Dressing correctly for your location is important for showing respect, but also in many places for your safety too. For example, there are many religious or cultural sites in Marrakech where a more strict dress-code is enforced than in the market areas or general streets. As a woman especially, the clothes you wear can have a real impact on your enjoyment of a place.
Most male tourists wear shorts and t-shirts or polo shirts and trainers or sandals by day, and jeans, linen trousers or chinos and shirts with closed shoes or trainers at night. A jacket or blazer is a good idea if you plan to eat out at an upmarket restaurant.
Definitely pack a couple of sweaters and a warm jacket if visiting Marrakech in the winter. A hardy pair of walking shoes is also a must if you plan on doing a lot of sightseeing.

Here are a few ideas on what to pack for your holiday in Marrakech. Wardrobe must-haves for women travelling to Marrakech Forget tiny shorts, strappy vests and bikinis although you will be able to wear these inside most riads and hotels.
The best advice is to wear clothes that are cool, but allow you to blend in. Before you start throwing in your strappy tops, short shorts, miniskirts, tank tops, crop tops or anything else that might show off your legs, shoulders and cleavage….
There is no official dress code or laws in Marrakech but as a Muslim country it is very disrespectful to be showing off too much skin. If you are looking at the weather and thinking suns out guns out then be prepared for a lot of unwanted attention, especially if you are female. Bearing this in mind we suggest packing the following:. This is a must. Whatever time of year you go it is going to be warm so a light t-shirt would be best.
It will also cover your shoulders and chest so ticks the respect boxes. Before you go why not check out our Morocco T-s hirts. Even if you are just staying in the city it is going to be sandy and dusty, you are on the edge of a desert after all!
So, if you are packing sandals or flip flops prepare for your feet to get very dirty. Put this type of shoe on as well if you are venturing into the sandy desert to do activities such as camel riding or quad biking. If you are planning on leaving Marrakech to explore the magnificent Atlas Mountains then you might get away with a decent pair of trainers but a pair of walking shoes would probably be better.

It will just drag on the sandy, dusty ground and get very dirty very quickly. So skirts help the girls but what about the boys?
Not many Moroccan men wear shorts. If you want to fit into the Moroccan culture then pack a pair of jeans, light trousers or chinos. Chinos are lighter and a bit more breathable than jeans making them more comfortable in a hot climate. You can dress up or down with this style of trouser as well which is a bonus. However, it does get quite cool in the evenings, especially in the winter months so by all means pack a pair of jeans.
Girls, if you are not a fan of skirts then take your jeans or loose trousers too as they will obviously still cover your pins. They will also be way more comfortable to wear than a skirt if you are planning the likes of camel riding.

You might lap up the sun during the day but it can be cool at night and first thing in the morning, especially outside of summer months. Also, if you are thinking of heading out into the countryside to explore the Atlas Mountains or taking a camel ride in the desert then take a couple of layers. As you know, mountains are chilly and the desert goes from scorching hot during the day to very cold at night, even in the summer.
