Morocco is deeply rooted in traditions, hospitality, and respect. Visitors are warmly welcomed, especially when they show sensitivity to local customs. Modest clothing is recommended in religious sites and smaller towns, while major cities are more relaxed. Simple gestures like greeting people politely or asking before taking photos create positive and respectful interactions.
