In a recent incident that highlights the importance of security for tourists, two French visitors were targeted in an attempted theft while navigating the winding streets near the historic Mellah neighborhood of Marrakech. The unfortunate event unfolded as the tourists were making their way to their accommodation, having arrived at the bustling Place des Caïdats. They had chosen a route suggested by a navigation application, leading them through the narrow alleys of the Mellah, where the theft attempt occurred.
As reported, the assailants, riding a motorcycle, attempted to snatch a handbag from one of the tourists. The sudden move caused the bag to fall to the ground, but thanks to the swift intervention of nearby citizens who rushed to assist, the thieves were unable to escape with their target.
