Power plugs, sockets and travel adapter in Morocco

The local supply in Morocco is 220 V / 50 Hz. Most modern chargers for phones, laptops, cameras are dual voltage and work worldwide as long as the plug fits the socket.

OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks usually support 100–240 V and can be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
CAUTION Laptops, game consoles and monitors often work worldwide, but always check the voltage range (100–240 V) on the power brick before plugging in.
AVOID Single-voltage devices with heating elements (hair dryers, straighteners, kettles) can be problematic if their rated voltage does not match the local supply of 220 V.

Morocco is a sensory journey through ancient medinas, Saharan dunes and Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines. Cities like Marrakech, Fes and Chefchaouen each have a very distinct character.

There, the main plug types C and E are used and the standard supply is 220 V at 50 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.

Tip Traditional riads often have a limited number of outlets per room, sometimes just one or two and not always conveniently placed. A compact multi-USB charger is very practical, and downloading offline maps before entering the medina is a good idea as wifi in riads can be inconsistent.
