Is Marrakesh Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

Loved Marrakech, it was my most recent travel experience. I was with a friend and we really enjoyed ourselves. First of all, I will say the food is amazing 😍 Secondly, I liked the vibe, to me it was chill and relaxing. Totally reccomend!

Solo travel

Loved my time in Marrakech! Felt quite safe throughout - some men would try to speak to me but nothing intimidating or harassing Beautiful architecture and plenty to see! I stayed at the Central House Hostel in the Medina and it was great, would recommend!

Family travel

I went in January last year, it was all round an amazing experience! Would reccomend going to the secret garden, the atlas mountains and trying chicken pastilla! I went with my mum and I won't lie I did feel a little unsafe, most people are just shop owners trying to chat or get you into their shop to earn a living but we did have one guy follow us down the street, shout at us aggressively and make a throat slit motion which was quite scary! That being said the rest of them were respectful when we said we weren't interested in buying things from their shop and backed off so I think that guy had some problems.

Solo travel

When you are a woman, it is more difficult also bc Marrakesh is a touristic city. However, when you say NO to someone, Marraki men understand and are respectful. I recommend you to go outside of the city center to feel the atmosphere of the city and understand the culture

I mean. The men there are nasty. Like really shouting at you, cat calling and eventhough I am keen on hitchhiking everywhere in this world there it is no no. But saying that you have a husband helps a lot tho. Appart from that the food is amazing, the public transportation is going on time and is inexpensive and the night life is thriving:)

Solo travel

I travel to Marrakesh in May of 2024 and I had the time of my life. I was a bit skeptical of my safety as a female traveler at first, however after arriving I felt immediately welcomed, safe and excited for my adventure! The people in Marrakesh were extremely friendly, the food was amazing. I did a day tour to the Atlas Mountains and the Agafay desert so I got to explore surrounding areas as well.

Being in Marrakesh was one of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had. I never felt unsafe; people there were really friendly and welcoming. I'd recommend going to the Sahara Desert; they offer some tours that are worth it. The typical dishes there are couscous and Tajín, and I highly recommend both of them. My budget was around 400€, and the public transportation is very easy and cheap. I'd suggest going to the Medina to do some shopping and then heading to the desert; it's really worth it.

Had a great time in Marrakech, the food is unrivalled and staying in the Medina you are close to everything you could ever want. I used the taxis with no problem too. Have been to Marrakech 4 times now

Solo travel

I was on a solo trip in Marrakesh and stayed in Riad. Joined some day trips via GetYourGuide and Viator. I felt very safe, the people were absolutely wonderful, and I’d definitely recommend visiting. Such a beautiful place.

Group travel

Marrakesh felt a little unsafe as a woman. Especially in Medina all the salesmen wanted our attention and called after us. So be prepared for that. However, the cheapest food we found was in Medina and Place Jemaa el fna. It helps if you know the language or walk with a man and it was more calm outside Medina. Otherwise everyone was really nice and helpful. They also charge tourist a lot more for taxi than locals so try to get to know the real prices and bargain. After all Marrakesh is full of different interesting places to visit and I really recommend you to go.

I did grow in marrakech and its a very modern and alive city where many communities coexist , you can't easily find urself alone in principale roads even late at night wich is greatly reassuring for a solo female traveler.

It is safe, just avoid empty and dark Alley's at night and stay aware of your surroundings. Don't roam around in places you don't know alone, and be firm (don't be overly nice to strangers). If you're not sure about something just ask someone around, people are helpful.
