Morocco is a coastal Arab country in northwest Africa, bordering Algeria in the east and southeast, Western Sahara in the south, Atlantic Ocean in the west and Spain and Portugal across the sea in the north. So what should I pay attention to when going to Morocco? The following are my notes that I took to Morocco. I hope they can help you.
1. Local currency: Morocco Durham = 0. 12 USD = 0.95 (RMB).
2. Local voltage: 220 volts, two European cylindrical plugs. Domestic travelers should equip your electronic equipment with a conversion plug.
3. Local time difference: 8 hours later than Beijing time
4. Local climate: subtropical Mediterranean climate and desert climate. The temperature in April is moderate and suitable. The daily average temperature is about 26 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature is 16- 18 degrees Celsius. It's hotter at noon.
Due to the need of environmental protection, the local hotel does not provide dental appliances (toothbrushes and toothpaste), shaving supplies (razors and shaving cream) and bathing plastic slippers. Please bring your own.
6. dressing index: It is advisable to wear long-sleeved and light clothes, mainly for comfort, and carry a coat with you to prevent the coolness in the morning and evening. In public, women should wear knee-length dresses and coats over the shoulders, and avoid wearing clothes that are too short and too deep.
7. Please don't shoot local military facilities, and don't shoot local women without permission because of Muslim tradition.
8. Wireless communication: China Mobile can be used in Morocco, but international roaming service is required (please refer to the service number of China Mobile Beijing: 10086 for details).
9. Morocco is a country with good social order and simple folk customs in North African countries, and its streets will not encounter the poverty seen in the streets of big cities in other North African countries. The road is wide and tidy, but you should be careful with your belongings when visiting the folk market. And bring the contact card of the hotel where you are staying, and write down the contact information of the Chinese tour guide and your ID card.
Remind everyone that Morocco is still a developing country, and there is still a gap in the level of tourism reception compared with developed countries such as Europe.

Description of medical conditions and medical insurance (including health and epidemic prevention information)
(1) medical conditions
Morocco's medical conditions are relatively backward, the overall medical level is not high, and the development is uneven. At present, Moldova implements the policy of joint development of public health institutions and private health institutions and separate management of medicine. Health institutions in Mo Gong are divided into: rural clinics (without doctors, providing mobile medical services) and rural health centers (with doctors, located in rural centers, responsible for daily medical services and providing maternal and child health care). ), rural maternal and child health centers (with doctors, located in rural centers with 4-8 beds), and urban health centers (responsible for daily medical services, providing maternal and child health care, and providing internal medicine and pediatrics). Private health care institutions in Mozambique are divided into private hospitals, private clinics, private laboratories and private pharmacies. By the end of 20001,Mozambique Statistics Bureau had counted 2,467 public medical institutions at all levels, including 635 rural clinics, 8 rural health centers, 27 rural health and maternity centers, 570 urban health centers, 53 regional hospitals, 87 general hospitals and 33 specialized hospitals. The total population of Morocco is 29 1.7 million, with an average of one hospital 1.686 million, one hospital bed1.40, and a doctor of 2,250. The main hospitals, beds and doctors in Moldova are concentrated in several big cities along the western coast and central China, and there are few doctors and medicines in desert and semi-desert areas in the east, southeast and south.
(2) Medical insurance
Mozambique is committed to implementing universal mutual medical insurance. At present, the number of people participating in universal mutual medical insurance accounts for 17% of the total population, and the main participants are civil servants, clerks, employees of large state-owned and private enterprises, etc. Mozambique plans to raise the above ratio to 35% within five years, requiring all people with fixed jobs to participate in universal mutual medical insurance. For rural and urban people with no or low income, Mozambique has set up a relief fund to provide free medical care by accepting donations from the rich. Morocco has no medical insurance requirements for inbound tourists.
China people often encounter relevant legal advice and suggestions.
In recent years, the number of China people who come to Morocco for business or tourism or travel to Europe or other African countries via Morocco has obviously increased, and most of them can enter and transit smoothly. After entering the country, you can engage in legal activities or conduct business in Morocco as long as you abide by Moroccan laws and regulations. However, our citizens have also encountered some practical problems in Morocco. According to the information of our library, we now put forward the following opinions and suggestions on the relevant legal problems that Chinese citizens often encounter:
1. Moroccan border guards are very careful about Malaysians' passports and visas, and even ask more questions to our diplomatic passport holders. For those China people who have not obtained entry visas, there is almost no way to accommodate them.
2. Because the Mozambican police have found many cases of smuggling citizens from China, the Mozambican border guards are alert to the entry of ordinary citizens into China. The border guards often inspect or even detain China citizens with legal and valid documents on the grounds of suspecting the authenticity of their documents. Therefore, when Chinese citizens come to Moldova, they must apply for passports and visas to go abroad through proper channels.
3. Morocco is separated from the European continent only by the Strait of Gibraltar of 14 nautical mile. In recent years, illegal immigration activities have been very frequent, and many illegal immigrants have drowned. Therefore, Moldova's border guards strictly check foreign citizens who travel to European countries through Moldova. When going through the exit formalities, they strictly check whether they have obtained the visa of the destination country and purchased the air ticket of the destination. Otherwise, the border guards refused to let them go and repatriated them. I hope my citizens will not use Morocco as a springboard to European countries.
4. China is a country with foreign exchange control. Citizens can't take a lot of foreign exchange cash out of the country, and the customs is very strict. In recent years, people's cash when they leave the country has been found and confiscated more than once. China people who come to Morocco for tourism and business must take this issue seriously when they leave Morocco.
