Morocco
10 Answers
We are due to fly to Marrakech on Monday morning, and are worrying about the muslim riots taking place in various countries. Our insurance does not kick in till Sunday, and have booked the hotel through the Easyjet holiday website. Not sure now whether we should be thinking about cancelling, and losing all the money, or go ahead as planned and wait and see. What would you do?

Morocco is a Muslim country but (at the moment) it seems far less radical than its neighbour Algeria, and Northern Africa is not the Middle East, when feelings run a lot higher. Only you can decide, but I would go.

The Post Office travel insurance covers you from the minute you leave home until the minute you get home, but it does cover you from the minute you take it out for certain things. For example if my boss broke her leg and needed me to work instead of going on holiday then that would be covered. I'm sure it would also cover you if either the Foreign Office recommended that you do not travel there, or your airline pulled the flights. You need to check your policy.
Oh, but do register on the Foreign Office Locate service. That way if anything does occur they know that you are there and will be able to contact you.
