Solo Female Travel: 7 Moroccan Destinations You’ll Fall in Love With

Planning an adventure to Morocco? Before you go, here are some helpful tips for women traveling solo – as well as some of our favorite destinations across this mesmerizing North African country.

Where to Stay in Morocco as a Solo Female Traveler

When venturing beyond the larger tourist cities in Morocco, dressing conservatively is always appreciated – and for women traveling alone, covering your shoulders and knees can help you blend in and avoid unwanted attention. Morocco’s coastlines are quite liberal in comparison to its inland cities so feel free to dress however you like in seaside towns like Essaouira or Agadir – just bring a scarf, regardless, as the desert can be chilly!

Planning a private tour to Morocco? Traveling with a local driver not only allows you to explore at your own pace, it ensures you’ll always have someone familiar with the country by your side. Riads are among the safest accommodations in Morocco, particularly for solo female travelers. Typically owned and operated by families, most have only a handful of rooms and become quite attached to their guests. You can count on staff to look out for you and treat you like family.

In Terms of Neighborhoods

Avoid wandering off the beaten path after dark.

Where to Go in Morocco
Your riad and your guide are your oases of safety, but like anywhere you travel, common sense goes a long way. Stick to well-lit areas with lots of foot traffic and avoid exploring unfamiliar neighborhoods at night. Most cities are safe in Morocco, but the main squares and restaurants are your best bet for night life.

Languages Spoken: Arabic and French

Planning Tips for Solo Women Travelers
While you’re there, don’t hesitate to speak the language! Nothing will get you farther in Morocco than learning how to say “Thank you” and “No, thank you.” Shukran and la shukran (pronounced LAH shoo-KRAHN) will become your best friend!

Trust Your Gut

Whenever you travel, but especially when traveling solo as a woman. If you ever feel uncomfortable, remove yourself from the situation confidently and safely. Moroccans are overwhelmingly friendly and helpful but always listen to your gut.
