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.

How safe is Morocco for solo female travelers?

Marrakesh, Group travel

I was harassed in the old Medina a lot. I went with a group, and I am an independent person. I just walked away from the group for two minutes to buy something, and 5 men went up to me and aggressively hit on me to the point I didn’t feel safe. When I was with the group, I was fine. But the old Medina in Marrakech was probably the place where I was objectified the most in life. I definitely don’t recommend walking around the old Medina alone, maybe even with a tour. But I love Morocco and would...

Morocco, Solo travel

I’m short, blonde, blue-eyed, with a tattoo sleeve, and went to Morocco by myself for 3 weeks. Marrakech was amazing; I walked alone in the Medina every day (stayed for a total of 6 days). Yes, men may approach you and ask to be your guide or try to give you directions to random places, but just ignore them completely and they will stop. If they follow you, ask them to stop, that you’re not interested, and that’ll be it.

Marrakesh, Solo travel

I was in Marrakech in June. I loved it, but the harassment was a lot. Definitely not as bad as other cities like Fes (would never go back, as I was groped), but still present. I recommend making sure you are covered and trying not to be too smiley or approachable. In Marrakech, people mostly tried to sell me something or scam me, so make sure you stand your ground and be firm. A lot of the people were very friendly and kind and wanted you to have a great time. Overall, I would recommend it, but...

Marrakesh, Solo travel

I went there solo and had the worst time dealing with harassment from both men and women. It wasn’t a great trip. I definitely want to travel there again, but I would definitely go with a man or in a group.

Morocco, Group travel

I recently went to Morocco for a week with two of my girl friends, and the harassment was pretty awful. We fully covered our shoulders, arms, chest, legs, everything, but we were still constantly catcalled (genuinely 50+ times in the span of 30 minutes at one point). I never felt like I was actively in danger, but it wasn’t comfortable, and I definitely wouldn’t return without a man. All the women we saw with men were completely immune; we were so jealous.

Agadir, Family travel

My experience in Agadir was amazing. I did a desert activity tour for only 48pp! This included quad biking, sandboarding and camel riding, and I was there for just over 3 hours. I wish driving a car was as fun as driving quad bikes! The beach is absolutely beautiful and the waves are huge which is so fun to dive into. There’s lots of lovely restaurants in Agadir on the marina, and very cheap! I also rode up the cable car to Agadir Oufella which was super cool. Some cons is that it’s not the...

Marrakesh, Solo travel

I felt pretty safe, there are a lot of soldiers guarding tourists, I walked around at night without any problems, it's enough to say no thanks and then they give up, all in all 8.5/10

Martil, Family travel

It was good but the prices were so high in comparison with what we got the rent costs nearly 200$ for a decent place for a family the food was different we couldn’t find what we’re used on getting but overall it was a fun experience

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...

Is Morocco safe for women?

Fez

It’s a safe city just like the others if u go to the old neighborhood in medina or some far places from the center of the city specially at night u might encounter some problems but it’s not that dangerous

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
