What should I pack when moving to Morocco?

We asked people living in Morocco to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"Essentials such as clothing (typically lightweight items made of natural fibers that are comfortable in hot weather), passport and other important documents, toiletries, an emergency kit with first-aid items, sunscreen, insect repellent, prescription medications, toilet paper, flashlights, batteries, appropriate adapters and converters, a small lock, and a bag that can be closed securely. Optional items may include portable electronics, books, maps and guide books, digital camera, binoculars, journal and pens. Cash or traveler's checks, debit and credit cards," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Morocco.

"The things i wish i had brought with me or more of them is Money hard cash, investor list, and some rare product that found in the US only. The thing I shouldn't have brought with us is the electronic that works in the US only, new stuff I bought with more money than Morocco prices, thing that never need in worm morocco," commented one expat who made the move to Mohammedia , Morocco.
