This is something that many of you wonder about when considering an adventure in Morocco.
YES, it is safe to travel by motorcycle in Morocco, as in any trip we make, common sense has a lot to do.
We have to differentiate the different risks we may face:
- We are very fearful of our personal safety and the security of our belongings.
I will clarify that we are going to speak from our experience, which may be different for everyone, but we go down to Morocco with open groups, which is on the web and private groups that do not appear at least 15 times a year.
The Moroccans, are a friendly people, quite honest and helpful, we have not suffered theft or robbery, on the contrary, if you have left a helmet, the keys of the bike… there has always been someone who has left it for us at the hotel reception.
Regarding the “harassment” to which the tourist was subjected years ago, this has disappeared, the Moroccan government, proposed years ago that tourism was a priority, creating the tourist police, who go in plainclothes and at the moment that someone bothers or harasses a tourist, they take him away.
In any case, the visits we make on our trips are always accompanied by members of the Ruta Cero Tours team, local guides or local friends of our utmost confidence.
- Health. It is obvious that Morocco does not have the Spanish healthcare infrastructure, and that is why In all our trips we subscribe to a health insurance, which on the occasions that we have had to resort to it, have behaved excellently. Or simply a gastroenteritis, you will be able to put the bike on the trailer and recover in the car while you continue your trip, to resume it when you want.
- Infrastructure. Morocco is a country of contracts and this is one of the aspects, we find cities with European style streetcars, high speed trains, impeccable highways and third regional roads, with landslides, floods ….
That is where our experience lies, knowing where to go or not, how to avoid a roadblock, anticipating the pace of the group to what is coming…
Morocco is a country where you can travel alone, but it is true that when a problem arises, it is good to be accompanied that will facilitate the good outcome of the same.
It is true that there is always the picaresque, the bargaining, but we will find this in all the countries we visit, often without leaving Europe.
