Essential orientation
Morocco on the map: Rabat, languages and the dirham
A brief guide to locating Morocco in North Africa and identifying its capital, languages and currency before planning your trip.

Photography pending verification
Morocco is in North Africa, and its capital is Rabat. Before choosing an itinerary, it is useful to keep three practical details in mind: the country uses the Moroccan dirham, and the languages listed in the profile consulted are Arabic and Berber.
Location and capital
Morocco is part of the African region and the North African subregion. Its capital is Rabat. These details help locate the country, but they are not enough on their own to plan journeys: check routes and connections using up-to-date transport information.
Languages and currency
The profile consulted lists Arabic and Berber as languages, and the Moroccan dirham (MAD) as the currency. These are useful reference points for preparing to communicate and recognise the local currency; they do not indicate which language is used in each place or which payment methods an establishment will accept.
What to check when preparing for your trip
This guide does not include current information on transport, entry requirements, prices or visiting conditions. Check these details with official sources before travelling, and verify them again close to your departure date, as they may change.
