Morocco Travel Advice
There is a high threat from terrorism. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.
Morocco has a poor road safety record. Accidents are frequent, especially on busy major routes. The main road from Agadir to Marrakesh via Imi’n Tanoute and Chichaoua has been reported as particularly hazardous.
Western Sahara is a disputed territory. Developments in the region may trigger public unrest, especially after Friday prayers. Travellers should avoid large gatherings of people and demonstrations, which can turn hostile and be particularly alert in public places.
There are thousands of unexploded mines in the Western Sahara. Travellers should avoid driving off road and take care on main roads especially when driving in more remote areas. Travel is restricted and while organised groups are generally permitted, independent overland travellers should be aware that they could be turned back at the border.
