Electricity and sockets
An adapter is required: Morocco uses Types C and E, which does not accept plugs from the UK.
Sockets at the destination
Sockets in Morocco: Types C and E, supplied with 230 V at 50 Hz. A converter can stay at home; Morocco supplies 230 V.
Handy for multi-stop trips: the Western Sahara, Niger, Togo and Côte d’Ivoire use the same plug types. Travelling further to the Gambia, Nigeria and Uganda means a different adapter. In Africa, 21 of 55 recorded destinations use exactly this combination.
Protective earth
Not every socket in Morocco is earthed: Type E yes, Type C no. Class I appliances belong in an earthed outlet.
