How to Make the Most of Your Morocco Tour – Some Safety Tips to Consider

You are unlikely to face any real physical risk in Morocco, but the minor crime & harassment need you to stay aware – more than other nations. However, by following some basic rules you not just avoid negative situations but also make your holiday tours in Morocco a special one.

Don’t walk around the street alone at night – though walking in well-lit & active areas can be all right, but be cautious walking at night. Small crime is plentiful here in the medinas, especial against the outsiders.

If you are a woman, don’t walk alone – a female alone will allure too much unnecessary attention from male, an amplified possibility of being chased, and the chance of groping. Don’t walk alone at night, especially you’re a female.

Outfit conservatively - you must know that Morocco is a conservative Muslim nation, and it isn’t right to put on short outfit. Keep your legs, shoulders and arms covered (particularly if you’re a female) to ignore any unnecessary attention.

Avoid flashy ornaments – This is a priority especially in a nation where theft is normal and people will see the ornament as an indication f wealth & thus try to trick you in shops or steal from you on the streets.

Don’t carry valuables - since pickpockets and muggings are usual, take the minimum you require when you depart your hotel. Don’t carry your passport with you- leave it in the hotel.

Watch out for scams: if someone asks you into their shop for tea, they are going to use that as a pretext to get you to buy something and, thanks to the engrained psychological idea of reciprocity, you’ll probably give in. Don’t let anyone ask you to write a letter or read a postcard that their “cousin” sent to them in English/French/whatever your native language is. It’s a ruse to get you into their store and wear you down. Same with letting someone put henna on your hand. Once these vendors have you, they will be relentless about you trying on clothes, buying something, or giving them money. Say “no thank-you” and walk away.

Always negotiate taxi prices up front — always negotiate the price for taxis before you get in, as prices are going to be substantially inflated when you arrive at your destination.

To make the most of your Morocco tour package, please consider these safety tips and be on the safe side. Morocco is a beautiful county and you will definitely enjoy your stay here.
