Travel Expenses: Morocco

For the first time since I started traveling in 2006, I did not go beyond my estimated budget. Also for the first time (not including Myanmar since, it’s not possible there), I did not use my credit card nor my ATM/debit cards. It is indeed one small step to financial freedom and a giant leap for Nina.

Then again, there were activities and cities that we incorporated into the budget that we weren’t able to do or visit while in Morocco. Still, Morocco, though not as cheap as Southeast Asia, is a relatively cheap destination. Another thing that made a huge impact in keeping the costs down is having a travel buddy to share the tab with.

Excluding the airfare and my personal shopping, our total is a surprisingly low figure, considering that we traveled for 19 days. The trip took us through 7 cities and 5 UNESCO World Heritage sites. We ate in the streets and in the restaurants, we stayed at hostels and riads. It’s a great mix of budget and mid-range options that kept us happy and quite content.

Enough with the words, on with the numbers!

1 After traveling for more than 24 hours, Riad Hiba was a great treat. Our room was HUGE! It was pricier than what we would have wanted, but it was worth the warm hospitality of our hosts and the amazing breakfast. It was a great start to our Moroccan adventure.
2 There was a huge downpour in Chefchaouen the day that we arrived and the room they reserved for us got flooded. They arranged for us to have a room at the hostel next door, Mauritania and transferred us to the following day. Most of the backpackers are staying there so it can be quite noisy at night specially in our room which is right next to the lounge. On the upside, we were right beside the wi-fi router and more importantly, they have a cat!
3 Truly an oasis in the midst of the Fes medina. The inside of the riad is pretty, but the room itself lacks character and had a tiny ensuite toilet and bath.
4 The location of the hotel is perfect: right across the dunes of Erg Chebbi. What made this place special though is its host, Hassan Ougnir.
5 It’s a great budget option located within walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants. We opted to go half board here, and it seems it’s the right decision: their tagines are the best we’ve had in Morocco.
6 Very easy to find and just 8 minutes from the Djemma el Fna square and the souks. And no stairs! (at least for our room)
7 Booked this through AirBnB. It’s a room in a house in Casablanca’s ville nouvelle and it was gorgeous! Kinda regretted not booking more nights here.
8 Train rides include: Casablanca airport to Casa Voyageur (main train station), Casablanca to Meknes, Marrakech to Casablanca and L’Opera to Aeroport.
9 Fees include bus ticket and luggage fee. Buses taken: Meknes to Moulay Idriss, Meknes to Chefchaouen, Chefchaouen to Fes (CTM), Fes to Merzouga (Supratours), Merzouga to Ouarzazate (Supratours) and Ouarzazate to Marrakech (Supratours).
10 Grand taxi from Moulay Idriss to Volubilis and Volubilis to Meknes.
11 We took the petit taxi to get around, mainly when going out of the medina and into the ville nouvelle. Only a handful automatically turn on the meter when we get in.
12 We stayed in a house where we have a fully equipped kitchen to use. We opted to talk a walk down to the neighborhood supermarket and bought things to cook for dinner.
13 McDonald’s Quarter Pounder and fries. We do not regret it.
14 We chose to go hire a car with a guide instead of commuting, and it was well worth it. Our ride was a Toyota Land Cruiser and our driver/guide veered away from the main road and we went off road. We had a great view of the landscape, which not a lot of tourist get close to.
15 Pricey, but the garden is very well kept and very serene.
16 My sister’s request.
17 This is how I fully understood how far away we are from the Asia-Pacific region.
18 Unless otherwise stated, toilets in Morocco charge between MAD 1 – 2 per person, per use.
19 We mistook the tout for the porter that the riad sent.

    I’ve been waiting for this post and din’t expect it to come this soon, not complaining though!:-D

    Seriously, the first thing I did was scroll down the total, and whoa! this is making me so happy! Hindi naman pala ganon kamahal! Rejoice! haha! this is another encouragement to pursue the dream, thank you Nina, you are always an inspiration!

      Haha, ito kasi ang pinakamadali since I use an expense tracker on my iPod and export it to Excel. Onting tweaks and formatting, ayos na ๐Ÿ˜€

      It’s relatively cheap to travel in Morocco, and can be done cheaper pa. Ang mahal lang talaga yung airfare going there ๐Ÿ™

    it appears to me your stay in riad hiba incurred the biggest spending! must be nice to live there. at any rate (pun intended), affordable talaga ang Morocco! WOW, Nina! but the airfare is another story. hihi

  13. AC Avatar

    Morocco is an awesome destination! Is it a place you’ve been itching to go to for the longest time, or spur-of-the-moment trip?

    Wala lang.. it’s not a destination that most people would go to, at least from Asia, pero cool!

    1. nina Avatar

      A friend suggested it, and I took the bait ๐Ÿ˜€

      1. AC Avatar

        I think 36k for ground costs for 18 days in Morocco is not bad at all! I heard from some friends that it’s not that cheap… kasi marami raw tourists from Europe na pumupunta dun.

      2. nina Avatar

        It helped that I was traveling with a friend, so there’s a huge savings on accommodation and transportation vis-a-vis me traveling solo. Morocco isn’t super cheap; just a bit pricier than the Philippines.

  14. […] I published my Morocco travel expenses, friends started messaging me expressing their surprise at the figures I presented and asked for […]

      If you hold a Philippine passport, you can enter Morocco visa free.

    Hi Nina. how are you? Planning to visit Morocco nxt month,Im a solo female tourist ,going to book flight from Etihad my lay over time is just 2.5 hrs then will just crossing terminal 3 to terminal 1 at Abu Dhabi airport (stop over),is it right no need of transit visa? Please correct me..but before anything ..Does Phil Immigration needs the itinerary copy of my whereabout to morocco.?.I will book to the hotel in Casablanca ..and probably get their tour package from the hotel…upon arrival. Any vaccination required before entering morocco?.Whats their dress code in Morocco?.thanks Nina for info..

    1. Nina Avatar

      Hi Charina, so sorry for the late response. We did not get a transit visa for the UAE, since we did not clear immigration in Abu Dhabi. From experience, they did not ask us for our full itinerary, but we did write down the address of our first accommodation in Morocco in our embarkation form. No vaccination required. As for the clothes, best to leave the shorts and sleeveless tops at home.

    Hi Nina! I have been searching information about travelling to Morocco from the Philippines. I will be leaving this December and I already have a hotel reservation for a 9-day stay and of course a round trip ticket. I will also prepare my proof of sufficient funds and itinerary.

    I hope you will see this message in time. I am wondering whether you visited the consulate in Manila to get an immigration certificate or not. I know Morocco is visa-free for us but I was told to visit the consulate to avoid being offloaded. Im really confused.

    I’d be awaiting for your reply.

    1. Nina Avatar

      Hi Jean, nope, we did not visit the Moroccan consulate in Manila. That thought really did not occur to us. We had no problem at immigration both here and in Casablanca.

      Do bring your documents, just in case. If I remember correctly, I have a photocopy of my business registration, but that’s it, as far as documents are concerned.

      Enjoy your trip! Morocco is gorgeous!

    Hi Nina,
    how much is the air fare going (back and forth) from manila to Morocco? Do you know of other flight options? connecting flight? and which is cheaper.I am planning to go to Morocco early next year. Do I need visa?

    1. Nina Avatar

      Hey there! We flew on Etihad Airways, which connects in Abu Dhabi, UAE. As far as I know, there are no direct flights to Morocco. I suppose a cheaper option would be to fly to Dubai on Cebu Pacific, and find a flight from Dubai to Morocco (Casablanca is the main international hub). As listed in the Project Morocco file, my round trip fare was $998.

  30. RG Cruz Avatar

    Your post is very helpful. I called the Consulate just to double check the visa requirements but I was told about the immigration certificate, which was practically a visa application in terms of requirements. I was told though that the immigration endorsement assures you wont be offloaded by immigration . however reading your post gives me confidence. I really have no interest in countries that require visas for us.

    and I love your post on the expenses. youre like the morocco-whisperer.

    I have been planning a trip to Morocco and finally I stumbled upon your blogs – it’s been months since I have been looking for travel blogs to assist me in my trip. I just want to know, since the flights are uber expensive, did you book your flight months before your trip? I’ve been looking for a cheap alternative and your insight would be helpful! Plus, did you also travel inside morocco? Thanks! Sorry if i have so many questions ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Nina Avatar

      Hi Hanz, we bought our tickets around June, I think, and we traveled in October. One alternative is to fly Cebu Pacific to Dubai (wait for their seat sale), and from there, fly to Casablanca. We did travel around Morocco. This post might be helpful: https://justwandering.org/2011/preparation/project-morocco/

  32. Nina Fuentes Avatar

    To the person who commented, asking about immigration advice for traveling to Morocco, transiting in UAE, I’m so sorry, my spam killer ate your comment ๐Ÿ™

    Anyway, it shouldn’t be a problem as long as you are confident (if you have nothing to hide, you wouldn’t be worrying, and it wouldn’t show in your body language). It also helps to show them your return ticket, hotel reservations, company ID or business registration. Once again, sorry about the comment thing, and please post again, if I wasn’t able to answer your question (I wasn’t able to read the entire thing before it disappeared).

      Do I still need to have a transit visa? I’m travelling from NAIA to UAE then.. Casablanca. I hope they won’t coz it will cost me more. I only have a limited budget.

      1. Nina Fuentes Avatar

        Hi Mark, if you are arriving in Abu Dhabi and departing from Abu Dhabi, you will only stay in the transit area, and will not clear immigration, so you don’t need to get a transit visa. However, if you are flying into Dubai and flying out of Abu Dhabi, you will need to pass through immigration. You will need a transit visa then. But do check with UAE’s immigration website to know what you need to transit in their country.

Nalilituhan din po kasi ako sa pgbbooking ko sa dubai to casablanca kasi ibang oras na po un d2 sa philippines dba?hehe. plss help tnx

    1. Nina Fuentes Avatar

      You *might* need a visa, since you will be clearing immigration in Dubai (as you are holding two separate tickets). Inquire with the UAE embassy regarding this, or with a travel agent.

      All the times in your ticket are local time — meaning if your ticket says that your flight in Manila is departing at 8pm, and your flight from Dubai leaves at 10am, you will leave at 8pm Philippine time, and 10am UAE time.

  35. Carjay Jecs Silawan Avatar

    1. Nina Fuentes Avatar

      First off, don’t be nervous if you have nothing to hide. If you are a genuine tourist, you don’t have anything to worry about. Chances are, you’ll have your ticket and hotel reservations when you travel anyway, so if they ask for it, just show it to them.

      2. Nina Fuentes Avatar

        I’m not sure if you can buy Moroccan dirhams, since they don’t allow the currency to be taken out of the country. Best to bring US dollars or Euros and exchange them when you arrive

    1. Nina Fuentes Avatar

      Hi Janna, no need to reserve a hotel if you will be staying with a friend. Just be ready to answer questions if they ask where you’re staying and who you are staying with (not a high chance they will ask, but it’s better to be prepared). Enjoy your trip!

      3. Nina Fuentes Avatar

        Hi Janna, as far as I know, Philippine passport holders do not require a visa to enter Morocco. If they can provide you with an invitation letter, that’s a good document to present if requested, but otherwise, it’s not required.

        It was way back in 2011 when I went to Morocco. I can’t remember what they asked me, but the usual questions in immigrations around the world are: what is the purpose of your travel? Who are you traveling with? Where are you staying?

        No requirement aside from passport with 6 months validity. It’s good to have a copy of your tickets and reservations ready in case they ask for it.

    Hi nina My Boyfriend and I are going to meet in Morocco this November since my Belgian Tourist Visa got denied we opted to just meet there and spend the holiday for 10 days. Question: need kpa bang sabihin na magkikita kmi ng boyfriend ko if tanongin ako ng Immigration Officer kung sino kasama ko? or it would be best to say i will be travelling alone? We are gays and bka my ayaw sa mga ganyan and dahil dun bka di ako matuloy. also this is my first time to travel. Sa Hotel Accomodation namen advisable ba na i palagay ko name ng boyfriend ko? I work in an international company so wala problem yung COE Bank statements and ITR however di ko alam kung ano yung best to say na my kasama ako or wala nlng? thank you in advance

      Hi Ian, it’s best not to lie to immigration agents. If they ask who you are traveling with, just say your friend. Regarding the hotel, they usually just ask the name of whoever is booking. They won’t ask for your COE, bank statements, etc. in Morocco, but they might ask you questions in the immigration in Manila (if you are flying out of the Philippines), so best to have some documents ready.

    Hi nina thanks for the reply. One more thing If I say that My friend is from Europe Belgium is okay to say that? im a bit afraid they might think that Inwont return because of that since its also my first time to travel. will it help as well if I have a visa? im planning to get visa to japan or south korea because its easier and im sure i can get it. Is it me or Im just being paranoid of getting of board im. all our bookings woukd be put to waste .
