Solo travel

It was interesting to learn about the culture and the history of the town. However I don't recommand traveling alone there. I was always bothered by men in the street that were pretending to be nice just to ask for money after.

Group travel

My 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...

Group travel

i definitely don’t recommend to solo traveling in Fez as a female. Me and my friend (also female) got harassed in every streets, both in the day and night. People try to steal your money telling you that the streets are closed and to follow them. It’s a pity because the medina is beautiful, unique and characteristic

So I went with my parents to Fez and I am so happy that my dad was with me. Even he was with me I got a lot of comments from men and they looked very uncortable at me. I was very worried one time I walked by myself without my dad. I would recommend girls don‘t go as a solo traveller to Fez.

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.

My main concern about Fez for women is verbal harassment. For tourists however, there is a lot more safety. As usual when travelling, do not carry valuables with you and be mindful of sketchy settings.
