Is Morocco Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

How safe is Morocco for solo female travelers?

Morocco, Couple travel

Such a beautiful country! I definitely recommend renting a car and exploring different cities. I absolutely loved the experience of traveling around Morocco—each place had its own unique atmosphere and charm. The food is incredible too, with so many delicious local specialties. One thing I'd mention is that I wouldn't necessarily recommend traveling there alone as a woman. I experienced quite a bit of everyday sexism and unwanted attention, which could make parts of the trip feel...

Toubkal National Park, Group travel

I recently completed the 2 day hike up mount Toubkal (the highest mountain in North Africa) and honestly it completely exceeded my expectations. It sits at 4167m of elevation. We booked a guide through get your guide who was incredibly helpful and taught us so much about the landscape and the Amazigh/berber people of the Atlas Mountains. The first day was relatively straightforward, with about 1000 metres of incline but it is more gradual, with picturesque views through valleys and crossing...

Chefchaouen, Family travel

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

Morocco, Solo travel

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.

Taghazout, Solo travel

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...

Tangier, Family travel

Lovely city, great infrastructure, much more modern than I expected, people are kind overall. They have a hard time with language, most of them speak only Arabian or some of them speak French, this is especially difficult at restaurants and supermarkets, but in the local markets it is different, they will very likely talk to you in your first language without a problem. At night it's very likely that homeless people will ask for money or food, but they don't get aggressive, it's a bit...

My first big trip with my mother. It was just amazing. We visited Marrakech and Essaouira. I fell in love with Marrakech! I recommend the date and honey ice cream from Ourika at Zeitoun café right in the middle of Jamaa El Fna square.

Morocco, Solo travel

I loved marocco. Such a special place and very backpacker friendly. I switched hostels pretty often and since the villages at the coast between Agadir and Essaouira are so small it felt like I knew everyone. The country is very diverse and there is a lot to discover and try. It was my first time surfing in Marocco!

Fez, Solo travel

It was interesting to learn about the culture and the history of the town. However I don't recommand traveling alone there. I was always bothered by men in the street that were pretending to be nice just to ask for money after.

Rabat

Rabat’s pretty safe I think, just avoid narrow streets and crowds. Try to stay in big streets and keep your phone inside your bag and always keep it in eye view. I’ve lived here my whole life and never had any bad experiences. Just be careful like you’d be anywhere.

It can be safe, but for women, be careful of harassment and take care of your money. Men also.

It’s safe in the morning ( just be aware of pickpockets), less in the night. You need to have a car or order Ubers and try to only walk in the corniche area It’s the most protected . That’s all I have to say

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
