Is Marrakesh Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

It’s a great experience and will continue traveling to this location. The hospitality of the locals is amazing and was able to learn so much. The food is delicious and I mostly enjoyed the msemen bread.

Couple travel

In Morocco, I overall felt safe because I was with my boyfriend, who has a beard and receives respect from other men. However, if you walk with females only, men will make comments as you pass by. I did not like that.

Solo travel

I took off to Marrakech on a whim with just a backpack and a small budget—about a hundred euros in dirhams, and I didn’t go over it! I had pre-booked my activities, like a desert stay, camel riding, and hiking in Ouzoud, so everything was set. The local food was amazing, and the people were so warm and welcoming. Definitely one for the books!

Group travel

Loved Marrakech, it was my most recent travel experience. I was with a friend and we really enjoyed ourselves. First of all, I will say the food is amazing 😍 Secondly, I liked the vibe, to me it was chill and relaxing. Totally reccomend!

Solo travel

Loved my time in Marrakech! Felt quite safe throughout - some men would try to speak to me but nothing intimidating or harassing Beautiful architecture and plenty to see! I stayed at the Central House Hostel in the Medina and it was great, would recommend!

Family travel

I went in January last year, it was all round an amazing experience! Would reccomend going to the secret garden, the atlas mountains and trying chicken pastilla! I went with my mum and I won't lie I did feel a little unsafe, most people are just shop owners trying to chat or get you into their shop to earn a living but we did have one guy follow us down the street, shout at us aggressively and make a throat slit motion which was quite scary! That being said the rest of them were respectful when we said we weren't interested in buying things from their shop and backed off so I think that guy had some problems.

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

Solo travel

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:)

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.

Safe 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.

I did grow in marrakech and its a very modern and alive city where many communities coexist , you can't easily find urself alone in principale roads even late at night wich is greatly reassuring for a solo female traveler.
