Is Morocco Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Morocco is generally safe but requires the traveler to exercise a certain degree of caution and awareness, especially in crowded markets and streets where pickpocketing or harassment could occur. It is suggested to dress modestly and abide by the cultural norms. Avoid walking alone in isolated areas at night and always make sure someone knows your plans.

Lovely city and people! I might have an advantage since I’m half Moroccan, but I felt safe and the prices were reasonable. Even in December, the place was packed, but I recommend it and will go back in a few weeks.

Loved travelling here but it did feel very unsafe at points I am glad I didn't travel here alone. The activities available are amazing though so it is definitely worth it if you can find a good group of friends to go with

Absolutely loved it and I would go back in a heartbeat. The food was amazing, the people were kind, I felt safe. I really enjoyed taking in the beautiful architecture, scenery, and culture. There was so much to experience and I feel like two weeks allowed me to scratch the surface. Bussing locally, intercity, and taking the train was so easy.

I worked there in a surf camp. When I first arrived it definitely was a bit a cultural chock. The streets are very dirty, the cars are driving like crazy and the overall infrastructure felt a bit neglected (compared to what I knew from Germany). The guests were mostly European and the staff was international as well as local. It was a good vibe. All in all it was a very good experience. Turists have to be a bit careful regarding prices. They know quickly that you don’t come from there and then...

Morocco is safe like the majority of countries you have just to stick to full roads and avoid empty roads on walk but on ride you are safe day and night

Rabat

Rabat is very safe, especially if you want to go out at night. You might get catcalled but that is it. You can use in drive for transportation at night and they offer the police number in the app as an emergency call. Also, everywhere in Rabat has lights so it is rarely dark. There are of course some neighbourhood that you d rather not go to but it is mostly safe

Different than in Marrakesh, people were very respectful and helping. The people in the mountains are overall kind. We didn’t think we would see anyone late in the evening on the mountain and we wore shorts and a tank top. We came across three men who humbly lowered their gaze. They don’t seem to have much, but would give you everything. I recommend going here cause it’s simply safe for us women. Maybe because you hardly see -35 y/o men.

Marrakesh

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...
