Belgium offers a compelling mix of cultural heritage and modern attractions, making it an appealing destination for some Moroccan travelers.

Belgium is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Morocco. According to the Global Peace Index, Belgium ranks 16th out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of safety compared to Morocco, which ranks 76th. While Belgium ranks 39th in safety for walking alone at night among 40 European countries, its murder rate is lower than Morocco's: 1.1 per 100,000 people in Belgium compared to 1.9 in Morocco. Additionally, Belgium has lower rates of female murders (0.2 in Belgium vs. 0.5 in Morocco). In terms of organized crime, Belgium has a better overall score than Morocco in several categories, although both countries face challenges. For instance, Belgium scores 3.0 for mafia groups compared to Morocco's 1.0, and has a lower score for crime networks (4.5 vs. Morocco's 6.5). Overall, while there are some safety concerns, Belgium is considered a safer destination for tourists compared to Morocco.
