Is it safe for a woman to travel alone to morocco?

There are some key tips for your travel to morocco:

1- Dress conservatively and be attentive to your environment (see how Moroccan girls and ladies dress and mimic it).

2- use your common sense. If you are going to a touristic area, then no adjustments needed as ppl are used to both western and far eastern cultures. However, if you are planning to go on your own to villages and small towns, then, focus more on tip 1 and you will be fine. locals in small towns tend to have high respect and hospitality to ppl who respect them (respect starts with how you look then how you act).

Hope this helps.

Enjoy your stay.

Hi, Morocco is a very safe country, crimes against tourists are not tolerated, as long as you stay clear from late night trouble in the edgy part of the town you are visiting you should be fine.

Dress appropriately, act same way, don't response to extra attention that you will get from guys trying to connect with you! your visit should be memorable, more information about Morocco can be found here

I'm a guy, but I've traveled in the Middle East and Arab countries a fair amount and would say that yes, you will be safe but you will also will be singled out as a target for the petty scams and unwanted attention that you as a single woman will attract. I loved Morocco but it can be full of hassles for the independent traveler, no matter what sex you are. If you are confident, assertive, conscientious of local customs (modest dress especially), polite and on guard for your safety as you would be in any place where you would stick out as a tourist, then you should be OK.

As to where to stay, you don't mention which city you will be staying in. Go to Fez and avoid Casablanca. Many other good places to travel to, but it doesn't sound like you have much time. For individual recommendations of places to stay within each city/town, go to lonelyplanet.com and post a question on the Thorn Tree.

Yes but you must use common sense. For example, large cities there are like large cities anywhere else in the world. There are good and bad neighborhoods. If you traipse around in a large city not knowing the difference it would be very unwise. Tourist areas usually have a great deal more police protection, and there are many people who can speak some English, even in the bazaars, enough to help you. If you go to more rural areas dress on the conservative side and you'll be better respected.

Yes it is, just dress kind of modestly. No need to go crazy, just cover up your womanly parts, no sexy clothes. My Mom and I have been going there for years, I was born there, and so was she but we have lived in the Midwest out whole lives. So it can be a culture shock for some, but not if you have manners for different cultures and respect for yourself and what you show in public. Bottom line, yes it safe for a woman to travel alone to Morocco, my elderly mother just went there last month without knowing to read, write, or drive. You'll be fine, Moroccans speak Spanish and French as well, and alot speak English too:) Email me for any questions, if you need help:) Have an awesome trip:)

@"Peace" ?!!! come on, be realistic buddy ! --------------------------------------... well...if i said its safe i'd be a lier, if i said it isn't i'd be a lier too. If you're alone & you speak only English! you need at least someone who can translate to Arabic. + you have to have a knowledge of Moroccan money & prices, & yu need to watch out from hustlers...they're everywhere like flies. a hustler won't take your hand bag & run away, no, he'll promiss a good placeto stay, cheap (supposedly cheap) proces for trips & food...etc. back in 2006, in Asilah (north of the country) while we were going to a far beach through a valley (nature) way, my uncle & i came across 2 australian girls, they were lost & seemed to take the wrong way...we guided them & we were gonna take them to our restaurant (like any restaurant owner would do), but when we arrived , they met a hustler that they seem to already know, he talked to them a little...& then thy just went with him. we figured out later that he badmouthed us & said we're kinda theives & stuff... that's what hustlers do to own tourists. But generaly, its not really that scary, it also depends on the city you're goin to...i'd play hustler on you if you're coming to Asilah lol :)) it's not really that dangerous, you just have to be a lil smart , & watch your bag & stuff well...thats it. you also need to keep sure not to be alone in a far & empty area, like the beach in the early mornin, or natural areas in the border of the city... But, you said "few girlfriends" ?? i guess if you're a bunch it would be better...i didn't suggest a tour because i see people on tours seem kinda tied or sth; not totally free to go wherever they want & do whataever they want. Goodluck PS: i'm here if you need infos about trains planes.

Only if you stay strictly in the tourist area.
