Morocco and Covid
Looking for some local insight as to current Covid impacts on Marrakech. Am considering this as an option for an early June trip, with Morocco touted as a good candidate for the UK's "green list". Would be staying at the four seasons as usual.
How is the city in terms of crowding, masks, openings, restrictions etc?
Thanks in advance.

thanks
i recommend a rental car organized by fourseasons
since Menara would become more busy a fasttrack and shutle should be handy
We are not so happy with waiting and absolutely not happy about Menara taxidrivers ,but propably you allready know about it !
Our situation is a bit different from yours because we have proof of vaccination and residence card .
Possible is that you need a paper wich gives you permission to travel between citys but things wiil be different before your arrival .
Do you have any experience in driving in maroc ?
covid is now stabilizing round 500

Looks like Morocco has dropped the testing requirement but still mentions a health passport on their website, but also a form. Is there a passport of some kind to register for? American CDC card ok?
Anyone have updates on the COVID situation on the ground -- stats look ok right now. How are restaurants and others handling?
Thanks.
