Everything to know

Question

Travelling to Morocco.

Answer

Yes, you are traveling to North Africa, wooo hooo! You will need to fly into Marrakesh, Menara Airport, unless you are able to teleport... Don't worry, you won't need a visa to enter the country! Upon arrival, in addition to your passport and boarding pass, you will be asked to provide: -Your job title -The address of your hotel or accommodation There is a taxi rank outside the airport, trust us, it will be impossible to miss. Once out of the airport area, if you feel adventurous, you can use InDrive (which is local's version of Uber/Bolt, however they are operating in a "legal grey zone" and local taxi drivers are fighting against them. We have used them a lot and they are much cheaper, but sometime they might ask you to pretend you are their friend, not their customer. Taxis are available throughout the city, but make sure to ask the price first.

Question

Do I need Accommodation?

Answer

Yes, you will need to book accommodation for your time in Marrakesh. Key Dates Arrive: Friday, 20th March 2026 Wedding Day: Saturday, 21st March Post-Wedding Activity: Sunday, 22nd March (we’d love for you to join!) We recommend arriving on the Friday (and not earlier), as it will still be Ramadan and many places may be closed. After the wedding weekend, everything opens up again, so feel free to extend your stay if you wish. You’re welcome to stay anywhere in Marrakesh. However, we suggest the hotels below as they’re closest to the wedding venue: Recommended Hotels / Riads: -Ibis Marrakech Palmeraie (around £40 per night per double room) -Maison Ka (around £60 per night per double room) -Grand Mogador Menara & Spa ( around £90 per night per double room) Recommendation: If you’d like to find the best deals and pair up with others for an Airbnb, let us know and we can add you to a WhatsApp group. Our Wedding Ceremony/Party address is in the Palmeraie area, on an Unnamed Road (and we are not joking), Marrakech, Morocco. The full address will be sent out the day before the wedding, we’d like to keep a little magic in the mystery.

Question

Will I have phone signal?

Answer

This is of course dependent on your provider, but your data most likely won't work in Morocco or will cost a bomb!. Don’t panic, you can get an eSIM before you arrive! The best provider we have used is Airalo, just follow the simple steps and you’ll have data the moment you land. Make sure you do that before you leave home or you will have to do it with the airport Wifi on arrival. If you decide to stay longer, it's worth buying a local sim. 🇭🇷 Croatian: Ovo naravno ovisi o vašem pružatelju usluge, ali vrlo vjerojatno vaš mobilni internet neće raditi u Maroku ili će koštati pravo bogatstvo! Ne brinite, možete nabaviti eSIM prije dolaska! Najbolji pružatelj kojeg smo koristili je Airalo – samo slijedite jednostavne korake i imat ćete internet čim sletite. Obavezno to učinite prije polaska od kuće, inače ćete morati koristiti Wi-Fi na aerodromu po dolasku. Ako odlučite ostati dulje, isplati se kupiti lokalnu SIM karticu. 🇷🇴 Romanian: Desigur, depinde de furnizorul tău de telefonie mobila, însă cel mai probabil datele mobile nu vor funcționa în Maroc sau vor costa o avere! Nu te panica, poți obține un eSIM înainte de a ajunge! Cel mai bun furnizor pe care l-am folosit este Airalo. Instalează eSIM-ul înainte de a pleca de acasă pentru a avea internet imediat după aterizare. Dacă nu, poți folosi Wi-Fi-ul aeroportului la sosire, însă acesta nu este întotdeauna stabil. Dacă decizi să rămâi mai mult timp în Maroc, merită să cumperi o cartelă SIM locală.

Question

What currency do they use?

Answer

The local currency in Morocco is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD), and yes, they can drive you a little mad hahaha. Dirhams are a closed currency, meaning you generally can’t buy them outside Morocco. As a conversion reference: 100 MAD is roughly £8/ 10 euros. While many places accept credit and debit cards, it’s still wise to carry some cash, especially for local markets, small vendors and taxis. ATM's are readily available, but the commission is very high. Be careful at the airport: the exchange rates are very high too, so don’t convert more than £30 when you arrive. One of the best exchange offices we found is located at: Rooftop Hotel Ali Rue Moulay Ismail, Marrakech 40000, Morocco Expect a queue, large rate boards, and some of the best rates in town. 🇭🇷 Croatian: Lokalna valuta u Maroku je marokanski dirham (MAD). Dirhami su zatvorena valuta, što znači da ih općenito ne možete kupiti izvan Maroka. 100 MAD je otprilike 9.5 euros. Iako mnoga mjesta prihvaćaju kreditne i debitne kartice, pametno je imati malo gotovine, posebno za lokalne tržnice ili manje prodavače. Budite oprezni na aerodromu: tečajevi tamo su vrlo visoki, pa nemojte mijenjati više od £30 kada stignete. Jedan od najboljih mjenjačnica koje smo pronašli nalazi se na adresi: Rooftop Hotel Ali Rue Moulay Ismail, Marrakech 40000, Maroko 🇷🇴 Romanian: Moneda locală în Maroc este dirhamul marocan (MAD) Dirhamii sunt o monedă închisă, ceea ce înseamnă că, în general, nu îi poți cumpăra în afara Marocului. 100 MAD ≈ 44 RON. Deși multe locuri acceptă carduri de credit și debit, este totuși înțelept să ai ceva numerar. Ai grijă la aeroport: ratele de schimb sunt foarte mari, așa că nu schimba mai mult de 50 RON la sosire. Una dintre cele mai bune case de schimb pe care le-am găsit se află la: Rooftop Hotel Ali Rue Moulay Ismail, Marrakech 40000, Maroc

Question

Customs & Culture – What to Know.

Answer

Dress the part- Morocco is stylish and modest. Light, breathable clothing that covers your shoulders and knees is ideal when exploring traditional areas or visiting mosques. Swimwear is completely fine at the beach or by the pool. Warm welcomes- Locals are famously hospitable. Expect big smiles, handshakes, and sometimes a hand over the heart, it means “you’re welcome here.” Photos: ask first- Especially in markets or when photographing people. It’s just a sign of respect. Tipping is normal – A small tip (10%) is appreciated in restaurants, taxis, and by hotel staff. Keep a few coins or small notes handy. Haggling is part of the fun! – In the souks (markets), you’re expected to bargain a little. It’s not rude, it’s a game! Smile, stay friendly, and walk away if you’re not into the price.

Marrakech - A little history!

Answer

Morocco has been a crossroads of culture for centuries, blending Berber, Arab, African, and European influences into something truly unique. It’s one of the oldest monarchies in the world and has been home to ancient trading cities, powerful empires, sultans, and great scholars. Marrakech, founded in the 11th century, it is famous for its vibrant medina and buzzing markets. The city blends ancient history with colourful traditions, incredible architecture, and unforgettable food. It’s a place where every corner feels alive and full of character. So, we thought… why not add to the history books and celebrate our love story right here? 🇭🇷 Croatian: Maroko je stoljećima bio raskrižje kultura, spajajući berberske, arapske, afričke i europske utjecaje u nešto doista jedinstveno. To je jedna od najstarijih monarhija na svijetu i dom je drevnih trgovačkih gradova, moćnih carstava, sultana i velikih učenjaka. Marrakech, osnovan u 11. stoljeću, poznat je po svojoj živopisnoj medini i užurbanim tržnicama. Grad spaja drevnu povijest s šarenim tradicijama, nevjerojatnom arhitekturom i nezaboravnom hranom. Svaki kutak ovdje odiše životom i karakterom. Pa smo pomislili… zašto ne bismo dodali svoju priču ljubavi u povijest upravo ovdje? 🇷🇴 Romanian: Marocul a fost timp de secole un punct de întâlnire al culturilor, îmbinând influențe berbere, arabe, africane și europene într-un mod cu adevărat unic. Este una dintre cele mai vechi monarhii din lume și a fost casă pentru orașe comerciale antice, imperii puternice, sultani și mari savanți. Marrakech, fondat în secolul al XI-lea, este faimos pentru medina sa vibrantă și piețele sale aglomerate. Orașul îmbină istoria antică cu tradiții colorate, arhitectură incredibilă și mâncare de neuitat. Fiecare colț aici pare plin de viață și caracter.
