Health Regulations:
No vaccination certificate is required for visitors coming from Europe or America.

An anticholera vaccination certificate may be required of visitors coming from areas where this disease is prevalent. It is always helpful when crossing borders to have an updated International Health Card. If you are traveling to sub-Saharan Africa, you need to be vaccinated for yellow fever. It is recommended, even with the low risk, that travelers be vaccinated for tetanus, typhoid and cholera.

Anti-malarial treatment is not necessary.

Health

Morocco is a healthy country. However, a certain number of minimal precautions should be taken, particularly in the south.

Avoid water from wadis and itinerant water sellers. Refresh yourself with the excellent bottled spring water: Sidi Harazem, Imouzzer and Sidi Ali are still waters, while Oulmes is sparkling. If you are prone to intestinal problems, take an appropriate medicine with you. Make inquiries before swimming in a wadi or a lake.

Take precautions against insect bites and sunburn. If necessary, tourist offices and major hotels can put you in touch with doctors who speak English, French or other languages.

In case of emergency, contact:

In Casablanca: telephone "19"; All night pharmacist: 26 94 91.

In Marrakesh: telephone "19"; All night pharmacist: 43 04 15.

In Fez: telephone "19"; All night pharmacist: 62 33 80.
