Safety Level

Exercise increased caution while exploring the labyrinthine medinas of Fez and Meknes, keeping valuables secured against pickpocketing in crowded souks. Be wary of aggressive unlicensed guides ('faux guides') offering unsolicited directions or tours; instead, hire official guides through your hotel or the local tourist office. At night, stick to well-lit main thoroughfares and use registered, metered petit taxis for transport.
