Morocco, a North African country bordering the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, is distinguished by its Berber, Arabian and European cultural influences. The cultural diversity of Morocco is reflected in the varied architectural beauties that can be found across the nation. From majestic mosques to traditional riads, brilliant palaces and sublime centres of religious study.

Contrary to what happens in most countries, people in Morocco prefer Cats as their pets over dogs. Cats, inhabitants in large numbers in all regions of the country and for which Moroccans have a special appreciation. According to Muslim culture, dogs are impure and cats are sacred. While relocating with pets, it is important to keep the following things in mind-

• The first step is to microchip your pet with a 15 digit ISO compliant pet microchip
• All pets must be vaccinated for Rabies 21 days and 6 months prior to entering the country.
• A rabies titer test is required for pets entering Morocco for a period of less than 12 months. It must be administered between 3 and 12 months prior to import.
• A licensed veterinarian in the originating country must complete the health certificate for your pet. The Governing Authority responsible for the import and export of animals should endorse the forms. Entry to Morocco must be within 3 days of government endorsement.
• Your pet must also be inspected by a licensed veterinarian within 24 hours of import to Morocco.
• An import permit is not required when entering Morocco with a personal pet.
• Pets must enter Morocco via Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport.
• Pets can enter in the cabin, as checked baggage or air cargo.
• All pets must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans when examined at the entry airport.
• Morocco bans pit bull breeds as well as other dangerous dog breeds.
