Health risks are relatively low compared to sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia, but Hepatitis A and typhoid vaccination are recommended. There is no malaria risk and no Yellow Fever requirement for direct UK travel.

Travel Health Tips for Morocco
Practical tips to help you stay safe, healthy, and prepared throughout your trip.
Travel tip 1
- Drink bottled water — tap water in Morocco is not reliably safe outside major hotels.
Travel tip 2
- Food hygiene in tourist restaurants is generally good, but be cautious with street food — eat where turnover is high.
Travel tip 3
- Rabies is present — avoid contact with stray cats and dogs, which are common in medinas and rural areas.
Travel tip 4
- Sun protection and hydration are critical, especially in the Sahara and during summer months.
Travel tip 5
- If trekking in the Atlas Mountains, consider altitude sickness medication for routes above 3,000m (Toubkal summit is 4,167m).
When to Get Vaccinated
Hepatitis A and DTP can be given same-day. Plan 3–4 weeks ahead for Rabies if trekking in the Atlas Mountains or visiting rural areas.
Best Time to Visit
March to May and September to November (mild temperatures). Summer (June–August) is extremely hot inland, especially in Marrakech and the Sahara. Winter is cold in the Atlas Mountains but mild on the coast.
