Posted: April 13, 2025Rabat 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.
Posted: January 25, 2025There'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 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
