Getting around Morocco is surprisingly comfortable and efficient. The ONCF train network is the best way to travel between major hubs (Casablanca, Fes, Marrakech, and Tangier). Morocco is also home to the Al Boraq, Africa's first high-speed rail line, drastically cutting travel time between Casablanca and Tangier. For coastal or mountain towns without train access (like Essaouira or Chefchaouen), premium bus lines like CTM and Supratours offer modern, air-conditioned coaches with reserved seating.

Morocco is an Islamic nation, and showing respect for local culture is paramount. While tourist areas are relaxed, it is highly recommended for both men and women to dress modestly. Aim to keep shoulders and knees covered when walking through the ancient medinas; this prevents unwanted attention and shows respect to local families. Additionally, always ask permission before taking photographs of locals or shop owners, as many prefer not to be photographed.

Haggling is an integral part of Moroccan culture, not an argument. When buying leather goods, rugs, or ceramics in the markets, expect to negotiate. A good rule of thumb is to offer roughly 40-50% of the vendor's initial asking price, and slowly work your way to a middle ground. Keep a smile on your face, be polite, and don't be surprised if a shop owner invites you to sit down and share a glass of sweet mint tea while you discuss the price!
