If you are thinking about visiting Morocco, here are some things you may want to bring with you:
1. A French-English dictionary. If you don't already speak Arabic, and don't have the time to devote to learning it, a bit of French will be quite useful. French is also the language of all things medical, in case you get sick.
2. Hair care products for black hair. Yes, you are in Africa, but you are in Berber country. If you are going no further south than, say Marrakech, you will find most of the Moroccans are of Berber or Arab descent. Plan accordingly.
4. Deoderant for sensitive skin. Anti-perspirants are plentiful. If you can't wear these pore-clogging products, you should bring your preferred brand with you. I haven't seen plain deoderants of any brand here.
3. Thick-soled walking shoes, sneakers or sandals. The sidewalks are often gravel-strewn from all the new construction around (in Marrakech, at least). Ballet flats or thin-soled sandals are uncomfortable when doing a lot of walking.
4. Hand sanitizer. For times soap and water are not readily available.
5. You may, to put it delicately, need a clue.
