Qatar is becoming an appealing destination for Moroccan visitors due to its unique combination of modernity and cultural heritage, complemented by stunning desert and urban scenery. While the overall number of tourists is moderate, the high spending per visitor indicates its allure as a premium destination. With around 600,000 Moroccans traveling abroad annually, there is potential interest among some of them in visiting Qatar.
Qatar is considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Morocco. According to the Global Peace Index, Qatar ranks 29th out of 160 countries, indicating a higher level of safety compared to Morocco, which ranks 76th. In terms of crime statistics, Qatar has a significantly lower murder rate of 0.3 per 100,000 people, compared to Morocco's rate of 1.9. Both countries have the same rate for female murders at 0.5. The Global Organized Crime Index also shows that Qatar generally has lower crime network scores than Morocco, particularly in areas such as organized crime and state crime. While there are some areas where Qatar scores higher, overall, it remains a safer environment for tourists. In summary, tourists from Morocco can feel relatively safe visiting Qatar, given the lower crime rates and higher safety rankings.
