Asked and answered
Do I need a visa to travel to Morocco?
Visa requirements depend on your nationality. Citizens from many countries, including the USA, Canada, and most European nations, can enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. It’s best to check the Moroccan embassy website or contact your local consulate for the latest visa information before traveling.
What is the best time to visit Morocco?
The best time to visit Morocco is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summers can be very hot, especially in the desert and southern regions, while winters may be chilly in the mountains.
Is Morocco safe for tourists?
Yes, Morocco is generally safe for tourists. Petty theft can occur in crowded areas, so it’s advisable to stay vigilant and keep your belongings secure. Avoid traveling alone at night in unfamiliar neighborhoods and follow local customs and advice from your guides.
What languages are spoken in Morocco?
Arabic and Berber are the official languages of Morocco. French is widely spoken, especially in business and tourism. English is increasingly common in tourist areas, but learning a few basic Arabic or French phrases can enhance your experience.
What should I wear when visiting Morocco?
Morocco is a predominantly Muslim country with conservative dress customs. It’s respectful to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites or rural areas. Lightweight, breathable clothing that covers shoulders and knees is recommended. Women might consider carrying a scarf to cover their heads when entering mosques.

Good to know
Travel tips from the peoplewho run the trips.
Pick a question on the left. We answer it the way we would answer it on the phone — with the numbers, and with what we would actually do.
When to go
The comfortable half of the year runs October to April: 20–28 °C in Luxor and Aswan, which is what open-deck sailing and three hours inside a temple actually require.
Daytime20–28 °C
CrowdsPeak Nov–Feb
PricesHighest Dec–Jan
- March and April keep the weather and lose the crowds — the best value window.
- June to August is much cheaper, but afternoons pass 42 °C and excursions run at dawn.
- Christmas and New Year need a 50% deposit, because the cruisers ask us for one too.
Our tip
Book three to four months out for November to February. For a dahabiya, make it four — they carry twelve people and the good cabins go first.
Visas and entry
Most nationalities — US, UK, EU, Australian and Canadian included — get a 30-day tourist visa on arrival, or online as an e-Visa before they fly.
VisaOn arrival
CostUS$25
Valid30 days
- Your passport needs six months’ validity from the day you land.
- The e-Visa is worth doing if you land late — it saves the queue at the bank window.
- We meet you before passport control and handle the paperwork with you.
Our tip
Carry the $25 in cash. The visa window at Cairo takes dollars and gives change in Egyptian pounds, and the card machine is not always working.
Money and tipping
Hotels, cruisers and restaurants take Visa and Mastercard. Markets, tips and small cafés are cash. We quote in US dollars and can invoice in EUR, GBP or AUD.
CardsHotels & cruisers
CashMarkets & tips
QuotesUS dollars
- Tipping is customary, never obligatory, and never inside your price.
- As a guide: $8–10 a day for your guide, $5 for your driver.
- Small notes are worth more than large ones — change is scarce everywhere.
Our tip
Change a little at the airport and the rest at your hotel. Street exchange offices quote well and pay badly.
What to pack
Light cotton for the days, one layer for the evenings, and shoes you can walk a temple in. Everything else you can buy here for less than you paid at home.
DaysLight cotton
EveningsOne warm layer
SitesClosed shoes
- Shoulders and knees covered for mosques — a scarf does the job for both.
- A hat and high-factor sun cream matter more than anything else on this list.
- Deck evenings on the Nile get genuinely cool from December to February.
Our tip
Leave room in the case. Cotton, spices and a hand-made galabeya cost a fraction of the airport price in Khan El Khalili, and your guide will tell you the real one.
Getting around
Cairo to Luxor is an hour by air and ten by road, so almost every itinerary flies it. Between Luxor and Aswan the river is the road, and your room moves with you.
Cairo → Luxor1 hour, by air
Luxor → Aswan3–4 nights
TransfersAll included
- Every transfer, domestic flight and entrance fee sits inside your quote.
- A private car and driver waits for you — no taxis, no haggling, no surprises.
- The sleeper train exists and we will book it, but it is slower and not cheaper.
Our tip
Sail Luxor to Aswan rather than the reverse if you can choose. You go upstream against the current, which means slower, longer afternoons on deck.
