Frequently asked questions

Can I fly my drone in Morocco?

Drones in Morocco are effectively banned for tourists. Tourist drones are commonly confiscated at customs — a special import permit obtained well in advance is required, and this is rarely practical for a short visit.

Do I need to register my drone before visiting Morocco?

Registration exists on paper, but tourist drone use is effectively banned in practice — consider leaving your drone at home.

Will my drone be confiscated at customs in Morocco?

It's a real risk — drones are commonly confiscated at customs in Morocco for tourists without the right paperwork.

Are there photography restrictions in Morocco even without a drone?

Yes — photographing military sites, government buildings, and some infrastructure can be restricted almost anywhere in the world, drone or no drone. When in doubt, don't photograph it.
