Travel Insider: famtip of the day
I would like to add my 'what to wear' suggestions for travelling to Morocco and Marrakesh, in particular. I packed a headscarf and wore 'below the knees' cropped trousers or a long linen skirt, coupled with ordinary t-shirts with round neckline. I found that I was not hassled at all by anyone there when I wore my headscarf and sunglasses even though I was on my own, have blond hair and blue eyes, and wasn't wearing a wedding ring. I saw women of many nationalities wearing extremely revealing clothing and I was offended on behalf of the locals as I believe in dressing appropriately and respectfully. Another tip is to wear shoes that cover your feet and not flip-flops, thongs, or 'barely there' sandals. The streets are not fantastically clean and the sewerage system is non-existent and so wearing footwear that protects your feet from manure is essential. I found a pair of sandals that were plastic which I could wash in the shower every evening and they were excellent. more +
