Morocco, Couple travel

Loved travelling here but it did feel very unsafe at points I am glad I didn't travel here alone. The activities available are amazing though so it is definitely worth it if you can find a good group of friends to go with

Absolutely loved it and I would go back in a heartbeat. The food was amazing, the people were kind, I felt safe. I really enjoyed taking in the beautiful architecture, scenery, and culture. There was so much to experience and I feel like two weeks allowed me to scratch the surface. Bussing locally, intercity, and taking the train was so easy.

I worked there in a surf camp. When I first arrived it definitely was a bit a cultural chock. The streets are very dirty, the cars are driving like crazy and the overall infrastructure felt a bit neglected (compared to what I knew from Germany). The guests were mostly European and the staff was international as well as local. It was a good vibe. All in all it was a very good experience. Turists have to be a bit careful regarding prices. They know quickly that you don’t come from there and then...

Lovely city, great infrastructure, much more modern than I expected, people are kind overall. They have a hard time with language, most of them speak only Arabian or some of them speak French, this is especially difficult at restaurants and supermarkets, but in the local markets it is different, they will very likely talk to you in your first language without a problem. At night it's very likely that homeless people will ask for money or food, but they don't get aggressive, it's a bit...

Essaouira

Essouira feels really safe during the day. There were some shady characters in the evening near the port, but no bothered us. Keep your wits about you! I've heard outside of the Medina can be a little sketchy.

Rabat

Rabat is super safe city comparing to many others in Morocco. We can see police officers almost everywhere, the routes are easy and clean. It is also a very clean city, green . It is a safe place to visit and to live in as a woman!

Marrakech-Safi

I personally found it very safe. The Medina is quiet and empty and night so like any major or modern city, I wouldn't recommend being out in the dark alone. I traveled by bus, cab, and train and found all methods very easy and safe.

I personally felt safe but like any form of travel have your wits about you. Don't walk the Medina alone at night, the streets are empty in spots and like any modern city ally, there can be issues. Personally I had none, but I was mindful and I watched my phone and used a waist bag. I visited Marrakech, Merzouga, and Essouira. I also took the train and bus. I found it very easy and comfortable.
