R\u00e9ponse courte\u00a0: oui, Marrakech est s\u00fbre pour les touristes en 2026 \u2014 sensiblement plus s\u00fbre que ne le supposent beaucoup de voyageurs internationaux, avec un petit nombre de risques sp\u00e9cifiques faciles \u00e0 \u00e9viter une fois qu\u2019on les conna\u00eet.<\/strong> R\u00e9ponse longue\u00a0: une ville d\u2019un million d\u2019habitants n\u2019est jamais uniform\u00e9ment s\u00fbre ni uniform\u00e9ment dangereuse, et ce que \u00ab\u202fs\u00fbr\u202f\u00bb signifie pour une voyageuse seule dans la m\u00e9dina \u00e0 minuit n\u2019est pas la m\u00eame chose que pour une famille \u00e0 Hivernage \u00e0 midi.

Le verdict 2026 en un paragraphe<\/h2>\n

Both the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO travel advice for Morocco<\/a>) and the US Department of State (U.S. Department of State Morocco information page<\/a>) place Morocco at the lower end of their travel-advisory tiers. Both note that most visitors have a trouble-free trip. Violent crime against tourists is uncommon. The most common issues are petty \u2014 pickpocketing in crowded areas, scams from unsolicited guides, aggressive vendors, occasional verbal hassle for women. The Moroccan government has invested heavily in tourism security since the early 2010s, including a visible police presence in tourist zones and a dedicated tourist police unit (Brigade Touristique<\/em>) in Marrakech that wears distinctive uniforms and speaks English and French. None of this means Marrakech is risk-free; it means the risks are predictable and manageable. Always check your own government’s most recent travel advisory before booking, as guidance is updated periodically.<\/p>\n

Ce qui a chang\u00e9 ces deux derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es<\/h2>\n

Trois sujets sur lesquels les voyageurs s\u2019interrogent en 2026 et qui ne se posaient pas il y a cinq ans\u00a0:<\/p>\n

Le s\u00e9isme d\u2019Al Haouz de septembre 2023<\/h3>\n

On 8 September 2023, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck the Al Haouz province about 70 kilometers southwest of Marrakech, causing significant damage and loss of life in High Atlas mountain villages. Inside the city of Marrakech itself, damage was relatively limited \u2014 most of the medina and modern Gueliz are structurally intact, and tourism returned to near-normal levels within months. Three sections of the old city walls and a small number of older buildings sustained damage and have been progressively restored. In 2026, no part of central Marrakech is closed to visitors for earthquake-related reasons. Trips into the High Atlas (Imlil, Toubkal trekking, Ourika Valley day trips) operate normally; some specific villages have been rebuilt and others are still in progress. If you are going on a multi-day Atlas trek in 2026, ask your tour operator which villages are on the route and what their current status is \u2014 reputable operators will know in detail.<\/p>\n

Une croissance touristique record<\/h3>\n

Morocco passed 17 million international visitors in 2024 and continued to grow into 2025 and 2026, with Marrakech receiving the largest share. Two practical effects on safety: the city is busier than ever (good for ambient safety in tourist zones, slightly worse for pickpocket density in Jemaa el-Fnaa), and police presence in tourist areas has been visibly increased. The medina at peak hours can feel like a high-tourist European city \u2014 busy, lively, mostly safe, occasionally annoying.<\/p>\n

Paiements par carte et VTC<\/h3>\n

Five years ago Marrakech was almost entirely cash. In 2026, card payment is accepted at most upscale restaurants, all major hotels, and many modern shops in Gueliz. Ride-hailing apps (Careem, inDrive, and InDriver among the most active) operate across the city \u2014 useful safety tool late at night, removes the taxi-negotiation friction. The medina still runs on cash. ATMs are widely available and reliable.<\/p>\n

Ce que \u00ab\u202fs\u00fbr\u202f\u00bb signifie r\u00e9ellement \u00e0 Marrakech<\/h2>\n

La s\u00e9curit\u00e9 en voyage a trois niveaux, qu\u2019il faut s\u00e9parer quand on demande \u00ab\u202fMarrakech est-elle s\u00fbre\u202f\u00bb\u00a0:<\/p>\n
