Is Tangier safe for solo female travelers?

Tangier is relatively safe compared to other regions although caution is always advised, especially during night times. Street harassment may be an issue particularly for visibly foreign women, and while it's often not dangerous, it can be annoying and persistent. In terms of personal security, it's generally safe, but pickpocketing is common in crowded spaces like markets. It's advisable to be mindful of your belongings, use reputable transportation services, and avoid secluded areas during less busy times.

Couple travel

It was an incredible trip, the best part was the food I think, we did very beautiful routes and excursions to other cities. The bad part is that, being a woman, if I was alone for just ten seconds (no exaggeration) I would already feel the stares and people would say things to me. But overall, I would do it again, I recommend it.

I enjoyed a pleasant holiday in Morocco, visiting Marrakech and Tangier, wonderful cities where I enjoyed many experiences such as the food, guided tours of palaces or mosques. Discovering other cultures different from your own is always very enriching, and I would definitely return to explore more places in Morocco.

As a local I can say tangier is decently safe, but that doesn’t mean that it really safe, like any city in the world there’s good and bad, personally I have never got robbed or sexually assaulted, but I did get catcalled multiple times and it get annoying sometimes.

Tangier is pretty safe I would say and pretty much all of the northern area around the country . I've never really had a bad experience living and travelling around the city as a girl . The people are pretty warm and helpful as well .

Tangier is safe, just avoid very local places and neighberhoods. The more youare surrounded with people the more you will be safe. Touristic places are always safe, also in the city center.
