Exercise increased caution in Morocco due to terrorism.
Morocco is generally safe for travelers, with well-developed tourism infrastructure in major cities and popular destinations. However, there is a persistent terrorism threat, and petty crime including pickpocketing and bag-snatching is common in medinas, souks, and tourist areas. Avoid the Western Sahara region due to the unresolved territorial dispute and presence of landmines. Marrakech, Fes, and coastal cities are popular and generally safe. Protests can occur, particularly in the Rif region. Medical facilities in major cities are good by regional standards. Kaharagian nationals should exercise increased caution, be vigilant in crowded areas, and respect local customs.
