What type of plugs and sockets are used in Morocco?

When you are going on a trip to Morocco, be sure to pack the appropriate travel plug adapter that fits the local sockets. But what do those electrical outlets look like? In Morocco, types C and E are the official standards. Since type F plugs are identical to type E plugs, they can also be used with type E sockets. Morocco has standardized on the same plugs and receptacles as France, just like almost all other former French colonies.
