Frequently asked questions

What should I expect from public restrooms in Morocco?

Morocco: Tricky — Real Adjustment Needed. Squat toilets are common outside hotels and riads, and a water hose or bucket instead of paper is the local norm — carrying your own tissue is genuinely essential, and public restrooms outside tourist areas can be very basic.

What does "Tricky — Real Adjustment Needed" mean?

Morocco requires real adjustment — squat toilets and carrying your own tissue are genuinely common outside hotels and malls.

Should I carry my own tissues?

It's a good habit almost everywhere, and genuinely essential in destinations marked "tricky" here — paper isn't always provided, especially outside hotels, malls, and major tourist sites.

What if I see a small bin next to the toilet?

That's usually a sign the local plumbing can't handle paper — put used toilet paper in the bin instead of flushing it. This is a real, common norm in much of Latin America and parts of southern/eastern Europe, not a hygiene downgrade.
