Sirin

I’m an extrovert who loves traveling and exploring new cities. I’m not for the boring All Inclusive kind of holidays. Getting to know the culture and the way people live is the joy of traveling. Food, music and new languages is what makes my experiences worthy. I am open minded and respect every culture and tradition. However, I’d always pick a nice cocktail soirée over clubbing. I’m not for the night life, or better said night life is not for me. Guess I’m getting old😴😴 Hit me up whenever you need a travel buddy.

Solo travel experience

I’ve been to Agadir and Marrakech, and there were several times I felt uncomfortable, the street vendors were often very annoying, but that happens in almost all parts of Africa from my experience. People were mostly very nice and helpful. I reccomend to dress respectfully and always be aware of your surroundings.

Just visited Morocco a few weeks ago: I definitely recommend Marrakesh, Chefchaouen, Fes, and the trip to the desert. In Casablanca I stayed only few hours to visit the mosque (worth it). The people are nice and very welcoming.

I was just in Marrakech and Agadir and loved it, but the harassment from men was awful, and every 2 seconds (particularly in Agadir). Morocco is an unbelievable country and well worth visiting, but the harassment is very intense.

Solo travel experience

I did a Morocco round trip with a tour. The organized days were perfectly fine, but whenever I was getting around alone, the amount of sexual harassment I experienced (not only verbal, but also physical) was shocking. I also found myself in two situations that could have ended pretty badly, but luckily my instincts kicked in and I got away. It's a beautiful country and I will definitely go back one day - but it will be with someone else (preferably male).

Solo travel experience

I was just in Morocco for 5 weeks. I spent 2 weeks traveling through Casablanca, Essaouira, and Taghazout. I personally loved Taghazout and had zero problems there on my own and felt totally safe. Essaouira was a nice spot and the Medina there felt much easier and safer for me to navigate compared to other places. The last 3 weeks of my trip were spent in Marrakech, Tangier, Chefchaouen and Oualidia. There was definitely a lot of verbal harassment anywhere I went but I was able to enjoy my time.

Solo travel experience

I went in December, I stayed in a Marrakesh riad with spa facilities I booked direct and it wasn't expensive at all. Flights with Easyjet, hotel arranged transfer. Every day I booked an excursion. I did the waterfalls, camel, and quad biking, a walking tour. I was there for 6 days.

Went to Morocco by myself. Marrakesh for 10 days. Spent the time sunbathing and swimming. Loved it. I have been massively hassled by men in many countries but actually, I found that was not such as issue as many places.

Solo travel experience

I loved Fes, Rabat, Essaouira, and Chefchaouen and had a blast on a day trip in Marrakech that included three hours on a quad in the dessert. Also enjoyed an Atlas Mountains hike that I took out of Marrakech. The only place I didn't enjoy was Casablanca. The beach was over-crowded and the city didn't really have a unique feel to it.

I went solo to Morocco and am very glad I went. I felt safe and it was easy to get around on public transport. My fave spot was Essaouira because I love beaches and seafood. I stayed in a riad right on the ocean wall.
