How safe is Morocco?
Casablanca
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.

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.

Morocco, Solo travel
I am a solo female traveler and was in Morocco for almost 3 months. I visited Marrakech, Casablanca, Chefchauen , Fez, Akchour, and Tagounite. Marrakech was crowded with tourists and I saw a surprising amount of people wearing tank tops there (of course not the locals). I do recommend covering yourself a bit more than tank tops and shorts more as a sign of respect towards local culture, but people know that tourists dress differently. Chefchauen was the blue city, also mainly for tourists. All the houses there are painted blue and it is lovely. The Medina in Fez is very large and very historical and beautiful. Be careful with your phones in sketchy areas of Fez because I was a bit careless and had it out and a kid tried to grab it from me. That was the only time something like that happened. The desert area down south is very beautiful and impressive. There are many different types of foods and sweets and I enjoyed them all. People are very outgoing. In the Medina men kept trying to talk to me, but if you tell them you’re not interested they will leave you alone usually. It was annoying but I never felt afraid.

It has my heart - would deffo go again! I thoroughly enjoyed the people the attractions and just the vibes because I felt so much more safer there than I ever did in London which was different to what people told me it would be like.
