I got a cash advance on a credit card in Erfoud -- $5,000US in dirhams -- at a small bank. There was a long, curving line of local men (of course, men) watching the cashier count out the cash. I was a bit apprehensive, but never felt actually unsafe walking around with all that cash. (I did the same thing in Georgetown, Guyana, in a more private setting, and I was very, very nervous. But then, I never felt safe in Guyana.) People may 'rob' tourists by overcharging, cheating and lying , but actual robberies of serious stuff or lots of money are very rare indeed, the police response to an attack on a foreigner is much, much more intensive and the punishments more severe than if they rob a Moroccan. I had a phone stolen by kids, but that's all in 13 years, wifey wanders alone through the town, even in the dark and i am not worried, which I would be if we were in the UK (or the USA, I think). Nowhere's 100% safe, but it's fairly safe here. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmaShell Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Sorry to hear. I know I'd be livid if it were me. I've had items stolen from the back of my jeep once because the locks were busted on the trunk. I know that familiar sting all too well.
