security risks
Demonstrations focused on internal political, economic, and social issues and in opposition to diplomatic and economic normalization with Israel are frequent, but usually peaceful.
Moroccan security forces periodically discover weapons caches or disrupt small cells of Islamic State sympathizers. Lone wolf attacks occur occasionally.
In 2020, low – intensity armed conflict over Western Sahara resumed between Moroccan government forces and the Polisario Front. Limited and occasional hostilities between Algeria, which backs the Polisario Front, and Morocco are possible. Petty crime, primarily theft, is a concern in cities.

guidance
Visitors in Morocco should exercise high levels of caution and situational awareness and take the following precautions:
- Remain vigilant and avoid areas associated with tourists where possible
- In interactions with government authorities, be aware of sensitivities regarding the status of Western Sahara, a disputed territory over which Morocco claims sovereignty
- Avoid displaying valuables, including cash, electronics, and jewelry
- Limit movements, especially after dark
- Use reliable private car services for transportation
- Avoid political demonstrations and other gatherings
- Monitor media and local information sources
- Minimize your profile by not displaying Chevron-related logos on your belongings
- Be prepared for additional security measures and potential travel disruptions
- All staff should ensure that their contact details are up to date before travel to Morocco
Employees should be aware that information security risks can be greater during travel, as third parties present in foreign countries may monitor communications and transmissions.
Employees are advised to avoid communications on sensitive matters and to travel with as little sensitive information as possible.
