What you need, by where you are coming from
- Arriving from the United States or CanadaA plug adapter, and appliances marked 100-240 V. Anything single-voltage needs a converter.
- Arriving from the UK or IrelandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
- Arriving from most of continental EuropePlugs go straight in and the voltage matches. Nothing to pack.
- Arriving from Australia or New ZealandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
Socket types, voltage and frequency are the nominal domestic supply as published in IEC/TR 60083 and the national standards it lists.
Moroccan sockets are Type and at 220 V, the French pattern, and older medina buildings are often unearthed.
Sockets in Morocco are Type and at 220 V, 50 Hz - the French standard, a legacy of the protectorate wiring.
- A Europlug fits everywhere, and a French plug fits the earthed sockets.
- A bare Schuko plug may not enter an earthed socket because of the pin in the middle; the hybrid European plug does.
- British, American and Australian plugs need an adapter.
- Riads in the old medinas are frequently wired with unearthed two-pin sockets, whatever the room looks like.
- 220 V behaves the same as 230 V for anything built for Europe; American 120 V-only appliances need a converter.
