Safe but don’t trust in people they may cheat you on the price of things and raise the prices. They also try to force you to buy things from them or eat. Most of them are kind, but some try to force you to do things, so be careful. They are generally kind people, but beware of going into the old city at night, especially in the late hours and in the alleys that are dark. Always go to public places that are full of people. If you are exposed to any harm, go to the police because they are quick to take action and will help you.

My trip to Rabat was one of the best. I felt really so safe in the city. Police were everywhere and people were helpful. When you ask someone for something helps you with pleasure. I didn't have any criminal experience but that doesn't mean that you don't need to be careful

My friend got her purse cut right off her shoulder by two young criminals passing by bike right onto a crosswalk in the city centre. Her wallet and driver's license were inside. Wasn't a pleasant experience at all

So I went with my parents to Fez and I am so happy that my dad was with me. Even he was with me I got a lot of comments from men and they looked very uncortable at me. I was very worried one time I walked by myself without my dad. I would recommend girls don‘t go as a solo traveller to Fez.

I can say that Morocco is overly safe. At least touristy places are. Although for solo female travelers it can be a little be difficult. Walking alone at night is also for the brave… you should always stick to crowded places and avoid small towns.

North of morocco is the safest side of the coutry when in morocco. People are very welcoming, very polite and warm. Be aware if scammers though! People on the street would ask if the can help you or take you to your destination only to ask you for a lot of money in return.

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.

Marrakesh, Couple travel
It was my first time in Morroco. I’m in love in this country. I’ve been only in one city-Marrakech. I felt almost safe because I travel with my boyfriend but at the night was scary because of lack of light. Very cheap and affordable city. We lived in 4 star hotel for 400€ and breakfast included. Food is cheap,for instance soup 3€ and tajine 6€. I feel very bad because we were only in the city and not outside of the city so if you have time you must booked trip to desert. To summarise,it’s worth to visit and explore.

Incredible experience, I was there for a week for work and didn’t get to fully experience Marrakech but I enjoyed what I could The food is delicious, especially the beef with prunes (Lahm bel barqooq) and the chicken tagine It’s best to travel in a group, especially to have males in the group (more safe) Jame al fena is awesome, you can buy many things there just make sure to haggle until the end and act like you’re leaving so they accept what you offer Try to visit it in the afternoon, as at night it gets a bit crazy (you can still go at night just watch out from people) I will definitely try to visit again to get the full experience
