Rules in force · 11Nine African countries on this site have no trip line bec…Taxis stop at a medina gate or square, not at the riad door
- Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
- Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
- North Africa ↗Plan links between North African countries by air or by ferry via Europe; the only regularly usable land borders for visitors are Tunisia–Algeria and Morocco–Mauritania via Western Sahara.
- North Africa ↗Book Saharan nights (dunes, desert camps, oasis tours) between October and April; from May to September desert day temperatures regularly exceed 40 °C and many tours stop.
- Morocco ↗Check entry rules for your passport with the Moroccan consulate or official government sources before booking; visa exemptions depend on nationality.
- Morocco ↗The Moroccan dirham is a closed currency: you normally obtain it on arrival (ATMs, exchange desks) and change leftovers back before departure, keeping exchange receipts.
- Morocco ↗Do not bring a drone without prior authorisation: drones are routinely confiscated at customs.
- Morocco ↗During Ramadan, do not eat, drink or smoke in the street in daylight; tourist restaurants and hotels still serve.
- Marrakech and the High Atlas ↗Dec–Feb: snow can close the Tizi n'Tichka pass and mountain roads for hours or days; ask your driver about the road before you leave.
- Marrakech ↗Taxis stop at a medina gate or square, not at the riad door: send your flight number and ask the riad to meet you at a named gate with a porter.
- Marrakech ↗Anyone who offers directions, says a road is closed or leads you to a shop or tannery expects payment: say no thanks and keep walking, or ask a shopkeeper.
