Travel insurance
Check whether your bank card or home insurance already covers this trip.
If the trip needs a visa, the travel agent or visa centre usually sells the cover it asks for.
Mobile data (eSIM)
Your own plan's EU roaming may already cover this.
Renting a pocket Wi-Fi is the other common way to stay connected.
These are sites people in book with. Each opens in a new tab, on the site's own pages.

Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.
Weather read at the medina, 6 km from the airport (TTU): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.
A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

Before you go
Type C and E plugs at 127 / 220 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Moroccan dirham. No UK Foreign Office advice against travel. Global Affairs Canada: Exercise a high degree of caution (with regional advisories). US State Department: Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution. Everything for Morocco: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.
Being there
On arrival
- Paying — Still largely cash: cards work in bigger hotels, upscale restaurants and some shops, but markets, cafés and taxis want dirhams. Carry small notes.
- UPI, for visitors from India — Not accepted for paying here; bring a card that works abroad.
- Tipping — Round up or leave 5-10% in cafés and casual restaurants, 10-15% in smarter ones; give taxi drivers a few dirhams.
Getting around Tétouan
- Apps — Rides: inDrive, Yango. Maps: Google Maps, Apple Maps. Messages: WhatsApp.
The CTM bus station and the non-CTM bus station are in the center, though the walk from the CTM station to the center is a hike up a rather steep hill. More on Wikivoyage

Help
- Emergency — police 190 · ambulance and fire 150.
TravelCharika is not an emergency service: we cannot call for help or send anyone. Numbers can change; if one fails, ask someone local or your hotel.
Your embassy — : how to reach your embassy or consulate abroad. A guess from your city, : a city is not a passport.
