How safe is Morocco?
Chefchaouen
Despite its popularity as a tourist hot-spot, Chefchaouen has a small village mentality, and therefore everyone knows one another. The tourist areas are well policed by the local Tourist Police, and local residents are always polite, friendly and welcoming. Unlike other areas of Morocco, the haggling and harassment from shopkeepers is not at all aggressive and most tourists report a pleasant experience. I have walked all over Chefchaouen at all times of night and have never felt threatened or scared.

I did grow in marrakech and its a very modern and alive city where many communities coexist , you can't easily find urself alone in principale roads even late at night wich is greatly reassuring for a solo female traveler.

I think it’s safer than some other countries in Morocco. People here are very chill and calm (they just like talking loudly when they’re chatting about something funny lol) but I didn’t see anything bad here before.

It's a safe place for local people there's no robbery or harassment, but I hope other women all over the world feel as safe in Morocco as I feel, I won't say it's safe 100% because once there's a man on a place there's no safety there

Larache
Larache is generally safe for solo female travelers, but it's important to take standard precautions dress modestly,avoir walking alone at night,and be aware of your surroundings it's also helpful to learn a few basic phrases in arabic or french

Casablanca is just like all the big cities in the world, there are places where you can feel comfortable and other places where you have to be careful, which I find somewhat normal. You can compare it to Paris or Barcelona, where there are places where I could feel safe and other places where I would be very cautious.
Posted: January 25, 2025Rabat
Rabat is among the safest cities in Morocco. You just have to make sure that you don't stay out very late, especially in winter. In summer, many people tend to stay late so being out at 12 am is okay in summer. Just like other countries, as long as you stay vigilant, it should be okay.

There's police officers everywhere and public places you can hide in case someone is following you. The police department is efficient. And most of the embassies are here, so if there's an emergency, you can go to them.

Fairly small city next to Rabat, the Capital. A safe city overall, you can freely walk alone or at night too but not till too late if you want to avoid catcalls and empty roads. Catcalls are frequent in Morocco but mostly harmless. But it is a quite safe country and city

Tamraght, Solo travel
I went to Morocco for my first solo trip. People were telling me not to go alone there, that it’s not safe country. But honestly it was amazing experience. I stayed at the surf camp in Tamraght. I didn’t feel unsafe at all. Not a single time. What I have experienced was amazing food, beautiful landscapes and the kindest people ever. I fell in love with Morocco and I’ll definitely come back again.
