SAFETY AND SECURITY ABROAD
Morocco is a Muslim country which applies the laws and customs of Islam. You should adapt your behaviour so as not to offend, particularly during the month of Ramadan or if you intend to visit religious buildings. You should always respect local traditions, customs, laws and religions.
Unfortunately, crimes against people and their property are an everyday occurrence throughout the world, and while in Marrakech it is very important to be vigilant and avoid attracting attention by wearing expensive jewellery, carrying expensive photographic equipment etc. Travellers have the same responsibility for their personal safety and that of their belongings as they do at home. We urge you to take reasonable precautions to protect yourself and your family during your holiday.
To make the most of your trip abroad, please consult the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
