Be careful and don't travel alone as woman, if ever possible always have a male with you.
Outside western holiday resorts, have your knees and elbows always covered, anything else would be considered as offending.
All prices quoted to you are 4 to 10 times the price you actually should pay - and still then higher than the indigenous would pay. To bargain is essential - but western women are not considered to be an acceptable "business" partner. Let a man do the bargaining.
Sorry about all this, but it's the reality.

I have visited Morocco a number of times, in the late winter and mid-summer. Summer is very hot but there is a winter and it can be cold. Probably the best time is in May. It hasnt gotten really hot yet and tourists from Europe havent begun to arrive yet.
For a really unique experience, dont fly to Morocco. Fly to Gibraltar. There are daily ferries which arent very expensive and its a fun way to arrive.
Good luck and have a safe journey.
By the way, I never used a tour operator so I have no recommendations. If you are flying from the states, you are probably wise to plan your trip through London. Thats were you can catch some excellent connections both to Gibraltar and Morocco.
By the way, DO NOT miss Rabat. Its a beautiful town and far less touristy than Fez, Marakesh, and Tangier.

It depends on what you want to do and where you are going in Morocco. There are the fabulous beaches both on the Atlantic Ocean and the Medditeranean Sea, Hiking, Sites to be seen in just about every town, Shopping (check out the souks in Marrakech)...
It depends on the person on how they are going to enjoy their stay!

Leave home your watch, as Morocco doesn't run on schedules.
Leave home logic, because there is no logic in Morocco.
Bring along patience, humor and an open mind.

Visit as many places as possible. Marrakesh, Azrou, Fez, Meknes, Essaouira, etc. For a girl, do not go alone, preferrably, like in all countries of the world.
