Bathrooms


Traditional Moroccan bathrooms consist of a hole in the ground and a wash. This can pose a problem for tourists. As a traveler, you will find that many public places do not have a public bathroom. For those places that do, some may not carry toilet paper. This includes those even places that have the regular toilets.

It is best to be prepared for the worst, especially if you are experiencing a bout of traveler's diarrhea. Always carry a packet of tissue or a small roll of toilet paper in your purse with you.I would also recommend carrying a tiny makeup towel or face towel. The bathrooms without toilet paper are also those without towels to dry your hands after washing them. You should also carry loose Moroccan change because many places want you to pay for the bathroom use.

When you really need to go, look for nicer cafes or restaurants. They are more likely to have a restroom than a small shop. The best public bathrooms in Morocco are in the Mc Donalds. They have everything a bathroom in the US would have. Pictured here is the Fes center ville Mc Donalds.
