Is Casablanca safe for solo female travelers?

Casablanca is generally safe for solo female travelers, but it's recommended to take some precautions. Local customs should be respected by dressing modestly, and you should take care to avoid less populated areas, particularly at night. Although instances of serious crime are relatively rare, petty theft like pickpocketing is quite common in crowded tourist areas. Use trusted transportation means, preferably arranged in advance to avoid roadside haggling. Be aware of your surroundings, trusting your instincts, and you'll likely find your journey to be a memorable one.

Couple travel

Casablanca was the only city in Morocco where I felt uncomfortable and, at times, unsafe. When I was alone on the street for a few moments without my partner, a man showed up and followed me, and only disappeared once my partner came back. In Cafes, I was ignored by the staff, even though I was the one speaking French, thus normally doing the ordering. The mosque is indeed very beautiful, but overall, I wasnt impressed with my time in Casablanca.

Solo travel

I went to Casablanca as a solo woman and had several unpleasant experiences. Men were staring at me and following me on the streets, as well as in my hotel. Taxi drivers with incredibly old and dangerous cars were constantly trying to scam me. I feel it could have been a nicer experience if I had gone there with a male colleague or in a group. I've traveled a lot, but I've never had such negative experiences as in Casablanca. In the end, I was simply happy to return home. I certainly do not recommend Morocco for solo female travelers.

It's safe compared to other cities since it's the economic capital, where a lot of companies are located. However, chance of getting robbed is high so pay attention to your purses and do not trust taxis and store owners (especially men). They overcharge tourists. Ask a woman before buying any product or service. People are generally nice and will go oit of their way to help. Casablanca is not a touristy city, except the mosque and the old Medina there's nothing much.

Casablanca is a very big city . It’s not very safe as all the big cities in the world.. Vistiors should pay attention a lot especially in popular streets . Furthermore they should not walk holding their phones in their hands or their bags because there’s ones who steal while driving motorcycles

About me

I am Oumaima, a 16-year-old with a deep passion for learning and discovery. I love physics, mathematics, history, and foreign languages, and I constantly strive to expand my knowledge in these fields. Additionally, I have a keen interest in technology, particularly robotics, and I aspire to become a technology engineer in the future. I have participated in several distinguished activities, including journalism projects where I was involved in information gathering, filming, and editing. I also gained experience in directing a film about cheating. Moreover, I take part in competitions such as Young Reporters for the Environment. However, my most notable achievement is being a parliamentarian in the Children's Parliament, where I participated in the COP29 climate session simulation. In this context, I engaged in significant discussions, presented proposals, and contributed to debates on issues concerning youth and society, which strengthened my ability to engage in dialogue and make informed decisions.

About me

I’m an adventurous and optimistic soul, always seeking new experiences and excitement. As a true Sagittarius, I thrive on freedom, exploration, and spontaneity—whether it’s traveling, trying new things, or immersing myself in different cultures. I love drawing, dancing, swimming, and staying active at the gym. Cars and bikes fascinate me, and my music taste is all over the place—Latin, rave, Arabic, pop, hip-hop, rap—anything with a good vibe. Movies and series are a big part of my downtime, and even though I’ve never surfed, I’d love to try. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest, and I’m always ready for the next adventure!
