Adapter required

Yes — coming from Saint Kitts and Nevis, you will need a travel adapter for Morocco. Saint Kitts and Nevis uses Type A/Type B/Type G plugs, and Morocco uses Type C/Type E, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. The mains frequency is also different (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
