National Emergency Numbers

Your home emergency number does not work here, whether that's 911, 999, 000, or another. The one exception is 112, which works from a mobile in Morocco the same way it does across Europe.

Call this first, works without a SIM

112

Universal emergency line. Works from any mobile phone, including without a SIM card or credit. Start here if you have a mobile.

19

Police, in cities and towns

177

Royal Gendarmerie, rural areas and highways

15 or 150

Emergency medical and fire services. Both numbers reach dispatch. From a mobile, 112 is the most reliable first call.

Medical Care

For medical care, contact your embassy or travel insurer for a current facility recommendation, since they maintain vetted lists.

Pharmacies

Outside normal hours, go to your nearest pharmacy even if it looks closed. By law it must display the address of the duty pharmacy that is open, and at least one per area stays open overnight, on Sundays, and on public holidays.
