Is Casablanca safe for solo female travelers?

Casablanca is generally safe for solo female travelers, but it's recommended to take some precautions. Local customs should be respected by dressing modestly, and you should take care to avoid less populated areas, particularly at night. Although instances of serious crime are relatively rare, petty theft like pickpocketing is quite common in crowded tourist areas. Use trusted transportation means, preferably arranged in advance to avoid roadside haggling. Be aware of your surroundings, trusting your instincts, and you'll likely find your journey to be a memorable one.

Couple travel

Casablanca was the only city in Morocco where I felt uncomfortable and, at times, unsafe. When I was alone on the street for a few moments without my partner, a man showed up and followed me, and only disappeared once my partner came back. In Cafes, I was ignored by the staff, even though I was the one speaking French, thus normally doing the ordering. The mosque is indeed very beautiful, but overall, I wasnt impressed with my time in Casablanca.

Solo travel

I went to Casablanca as a solo woman and had several unpleasant experiences. Men were staring at me and following me on the streets, as well as in my hotel. Taxi drivers with incredibly old and dangerous cars were constantly trying to scam me. I feel it could have been a nicer experience if I had gone there with a male colleague or in a group. I've traveled a lot, but I've never had such negative experiences as in Casablanca. In the end, I was simply happy to return home. I certainly do not recommend Morocco for solo female travelers.

It's safe compared to other cities since it's the economic capital, where a lot of companies are located. However, chance of getting robbed is high so pay attention to your purses and do not trust taxis and store owners (especially men). They overcharge tourists. Ask a woman before buying any product or service. People are generally nice and will go oit of their way to help. Casablanca is not a touristy city, except the mosque and the old Medina there's nothing much.

Casablanca is a very big city . It’s not very safe as all the big cities in the world.. Vistiors should pay attention a lot especially in popular streets . Furthermore they should not walk holding their phones in their hands or their bags because there’s ones who steal while driving motorcycles

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

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.
