IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Morocco can be considered a liberal Muslim country as many Moroccan women do not wear headscarves. However, Morocco is very conservative by the standards you may be accustomed to at home, and you should dress accordingly. As a general guideline, shoulders, cleavage, and knees should be covered at all times. Wearing shorts (men and women), low-cut tops, and showing midriff is not recommended as it will restrict your entry into buildings of a religious nature as well as family homes, and is considered disrespectful to the local culture. Long, light-colored, lightweight sleeved shirts, trousers and skirts are respectful. Cover your body to keep you cool in the heat and protect you from the harsh sun
All areas that customers touch are frequently cleaned
You must keep social distance while in vehicles
The number of visitors is limited to reduce crowds
You are required to bring and wear a mask
Meet your guide in the front of Café France in the Djemaa el-Fnaa of Marrakech (Place Jemaa el Fna, Rue des Banques). As you walk into Djemma El Fnaa through the main entrance, there is a 3-story café on the right side of the square. All through Djemma El Fnaa there are fake guides who will try and convince you to do a tour with them, so please make sure that you find the official guide who will be holding an Urban Adventure sign or badge and waiting for you in front of the café.
