Your ticket is booked, your visa is approved, and your Morocco jersey is ready. There is only one thing left: preparing your health for this major journey.

A long-haul flight, time zone changes, different food, and unpredictable weather can quickly affect your well-being. Here are 10 essential health tips before leaving Morocco for the 2026 World Cup.

1. Visit your doctor at least 2 weeks before departure

Do not leave this until the last minute. A pre-travel consultation helps review your medications, anticipate possible health needs, and ensure your prescriptions are up to date.

With Docdialy, you can book an appointment online today with your general practitioner or specialist.

2. Check and renew all your prescriptions

If you take regular medication, make sure you have enough for your entire trip, plus at least one extra week.

Keep in mind that Moroccan medications may not always be available in the United States under the same name.

3. Prepare a complete travel medical kit

Your medical kit should include:

Paracetamol and ibuprofen
Antihistamines (for allergies or insect bites)
Anti-diarrheal medication and probiotics
SPF 50+ sunscreen
Bandages, antiseptic, and gauze
Cold and sore throat medication
Nasal spray (especially useful because of air conditioning)

4. Get travel insurance with medical coverage

Medical costs in the United States are among the highest in the world.

A simple doctor’s visit can cost between $150 and $300. Hospitalization can cost thousands of dollars.

Choose travel insurance that includes medical coverage, emergency assistance, and medical evacuation.

5. Activate teleconsultation on Docdialy before departure

Create or verify your Docdialy account before traveling.

In case of a non-urgent medical issue while in the USA, you can consult a Moroccan doctor by video instead of going to expensive emergency care.

Fast, convenient, and affordable.

6. Prepare a medical document in English

In case of emergency, having a summary of your health information in English can be extremely helpful.

This document should include:

Known medical conditions
Current treatments (generic names)
Drug allergies
Blood type

Your doctor on Docdialy can help you prepare it.

7. Stay hydrated before and during the flight

A Casablanca to New York flight takes approximately 8 to 9 hours.

Cabin pressure can quickly dehydrate your body. Make sure to:

Drink water regularly
Avoid alcohol and excessive coffee
Walk every 2 hours during the flight

This also helps reduce the risk of blood clots.

8. Adjust to jet lag quickly

The time difference between Morocco and the US East Coast is around 5 to 6 hours.

To recover faster:

Follow local time immediately after arrival
Get natural daylight exposure in the morning
Avoid long naps
Keep meals light during the first days

9. Check the weather in your destination city

New York, Boston, Miami, and Atlanta all have different climates in June.

Atlanta can reach 35°C with high humidity. New York may experience strong summer storms.

Pack adaptable clothing, sun protection, and comfortable walking shoes.

10. Stay medically connected throughout your trip

Keep your phone charged and your Docdialy app accessible at all times.

If you experience symptoms or feel unwell, consulting quickly is always better than waiting.

Doctors available on Docdialy can guide you, reassure you, and provide medical advice remotely from the comfort of your hotel.

Conclusion

Preparing for the World Cup means being ready on every level, including your health.
