Morocco - They Say, We Say...

Other countries say...

"Children born to a Moroccan father may experience difficulty in leaving Morocco without the father's permission. These children are considered under Moroccan law to be Moroccan citizens. Even if the children bear U.S. passports, immigration officials may require proof that the father has approved their departure before the children will be allowed to leave Morocco. Although women, regardless of their nationality, are normally granted custody of their children in divorces, the father must approve the children's departure from Morocco. American women married to Moroccans do not need their spouse's permission to leave Morocco." US State Department

"There is a high threat from terrorism in Morocco. In May 2003, 45 people were killed in a series of terrorist attacks in Casablanca. These attacks were against relatively soft targets, including hotels and restaurants frequented by foreigners or those with Jewish links. Although the Moroccan authorities arrested and imprisoned a number of those considered to be responsible for the attacks, there is a high threat of further attacks." UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office

Morroco says...

"On the Mediterranean, between Tanger and Al Hoceima, the beaches are more intimate with a soft and calm sea. You will enjoy superb climatic conditions on beaches not very often frequented. Some are near small traditional villages of fisherman, nested in heavenly natural corners. Perfect to relax in , far from the agitation of the big cities. " Moroccan National Office of Tourism , translated from French.
