Health and Vaccination
In Case of Emergency call 150 for Medical Assistance
While there are no mandatory vaccines required for most travelers to visit Morocco, it is always recommended to be up-to-date on routine vaccinations before traveling to any destination. These typically include:
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Rabies (for travelers involved in outdoor and other activities that might bring them into direct contact with dogs and other animals)
It's always best to consult with a healthcare provider or travel clinic for personalized advice based on your specific health needs and travel plans.
Here are some health tips to consider while visiting Morocco:
Morocco is generally safe, but When traveling, especially to a new country, paying attention to food and drink considerations is essential to maintain good health and avoid common travel-related illnesses. Here are some tips:
Eat at Reputable Places
Choose restaurants and street food vendors with high turnover and good reviews. Look for places busy with locals, as this often indicates good quality and safety.
Avoid Raw or Undercooked Foods
Stick to well-cooked meats, seafood, and eggs. Avoid raw or undercooked dishes, such as rare meats and sashimi.
Avoid lukewarm food
Cold dishes should be served cold, and hot dishes should be served hot. When choosing food from a buffet or salad bar, ensure the hot food is steaming and the cold food is properly chilled. Delicious meals are best enjoyed safely, as germs that cause food poisoning thrive in the danger zone, between 4°C (40°F) and 60°C (140°F).
Water Safety
Drink Bottled or Filtered Water
Always drink bottled water and ensure the seal is intact before consuming. Use water purification tablets or portable filters if bottled water is not available. General Tips
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of fluids, especially in hot climates. Carry a reusable water bottle with a built-in filter.
Pack Snacks
Bring non-perishable snacks like nuts, granola bars, and dried fruit for times when safe food options are not available.
Wash Hands
Wash your hands with soap and water before eating. Use hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available.
By following these food and drink considerations, you can significantly reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses and enjoy a healthier, more pleasant travel experience.
