Marrakech
Bodyguard in Marrakech
In Marrakech close protection runs into geography: the medina is walked, riads have no vehicle access, and journeys break into segments.

What Marrakech demands
Marrakech concentrates everything that makes an assignment complicated: a medina no vehicle can enter, riads whose address only exists on foot, palaces and villas out in the Palmeraie, and a dense event season. Preparation matters more here than anywhere, because improvising costs time nobody has.
The medina and the riads
Many high-end places to stay cannot be reached by car. The drop-off point, the walk and where the vehicle waits are decided before arrival, not on the doorstep.
Palmeraie and the Ourika road hotels
Private villas and large hotels well outside the centre: transfers are long, often at night, and deserve alternative routes.
Events, shoots and festivals
The city hosts productions and private events all year. Perimeters are drawn with the venue and the production, never on the day.
What this covers
The scope, stated without ambiguity.
Assessing the situation
What prompts the request: an identified threat, media exposure, a family or professional context.
Reconnaissance of regular places
Home, work, schools, habitual places: regular journeys are the weak point of any routine.
Sizing the team
One person or several, continuous or at set times: the size of the arrangement follows from the context, not the other way round.
Followed through the assignment
One coordinator, a regular review, and a revision of the arrangement if the situation changes.
What we do not do
We do not promise the absence of risk, and we decline assignments whose framing looks unrealistic. An under-sized arrangement is worse than none.
Close Protection
Close protection delivered by trained officers, planned in advance and matched to the context.
View the serviceFrequently asked
Four questions that come up.
Can a vehicle reach a riad?
Rarely to the door. We identify the nearest workable drop-off and prepare the walk — that segment is precisely the one that improvises badly.
Do you cover the Atlas and the surrounding area?
Excursions out of Marrakech are scoped as journeys: route, real timings, fallback points. Say so at the first conversation.
Do we need a proven threat?
No. Many arrangements answer exposure rather than a named threat. Scoping exists to tell the two apart.
Are officers armed?
No. Our arrangements are unarmed. Regulated work is carried out by locally authorised companies within the terms of their licence.
