However, the rate of female murders is lower in Morocco (0.5) than in Bulgaria (0.8). Regarding organized crime, Morocco has a better score in terms of mafia presence (4.5 for Bulgaria vs. 1.0 for Morocco), while both countries have similar scores for crime networks (6.5). Overall, while Morocco presents some safety concerns, it is still a popular tourist destination and can be visited safely with usual precautions.
