Common Scams & How to Avoid Them

False Guides

Strangers offer to guide you, then demand excessive payment

Only use official guides with badges or those arranged by your hotel/tour company

Carpet Shop Scam

Led to a carpet shop under pretense of seeing something else

Politely decline offers to visit "special" shops

Henna Artists

Women grab your hand and apply henna, demanding high payment

Keep hands in pockets, firmly say no, walk away

Overpriced Taxis

No meter used, inflated prices quoted

Insist on the meter or agree on price before entering

Wrong Change

Given incorrect change, especially with similar-looking bills

Count change carefully, know your denominations

Closed Attraction

Verify directly, ignore unsolicited advice

General Anti-Scam Tips

  • Be polite but firm when saying no
  • Walk with purpose, even if lost
  • Agree on prices before services
  • Use official guides with credentials
  • Ask your hotel for local advice
  • Keep small bills handy for exact payment

Health & Wellness

Water & Food

  • Drink only bottled or filtered water
  • Avoid ice in drinks outside tourist restaurants
  • Eat freshly cooked, hot food
  • Peel fruits yourself
  • Street food from busy stalls is usually safe

Sun & Heat

  • Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen regularly
  • Wear a hat and sunglasses
  • Stay hydrated - drink 2-3 liters daily
  • Avoid midday sun (11 AM - 3 PM)
  • Carry water at all times

Medical

  • Bring personal medications with prescriptions

Tips for Women Travelers

Traveling as a Woman in Morocco

Morocco welcomes millions of female travelers each year safely

Dress modestly - shoulders and knees covered
Wear a wedding ring (real or fake) to discourage attention
Avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas
Sit with other women on public transport
Use reputable taxi apps or hotel-arranged transport
Learn a few Arabic phrases including "no thank you"
Make eye contact minimally with men who approach
Join group tours for desert and remote areas
Trust your instincts - assertiveness is respected
Connect with other female travelers for advice

Remember: Unwanted attention can happen, but it is rarely threatening. Moroccan culture is hospitable, and most interactions are friendly. A confident, polite demeanor goes a long way.

Road & Transport Safety

If You Are Driving

  • International driving permit recommended
  • Avoid driving at night in rural areas
  • Watch for pedestrians, animals, and mopeds
  • Roads are generally good in main routes
  • Mountain roads can be challenging

Using Taxis & Transport

  • Petit taxis: within cities (metered)
  • Grand taxis: between cities (fixed routes)
  • Insist on the meter or agree price first
  • CTM and Supratours: reliable intercity buses
  • ONCF trains: safe and comfortable
