Child sex tourism is most apparent in Morocco and Egypt. In cities like Cairo, Alexandria, Marrakech and Casablanca and other tourist areas, there is now a relation between tourism and the growth in the commercial sexual exploitation of children. Girls and boys, who work as domestics and street vendors are targeted by child sex tourists. The Moroccan NGO, Association Bayti reports that the profile of sexual exploiters of children is changing in Essaouira, Marakesh and Agadir. Westerners now account for the bulk of the exploiters as opposed to people from the Middle East. Furthermore, boy prostitution is reported to be a growing phenomenon in Morocco.
