is traveling to Morocco safe?

The Arab countries many people feel that it is too dangerous to travel in some parts of the world.
Morocco, this beautiful and varied country is one of them. The number of travelers visiting Morocco in January was much higher compare to February.
Is it safe to travel or should the trip be post pone?

I feel that it is safe for you to travel and visit this spectacular country. There were demonstrations on the 20th of February, but since then the situation is calm, peaceful and back to normal life.
We have many tourists group traveling in Morocco right now and they are all happy exploring the Imperial cities as well as traveling in the Sahara Desert.
On the other hand we had travelers that have their trip booked and scheduled to depart within the next 2 months. They all are the ones that are very worried about the situation and feel that they should cancel their travel.
For all these, I would like to assure you that travel to Morocco is safe and there are no any reasons why trip should be canceled or post pone.

I would think that things are even calmer a year later. It seems like most of the fighting in the region is settled in Syria...I hope it gets better there soon...but Morocco has remained relatively calm.

my two cents on the whole middle east -arab safety is to realize that the whole region is being destabilize...al the way from Morocco to Syria including Egypt, Bahrain and Libya. No place is really safe anymore and anyone can be a target!

There's a reason for the mass civil and unrest and travelers should be aware of people's oppression in those country's and we support that rather than ask about whether it's safe or not for us to be there. The way I see it is if you're already wondering about safety about a country chances are that it probably isn't safe!

I hear you fireproof! Still, Morocco is luckily still a pretty safe place to go on holiday. A have been a total of 4 times to Morocco and every time I go there i learn some new. I mostly travelled by bus in Morocco as I get to meet other backpackers and locals.

Interesting. I'm considering travelling to Morocco later in the year and safety is my main concern.
