Is Marrakesh Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

I was harassed in the old Medina a lot. I went with a group, and I am an independent person. I just walked away from the group for two minutes to buy something, and 5 men went up to me and aggressively hit on me to the point I didn’t feel safe. When I was with the group, I was fine. But the old Medina in Marrakech was probably the place where I was objectified the most in life. I definitely don’t recommend walking around the old Medina alone, maybe even with a tour. But I love Morocco and would...

Solo travel

I was in Marrakech in June. I loved it, but the harassment was a lot. Definitely not as bad as other cities like Fes (would never go back, as I was groped), but still present. I recommend making sure you are covered and trying not to be too smiley or approachable. In Marrakech, people mostly tried to sell me something or scam me, so make sure you stand your ground and be firm. A lot of the people were very friendly and kind and wanted you to have a great time. Overall, I would recommend it, but...

Solo travel

I went there solo and had the worst time dealing with harassment from both men and women. It wasn’t a great trip. I definitely want to travel there again, but I would definitely go with a man or in a group.

Solo travel

I felt pretty safe, there are a lot of soldiers guarding tourists, I walked around at night without any problems, it's enough to say no thanks and then they give up, all in all 8.5/10

Couple travel

I went to Marrakesh in 2019 with my boyfriend. We loved exploring the city the arts and the places to eat. I don’t think I’d go alone but I felt safe in a couple. We did nearly get mugged in the outskirts, but we ran and they didn’t chase us. My favourite things were shopping in the souks, eating in some nice restaurants and visiting the Yves Saint Laurent museum, Berber Museum and Museum of African Contemporary Arts. I will add some pictures from my phone….

Group travel

had the best time!! was in a group of 4 18 year old girls and for the most part was totally fine. we played it safe and always stuck together so nothing untoward happened except a guy on the street getting a but handsy as he walked past. we stayed in the median so didnt experience much nightlife apart from bars. we did an incredible day trip for only £17 tgat covered so much, by far the best day. apart from that we spent most time in the souks, christmas shopping etc was perfect. lovely warm...

Family travel

This trip was warm and comfy in my own country with my parents. The food is more than good, the prices are not bad( you can easily find your budget meanwhile). Beautiful traditional spots to visit mixing oriental and international tourism.

Solo travel

I traveled solo to Morocco for 4 days. I went quad biking in the desert, rode camels, ate delicious local food, wandered through the souks, and watched sunsets like time had stopped. Traveling alone reminded me how capable I am. Even on a short trip, you can live deeply, reconnect with yourself, and create memories that are yours and yours only 🤍

Couple travel

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...

Group travel

It was a nice sunny city with little alleys everywhere just a tad bit overpriced for the average moroccan salary tbh, also make sure to always negotiate and if you want to buy pottery souvenirs try going to Oulja in Salé instead, a whole lot cheaper!!!!!!! Almost half the price

As a woman alone I got catcalled at a lot, definitely when crossing roads and people were waiting. Once I got the guts asking why they all behaved like that and he said it was because of my ginger hair and pale skin. (I was wearing appropriate clothes) Some tried to tell me I was going in a wrong direction and only stopped following me when they saw a soldier. I once got a cheek kiss from a stranger on Jamaa el Fna. People shouted ‘Vladimir Putin’ to me cause apparently I look Russian, which...

It’s safe just keep an eye on your belongings. Don’t walk alone at night. During the day the streets are bustling and busy. Pickpocketing is a threat in these conditions. Haven’t experienced any violence or sexual harassment

Not very safe, unfortunately had some bad experiences. People trying to scam us all the time even the mocal guides. People getting angry if you dont wanna buy. For example in ait ben hadou the guide said that we had to pay an entrance when thetr was no entrance. The little factories of argan oil bully you to buy their overpeiced products etc. You agree a price, you go to pay they try and charge even more. Menu prices in the restaurants where the guides made us eat (he did not let us choose)...

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.

For foreigners Marrakech is very safe at daylight and at night especially in the center of the city All my friends who came from abroad told me that they feel so safe in Marrakech because whenever you’re you can find police and people are so nice

Safe but don’t trust in people they may cheat you on the price of things and raise the prices. They also try to force you to buy things from them or eat. Most of them are kind, but some try to force you to do things, so be careful. They are generally kind people, but beware of going into the old city at night, especially in the late hours and in the alleys that are dark. Always go to public places that are full of people. If you are exposed to any harm, go to the police because they are quick...
