Safety Tips for Agadir (US/UK/Canadian/Australian Travelers)
General advice
- Emergency number 112 works from any mobile – even without credit or SIM, provided there is network coverage.
- 911 does NOT work in Morocco – always use 112, 19 (police) or 15 (ambulance).
- Agadir is generally safe but be cautious at night on isolated beaches (e.g., south of the marina).
- Pickpockets can be active in crowded areas like Souk El Had, the marina, and bus stations.
- Keep digital and physical copies of your passport and visa separately.
- Travel insurance with medical evacuation is strongly recommended – verify coverage for Morocco.
- Register with your embassy (see links above).
- Scams: Beware of unofficial guides offering “free” tours, or taxi drivers refusing the meter.
