What To Pack
Let’s start covering things from the bottom as they may get packed first,
SHOES
Sandals, flip-flops will be the most comfortable option to roam around the hotel and also could be easily worn outside. Even in winters, the temperature is not freezing cold in towns also it is annoying to wear socks and shoes everywhere. Trainers are also a good option because you have to do some long walks and even could do trekking in them as they’ll make you comfortable. Try to keep it informal as possible. Trainers and joggers can help you explore the towns of medina without having sore ankles.
BOTTOMS
Long trousers are a viable option as they could be used as sleeping pajamas too and also you won’t have much sweat trapped underneath. They could be a great replacement for jeans.
Leggings are a great pick for this country as you’re are not allowed to wear intriguing clothes. They are not too much hot and flexible enough and easily get you through long walks.
In winter it might get a bit chilly so pack a pair or two of jeans as you want your legs to be properly functional the next day.
If you want to have some amazing twirling photos but don’t want to be revealing then go for maxi skirts as they are a pretty good option and the best choice to gain more followers.
If you are visiting the seaside or want to relax in your room then you can wear shorts but it won’t be an appropriate option in the open.
TOPS
Tank tops and t-shirts are also acceptable and a pretty good alternative because at that hot temperature you have to relax a bit. Both these possibilities are not too much intriguing or show too much body.
Long sleeves blouse and maxi are also pretty in nowadays as they are also very decent and pretty comfortable to wear. They are airy and you don’t get exhausted from the hot temperature or long walks. Remember always wear something comfortable because most of the time you have to be on foot and it’s better to dress keeping that thought in mind. For men, it’s better to pack long sleeves shirts, in this heat and sunny weather you might get an unwanted tan.
If you’re traveling in winter it’s better to pack jackets, hoodies, warm boots, socks, and wool caps because you might be visiting the north side to enjoy the scenic beauty and the temperature could be freezing and you might need these things to stay warm. Nights in the Sahara are also chilled so sleeping in tents might get tricky.
If you’re traveling in spring then a normal jacket and jeans could do the work at night. You could make it without them but constant temperature change might not be good for everyone and you don’t want to be sick or staying at the hotel.
Most of the visits are in summer and the temperature is uncomfortably warm so these light shirts and trousers along with sunscreens will do the work.
ACCESSORIES
Well, now you have a description of what clothes you should take with you now let’s focus on the accessories.
Scarf, because it’s a Muslim country, the woman should keep their head covered as it’s a religious obligation, buy a scarf because in mosques and some religious historical places this is a must for women.
Swimsuits, well you have to pack a swimsuit because there are some beautiful raids and exotic beaches. And you don’t want to miss out on that fun.
Normal sports hats are okay but wide-rim hats are a must because the sun is hotter than most countries and you don’t want to have sunburn. Also, pack sun blocks as most people have sensitive skins. Furthermore, keep a good pair of sunglasses and take care of your eyes too.
If you are a shop freak of travel with some gadgets or accessories then carry a small handbag or body bag to keep your things safe. You don’t want to drop something important on the way neither you want your pockets completely full. For safety, comfort, and organization a bag is a suitable choice.
Depending on which country you’re coming from it’s better to pack an international power adapter. You don’t want to drain the battery of your electronic equipment. It might not be necessary but could come in handy in a tough spot.
VERDICT
In the end, I hope that most of your worries are sorted and you can manage to start pack now. As it is said that In Rome, do as the Romans do and try to respect the culture and moral codes of that country, you also don’t like a tourist visiting your motherland and disrespecting its values.
