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.

Mirleft, Couple travel
I visited Mirleft with my husband during Covid and absolutely loved it. It’s one of the cleanest places I’ve been to in Morocco, with stunning beaches and a super chill vibe. The food was really cheap, especially if you’re into seafood, and our Airbnb was very affordable. We stayed for 6 days and spent a total of just 250€, totally worth it. Such a hidden gem.

Marrakesh, Solo travel
I loved visiting Marrakesh solo this past weekend. I generally felt safe, but I did have an eye out for danger at all times just because of everyone saying that I should. I met another solo lady from this app and we did a free walking tour at the beginning of the weekend so we ended up meeting 2 more solo ladies that joined us for lunch and other activities. My favourite place to visit was the Medrasa Ben Youssef which was a Quran school with students accommodation. Also the Bahia palace was fascinating. I did a tour to the Agafay desert and cuddled some camels. I got a traditional black soap bath and argan oil massage which I loved and I also took a tagine cooking class!!! I loved all of it!

Hi! I’m Nouha, a 20-year-old Moroccan student studying finance and accounting. I’m passionate about discovering new cultures, meeting people from different backgrounds, and sharing stories. I haven’t had many chances to travel yet (Malaysia and Turkey so far), but I’ll be heading to France on July and I’d love to connect with other female travelers! I’m a naturally curious person—I love reading, writing, and learning about the world through people, books, news, and good conversations. I also have friends from all over the world, whether we met virtually or in person, and I truly enjoy learning about their cultures and perspectives. Oh, and I’m a big foodie—Indian food is probably my all-time favorite! Looking forward to meeting open-minded, kind souls around the world! 🥰💞
