Scams to watch for in Morocco
- Taxi meter refusal and inflated faresDrivers leave the meter off or quote a high fixed fare. Some hotels and transport agencies also quote inflated taxi prices. In Rabat, arriving visitors are directed towards expensive white airport taxis.
- False guides and shop detoursAn unsolicited guide offers sightseeing, accommodation help or a visit to a handicraft warehouse. The walk leads to shops or other businesses where you face sales pressure or requests for payment.
- Closed street or closed attraction claimsSomeone says a road, hotel or attraction is closed, under construction, a prayer area or off limits to tourists. They offer another route to a business with inflated prices. In Marrakech, the detour may lead into a quiet alley for a robbery.
