Although Morocco is a Muslim country, there is generally a liberal attitude toward foreign use of alcohol. In fact, Morocco produces good wine and even a few popular local brands of beer such as Flag and Casa.
We have compiled the following tips for those wishing to have access to alcohol:
- Alcohol is not served or available for purchase inside the medinas, or nearby mosques.
- You’ll find that some cafes and restaurants in the new parts of large cities will serve alcohol. Likewise, there are often bars in large hotels.
- Most riads and smaller hotels aren’t licensed to sell alcohol. But many of them allow guests to bring alcohol in to be consumed. We can always check with your specific accommodations to determine their policy.
- Most large grocery stores sell alcohol in areas that are sectioned off.
- Alcohol shouldn’t be consumed in public areas and intoxication is highly disapproved. It is illegal to carry open containers in public.
