I would say it depends on where you are going. If it is someplace like Agadir or Marrakech, I don't think anything can prepare you. Cities along the coast stay pretty moderate.

Although I don't know Morocco, I do know Tallahassee summers which are some of the worst in the nation. My little piece of advice is the Southern Woman's Secret a.k.a. Shower to Shower powder. It really helps to keep you cool and dry because of the baking soda. Women here swear by it.

Also, no black if you can help it...why give the sun more of an opportunity to sap all your energy.

Have a super trip!

Ah, Morocco in the heat of summer! Where will you be? Like Twila said, what you can expect from the weather really depends on where you are. I love going to the coast or the mountains in the summer, but inland can be beastly!

Try to find some air conditioning or at least a fan. My inlaws have a typical Moroccan house in Marrakech with thick walls and no windows--I found it to be stifling and almost unbearable. You can buy an inexpensive fan at bigger grocery stores--just a heads-up, though: my sweet mother-in-law seems to think that fans will make you sick, so be prepared to have it turned off on you in the middle of the night!

The last time we went we stayed at a lovely hotel with AC and a swimming pool when we were in Marrakech! It made things MUCH more comfortable.

Otherwise, try to get to the ocean or up into the mountains.

Have fun--I'm a little envious! :dance::dance:

Thankyou God my husband and his family have no problems with fans and air conditioning. I have met arabs who are afraid of fans making them sick though. I know my husband and his family freak out if you don't wear warm clothing out of the shower because you might get sick because your hair is wet. I told him if that was the case i would be sick all the time, lol.

Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful trip!

Have a nice time !

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
