About Morocco Travel Life

How We Research and Verify

Every guide starts with primary sources. Where an official body publishes a number, we use it and we name it. That means ONCF for rail schedules, the Haut-Commissariat au Plan for census and population data, UNESCO for heritage listings, and government travel advisories for entry rules. Sources are linked in the text where the claim sits, not gathered into a bibliography at the bottom. Most carry a retrieval date, so you can judge for yourself how fresh the underlying figure is.

Prices are the hardest thing to keep accurate. Published rates go stale within a season. So we always say where a price came from. Some are an operator’s own published rate. Others are field pricing, which means quotes collected in person rather than lifted from a press page. We label which is which instead of blending them into one tidy average.

Firsthand experience sits underneath the sourcing. Where a guide describes what a square feels like at seven in the morning, or which gate the touts work, that comes from being there. Official sources are good for rules and numbers. They are useless for whether a riad’s rooftop actually gets the afternoon sun.

We do not publish a number we cannot attribute. Where good data simply does not exist, the guide says so. You will find sentences here that admit a gap rather than fill it with a confident guess.

Our Publishing Standards

A few rules govern everything on this site.

• No sponsored placements. Nobody pays to appear in a guide, a ranking or a recommendation.
• No paying to change a page. No operator, riad or advertiser can alter a published price, soften a safety warning, or see a page before it goes live.
• No unsourced hard numbers. Prices, distances, opening hours and legal requirements are attributed, or they are cut.
• Advertising stays separate from editorial. Adverts are served by an ad network. An advert is never an endorsement.
• Guides cover what the reader needs. Not what would earn the most.

Practical guides get rechecked against official sources on a regular cycle. Visa rules, transport timetables and entry requirements change with little warning. When something changes we update the page and its date, rather than leaving an old version quietly in place.

Corrections

We get things wrong sometimes, and we would rather hear about it early.

If you spot something outdated or incorrect, use the contact page and put the page name in the subject line. Those go to the top of the queue ahead of everything else. We fix the page itself rather than appending a note at the bottom. Where a correction changes the substance of a recommendation, the page says what changed.

This matters more than it sounds. A wrong border rule or a stale train time can cost a traveler a full day of their trip.
