Is it dangerous to go to Morocco?

Answer 1

Answer 1

No, don't take the risk. I went there once and i was stopped by a gang of Moroccan officials and they robbed me of everything of value i had on myself at the time. Then on the plane back to London so i could catch my connecting flight back to new york the captain of the aircraft came onto the PA and said to all the passengers and said 'will all passengers get off the aircraft and give it a push start'. This was a domestic airline in Morocco.

Answer 2

As an American who has been to Marrakesh numerous times, I can tell you that it is relatively safe there. Just avoid the Old City after midnight because there are occasionally brawls. The worst danger for Americans in Morocco is that you will be ripped off when bargaining over prices. The item is probably worth one-third of the price they have quoted you.

If you are planning a Moroccan vacation and are seriously worried about safety, I would recommend going to Rabat instead of Marrakesh. Rabat is generally safer than any other place in Morocco.

Answer 3

Marrakech was named the world's best destination by TripAdvisor not by chance but surly with a huge number of visitors vote from all of the world.

Answer 4

Yes, Morocco is a very safe place for any countries tourists. Morocco is a place where sand clutches the sea and snow. The beauty of the place is such that it attracts visitors from around the world. It is not a thing to get worried.

Answer 2

No, it's not dangerous to go to Morocco as long as you observe the normal safety measures (not go out late at night alone to unknown places, etc.), then you'll be fine.

Here's a question for the asker "is it safe to be on your neighborhood around 3am)

Answer 3

Traveling to Morocco is safe.

In spite of all the turmoils that is happening in some of the Northern African countries, Morocco is peaceful, civilized and situation is very stable. There were few demonstrations that took place in major cities but they all went peacefully. All Moroccans value the income that tourism brings and therefore any anger or frustration displayed is not against tourists.

Majority of locals love their king as he has improved the situation in the country significantly during his ruling. There is no one in Morocco that would like the king to step down. They perhaps like for him to have less power, but still be representing the country.

Unfortunately, in May 2011 Morocco was part of a terrorist attack. In Marrakech there was a bomb explosion in a touristy cafe overlooking the famous square of Djema El Fna square. There were several tourists that were hurt. But where in the world we are safe today. Terrorist can harm us anywhere we live or travel to. There is no bigger or lesser danger if you are in Marrakech or Madrid.

It is very safe to travel to Morocco right now, however, as with all tourist destinations, you just need to be wary about pick-pocketing. Other than that it is a perfectly safe place to travel

In terms of concerns, there are really two things not to do if you are a little worried about safety. (1) do not try to cross the Algerian border and (2) do not go to Western Sahara, you should be fine. If you have never been outside of the first world, I would suggest that you use a travel agency, if only because they can coordinate the hotels, drivers, and tour guides to make your trip more hassle free.
