Your passport should be valid for the proposed duration of your stay; no additional period of validity beyond this is required but it’s recommended to have at least 6 months additional validity beyond your date of entry.
Visa
British nationals don’t need a visa to enter Morocco for tourism for up to 3 months. Make sure your passport is stamped on arrival – some tourists have experienced difficulty when leaving because they don’t have an entry stamp.

Once you have made your booking, you will receive a pre-holiday questionnaire where we ask for details of next of kin, and insurance details. You must complete and return this to us- we need to have this from you at least 10 weeks before travel. Please also inform us of any medical situation which may affect your enjoyment of the holiday. This is important because our leaders have to consider both group and individual safety at all times. 
Whilst out with the group, we respectfully request that you:

Please listen to any safety instructions from the leader
Keep group members in view, especially if weather or visibility is poor
Please stay where you are if you become separated from the group. The leader will retrace their steps to find you.

Each leader carries a first aid kit but is not allowed to supply any medication including aspirin, paracetamol, antihistamines, and antiseptic cream. You may wish to bring these items with you in your own kit.
In the unlikely event that your leader is incapacitated, please use any emergency kit in their rucksack and call emergency services on 19 or 177 (police, either city or suburban) or 15 (ambulance). Please then call our emergency number (sent in your final dispatch) and let us know there is a problem.

Morocco is a Muslim country. Whilst many places we visit are generally accepting of Western attire (you will see Moroccans wearing all styles!), traditional views are still held in smaller villages and in the medinas of the cities.
On your trip we advise you to dress modestly and respectfully. Both men and women should aim to cover their shoulders and knees, especially if visiting religious sites or rural areas. Opt for loose-fitting and conservative clothing to show respect for local customs and traditions.

Arabic is the official language in Morocco, and it is used throughout the country as the everyday spoken language. This is Moroccan Arabic, and it differs quite widely from standard Arabic.
Berber is spoken in the Rif and Atlas Mountains, and French is still regularly used in the cities. Many in tourist sites speak at least some English but some simple pleasantries will go a long way. Your local guide can help you with this, but a few basics include:
‘Es salaam alaykum’ – Hello (formal)
‘Wa alaykum salaam’ – response to greeting
‘Shukran’ – Thank you
‘’Afak/’afik/’afakum’ – Please (said to M/F/Pl)
‘Bessalama/M’a ssalama’ – Goodbye
You will be in Berber country a lot, and some useful words in Berber are:
‘Emen’ – Water
‘Yella!’ – Let’s go!
‘Tighmi’ – House
‘T’ish!’ – Eat!
‘Munchk?’ – How much?
‘Oho’ - No
‘Iya’ – Yes

Luggage allowance
Please check details of your airline’s baggage allowance, as shown on your e-ticket. Remember to also check any connecting flights you may have booked.
Lost/damaged luggage 
If your bag or its contents are damaged or lost while in the airline’s care, this should be reported to the baggage service agents at the airport on arrival. They will assess the damage; in some cases, the airline may decide to settle your claim immediately.
You will be given a reference to quote to your insurance company if an immediate settlement is not possible - in many cases, baggage claims can only be accepted in writing. A baggage claim form must be obtained from the airport.
