Remarks:
- Hotels in Morocco have an official category that does not coincide with the European category, so we recommend classifying them with one less star than the official category.
- During Ramadan, the country's major religious holiday period, monuments will undergo changes in schedules and closures, which will be communicated as soon as possible.
- During the Feast of the Lamb, we advise against visiting the country due to the large number of visits that cannot be made due to this holiday.
