Locally known as sfenj, Moroccan donuts are fried in oil that may or may not be fresh. That's why it's better to avoid fried foods such as sfenj, and even churros. Donuts shops can be located on almost any street, and you'll quickly spot them from the smell of oil and people coming and going with donuts in hand.
You also don't have to be covered head to toe as a visitor to Morocco. The basic “rules” are to cover your shoulders, knees, and chest. Most days I had my elbows covered, too, and made sure that my tops were long enough to cover my bum. Showing elbows is fine!
In terms of covering up, it is not required, but it is considered more respectful to dress modestly. Women should avoid wearing revealing clothing and keep their chest and stomach area covered. It's important to note that the less clothing you wear, the more attention you may attract, especially as a woman.
So before you start throwing in your strappy tops, short shorts, miniskirts, tank tops, crop tops, or anything else that might show off your legs, shoulders, and cleavage.., stop! There are no official dress codes or laws in Marrakech but as a Muslim country, it is very disrespectful to be showing off too much skin.
Do You Need to Cover Your Hair? This is a common question when women travel to Middle Eastern or Islamic countries. The easy answer is no; you do not need to cover your hair. That being said, there are some religious sites that may ask you to do so.
Hygiene. In Morocco it is very common to find squat toilets, which are flushed with a bucket of water. Moroccan toilets almost always do not contain toilet paper and it is a necessity to carry toilet paper and/or hygiene wipes if you will be away from the hotel for an extended period of time.
In more conservative areas, such as rural villages or religious sites, it's important to cover up even more. Women should consider wearing a headscarf and covering their arms and legs. Men should avoid wearing shorts and tank tops. It's also important to consider the weather when choosing what to wear in Morocco.
Make sure your pre-travel diet includes plenty of fiber, which makes stools softer and more comfortable to pass. Foods high in fiber include many fruits, like apples (with the skin), raspberries, and pears; beans; and whole-grain foods such as bran cereal.
