Our recommendations:

The currency in Morocco is the dirham, but euros are also accepted. Bring 1 € coins and small bills (5 €, 10 €, 20 €) to make purchases easier. It is not recommended to exchange money, as they charge a commission.

If you have any food allergies, inform the restaurant waiter, and they will offer a simple alternative. If you wish, you can bring a backpack with food and drinks (it’s a long day).

We recommend bringing sunscreen, a hat, a jacket, comfortable shoes, and medication to avoid seasickness (e.g., Biodramina).

If you need to park your car, we recommend arriving 1 hour and 30 minutes before departure. We can inform you about parking areas.

Bring a pen to complete the form on the ferry.

Put your phone on airplane mode to avoid additional charges (20 €).
