The weather in Morocco is changeable, please bring suitable clothing; pay attention to food hygiene; it is recommended to purchase travel and accident insurance before the trip. 2. Pay attention to the security situation. Keep abreast of security information released by the Chinese Consular Service Network, the Chinese Embassy in Morocco, and Moroccan official media. Understand the security situation of the residential area and pay attention to local demonstrations, strikes, etc. Record emergency phone numbers, and report your safety to family and friends regularly after arriving in Morocco. 3. Safeguard personal belongings. Keep your ID cards and valuables safe. Copy or take photos of the first page of your passport, visa page, and entry stamp page. When going to crowded places, transportation hubs, or sports venues, keep an eye on your belongings, avoid carrying large amounts of cash or valuables, keep your personal belongings within reach, and be vigilant against theft and robbery. 4. Pay attention to traffic safety. Driving speeds in Morocco are generally fast.
