Question

✈️ TRAVEL

Answer

Q: When should I land in Morocco? A: Whenever you want and Ryanair permits. We've heard many of you are planning Moroccan holidays before or after the wedding (you're welcome, Moroccan economy). We recommend landing before 3pm on the 18th, or you'll miss the wedding part of your holiday. Q: Which airport do I fly to? A: Closest international airport is Menara - you'll know you're in the right place if you spot 3 hen dos and 5 stag dos. Do not fly to Casablanca unless you’re looking for a 5-hour road trip with questionable snacks. Q: Do I need a visa for Morocco? A: Depends on your passport. Most EU, UK, and US citizens get visa-free entry for up to 90 days. If you're not sure, check Google before you check in. Q: Should I bring Moroccan Dirhams? A: Yes! Many places take card, but small shops, taxis, and snack stalls prefer cash. Bring some in advance or use an ATM (but beware weird conversion rates and rogue fees). Q: Will my straighteners work there? A: Moroccan voltage is 220V. UK/EU devices usually work fine. You'll need a Type C or E (the European 2-pin round ones). UK folks—bring an adapter, unless you’re planning to power your phone with willpower alone.

Question

👗 WHAT TO WEAR

Answer

Q: Mehndi Henna Sundowner dress code? A: Think: corporate employee got invited to Coachella. Bright colours, casual glam, cultural flair. Bonus points for twirl-ability. Q: Wedding dress code? A: Formal, but make it ✨ethnically glam✨ if interested. Long dresses, suits, kaftans, lehengas, or whatever makes you feel like a regal extra from a Netflix period drama. Q: I've heard there might be a women-only dance floor? A: Yes, for one fabulous hour during the Sundowner. Hijabs can come off, hair can come down, and aunties can do the Macarena in peace. Men will be sent off to do something wholesome and supervised.

Question

🍽️ FOOD, FUN, FIZZY VIBES

Answer

Q: I’m vegan/keto/gluten-free/allergic to joy—what about me? A: There will be options. Just let us know in the RSVP form and we’ll make sure you’re fed and fabulous. Q: Will the food be Moroccan? A: Absolutely. Expect tagines, couscous, fresh mint tea, and flavours that will have you googling "how to recreate Moroccan food badly" when you get home. Q: Will there be Pepsi or Coke? A: It’s a Muslim wedding, not a desert wasteland. There will be fizzy drinks. Will they be Pepsi Max? Unclear. (Nadia’s trying to sneak it in.) Q: What if I don’t like the food? A: Then we suggest politely nibbling and focusing on the entertainment. Or befriending someone with snacks in their handbag. Q: Will there be live music? A: Yes. We may have a mix of live drummers, Moroccan musicians and spontaneous auntie ululations. Q: Can I make a song request? A: You can submit one. Whether it gets played depends on vibe, timing, and how respectfully you ask. Bribes welcome. Q: Will there be games or activities? A: Oh yes. Think photo booths, henna corners, possible dance-offs, and the occasional Romanian tradition that ends in laughter and / or confusion. Q: Is there an afterparty? A: We can neither confirm nor deny. But keep your lashes on standby, just in case.

Question

🤔 MISC. CHAOS CONTROL

Answer

Q: Can I bring my situationship/ random influencer friend / cousin's cousin's friend? A: If they’re listed on the website, yes. If not, message us and we’ll discreetly say no (we'll likely say yes, dw). Q: Will Chicoby be there?! A: Tragically, no. The Honourable Lord Sir Chicoby, First of His Name, Destroyer of Air Quality and Keeper of the Living Room Throne, will not be attending the wedding. Why? Because Morocco has zero tolerance for feline visa fraud, and Chicoby refuses to fly economy. Q: Who do I contact if I have questions? A: Please DM Nadia, Talal, or the yet-to-be-named wedding coordinator fairy. If all else fails, shout into the void (but check your spam folder first). Q: Will there be Wi-Fi at the venue? A: Maybe. But if you're asking this before “Will there be bathrooms?” then you need to log off and touch some Moroccan tilework. Q: What time will everything end? A: When it ends. This is a vibe-based wedding, not a train timetable. That said, there will be a schedule (ish) sent out closer to the date so you can pace your eyeliner. Q: Can I give a speech? A: Please. It must meet at least 2 of the following criteria: Funny, Emotionally moving (without triggering a group cry), short.
