Common tourist traps and how to avoid them

Scams and risky spots named in official travel advice for Morocco, plus a few reported in public visitor reviews (labelled), in our own words.

  1. Swapped goods and card fraud

    How it works: Credit card fraud and scams are common, including sellers swapping what you bought for inferior goods.

    How to avoid it: Watch your card when you pay and check your purchase before leaving the shop.

  2. Bag-snatching and motorbike theft

    How it works: Pickpockets, bag-snatchers and thieves on motorbikes target visible jewellery and handbags in cities and on beaches.

    How to avoid it: Keep valuables out of sight, and be careful when asking for directions or using ATMs.

  3. Unlicensed ride-hailing taxis

    How it works: Many taxis booked through apps may be unlicensed and uninsured, and police may order you out of one.

    How to avoid it: Use licensed petit or grand taxis and agree the fare or check the meter.

  4. 'That way is closed' fake guides in the medina

    How it works: Someone tells you the street ahead is closed, then leads you through alleys to a tannery or shop and demands payment or pushes you to buy.

    How to avoid it: Keep walking and politely decline unsolicited directions. Use an offline map, or ask staff in a shop.

Verified rules for Morocco: 76 of 198 passports; awaiting verification: 122; not yet covered: 0. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet.

⚠ Unofficial sources: 123 rules for Morocco are not from an official Morocco government source (based on other governments' travel advice or secondary research). They are labelled on each page, are not counted as verified above, and should be confirmed with the embassy before travel.
