Be warned - flaunting the local dress codes may result in anything from innocent sniggering by Moroccans to seriously offending people. Apart from that, you can pretty much wear whatever you like.

If a man goes out in public wearing anything that may be perceived as underwear he will be met with good spirited grins. If he walks around with a bare chest, this will be less appreciated. Not only will it be considered poor taste, it will be considered offensive.

Keep your shirt on at all times, unless of course you are on the beach or at the swimming pool. Don?t ever get completely naked in public - not even in the Hammans. This will cause extreme offence.

It's more complicated for female tourists. Individual reactions to "modern" clothing vary. It also depends on which part of the country you are in. In rural areas they are generally less tolerant of modern or revealing clothing.

Any woman who wears revealing clothing (whether they are Moroccan or not) will attract the attention of men, and will most likely be subject to the constant hisses, whistles and remarks. After a while they can become very tiresome and you might want to ask yourself is it worth the hassle; it might be easier to just try and cover up a bit when you are in the streets.

In rural areas you might experience more than just the standard whistles from the men. You could experience downright hostility from other women! Thankfully, such aggression will be only be found in the
If you want to blend in and don't want any hassle, it's probably best to adhere to the more conservative dress code in Morocco. As an added benefit, loose fitting will clothes will not only shield you from unwanted attention, they'll also protect you from the heat and damaging rays of the sun.

But, don't go over the top. Do not try wearing traditional Moroccan clothing in an attempt to look like a local. A western tourist wearing a Kaftan or a djellabas will be spotted immediately. Apart from that, you'll look a bit silly!
