Is Morocco Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

I was very skeptical about the safety in Morocco but after spending a good week in this country I can tell that I felt safer than in some European countries. Of course there are a lot more strangers calling you in the street (for example I was called multiple times Shakira, inviting me to go something from their medina store) but after a while you get used to that😁

Group travel experience

I cannot say that I feel safe totally. I think it will be fine to stay a bit away from men. I wear wedding rings during my travel and I need to highlighted that I am married. Because all of the men on the streets ask about private questions related to my relationship status.

Group travel experience

I traveled with friends to Marrakech and agadir . It is not safe for women alone. Men are creepy. Food is cheap and good. You can surf in taghazout, it is Lovely, Airbnb are cheap. Be careful with taxi, always négociate the price.

Solo travel experience

Morocco is so far from my country and I haven’t new a lot, so it was my first self trip and a haven not felt safe, I was looking for safe expensive hotels, and searching a lot of information about places and it took a lot of time. During my trip I visited 10 cities and one waterfall village in the mountain. I recommend visiting Marrakesh and Essaouira first, cities in the South of Morocco. Transport is actually modern and popular. You can travel by car, buses, trains. Buses and trains have the same cost -19€. Planes are also available, but not for all cities. Food is delicious. Good quality tasty meat, big variety of fruits and vegetables. I like species, so Moroccan use it always, what is perfect for me. I like so much moroccan bread, traditional pancakes, kuskus, tajine with vegetables or plums.

Solo travel experience

Great food, kind hearted people, and beautiful scenery! So much to see when visiting and such a peaceful country. Safe and welcoming. Visited Casablanca, Chefchoen, Tangier, and Rabat. Used Airbnb for all locations and rented a car to get around the country. Great experience.

Group travel experience

I was in Morocco for a week with two friends. We stayed in a Camp and through that had a really safe surrounding. We had the chance to go surfing every day and visited the souks. If you go to Morocco, make sure to visit those if you have the chance to. I wouldn’t do it much often, but wouldn’t miss out on it either. The locals are incredible friendly. Even though as a woman you will receive a lot of comments, nobody ever really wanted something from us. The food was amazing. We got to eat local food every day and I really miss it. There are really good vegetarian options. If you stay in a camp or volunteer in one, it is possible to stay there for a lower budget. The shops aren’t as expensive and food is easy to get as well. Overall, I would go there again in a heartbeat if I would have the chance to do so. The nature surrounding the city’s is amazing and the city’s are really pretty to visit.

Solo travel experience

I spent 2 weeks there myself and had a great time. As in any country, you just have to be sensible, but I felt quite safe there. I was in Marrakech for 4 days, then I took a desert tour and met a few people who were also there on their own, and then I went to Taghazout, which was beautiful, and there were also a lot of solo travelers there. I highly recommend visiting Morocco.

Solo travel experience

I was in Morocco for three weeks. However, I spent one week with another girl, and the rest of the time I was alone and felt completely safe. I had no problems. Everyone was extremely polite and helpful. I absolutely loved it there. If I asked for directions - they guided me. I asked which bus to take from the centre of Marrakech to the airport (public transport can be confusing) and they were so kind to walk me to the place where the bus stops. However, I must add that I am an experienced backpacker with confidence and a good knowledge of English and Spanish, as well as a little French. Perhaps this made my experience so good, but I simply loved being there, I would recommend it to all my (female) friends, and I will definitely return. The food was amazing. And all the colorful markets were astounding. It was also cheap. It really is an incredible country, but I recommend using common sense. I didn't walk around alone in the dark nor did I flaunt my money.

Family travel experience

I was in Morocco with my 18-year-old daughter. We traveled for a month throughout the country, it was fantastic. We trekked through the Rif mountains, visited many cities, and also the Sahara desert. The people, culture, food, and landscapes are spectacular. Very safe.

Solo travel experience

Morocco is great and I really felt safe there. I recommend dressing in loose clothing, it's better to cover up more than to reveal. In tourist places, they don't pay too much attention to this, but in places where there are fewer tourists, you can hear some intrusive comments. Also watch out for street hustlers, who under the pretext of showing you a place, later expect payment for it.

People are very nice and heplful. They always tell me in the street to be careful with my bags. Dont use your Phone to much outside or show your jewels. Guys might do psssst psssst but that's it. Don't be afraid of Morocco.

It's safe If you are with someone, I suggest not hanging out alone. You may be flirted with in the street if you are alone. There are safe cities, but many areas must be questioned. Even if the person that you are with is Moroccan, the most important thing is trustworthy

Couple travel experience

I tried couchsurfing with my girl friend. The guy who hosted us seemed quite open, he was an artist and didn't match the "traditional" moroccan guy. But still it was very uncomfortable as after some drinks, he told us about his frustration and the time wasted because we didn't want to have sex with him and his friend.

Group travel experience

It is one of a life time experience to live a night in the sahara dessert, I loved morocco, the culture, even thé food tasted great, but me and almost half of the group I travelled with got intoxicated, so i would say to take care with that, the security in the airport is exhausting, but overall it was an amazing experience
