Bottles expire quickly by design. Open the full map to look further afield, or cast one if you need help.

Getting By in Morocco

  • Morocco sits in an active seismic zone — after an earthquake, expect aftershocks, stay clear of damaged buildings, and follow instructions from Protection Civile crews.
  • Outside the major cities, distances are long and mobile coverage patchy in the Atlas and the south. Tell someone your route before you travel and keep a power bank charged.
  • French is widely understood alongside Arabic; writing your request down in either language helps when you have no shared spoken language.
  • Register with your embassy or consulate in Rabat or Casablanca if your government offers it, and keep their emergency line saved offline.
