1 mission of Morocco in Uruguay: Consulate of Morocco in Montevideo, Uruguay. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Juan Pedro Damiani, Honorary Consul (as of 2015)
Morocco is a compelling destination for some Uruguayan travelers due to its rich cultural heritage, historical cities, and stunning landscapes. With 2.2 million Uruguayans traveling internationally each year, a portion may find Morocco's unique charm appealing.
Morocco is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Uruguay. According to the Global Peace Index, Morocco ranks 76th out of 160 countries, while Uruguay ranks higher at 51st. In terms of crime statistics, Morocco has a lower murder rate of 1.9 per 100,000 people compared to Uruguay's 8.9. Additionally, the rates of female murders are also lower in Morocco (0.5) than in Uruguay (2.3). However, there are some concerns regarding organized crime. The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that Morocco faces challenges with crime networks (6.5) and state crime (7.0), which are higher than Uruguay's scores (4.5 and 2.0, respectively). Overall, while Morocco is relatively safe, tourists should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard precautions, as they would in any foreign country.
