Question

What should I wear?

Answer

For our wedding in Morocco, we want you to feel both stylish and comfortable! Since it will be quite HOT in August, we encourage you to wear light and flowy attire. Kaftan dresses, breezy fabrics, and bold colors are not only welcome but will also help you stay cool while celebrating with us. We can’t wait to see your fabulous outfits and share this beautiful occasion together!

Question

What should I wear outside the Riad (women)?

Answer

When visiting Marrakech, it’s important to dress respectfully while also being comfortable in the warm climate. For women, we recommend wearing light, breathable fabrics that cover the shoulders and knees, such as maxi dresses, long skirts, or lightweight trousers. Loose-fitting tops are also a great choice. While the city is quite tourist-friendly, being mindful of local customs is appreciated. You may also want to consider bringing a light scarf or shawl to cover your shoulders when visiting religious sites or more traditional areas. Bold colors and stylish accessories are welcome, allowing you to express your personal style while remaining respectful of the local culture. Enjoy your time exploring the vibrant streets of Marrakech!

Question

What currency is used in Marrakesh, Morocco?

Answer

The currency used in Morocco is the Moroccan dirham (MAD), which is different from the American dollar (USD). Currently, the exchange rate can fluctuate, so it's a good idea to check the latest rates before your trip. In general, the dirham is divided into 100 centimes. When traveling, it’s advisable to have some local currency on hand for small purchases, as not all places may accept credit cards. Currency exchange services are widely available at airports, banks, and exchange bureaus throughout Marrakech. Additionally, ATMs are readily accessible for withdrawing Moroccan dirhams. For a quick and secure way to exchange money, consider using Wise. It offers competitive rates and can help you manage your currency exchange efficiently. If you have any questions about currency exchange or need assistance, feel free to reach out to Nicholas at (814) 273-0915.

Question

How should I get there?

Answer

To get to our destination wedding in Marrakech, Morocco, you have a few travel options. The most convenient way is to fly into Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK), which is well-connected to major cities around the world. From the airport, you can easily reach your accommodations by taxi or pre-arranged shuttle service. If you're traveling from other parts of Morocco, consider taking a train or bus, as both options provide a scenic way to experience the country. We recommend checking for any visa requirements and ensuring your travel documents are in order before your trip.
