had the best time!! was in a group of 4 18 year old girls and for the most part was totally fine. we played it safe and always stuck together so nothing untoward happened except a guy on the street getting a but handsy as he walked past. we stayed in the median so didnt experience much nightlife apart from bars. we did an incredible day trip for only £17 tgat covered so much, by far the best day. apart from that we spent most time in the souks, christmas shopping etc was perfect. lovely warm ish temp allowed for feeling of end of summer even in december. we were a but clueless about eating but found the cheap local places for tagline by far the best and wish we had done it more. also local street stands cooking msemen were amazing. we had been told to steer clear of fruit stands as they wash it in the water which is unclean. overall great trip can’t wait to go back!
Posted: December 19, 2025This 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.

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 🤍

Surprised me by how safe I felt. I was only bothered a few times while in the medina, which is to be expected as people will try to scam you, but if I wasn’t interested in buying anything, I’d ignore them and they’d leave me alone pretty quickly. Stayed in and airbnb in Gueliz and absolutely loved the area. Felt less busy than the main centre, but still had lots of shops and restaurants around. Lots of options for food for vegetarians! Traveled around Morocco to other cities and used “In Drive” more so than taxi’s. In Drive technically isn’t illegal in the country, but most of the drivers aren’t registered taxis, so taxis do report them to the police to try and get them fined. That’s why if you use In Drive, your driver will probably park a bit away from you and any other taxi’s. I found the app to be much better than taxi’s as you offer a price on the app for where you want to go, and drivers can accept that price, or offer to do it for a different price. Once you confirm, the driver’s always stuck to the agreed on price for us, however official taxi’s can often try to charge you more than the trio is worth. If you’re thinking about doing any activities, you should definitely do quad biking and take a trip up to the Atlas Mountains. I booked my experiences through Airbnb and both were amazing!
Posted: June 18, 2025Experienced: December, 2024It was a nice sunny city with little alleys everywhere just a tad bit overpriced for the average moroccan salary tbh, also make sure to always negotiate and if you want to buy pottery souvenirs try going to Oulja in Salé instead, a whole lot cheaper!!!!!!! Almost half the price

It’s safe just keep an eye on your belongings. Don’t walk alone at night. During the day the streets are bustling and busy. Pickpocketing is a threat in these conditions. Haven’t experienced any violence or sexual harassment
Posted: August 14, 2025Not very safe, unfortunately had some bad experiences. People trying to scam us all the time even the mocal guides. People getting angry if you dont wanna buy. For example in ait ben hadou the guide said that we had to pay an entrance when thetr was no entrance. The little factories of argan oil bully you to buy their overpeiced products etc. You agree a price, you go to pay they try and charge even more. Menu prices in the restaurants where the guides made us eat (he did not let us choose) were similar to mainland Europe (14-20 euro).

I would not go here as a female solo traveler. There was one time that I was with my three children, and without my husband. I was a bit lost and a man approached me to give me directions and started to lead me down a street that did not feel safe. My antenna went up and so we hightailed it out of there. My gut told me there was something was off. In general, the men are pushy, and you have to watch for pickpockets. I had to worry about those things with my husband there.
Posted: June 26, 2025For foreigners Marrakech is very safe at daylight and at night especially in the center of the city All my friends who came from abroad told me that they feel so safe in Marrakech because whenever you’re you can find police and people are so nice
Posted: June 19, 2025Safe but don’t trust in people they may cheat you on the price of things and raise the prices. They also try to force you to buy things from them or eat. Most of them are kind, but some try to force you to do things, so be careful. They are generally kind people, but beware of going into the old city at night, especially in the late hours and in the alleys that are dark. Always go to public places that are full of people. If you are exposed to any harm, go to the police because they are quick to take action and will help you.
