Airport security

Mohammed V International Airport maintains an ASTORISK threat rating of 2 (MODERATE) based on current official advisories.

UK FCDO confirms terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks in Morocco with an increased threat linked to extremist groups, while the US State Department maintains a Level 2 advisory due to terrorism concerns.

Morocco invests heavily in tourism security, including dedicated tourism police units in all major destinations. Airport security operates to international standards with comprehensive screening procedures and identity checks at all access points.

Recent security infrastructure improvements have relocated inspection devices and scanners at terminal entrances to eliminate queues while maintaining stringent safety standards through coordination between airport security authorities.

Security is prioritized with identity checks for terminal access, check-in areas, and aircraft boarding, supported by an onsite police station and security guards ensuring international compliance.

Customs, immigration and regulatory

Hours: H24 Customs and immigration operated by Direction Générale de la Sûreté Nationale (DGSN) on a 24-hour basis commensurate with H24 airport operations; extended processing times reported during peak summer and holiday periods

Ground corridor

Ground transport risk in Casablanca is primarily characterised by opportunistic petty crime and fare irregularities rather than organised violent crime, with pickpocketing and overcharging the dominant concerns at high-footfall transit points around the arrivals halls.

The airport corridor to the city centre (approximately 30 km) is generally well-maintained via the A7 motorway, though congestion during peak commute hours and public events can significantly extend journey times.

Independent taxis at the kerbside are available but frequently operate on negotiated rather than metered fares, creating transparency risk, particularly for late-night arrivals; pre-arranged vehicles with professional drivers and agreed fixed pricing are strongly advised for all corporate and high-value movements.

No armed conflict, OFAC sanctions, or active movement restrictions apply to Morocco or Casablanca at this time.
