Is it safe to travel to Morocco?

Morocco sits at level 3 on our 0 to 4 scale. Over the last 12 months we recorded 14 events, 7 of them severe. Floods and wildfires come up most often, 3 records each, 1 severe apiece. Two heatwaves were logged, both severe, plus 1 storm, also severe. One earthquake and one epidemic record appear without reaching the severe mark. One record is tied to armed conflict; the country is not listed as a conflict zone, and no state advisory against travel is on file with us. August carries the bulk of the year with 8 events, ahead of July and December with 2 each. January and June are the thinnest, 1 each. Heat, fire, floods and storms follow a real season here; the quake does not. Homicides run at 1.7 per 100,000 against a world median of 2.1, and that figure says nothing about theft or scams.

What it changes for a nomad

Plan your stay around the heat. August is when most of what we record lands, and both heatwaves we logged reached the severe mark. A room with no cooling is the practical problem in those weeks, more than any single event. Fires and floods each come back 3 times over the year and both have a season: a cut road or a smoky week costs you your schedule before it costs you your safety. January and June read as the lightest months, with 1 event each. One alert is open right now, so check the map before you commit to a move between cities. Day-to-day security is not what our sensors measure; the homicide rate of 1.7 per 100,000 sits under the world median of 2.1, and that is all it says.

1 earlier analysis

  1. August 21, 2026

    Morocco recorded 14 events over the last 12 months, with 6 marked as severe. Natural hazards dominate the risk picture: floods and wildfires each occurred 3 times, heatwaves twice. One earthquake and one epidemic event were also recorded. August concentrates most of this activity. Your interpersonal safety is stronger than average—the homicide rate is 1.7 per 100,000, below the world median of 2.1.

To watch right now

  • One alert is open in the country right now, so look at the map before you commit to a move between cities.
  • The most recent significant record we hold is a flood at level 3; where it landed, roads and local transport can still be patchy.

To watch as a rule

  • Heat in the hottest months: both heatwaves we logged were severe.
  • Wildfires, 3 records over the year, with the smoke and closures they bring.
  • Sudden floods after heavy rain, and the road cuts that follow.
  • August, where 8 of our 14 records land.

Good reflexes

  • Pick a room with a working fan or air conditioning if you land in the hot stretch.
  • Carry a water bottle and refill it at midday rather than waiting until you feel thirsty.
  • Ask about the state of the road before a long bus or taxi leg after heavy rain.
  • Keep a passport scan and a spare card in a different bag from your phone.
  • Save the local emergency number the day you arrive, before you need it.
