Accommodation
Is Airbnb legal in Morocco?
Airbnb operates legally in Morocco and is widely used, though hosts are meant to register their properties and guests, so you may be asked for passport details on arrival as part of the standard tourist registration. Booking a place on Airbnb is normal and generally trouble-free for travellers.
Registered riads, guesthouses and apartments all appear on the platform, and reputable hosts handle the required guest registration with the local authorities. As with anywhere, read reviews carefully and confirm the exact medina location and check-in arrangements.
The main practical point is the same as for riads: getting the passport-registration and meeting-point logistics sorted, especially in a medina. Choose established listings with strong reviews and clear arrival instructions.
