I am a 20 year old American girl studying abroad in Rabat in the fall. I have blonde hair and my parents want me to dye it black or brown in order to blend in more with Moroccans. Is this a good idea or just foolish?
Also, I have heard a lot about how it is best to dress conservatively, wearing long skirts and shirts that cover cleavage and shoulders, but what do people wear to the beach? What is acceptable at beaches in Morocco? Is wearing a bikini or even a one piece unacceptable?
If I want to get toiletries once I get there, will items such as contact solution, shampoo/conditioner, feminine products, etc. be available to buy for reasonable prices?
I am quite concerned. A former student of mine, who is 18, met a Marroccan man at Disney in October. She is shy, has never had a boyfriend and has a big heart. She has seen him several week ends and they are already engaged. He wants to get married next month (we are in January). I also found out his visa expires in June. I need some input as it scares me to death!
25 years ago, I worked at Epcot in guest relations. I noticed a pattern... Before going back home, they all try to get married to stay, or so it seemed.
I know there is a tax for receiving packages in the mail, does anyone know how much that might be? How long does it take for packages to get to Morocco from the U.S.?
I assume you are in USA in which case I have no idea what your immigration laws are but in UK he would not be allowed in now unless his intended spouse could support him.
It has happened in the past whereby the male will loaf around the house each and every day whilst she goes out to work; he then invited his friends round drinking the best whiskey she could afford to buy them.
Far too many girls of a younger age go to Morocco (partic resorts like Agadir) and fall for the pool or "animation team" guy and immediately call him their "boyfriend" going back as often as possible. When these girls have gone back home, how many others has he I wonder?
It is a disgrace that such spongers were ever allowed into the UK with no skills and the best job they could aspire to would be stacking shelves in a supermarket.
Responses to these questions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

planning on going to Morocco
My 23 year-old daughter is planning on going to Morocco in June with her male, Parisian friend, who is a Moroccan citizen.
Is it safe for young, American women to travel there? how will she be received if she is traveling with a local? She looks very American!
The only obstacle I can see if the friend has a Moroccan passport, if so he will not be permitted to share the same room with your daughter (assuming they are bf and gf).
If on the other hand they both have european passports there will be no problem and they can go about their routine without hindrance.
There will be the inevitable glance, particularly by the older generation wherever they go.
Americans are just as welcomed as any other visitor to Morocco.
During holiday periods, tourist destinations (in partic. Agadir) in Morocco are full of silly British girls getting all hormonal at the sight of randy Moroccan boys, soon to be their "boyfriend".

Morocco is very nice place to visit
Hi! Morocco is very nice place to visit for the tourist especially for women . Women do not need to worry while traveling in Morocco . Morocco is very safe place to visit for women. people of the morocco are very friendly and you do not need to worry about them at all .
My husband and I are looking at going to Marrakech & Agadir with our 3 children (3yrs-12yrs) for our summer holiday this year, however after reading some of the reviews, I'm not completely convinced it is the right place to take children as there doesn't seem to be a lot to do (I don't think taking a 3yr old sightseeing would be much of a holiday for any of us!!) and as we are restricted to term time holidays, it's going to be end of August when we go. Any comments would be appreciated.
Whilst a riad in Marrakech would be the better choice for adults, the children would be better accommodated in a tourist hotel but you will have to research which will have play schemes.
Would somewhere like Costa del Sol have good services for 3 yr olds? Personally I don't think anywhere will be "better" for minors unless you opt for a trip to Disney Land.
May is still good as far as weather goes and not as hot as July/Aug which would be unbearable for small children.
Near Marrakech is a place called Oualidia which is a theme park frequented by tourists and Moroccans and some hotels have a free shuttle service.
Maybe spend less time in Marrakech, which is a destination more for the cultural experience, and more in Agadir which is a package-tourists heaven with great beach where all can relax and kids can play footie, a small zoo (which I advise peole NOT to visit as it has less than adequate facilities for the wildlife), many inexpensive restaurants, hotels with good child facilities, a very large covered souk (market) and more.
