What should we pack for a Morocco honeymoon?

In more detail

Morocco moves from coast to mountain to desert, sometimes within three days, so layers do the work. In summer, pack breathable linen and cotton, a wide-brimmed hat and high-factor sun cream. In winter, pack as for a cool European autumn, with a warm layer for the evenings, which fall to about 5 to 10°C in Marrakech.

For the medinas, our guide suggests covering shoulders and knees, for both partners. A linen shirt or soft trousers does it and also looks right on a riad terrace. Choose closed-toe shoes with a good sole, because the lanes are uneven and often damp in the cooler months. Leave heels at home.

Travel light. Riads usually offer quick laundry, a medium case is ample for two weeks, and narrow riad stairs and desert transfers are easier with less. Some things are better bought in Morocco, such as leather babouches or a cotton djellaba for cool evenings.
