"When moving to Morocco, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing that is appropriate for the hot and dry climate. Bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. Bring comfortable shoes for walking and exploring. Pack a few items of traditional clothing to show respect for the culture. Bring a few items of your own culture to remind you of home. Don't forget to pack any necessary medications and toiletries. Bring a few books or magazines to keep you entertained. Finally, make sure to bring a valid passport and any other important documents," said another expat in Morocco.
