- I'll be telling you the story of what happened to me when I brought my drone to Morocco. Walking you through all the steps to get your drone back and what not to do or how to prepare to recover your drone.
Don't worry if your drone was held at the airport, you can still get it back.
If you did manage to sneak your drone into Morocco then you should work extra hard to sneak it back out because the penalty is worse.
Safe travels!

dude super helpful! No one else explains the details like you did. I am traveling all over Europe and Morocco and I know i cant bring it in, but this helps me with the logistics for sure!
I'm glad this can help you avoid the stress I went through when I got there. Enjoy your travels!
I bring my drone to Morocco, but I didn't know that wasn't allowed (my fault). I entered the drone in the country (without passing any x-ray machine at the airport) and I flew over the sahara...so far so good. But the day I left the country, in the airport they saw my drone through the x-ray machine. After 2 hours of chat and argue with the Douane department and the Royal police, they kept my drone (WITHOUT the chance to get it back) and my hard drive, plus a fine of 1530 dirhams (150€ aprox). So yes, it's better to be caught with your drone at the entrance in the country...
Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope this video will keep people from having the same fate as you. Happy travels!
Enric Masias Batlle Thanks Enric, I'm recently ex-pat to Morocco and was planning to get a drone, I won't :(
@@dostaquitos1215 your Drone may be now with one of the Douane department Kids :-) flaying around.
Cool right on man . I hope you had a good time in Morocco
thank you I did !
Thank you so much for explaining the situation
Tournage USA I hope it helped. Enjoy your trip! :)
Always check drone regulitons in any country you go, you could get in big trouble otherwise...
My friend come to morocco from usa he brings his drone here we did a great videos
Breaking News Wow you had no trouble? I'd love to see the video. There are some great landscapes
You were lucky if you've been caught you will literally go to the jail
I am traveling to Morocco (5 days) after visiting Portugal and Spain and have no choice but to bring the drone along with me. Appreciate the video and information. Can you please confirm the following: The fee to store the drone for around 5 days.
Hey! i'm glad it was helpful. It should cost about 200 Dirham. about 20 EU, and you only pay when you pick it up on your way back out of the country.
i m from morocco
i know its not cool that u cant use a drone in morocco
but its jst like that because here no one likes to be filmed ...
and jst by the way
filming with a camera or a phone in public is also illegal without certification
and u only get the certification if you work as a press guy ...
so in general you can only film something without taking people in it
but police cant deny everyone at any time so u can film with a camera as long u dont get caught by police or angry people
maselito the gamer Oh wow, I had no idea that it's so strict.
Oh I did not know! thank you for the information!
Holy shit. I guess that I won't bring any camera gear into Morroco then. At least it's a good chance to forget about filming and just enjoy our vaccation.
Marius Lukošiūnas That is not even true lol. You can film in public 😂 just some people don’t like it. It is not illigal at all.
@@shumkis its not illegal he is saying bullshit
Awesome detailed video of your experience. I’ll be going to Morocco end of this year and this would’ve been super stressful without knowing all this beforehand. Thanks!
I'm glad it was helpful. It was super stressful for me at the time haha. I wouldn't wish it on anyone else. Have a great trip! :)
Ok so can we talk constructive now. How do I get a permit to bring my drone in?
Unfortunately the legislation is still “young” in terms of “importing” your drone as it is considered as an importation activity ( even as a tourist ) . To bring your own drone you need to go through companies who already obtained the special permit ( agrément ). It is allowed, I believe, for filming, big productions, research …long story short, it is a rabbit hole.
Just got back from marocco an while surfing drives where flying over our heads all the time. Not sure how come is that fine then
My entry is Tangier there I can surrender my drone but my exit is Casablanca ,so how I pick it
I am working on ship right now I have drone , drone head part I leave it in ship other part can I possible carrier like battery and remote please advise me or I can leave full unit in ship only
Very helpful information, I was planning to go on holiday in there but now I have look elsewhere, not worth the hassle
Not going to a country because you can’t use your drone? That’s a bit excessive
Super helpful bro. Glad you got it back in the end. Chur
I love Morocco
I have one question
If I manage to sneak my drone into Morocco and my drone is caught, when I leave Morocco, how the penalty is worse??
Well, backup your videos and photos before the airport. They will most likely take it and fine you.
1100 dh
Thanks so much super helpful. Do you know if this applied to casablanca airport?
It's a country-wide ban :(
Do they scan you in customs or just your bag?
Did you put the drone in the check in luggage or you took the drone with you into the plane in a back pack?
It was in my back pack, but I think they scan all the checked-in luggage before you leave the airport as well, so it will most likely be found.
@@dostaquitos1215 oh my goodness I'm flying to morroco on the 1st of October but I'm really tempted to sneak it in😭😬🤦🏻♂️
@@rayhankareem6360Hey I just have a question please, did you manage to sneak the drone because I plane to do it too ?
@@ayoubaymen9508 yes I managed to sneak in the drone maybe because I with my wife and child I would advise you to separate the drone to a completely different bag mixed with electronics
@@rayhankareem6360 Thank you man. Did the bag got scanned by the x-ray machine because I'm really afraid of it to be scanned. I don't know if they can detect a DJI mini 2 in the bag with the x-ray machine
Drones are a matter of national security in Morocco. Even developed countries are struggling with regulations and technological solutions to counter "treats" that might be caused by the usage of drones. So Morocco decided, I can't deal with that, I am not getting it in.
But still if you do the right paper work you can get it in, as far as I know you need some license to carry it around the country.
National what ??? I have a drone + drone insurance that covers 100.000$ damage + drone Pilot certificate and still won't let u use it ? I think it s unfair .
@@NoruegaDrone as long as Moroccan authorities cannot know nor prevent you from flying a drone in an airport, a Royal palace, military base or any sensitive area, it is practical and cheaper for them to ban it without a license.
@@MohammedYASSINE like Morocco is something special? Civilized countries use geo blocking to prevent drones flying over prohibited areas. Is as simple as that..
@@_Viking get and education Mr Viking !
many countries refuses drones...check google before traveling..Nicaragua , Egypt are Drone illegal...
I won't go to a country that has so sophisticated rules then!
I’m super concerned... I bought the drone here in the US, I’m going to Morocco for a month and then going back to Brazil which is my home. Can I bring it with me and leave it at customs? Do you think it’s safe?
You can pay to store it at customs and pick it up on your way out of the country. I think it's safe... they had a lot of drones there and mine was fine.
hi, make sure you let them know as you enter the country about your situation.
It should be fine as they hold many drones. And just DON'T lose your paper to pick it up on the way out.
Thanks man! Hopefully it will be alright!!!
@@milli9317 hey man, what happened during that 1month trip? Did they give back the drone? Did you pay 200mad as well?
@@youssefelkawther4363 yep! Left it at the airport and kept the receipt they gave me. I had to pay a bit more because I stayed for more than a month. Make sure you show up super early for your flight because it took me foreverrrr to get my drone back, they’re not in a hurry to help.
tHANKS BUDDY VERY IMFORMATIVE
Anwar Benny Happy to hear it!
I'm from Morocco bro
And I left it just because of this kind of fuckin' rules
Man they really don’t play about drones at all I could imagine them freaking out and then acting really nice once you verified you were dropping off/picking it up 😂
The only drones allowed in Morocco are the ones who strike on polizario 😎 hhhhhhjjj
Yeah you can't fucking bring your drones to Morocco for fucking kingdom privacy. I'm from marrakech and I race drones but i can't fly for this fucking reason
krista and Simo cool! How can you drone race in Morocco since it is so ilegal ?
No way I wish I can fly in Morocco. I do fly in seattle Washington
krista and Simo Cool. I used to live in Seattle
