Travelling to Essaouira became my habit whenever I need to relax and just enjoy life. Essaouira is a very safe city with simple and peaceful locals and tourists. You can be out at 3 am with no worries to get rubbed or sexually harassed. There are activities such as horse riding, quads, camels riding, surf, renting bicycles ( normal or electric ones) Essaouira is very alive, young people play guitar and music in its streets or perform. It is kinda windy but I find the weather to be good. Just take warm clothes with you, it’s at night that it gets cold.

I went there 3 times , it is safe, but keep a big rock by your side or a knife just in case you would never know . The place is hidden between random neighborhoods , you could ask the local people where to head to the mountain . I took the bus 18 from meknes to El hajeb and stopped at the 'marchè' place , with all our materials packed . And walked to the place you 'd better have an accompagnier ... Once you reach the place ,look for the little cave to enjoy the view from there , and don't forget to climb the mountain

Essaouira is a safe place to visit. I recommend exploring the medina, the old port (Merssa), and the Skala (Sekala). For food, try Alma Restaurant, Riad Al Madina, and Grand Café—great food and kind people. We stayed for 3 days, and it cost around 1,000 MAD per person. Our accommodation was Riad Al Madina, located in the heart of the medina, which was lively and safe. Getting around was easy as the medina is walkable with plenty of people around. It was a great experience overall!
Posted: December 5, 2024I was there this year, mainly in Marrakesh and Essaouira, and I felt safe. Honestly, compared to other Arab countries like Tunisia or Egypt, Morocco was the most friendly country for me. As a woman, a blonde, I didn't feel overly watched or harassed.
Posted: November 13, 2024We were 4 girls, including 2 blondes. We dressed casually and did get approached, but nothing too intrusive. Life in Agadir is vibrant after 10 PM. It's worth going to the port for seafood. It's safe and beautiful there.

Felt entirely safe. Extremely welcoming people. I travelled with my friend Helen. We hired a guide who is taking us everywhere we might not find on our own, arranging everything. We went on a camel in the sand dunes, ATV tomorrow, going to a Hammam, visited a nomad family, etc etc. lovely hotels. Berber pizza!

Essaouira was an amazing experience! Great food and great people! I enjoyed it a lot. I recommend buying oysters and seafood at the port area. Gnawa music is a must, as well as horseback riding on the beach.
Posted: October 14, 2024My volunteer experience in Fès was very safe because we were supervised by the local team. We didn’t stay in one specific location, except when it was for the mission. Otherwise, we explored the entire city of Fès. As for the food, we shared traditional meals with the local team. If you come as a tourist, you can easily find these dishes in the medina. However, be mindful if you’re not a fan of sweet and savory combinations, as most traditional Moroccan dishes are like that. To be honest, Fès isn’t the most touristy city in Morocco. Aside from the new and old medina, there isn’t much to visit. Since the city doesn’t have a coast, there are paid pools that you can access for a day, typically ranging from 100 to 300 dirhams. The people are welcoming, and it’s generally a safe country for tourists. However, as a woman, you need to be cautious at certain hours, and it’s also important to respect the local dress code.
Posted: October 14, 2024Rabat 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

Very very beautiful city un Morroco, called the blue city. Very safe, nice people, multiple options to eat. There’s a waterfall clase to the city. There is no pressure for buying as in bigger cities and there’s also art more contemporary. I really recommend going, you can go on a tour if you feel better this way. I would have preferred going on out own.

Fez is the city where I grew up, and I consider it my home. I do feel safe there, but not at night, which is a common concern for women everywhere. Fez is better suited for being with a group of people rather than going out alone.
Posted: December 26, 2024To be Fair enough if you are taking ubers or taxis its alright but waiting or walking in the streets at night is a little bit more dangerous and also that’s it. That’s all I can say. I don’t have anything in mind.
