Morocco is a safe place to travel, even as a woman alone. Common sense is all you need really to get by without problems. Below is a collection of useful information to help you get off on the right foot. We are always happy to discuss these matters in more detail with you by telephone or email. We have many years of experience and have lived in the country for over a decade and will be able to help you with any questions you may have.
Good health care is available in major cities across the country. Even in smaller towns there are doctors to help with minor injuries, sickness and other less complicated medical needs. If you were to become seriously ill or injured, we always advise to come back to a main city to be treated in a private clinic where all modern equipment is available. Marrakech has an excellent hospital; Polyclinique du Sud and you should not hesitate to go there in an emergency.
If you need a doctor to visit you in your hotel you can either ask the reception to call you a doctor or you can call our Marrakech office and Souad will be happy to arrange a doctor for you.
