How safe is Agadir for female travelers?

Travel safety index

3.5 /5

based on 3 experiences from female travelers

Group travel

We 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.

Solo travel

I felt super safe in Agadir, but I was visiting a local friend there, so I spent most of my time with a local. Probably it would be harder for me alone, but mainly because of the language barrier; the city itself is much more pleasant than Marrakech, in my opinion. Although my friend insisted that I shouldn't wear a camera around my neck.

Solo travel

I went to Agadir, which was a nice place to spend a few days. I didn't feel it would be appropriate to go to the sea in a bikini, as none of the local women were doing that, so I used a shirt with a so-called rash vest and shorts. In Morocco, it is a personal decision whether to cover up or not, and I do not have the right to overstep boundaries in someone else's country. It is always safer to assimilate.

How safe is Agadir for women?

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)

Depending on the area you are visiting, safety measures will vary. In the touristic area, it is very safe for women to walk alone during the day or at night, but there are a few old residential areas around the city that i wouldn’t recommend you go to on your own, especially at night.
