Tips:

•  As you pack your clothes, you should consider the country's culture. Morocco is a conservative country, so you might want to dress modestly, covering your knees and shoulders at all times. 

• For the festival, no need to bring a gala or fancy clothes, but you might want to dress up a little bit for the concerts. The dress code is no flip flops or shorts.

• Please remember you will catch a flight from Fez to Marrakesh, so if possible, pack light. 

• You must take off your shoes while visiting Mosques.
