Morocco travel advice: increased terror risk
The Foreign Office has changed its advice for travellers to Morocco on the basis that there is an increased risk of terror in the North African country – but will not be specific about the threat itself.
Morocco has long been regarded as one of the safest countries in Africa – and certainly one of the safest Muslim countries for westerners to visit – and there have been no terrorist attacks in Morocco in the recent past.
However, the Foreign Office website, at www.fco.gov.uk/travel, states: “We judge that the threat from international terrorism in Morocco, including to British nationals and British interests, has increased. You should therefore maintain a high level of vigilance in public places such as hotels, restaurants and shopping malls and exercise good security practice.”
It continues: “Travellers to Morocco should be aware of the impact that recent developments in Iraq, as well as the violence between the Israelis and Palestinians, has had across the Arab world and the risk of public disturbance in response. You should follow news reports and be alert to developments in the Middle East which might trigger public disturbances.”
