Is Morocco strict with clothing? is there a Morocco dress code? One of the most popular and first questions I receive from female travelers to Morocco, the answer is there are no laws in the country governing what you can or can’t wear. But you may want to consider what you wear in order to be respectful towards the local community, You don’t need to dress like locals, but be mindful of local norms. Women – booty shorts, cleavage-bearing or crop tops, and see-through items are not a great idea. As a women tourist in Morocco, you want to avoid unwanted attention as much as you can
Morocco Dress Code In Marrakech or any other big city (Casablanca, Fes, Tangier, Agadir …) walking the streets of a big city like Marrakech you will see women dressing in different ways some girls wear tight jeans,short-sleeved tops, and knee-length skirts. Others wear dresses and skirts some others are wearing more covered clothes, My advice is to be respectful and try to avoid showing a lot of skin.
In Small Villages and Rural Areas
Small villages and Rural areas are different from big cities, people are more traditional and conservative, I was born and raised in a small village in the Atlas Mountains, and now I live in Marrakech where I can wear whatever I want but whenever I am visiting my hometown I always consider what I am wearing and it is definitely a bad idea for women to wear shorts or skirts above the knee, I advise you to wear long pants or dresses and shirts that are t-shirt length.
Examples of what to pack for Morocco for Female Travelers :
