Hi Shirley

This link will tell you your duty free allowance http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/customs/arriving/arrivingnoneu.htm#2

Basically you are allowed 1litre each of tax free spirits.

Cheers,
Thanks for the info Graham. While I'm on the subject of Booze in Morocco. Does anyone know if they have a national drink e.g. Ouzo in Greece, Raki in Turkey etc. If not, what do the locals usually drink?

Hi Shirley

The national drink is Whiskey Berbere

or that is their little joke, being a Muslim country it is another name for the national drink of mint tea or Thé àla Menthe

When Marlou & I went to Tunisia a few years ago we tended to go to the same quiet piano bar in the evening. We had the same barman for most of the wek, who told us a lot about muslim customs. A true muslim is not even allowed to pick up a bottle of alcohol, let alone serve or drink it. When we went for a walk outside the hotel & called in a bar - perhaps cafe bar would be a more appropriate word, we were only ever offered orange juice, coffe or tea. We used to have to ask for a lager. The men would be drinking coffee or ta and smoking their sheesh pipes.

Well, I hope it's not a case of 'when in Rome...' I'm sure I've read that alcohol is widely available in the resort.

When we went to Tangiers we drank Kirsch Royal in the hotel.It was very nice and I dont know if it was a local drink.

Off to Marrakesh on Saturday for a few days.

Being a Muslim country, are these pubs as such, or do you neeed to drink in the hotel

HI Gemma,
when we were in Agadir there were a few pubs/bars but the booze was expensive there. I'm assuming it's the same throughout Morocco, so you'll be better off limiting any 'sessions' to your hotel

There aren't "pubs" as such, and some of the bars in the medina are not perhaps what we're used to (all men really, and some a bit seedy). Head to the Ville Nouvelle/Gueliz for the evening for more choice, some of the bars are within restaurants. An exception for a drink in the medinais Kosybar's roof terrace

A few other suggestions here (Cafe Arabe also has a great roof terrace, but not cheap)

Not been, but maybe one to check out?

With a little googling, there's more, but I haven't been personally. In the main, I had drinks on the roof terrace where I stayed, found restaurants with alcohol served and called for a couple at a medina hotel (can't remember the name now!)
