Health
No vaccinations are required to enter Morocco, but most travelers to Morocco should consider vaccinations for Hepatitis A and B and typhoid fever. Medications for travelers' diarrhoea is essential. It is advisable to drink bottled water outside the main cities and towns, and avoid street food. Medical facilities are good in all main towns. Health insurance is essential.
Safety
Following recent suicide bombings in Casablanca in April 2007, fears that there is an increased threat from international terrorism have been raised, and visitors to Morocco are advised to be vigilant in places like hotels and restaurants. Security has been increased in Casablanca and police continue to search for suspected terrorists. Violent crime is not a major problem, but there have been some incidents of theft at knifepoint in major cities and on beaches. Sensible precautions such as avoiding badly lit streets at night should be adhered to. Guides offering their services should display an official badge from the local tourist authorities. Visitors are advised to familiarize themselves with general safety procedures in the event of an earthquake as the country is prone to tremors, although usually minor ones.
