​Totally agree!

Lol ​true. I'm going to have a look anyway as i was in agadir last summer and loved just floating in the warm sea.

damn, its a telephone booking only.

lol

Agadir is fine and very liberal in terms of Islam.... its also full of holiday resorts, nice enough place and some really nice newer hotels.

​Not a silly comment at all.... I have been a regular visitor with my wife and two children to agadir/taghazout over the last few years and after out last visit two years ago we decided that it would be our last, things have definitely changed for the worse out there, to a point that I just didn't feel comfortable taking my family anymore.Cant quite explain it but there was just a different atmosphere.. A sense that things/feelings were now different towards westerners.At first I put it down to maybe a bit of paranoia on my part due to the current instability regarding Muslim countries etc but my wife said she felt the same. Such a shame as we had some amazing holidays there and mixed with some great locals :-( but when it ultimately came down to it the safety of my family is far more important! Would I go on my own/with mates surfing again?.... Probably!

Had a lovely holiday in Agadir last Summer and planning on going back this year with family. To put this in some perspective , the risk of a terrorist attack in the UK is currently under the severe risk banner. We found the people in Morocco far more accepting of Westerners than other North African Muslim countries , and we felt perfectly at ease the whole time we were there. We spent a lot of time away from the hotel visiting areas of interest. Unfortunately a large amount of countries carry high/severe risks of attacks at the moment, but you can't let it dictate your every move. Also the last attack was in Marrakech in 2011, nothing recent to my knowledge.

We had a fantastic family holiday in Morocco and as an ex soldier the security state is something I'm very aware of. Not of a fraction of the current threat in Turkey and thousands will still flock there in the summer! If you live your live by that mantra you wouldn't get far including our major UK cities, sporting events and shopping centres

Morocco is safe as there is no any trace of some governments/countries' intrusion. and definitely u know which countries i mean. :smirk:

​Sound advice citizen. There is a critical threat of terrorism in these countries. We should steer clear of different cultures which expand our horizons and highlight the flaws in our own systems. It's much safer to stay in the UK, especially now the government has access to internet history (nothing to hide ey). Move along now, nothing to see here.

Had this exact argument in November. Was wanting to go to Marrakech or German Market for the Dec 17-20th... Guess which exact market they wanted to visit in Germany because it was safer, they said a country like morroco was to risky. Genuinely amused, sucks there was a terror attack but couldn't have proven my point more...

However we didn't go to either due to a family issue tho.

​totally agree with you on this one

There's a high risk of terrorism in this country, especially London.

Really odd as we didn't encounter this at all. Yes there were street vendors but they were in major tourist parts as you would expect. Where we stayed in Agadir we saw them each day we walked along the prom behind our hotel , they were polite and friendly, greeting us but never being rude . As for beggars, none in this area , some in the old town, but again friendly if a little cheeky , but if you are poor you have to try your luck I guess. Again at the souk we encountered some people who I would assume may have been homeless , but only one or two, and they didn't even approach us. I've found far more intimidating behaviour from people in the streets of the U.K. To be honest. However I don't know which part of Morocco you stayed in which may have made a difference, obviously poorer areas may have issues, but we found a very welcoming country.

he mustve been reading that thread and so knew when to strike...
crappy things happen all over the world, the religion of the country/individual shouldn't be a factor in judging if you should go there or not.
each to their own i guess.

I suppose Florida isn't safe right now, would u suggest we shouldn't risk it? Heard some Muslim maniac guy was shooting at Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida and killed five people? He is a terrible Muslim maniac. He was caught alive which is really good because now the autrhories can establish his terror links and clean the society of these nasty maniacs. Other than that I suppose it's very safe as it isn't really a majority Muslim country and they don't really have shoot out every other day at schools and the police are really nice with the black community they don't go round shooting the coloured people.

I also went to Liverpool in 2015. Weather was crap

​And what a queue it will be! What with all those immigration checks.

Of course, once there you'll find Sterling worth about 80 cents to the Pound. Bargain!
