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

Rabat is among the safest cities in Morocco. You just have to make sure that you don't stay out very late, especially in winter. In summer, many people tend to stay late so being out at 12 am is okay in summer. Just like other countries, as long as you stay vigilant, it should be okay.

There's police officers everywhere and public places you can hide in case someone is following you. The police department is efficient. And most of the embassies are here, so if there's an emergency, you can go to them.

Rabat is usually safe, some places we need to avoid as women but overall it’s nice, walking late at night is super fun especially with friends, again there’s places that aren’t safe even for locals but they’re mostly residential areas.

Rabat is generally safe for female travelers, many areas are welcoming. During the day, it’s comfortable to explore popular spots. At night, avoid walking alone in quiet areas and consider using a taxi or rideshare service for added safety. And stay aware of your surroundings

I walk alone at night to the beach and I come home from work very late at night, I live in a sage place as the police stations is close to me and the neighbourhood is very friendly and welcoming. I never faced or seen an issue of being harassed or robbed

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.

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.

Rabat is one of the safest cities in Morocco. Just beware of not walking in the shady areas of the city like in any.m city. Whether you’re a local or tourist. Overall it’s a safe and modern city. And the tram is very good, but ends before midnight.

Is Rabat worth visiting?

Travel rating

3.5 /5

Solo travel

Rabat which the capital of morocco is actually an expansive city compared to other ones in morocco, the accommodation is expensive if you want a nice neighborhood, the food is really great if you know where to go and I realllyy recommend TAKOTAK (they have THE best burgers ever), as for safety it depends on the places you go to like every city there are good and bad ones

Last summer my friends and i visited rabat, a morocan city near the coast. From my guest mother i learned what it truly means to speack from the heart, and altho we didn‘t share a common language, we shared our humor and caringness. Rabat is a city full of lovely people, street bazars and exiting places.
