Morocco is a welcoming and generally safe destination, but it is wise to know who to call if something goes wrong. A few minutes of preparation can make any problem much easier to solve.
This guide lists the main emergency numbers and explains how to prepare before and during your trip.
Police can be reached on 19 in towns and cities. The Royal Gendarmerie, which covers rural areas and roads, is on 177. Civil protection, which handles ambulance and fire services, is on 15. Numbers can change, so it is best to confirm them locally.
In a riad or hotel, your host will usually be the fastest source of help and can call the right service. Tourist police are present in major cities. Keep the address of your accommodation on your phone and on paper.
Pharmacies are easy to find and a duty pharmacy is always open in each town. For serious problems, private clinics in main cities are often the best choice.
Read our health, water and food guide and prepare travel insurance.
Keep copies of your passport and insurance details and know where your embassy or consulate is. A local SIM or eSIM helps you stay reachable; see our SIM and internet guide.
With a private driver and guide, a local contact is always nearby and can coordinate help quickly. See our etiquette guide and itinerary guide for peace of mind.
