Solo Female Travel in Marrakesh

Solo travel experience

When you are a woman, it is more difficult also bc Marrakesh is a touristic city. However, when you say NO to someone, Marraki men understand and are respectful. I recommend you to go outside of the city center to feel the atmosphere of the city and understand the culture

I mean. The men there are nasty. Like really shouting at you, cat calling and eventhough I am keen on hitchhiking everywhere in this world there it is no no. But saying that you have a husband helps a lot tho. Appart from that the food is amazing, the public transportation is going on time and is inexpensive and the night life is thriving:)

Solo travel experience

I travel to Marrakesh in May of 2024 and I had the time of my life. I was a bit skeptical of my safety as a female traveler at first, however after arriving I felt immediately welcomed, safe and excited for my adventure! The people in Marrakesh were extremely friendly, the food was amazing. I did a day tour to the Atlas Mountains and the Agafay desert so I got to explore surrounding areas as well.

Being in Marrakesh was one of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had. I never felt unsafe; people there were really friendly and welcoming. I'd recommend going to the Sahara Desert; they offer some tours that are worth it. The typical dishes there are couscous and Tajín, and I highly recommend both of them. My budget was around 400€, and the public transportation is very easy and cheap. I'd suggest going to the Medina to do some shopping and then heading to the desert; it's really worth it.

Had a great time in Marrakech, the food is unrivalled and staying in the Medina you are close to everything you could ever want. I used the taxis with no problem too. Have been to Marrakech 4 times now

Solo travel experience

I was on a solo trip in Marrakesh and stayed in Riad. Joined some day trips via GetYourGuide and Viator. I felt very safe, the people were absolutely wonderful, and I’d definitely recommend visiting. Such a beautiful place.

Group travel experience

Marrakesh felt a little unsafe as a woman. Especially in Medina all the salesmen wanted our attention and called after us. So be prepared for that. However, the cheapest food we found was in Medina and Place Jemaa el fna. It helps if you know the language or walk with a man and it was more calm outside Medina. Otherwise everyone was really nice and helpful. They also charge tourist a lot more for taxi than locals so try to get to know the real prices and bargain. After all Marrakesh is full of different interesting places to visit and I really recommend you to go.

I really enjoed the experience. Food is good and cheap. The views are incredible. The onlybthing is that in the Medina, being a solo female, you uave to know that a lot of guys will talk to you, a lot. Sadly you have to get used to that. Anyways, people arr kind and open to help if needed

Solo travel experience

The city is exciting, safe, and affordable. The people are amazing and polite. I felt safe as a woman: men might try to flirt with you, but they stop if you don't respond. My advice: - Haggle, they expect it - Don't wear heels, the streets are narrow - Instead of a chain hotel, try staying in a riad (a Moroccan house turned into accommodation): it's nicer and more authentic - Don't take directions from people on the streets: many will guide you, but then ask for payment - Too few ATMs and a big difference in charges

Solo travel experience

I was alone in Marrakech and I loved it. I booked several day trips and had a guide for one of the days, but that did not matter to the "loud courtships" etc. Guys can tell you're a foreigner from a distance and some of them are just like that. I was there in August and although it was blisteringly hot, I did not dress in revealing clothes, yet I still attracted male attention. It did not matter where I went, it was the same everywhere. I just ignored it and had a great time.

Marrakesh is fairly safe. Usually there is not an occasion where I find myself alone after dark, the nightlife is fairly busy so there is always people around. It’s less safe for me as a local than it is for a tourist. There are tips to make sure you are always safe. The biggest thing is catcalling, it very very rarely goes further than that, I felt more in danger in my years in France than my whole life in Morocco.
