you turnback the Salam or simply say Shoukran!!

3. SPEAK THE LANGUAGE ?

Moroccans speak a mixture of Arabic, Berber, French, Spanish (in the north) and English. You’ll be fine with English in most of the larger cities, but you’ll probably need a translator in the rural parts of the country.

• Hello (Peace Be With You): Salam Alikome (salaam a eleikum)

• Thank You: Choukran (shokran)

• No Thank You: La Choukran (la shokran). This one is useful when you have a bunch of street vendors hassling you to buy something.

• Watch Out: Balak, or Andak Although you won’t use this yourself, you’ll most likely hear this in the medinas or souks (outdoor markets). It will be said by locals coming by with a mule, motorcycle, or cart and is a warning to move to the side or get run over.

• Welcome: Marhaban or Mrehba
