based on 205 experiences from female travelers
I didn't have a large budget and I stayed in a hostel in the Medina. This can be a little scary if you're not used to the hustle and bustle of a busy market especially going back at night! I did feel moderately safe but I can understand if others did not. I ended up meeting up with some girlies from online travel groups which was great, and I also met another solo girly on an excursion. I had the most fun on the day trips and activities that we organised, and I do recommend Marrakech!

Surprised me by how safe I felt. I was only bothered a few times while in the medina, which is to be expected as people will try to scam you, but if I wasn’t interested in buying anything, I’d ignore them and they’d leave me alone pretty quickly. Stayed in and airbnb in Gueliz and absolutely loved the area. Felt less busy than the main centre, but still had lots of shops and restaurants around. Lots of options for food for vegetarians! Traveled around Morocco to other cities and used “In Drive” more so than taxi’s. In Drive technically isn’t illegal in the country, but most of the drivers aren’t registered taxis, so taxis do report them to the police to try and get them fined. That’s why if you use In Drive, your driver will probably park a bit away from you and any other taxi’s. I found the app to be much better than taxi’s as you offer a price on the app for where you want to go, and drivers can accept that price, or offer to do it for a different price. Once you confirm, the driver’s always stuck to the agreed on price for us, however official taxi’s can often try to charge you more than the trio is worth. If you’re thinking about doing any activities, you should definitely do quad biking and take a trip up to the Atlas Mountains. I booked my experiences through Airbnb and both were amazing!
Posted: June 18, 2025Experienced: December, 2024We were a group of 4 girls doing a roadtrip through morocco, and at the beginning we were a little worried, because you always here some negative experiences about getting harassed. But we experienced the complete opposite. I mean yes there were a little few times we were called after but most people we met in Morocco were the nicest! We felt so welcomed! People invited us all the time for tea and food (for free). And i think once you get the hang for haggling nothing can go wrong hahah. I definitely think you have to be careful a little and trust your instinct, but we really had the best time. And i would say it’s also safe to solo travel. I am already planning to go back soon! For the extremely beautiful nature and all the lovely people i met and can call my friends now :)

I did a semi-solo trip to Morocco and honestly, it was a mix of nerves and magic. I started with a FlixBus from Lyon to Marseille, then headed to Agadir, Taghazout, and Marrakesh. I was anxious at first — Morocco has a reputation for scams and cash-only places, but speaking some Arabic helped a lot. I went during Ramadan, which made the experience even more special. Locals were super friendly and open to sharing stories and meals. The souks can be intense (and yes, scammy), especially taxis — you have to bargain if you don’t look Moroccan. But I stayed in super affordable hostels, met great people, and my friend surfed while I explored. It was just 4 days, but I’d definitely go back!
Posted: May 29, 2025Honestly Marocco waa such a nice place to go, you just have to be careful and very aware of your surroundings while always trusting your gut feeling... But overall, great people and amazing views and food

I felt so safe. I recommend going.to akshour a waterfall next to chefchouan. It’s very beautiful and nice Very calm Food in Morroco is better indoors. Budget I spent around 13 euros hostel in 15 euros activity per day I did hitchhike to the waterfall. One day in chefchouan is enough. Super touristy tho

I would not go here as a female solo traveler. There was one time that I was with my three children, and without my husband. I was a bit lost and a man approached me to give me directions and started to lead me down a street that did not feel safe. My antenna went up and so we hightailed it out of there. My gut told me there was something was off. In general, the men are pushy, and you have to watch for pickpockets. I had to worry about those things with my husband there.

In Rabat, girl you're the safest. But overall in Morocco, don't walk or go to shady neighbourhoods. You might get cat called but Moroccans are more afraid of assaulting/bothering a foreigner than they are when it comes to Moroccans 😮💨. It's mainly cause we like showing outsiders our good side and also cause the police and government are way more protective of foreigners (tourism is one of the main industries here). Avoid walking alone past midnight. I do stay late sometimes in different parts of Morocco but never alone. Don't be afraid of going to the mountains. Just insure that there's a local guide with you and that you don't sleep in a tent.
