Morocco is one of the most beautiful countries that Africa has in store, but not everyone has the same experience during their visit. Going there as a solo female traveler can be tough, but these useful tips can make things a little bit easier.
Unwanted Attention
One of the most uncomfortable parts of visiting Morocco as a female traveler is unwanted attention from the male population. You may find yourself trying to avoid stares, catcalls, and unwanted inquiries, but they’re easier to ignore if you avoid eye contact and act confident and determined while moving around the city.
Dress Modestly
Another great way to avoid unwanted attention is to dress modestly during your visit. After all, Morocco is an Islamic country, so it’s highly recommended to cover your knees, elbows, and cleavage, and wear clothes that are loose and light.
Right Place
You’ll deal with less unwanted attention in bigger cities than in small, rural areas, so it’s better to stick here if you’re visiting Morocco on your own. Doing some research to avoid unsafe cities and neighborhoods is also highly recommended. If there are some places that you really want to visit but don’t feel safe going alone, try looking for tours where you’ll be grouped with other travelers.
