Risk Map & Attractions
Common Scams
Fake Tour Guides
Unofficial guides approach tourists offering tours, then demand high fees or take you to shops for commissions.
Use licensed guides from reputable agencies. Politely but firmly decline unsolicited offers.
Taxi Overcharging
Drivers refuse to use meters or claim they're broken, charging inflated fares.
Insist on meter use (compteur). Know approximate fares. Use ride-sharing apps when available.
Carpet/Souvenir Shop Pressure
Shop owners or guides pressure tourists into buying overpriced carpets, argan oil, or souvenirs.
Don't feel obligated to buy. Compare prices. Be prepared to walk away.
Restaurant Overcharging
Restaurants add items you didn't order or charge tourist prices much higher than locals pay.
Check menu prices. Ask for prices if not listed. Review bill carefully.
Fake Charity Appeals
Scammers approach tourists claiming to need money for family emergencies or medical treatment.
Politely decline. Don't give money to strangers with sob stories.
