Morocco is an appealing destination for some of the 2 million residents of Equatorial Guinea, thanks to its rich cultural heritage, historical cities, and stunning landscapes. Its unique charm and vibrant culture make it an attractive option for travelers seeking diverse experiences.
Morocco is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Equatorial Guinea. According to the Global Peace Index, Morocco ranks 76th out of 160 countries, which is safer than Equatorial Guinea, ranked 92nd. In terms of crime statistics, Morocco has a low murder rate of 1.9 per 100,000 people, with female murders at 0.5. In contrast, specific data for Equatorial Guinea's murder rate is not available. The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that both countries have a score of 1.0 for mafia groups, but Morocco has higher scores in other crime categories, such as crime networks (6.5 for Morocco compared to 2.5 for Equatorial Guinea) and state crime (7.0 for Morocco vs. 9.0 for Equatorial Guinea). Overall, while no destination is without risks, Morocco's crime rates and safety rankings suggest it is a safer option for tourists compared to Equatorial Guinea.
