Do I need travel insurance for Morocco?
While travel insurance isn't a legal requirement for travelling to Morocco, it's a good idea to get travel insurance for any trip abroad. Without it, you could end up covering costly medical expenses yourself.
Morocco doesn't have a healthcare agreement with the UK, so if you fall ill or get injured, you'll need to pay for any medical treatment yourself.
A good travel insurance policy provides additional protection, along with cover for lost luggage, flight delays, and unexpected illness.

Is Morocco in Europe for travel insurance?
Geographically, Morocco is in North Africa. Because it's near Spain, some insurers class Morocco as part of 'Europe', which can be confusing when buying insurance.
For Holiday Extras policies, you will need to select the 'Worldwide' region to ensure your trip is fully covered.
We offer two "worldwide" regions for our travel insurance:
- Worldwide exc. USA, Canada, Mexico & Caribbean
- Worldwide inc. USA, Canada, Mexico & Caribbean
Not sure which one you need? Don't worry, it's easy to check: Just use our destination checker to check if you're destination is covered, and what region you'll need to select when buying our insurance.

Does travel insurance for Morocco include activities?
From camel trekking in the Sahara to surfing the waves in Taghazout, Morocco is full of adventure. With so many incredible experiences to choose from, it's important to make sure your travel insurance covers everything you plan to do. Some activities are included as standard, but higher-risk ones may require an add-on or approval from the underwriter.
Water sports
Whether you're paddleboarding along Agadir's coast or diving beneath the Atlantic waves, Morocco is a fantastic destination for water sports. Some activities are covered as standard, but depending on the level of risk, you may need the Extended Risk add-on for extra protection.
Extended Risk add-on
Planning something a little more daring? Some activities, like trekking in the Atlas Mountains or other adventurous experiences, may require our Extended Risk add-on for extra protection. This provides cover for higher-risk activities and can be selected at the 'add-on stage' before payment.
Use our handy activity checker to see whether your chosen activity or sport is covered as standard, or if you'll need to add extra cover.

Where to go in Morocco
Marrakech – To say Marrakech is a sensory overload is an understatement. Wander through lantern-lit alleys and colourful souks filled with spices, street performers, and horse-drawn carriages.
Aït Ben Haddou – This 11th-century ksar might look familiar — it's been a backdrop in Game of Thrones and Gladiator.
Essaouira – For laid-back charm with a coastal twist, head to Essaouira. Its breezy beaches, blue-and-white medina, and fresh seafood capture the best of Morocco's coast.
Fes – Step back in time in Fes, Morocco's oldest city. Get lost in its maze– like medina – the world's largest car-free area – and discover Al-Karaouine University, believed to be the oldest in the world.
From vibrant cities to desert escapes, Morocco has it all – discover more here.
Let us answer your questions
Is Morocco classed as worldwide for travel insurance?
Yes, Morocco is typically classed as a Worldwide destination on most travel insurance policies. This means you'll need a worldwide policy rather than a European one to make sure you're covered. Always double-check your policy documents or use our destination checker to confirm before you travel.
Is Morocco covered by the EHIC or GHIC?
No, the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) don't cover Morocco. That means you won't be entitled to free or reduced-cost healthcare as you would in Europe. Having a valid travel insurance policy that includes medical cover is essential when visiting Morocco.
