Common Scams

High Risk

Fake Tour Guides

Unofficial guides approach tourists offering tours, then demand high fees or take you to shops for commissions.

How to Avoid

Use licensed guides from reputable agencies. Politely but firmly decline unsolicited offers.

High Risk
Mohammed V Airport, tourist areas

Taxi Overcharging

Drivers refuse to use meters or claim they're broken, charging inflated fares.

Restaurants add items you didn't order or charge tourist prices much higher than locals pay.

How to Avoid

Check menu prices. Ask for prices if not listed. Review bill carefully.

Low Risk
Tourist areas, outside mosques

Fake Charity Appeals

Scammers approach tourists claiming to need money for family emergencies or medical treatment.
