Packing the right gear (and the right amounts) is an important step in every travel experience. Follow these tips to pack like a pro:
- Travel light. Pack only the essentials. You’ll need less than you think!
- Bring the right clothes. Pack clothes that are culturally appropriate for your destination. For Morocco, this means long shorts (think Bermuda and basketball shorts) or pants, shirts that cover shoulders, and appropriate footwear.
- Weather can be variable in any season. We recommend packing clothing that can be easily layered to adjust to changing temperatures.
- While traveling, it’s easier for things to get lost, damaged, or stolen. Keep any prized possessions and valuables safe at home.
- Check with TSA. Make sure your luggage (especially carry-on) complies with TSA regulations.
