 Most of the female travelers ask me the same question before coming to Marrakech. From my personal experience Marrakech is a safe city i live alone in this city for about 8 years now since i moved from my village to university i go to non touristic places and they are still quite safe.

Like any place in the world you just need to use common sense, police is everywhere in  all the touristic places in the city  (Jemaa el fna Square/Old medina/New town…..)  because Tourism is a major industry in Morocco and the last thing authorities want is bad publicity for the country.

There are  some rules and tips to follow when traveling In Marrakech: 

When Walking in the medina at night try to avoid empty streets and that you are not familiar with as it is really easy to get lost and you can’t find your way back, In the new city it is fine to walk around even late at night as there are many night clubs and restaurants there.

Consider what you wear even Marrakech is a big city and locals are used to tourists Morocco is still a  conservative country, and many women walk around with their hair covered and  Dress modestly. so it is better to avoid skimpy tops, shorts and revealing clothing.

Don’t be afraid to say no you will  have people randomly approach you  on the streets and ask you where are you  from, telling us that they can show you a quicker way in the streets of medina and in the souks they will try to get you to enter their shops, in this case just say “No Thank you”.
