Hey,
I’m getting ready for my first trip to Morocco and am wondering about the relationship laws between unmarried couples in the north African country.I’d like to be able to share a room with my boyfriend. I’d like to make sure we follow any local customs and rules when we stay there. Can you tell us about the unmarried couples policy in Moroccan accommodations/ hotels? I want to ensure we’re respectful to the cultural norms and any such specific policies.”

Thanks for your help in getting us ready for our trip!

Can I share a room with my boyfriend in Morocco?

Absolutely! In Morocco and other Muslim countries, it is usually not well regarded for unmarried couples to stay in the same hotel room. But, there’s a local rule – Moroccan citizens both male and female are not allowed to stay in a room with a foreign citizen if they aren’t married. You don’t have to worry—if you are a European couple, the hotel will not normally ask you for a proof of marriage.

Hi there,

Yes, you can share the room with your boyfriend in Morocco. For European tourists, it is not a problem for unmarried couples to share a room in Morocco. If one of the couples is Moroccan, hotels may require proof of marriage or not allow unmarried couples to share a room to comply with local customs.

Can unmarried couples stay in the same hotel room in Morocco?

Yes, unmarried couples can stay in the same hotel room in Morocco. In some hotels, Moroccan citizens may not be allowed unless are married. But for tourist couples who aren’t married, this isn’t a problem, and hotels don’t usually ask about your marital status. If your friend is Moroccan, it’s best to call the hotel. Or just do what almost everyone else does: Rent an apartment.

Can I share a room with my boyfriend in Morocco?

Hi! Yes, you can share a room with your boyfriend in Morocco. Tourism poses some challenges as to how locals perceive what has become a big part of the tourism industry in recent years, especially in touristic places where people are much more in tune with the differences in cultures—just be respectful and discreet in public.

There is no law preventing unmarried couples from staying together in a hotel room, and most hotels will not ask for a marriage certificate. That said, some — especially traditional or smaller properties — may have their own policies. That may be, but it’s always a good idea to confirm directly with the hotel or riad you are expected to pay on arrival, so take care.
