If you want to fit in a little better, then you could consider packing long pants. However, for the summer months or if you are going to the desert, you might want cargo shorts or something of that nature to stay cool. You should definitely bring comfortable walking shoes to wear in Morocco. Most tours involve a lot of walking to see the beautiful sights.
Sandals are convenient to keep your feet cool as long as they are sturdy. If you are going to the desert , you will want to have a pair of closed toed shoes available because the sand can burn your feet in the summer.
Be aware that many women who pack high heels find they only wore them at dinners or restaurants. Many hotels and riads have lovely swimming pools for their guest.
We choose to advise on the side of being conservative out of respect, so we advise a one piece or tankini for the women instead of a bikini. In the same way, we advise men to bring swimming shorts instead of a Speedo.
Moroccans do tend to dress up more than Americans. Although you still want to respect the Moroccan culture of modesty for these dinners, at a hotel you will be able to be more relaxed since it is a tourist environment. Personally, I would never be thinking about exercising on vacation, but there are those who love exercising wherever they go.
If you will be using the gym in the hotel, then most exercise clothes that you are accustomed to wearing in your home country will be fine. If you are planning on running outside, then women should pack pants past the knee with a long loose shirt.
The length of the shirt is especially important if you are wearing leggings. Contrary to popular belief, it can get quite cold in Morocco. We advise bringing a jacket or sweatshirt that you can wear in the evenings or mornings when it is chilly.
It especially gets cold in the mountains or in the desert during the night. Make sure you leave some space in your suitcases for things you might purchase while in Morocco.
Many visitors love the traditional dress of Morocco and want to bring a djellaba or kaftan back. A djellaba is the loose robe-like garment that Moroccan men and women wear over anything.
It usually has a hood and, often hand sewn, decoration on it. A kaftan is the fancier version of a djellaba. I know the evenings will be cold!! Not freezing, but sweater weather. Hi — your blog is so informative. Many thanks. My husband and I are travelling for a week in May, I really dont know what to wear during the day?

Luckily for guys, they get a lot more flexibility when it comes to choosing what to wear in Morocco.
The most important thing to consider when deciding what shoes to wear in Morocco is comfort. I love walking in comfortable sandals, but others prefer close toed shoes because the streets especially in the Old Town can be really dusty and so your feet get pretty gross at the end of the day.
What I would avoid are impractical shoes like heels and flip flops for walking around, but otherwise, bring whatever shoes you find comfortable and match reasonably well with the clothing you bought. One of the best parts about visiting Morocco is the abundance of cool shopping opportunities.
