Is Marrakesh Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

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

Couple travel

I definitely didn't feel safe, there are too many men cat calling you, following you etc. If you're traveling with your boyfriend or a man in general, you'll feel so much safer but I traveled with my female friend and we had bad experiences. Markets are too expensive, food is cheap but questionable quality. We stayed in an all girls hostel so we felt safer. Using public transport is easier than I thought even tho it's a complete mess (buses are not on time, so many people on skuters braing every existing rule on the roads). Taxis will take so much money from you-you have to negotiate the price and don't do anything before you agree on the price.

It was my first time in Morroco. I’m in love in this country. I’ve been only in one city-Marrakech. I felt almost safe because I travel with my boyfriend but at the night was scary because of lack of light. Very cheap and affordable city. We lived in 4 star hotel for 400€ and breakfast included. Food is cheap,for instance soup 3€ and tajine 6€. I feel very bad because we were only in the city and not outside of the city so if you have time you must booked trip to desert. To summarise,it’s worth to visit and explore.

Solo travel

I loved visiting Marrakesh solo this past weekend. I generally felt safe, but I did have an eye out for danger at all times just because of everyone saying that I should. I met another solo lady from this app and we did a free walking tour at the beginning of the weekend so we ended up meeting 2 more solo ladies that joined us for lunch and other activities. My favourite place to visit was the Medrasa Ben Youssef which was a Quran school with students accommodation. Also the Bahia palace was fascinating. I did a tour to the Agafay desert and cuddled some camels. I got a traditional black soap bath and argan oil massage which I loved and I also took a tagine cooking class!!! I loved all of it!

It’s a great experience and will continue traveling to this location. The hospitality of the locals is amazing and was able to learn so much. The food is delicious and I mostly enjoyed the msemen bread.

In Morocco, I overall felt safe because I was with my boyfriend, who has a beard and receives respect from other men. However, if you walk with females only, men will make comments as you pass by. I did not like that.

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 to take action and will help you.

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.
