Is Morocco safe for women?
Fez
Fez is the city where I grew up, and I consider it my home. I do feel safe there, but not at night, which is a common concern for women everywhere. Fez is better suited for being with a group of people rather than going out alone.

To be Fair enough if you are taking ubers or taxis its alright but waiting or walking in the streets at night is a little bit more dangerous and also that’s it. That’s all I can say. I don’t have anything in mind.

Very safe town, never had any weird experience or felt not safe, so chill people are most of the time relaxed just avoid to be out on the beach after midnight coz there’s a lot of drunk boys they not dangerous but they can be annoying

Morocco is absolutely safe , and the people are very kind , just don’t try go to unpopular places or alone and always ask before going anywhere about the safety of the places. .

As a local I can say tangier is decently safe, but that doesn’t mean that it really safe, like any city in the world there’s good and bad, personally I have never got robbed or sexually assaulted, but I did get catcalled multiple times and it get annoying sometimes.

You can easily walk alone during the day, receiving looks and people want to talk to you, but they are very welcoming and kind, so you have to get a different way to approach. But overall it's pretty safe, it's not common for locals to assault you, and they gonna stop bothering you if you ignore them. For my experience Rabat it's a pretty safe place, as much as my hometown in Italy (Grosseto), just different people and different languages, but as I said, they are super nice and welcoming.

Morocco is a great country, I’ve lived there my whole life and I had some difficulties going out alone during the day or at night especially in two cities : fes and Tangier , I’ve also traveled to hoceima which was a very safe city compared to these two , I wasn’t able to go out at night because of the amount of catcalling and following , I believe that for tourists the experience wouldn’t be as bad as it is for a Native

Rabat is the capital of Morocco and is very safe, cops are everywhere, as long as you don’t go to some bad areas you are very safe. Like anywhere else, disturbing individuals exist but their disturbance isn’t threatening, you just have to ignore them and carry on.

Marrakesh
Marrakech is a very safe place to travel to. The security system is advanced and powerful. And night time is very lively as well as the day time. People are nice and hospitable and they live a decent life

Tangier is pretty safe I would say and pretty much all of the northern area around the country . I've never really had a bad experience living and travelling around the city as a girl . The people are pretty warm and helpful as well .

Essaouira, Group travel
Travelling to Essaouira became my habit whenever I need to relax and just enjoy life. Essaouira is a very safe city with simple and peaceful locals and tourists. You can be out at 3 am with no worries to get rubbed or sexually harassed. There are activities such as horse riding, quads, camels riding, surf, renting bicycles ( normal or electric ones) Essaouira is very alive, young people play guitar and music in its streets or perform. It is kinda windy but I find the weather to be good. Just take warm clothes with you, it’s at night that it gets cold.

El Hajeb Province, Group travel
I went there 3 times , it is safe, but keep a big rock by your side or a knife just in case you would never know . The place is hidden between random neighborhoods , you could ask the local people where to head to the mountain . I took the bus 18 from meknes to El hajeb and stopped at the 'marchè' place , with all our materials packed . And walked to the place you 'd better have an accompagnier ... Once you reach the place ,look for the little cave to enjoy the view from there , and don't forget to climb the mountain
