What are the plugs like in Morocco?

In Morocco, the predominant plug types are C and E. If you are coming from Taiwan, then your devices are of type A or B.

For this reason, you will need an adapter, as the plugs in Morocco are not compatible with the devices from Taiwan and you will not be able to use your devices.

Do I need a voltage and frequency converter to travel to Morocco?

It is important to know that in Morocco the electrical voltage is 127-220 V, with a frequency of 50Hz. In Taiwan, the electrical voltage is 110-220 V and the frequency is 60Hz.

Both Taiwan and Morocco use wide ranges of voltages (127-220 V) so you will only need to make sure that the device you are going to use and the socket in Morocco to which you are going to connect it work at the same voltage.

Regardless of whether you need a voltage converter or not, you need a plug adapter, because the plug types are different in Morocco.
