Travellers with Disabilities
Morocco has few facilities for the disabled, but the country is not necessarily out of bounds for travellers
with a physical disability and a sense of adventure. Some factors to be aware of:
»
The awkward nature of narrow medina streets and rutted pavements can make mobility challenging at
times even for the able-bodied.
»
Not all hotels (almost none of the cheaper ones) have lifts, so booking ground-floor hotel rooms ahead of
time is essential.
»
Only a handful of the very top-end hotels have rooms designed for the disabled.
»
Travelling by car is probably the best transport, though you'll be able to get assistance in bus and train sta-
tions (a tip will be required).
»
Many tour operators can tailor trips to suit your requirements.
»
Vision- or hearing-impaired travellers are poorly catered for. Hearing loops, Braille signs and talking ped-
estrian crossings are nonexistent.
