Is Morocco safe to visit ?

It is never appropriate to give an absolute guarantee of safety to visitors to any country.  We have sent many thousands of guests to Morocco and have not had any guest report to us that they were threatened; the vast majority of visitors find Morocco to be a hospitable and friendly country. 

However, it is important that visitors take normal precautions, which they would take in any town or city of another country, for instance protecting their valuables in crowded areas and women should not walk alone through small alleys late at night.  If in doubt, your local staff can advise you about a specific concern. 

Morocco has a wealth of stunning old buildings; however many are not maintained to European standards and some, especially constructed of earth, may lack structural integrity especially after inclement weather. If in doubt about the safety of a particular building, please discuss your concerns with local staff.

Unfortunately terrorism affects many countries across the world - from London and New York to Bali and Peru. Casablanca was hit by suicide bomb attacks in May 2003 and Marrakech hit by a bomb in April 2011.
