Tangier's medina and religious sites reward clothing that is light, loose, and easy to adjust.

A cooking class or homestay in Chefchaouen puts you inside a Moroccan home rather than on a sightseeing route. This guide covers modest layers, sleeves you can push up, shoes that come off easily, and how to pack light for a three-night stay.

Dress-code packing for Colombo's religious sites comes down to a handful of decisions: cover shoulders and knees, wear footwear you can slip off in seconds, carry a quick-dry scarf or sarong that doubles as sun protection, and build your day bag around heat, humidity, and sudden monsoon rain. This guide names the sites, sorts out shoe-removal logistics, and gives a compact three-day packing example.
