The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also warns that some travelers were prevented from entering Morocco due to their damaged passports, while others faced problems leaving the Kingdom because their passports were not stamped upon arrival.
“Make sure your passport is not damaged. Some travelers have been denied entry when they were traveling with a damaged passport,” the State Department said in its warning.
Morocco is a popular destination for British tourists. The United Kingdom is considered one of the most important countries exporting tourists to Morocco after France.

He said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs encourages travelers to use common sense and confirms that there are currently no restrictions on travel to Morocco.
