Is morocco safe
British magazine Hello published a report listing the benefits of tourism in Morocco, especially for families, and the report in which the magazine answered the question of security in the Kingdom of Morocco for foreign tourists, especially tourists who go as family groups.
In its report, the magazine stated that its answer to the question of security in Morocco comes against the background of the statement of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, in which it urged British tourists to take care in Morocco due to the increase in theft and attacks on foreign tourists.
In its answer to the question of security and safety in Morocco, the magazine relied on the experience of its journalist, who made an exploratory tour to Morocco heading to Casablanca and then the Mazagan Resort, where he indicated his sense of reassurance and protection since his arrival in Casablanca and then the Mazagan Resort.
Hello correspondent added in his report, that the safety of the guests (meaning tourists) occupies a high position in Morocco, and therefore he denied any threats that might affect the tourists who come to Morocco.
And by emphasizing the availability of security in Morocco, the magazine tended to highlight the advantages of tourism in the Kingdom, especially for families, pointing to them the Mazagan Resort as the best tourist destination where parents and their children can spend their summer vacation in safety and benefit from multiple facilities aimed at children and adults.
But despite the security that exists in Morocco, you should be careful and work with these advices from these things:
Currency and cost
There are a lot of things that you have to consider when traveling to Morocco, and perhaps at the forefront with regard to currency and costs, you must know that while many shops accept credit cards, most of the street vendors, small markets and taxis are not. , Make sure that you have local currency with you as much as the costs you can spend, keeping in mind that prices in Morocco are not so cheap.
Bargaining
If you are shopping to buy something from the market, you should learn how to bargain to avoid spending a lot of your money, especially since sellers in the Moroccan market usually overestimate the price for tourists, so by barter or bargaining you will save a lot of money and you will get the products That you want at reasonable prices, try to lower the price from the price offered to you by the seller, and if he refuses to pretend to walk away, so that you can show that you do not want to buy and then succeed in reducing the price.
Watch out for Local Guides
Although the local guide plays a great role in helping you get to know the country, including the mazes of ancient cities, be aware that some local guides are familiar with many different stores, and they will likely attract you there to buy some souvenirs at high prices. With some money paid for it, don't be fooled when they say they try to help you get the best prices, you are able to get better prices without them
Be careful of the water you use
To stay safe, do not drink tap water in Morocco, just drink bottled water, too, avoid using any types of ice outside, especially if you have a sensitive stomach.
Ask before taking pictures
When you walk through the markets in Morocco, do not work to take photographs of people and shops unless you buy something from them, then they may get angry for that and ask for money in exchange for the pictures, and one of the tourists says, when we took pictures of snake charmers we paid the exaggerated money in exchange for that, so To avoid troubles, it is a good idea to first agree on a specific price before taking a photo, asking for permission at first if you are photographing people and locals.
Souvenirs
Leather and carpets are well known in Fes, while perfumes, oils and spices (such as saffron) are popular in Marrakech, although if you buy saffron or something else, make sure that you buy the original product and not the imitation through experience and show knowledge to the seller.
