Morocco is such a lovely land. To be honest I was just in the big cities Marrakesch and Fes, which means, I cant talk for the whole country but for the touri spots. Here are some tips I wish I knew earlier: •its incredible hot even in october-but dont underestimate the cold evenings! •never hold ur handy in ur hand without safety. Take a cord with u of put it in a bag •dont trust people in the big cities. Talking is money BUT(!!) If u are nice to them, they will be nice to u •respect the culture and religion: no short skirts, shirt over shoulder etc. Learn about ur destination
Posted: July 16, 2025Experienced: September, 2024I 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

Agadir, in my opinion is a safe city for a girl to explore, of course there’s some areas that are a little risky, but those are obvious to any visitor (they’re generally empty of people and avoided by the public) there are some shameless attempts at catcalling thrown at me every once in a while but they rarely if ever develop into something serious. Public transportation may seem scary at first but it’s very safe, in my experience, if somebody tries to pickpocket or something like that, he’s quickly noticed and stopped by the public. But late night walks may seem risky in certain places but if you stick to main streets you have nothing to fear( just beware of passing cars, some people get very stupid and try to convince you to go for a ride)

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.
