Marrakesh, Family travel

This trip was warm and comfy in my own country with my parents. The food is more than good, the prices are not bad( you can easily find your budget meanwhile). Beautiful traditional spots to visit mixing oriental and international tourism.

Tangier, Solo travel

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.

Morocco, Couple travel

I would recommend Morocco, it's a really cool and interesting place. Marrakesh and Fez are cool cities to visit. Agadir and Tangier in my opinion are not worth the visit. South of the Atlas mountains I would recommend if you want to see a different, more wild Morocco. Desert cities in all it's glory. Now for the less positive things. Moroccans can be pushy, in the tourist areas. Whatever price they tell you you can be sure they have added about x10 the price it actually is. Trust me. Bargain hard! Be firm or get ripped off.

Marrakesh, Solo travel

I traveled solo to Morocco for 4 days. I went quad biking in the desert, rode camels, ate delicious local food, wandered through the souks, and watched sunsets like time had stopped. Traveling alone reminded me how capable I am. Even on a short trip, you can live deeply, reconnect with yourself, and create memories that are yours and yours only 🤍

Tangier, Solo travel

My experience was great i loved the city the vibes the balance between the new city and the old monuments. The only this that mad my travel through tanger harder is the transportation was a little bit complicated but it just i didn't have the knowledge about les grand taxi and the busses so that is it a great place i advise you to visite it .

Casablanca

It's safe compared to other cities since it's the economic capital, where a lot of companies are located. However, chance of getting robbed is high so pay attention to your purses and do not trust taxis and store owners (especially men). They overcharge tourists. Ask a woman before buying any product or service. People are generally nice and will go oit of their way to help. Casablanca is not a touristy city, except the mosque and the old Medina there's nothing much.

Casablanca-Settat

Its much safer in touristic spots, tourists must stick to those places and avoid visiting places where is less safe. I’d advice anyone coming to morocco especially solo female travelers to chat with a local to be advised about what places are safer for them

Casablanca-Settat

It depends on the area, some places are very safe and those where tourists usually go, and some others aren't safe. I think it's the situation everywhere. You should just always be watching your stuff like your bag and try to not use phone while walking in streets and stuff

Marrakech-Safi

Marrakech was beautiful. But the only thing it's men looking at you in the street. While you are passing through la medina a lot of whispers and men looking at you. I didn't go out at night. But during the day I felt safe. Actually I took taxis and motos by my own and was good.

Rabat

Rabat is fairly safe except there is some pickpockets that can s’atch of your bag and scammers that will try making you buy something overpriced. Overall there is a lot of police officers in the whole city.
