Is it Safe to Travel in Morocco?

Tourism is the Primary Industry in Morocco. 

When tourism rates drop, the whole country suffers. To this end, Moroccans appreciate and welcome tourists who come and spend money in their country.... whether you're a backpacker or traveling on a five-star golf retreat. In Morocco, you will find a country of gracious, hospitable people.

Tourists are absolutely vital to the Moroccan economy. 

In the past decade, Islamic extremists have tried to create a foothold in Morocco, but they have only found loose sand, as most Moroccans are in fact very moderate and do not mix politics and religion. Morocco is a highly international country, being a part of Africa and a close cousin to Europe. Most Moroccan families have relations living abroad, and therefore have a perspective that transcends borders. They are a peace-loving people who want to share their rich heritage and landscape with all who come to visit. 

Morocco is becoming a popular destination for retirees, as the cost of living is very low and the quality of life is very high. All cities in Morocco have conveniences of the Western World, and it's possible to live quite simply and elegantly. Marrakesh is becoming known as the winter playground of Jetsetters as it's dotted with gorgeous golf courses, fantastic restaurants and world-class nightclubs.

It's not a well-known fact, but Morocco was the very first country to recognize the United States and offer friendship, back in the 1700's. The relationship between the US and Morocco is highly stable. The current King of Morocco has been influenced by the time he spent living in the US. He has instituted many progressive policies to create a more democratic Moroccan society, and has relationships with all living presidents.
