What is the Experience of Traveling to Morocco, and Is It Suitable for Solo Female Travel?
Traveling to Morocco is an experience, and it’s not suitable for solo female travel. Firstly, Morocco itself is a third-world country with significant differences in(national quality), with some upper-class people being gentlemanly, while the lower classes are quite chaotic. This requires you to protect yourself. Throughout the year in Morocco, there's almost no solo travel. Some impoverished neighborhoods are very dangerous. Even if you go to the American Black districts, you should also be cautious. It's similar.
Secondly, as Morocco is a newly opened country for Chinese visa-free travelers, I rarely saw Asian faces. So, every time I walked on the street, I would often hear Moroccan young people chasing after us, guessing whether we are Chinese, Koreans, or Japanese. The cultural differences caused discomfort. Later, everyone got used to it, and the discomfort diminished. This is not difficult to understand. When foreigners were rarely seen when China opened its doors, we were also curious.
Now that we’ve seen more foreigners, people don’t bother to guess where we’re from unless you’re a handsome or beautiful person. Thirdly, I was harassed on the street in Morocco, but as long as I’m with a male friend, such things can be completely eliminated. For safety or for the travel experience, I advise female travelers not to travel alone.
Moroccan tourist attractions also have the habit of overcharging tourists. If you don’t speak the local language, you easily get scammed, and physical conflicts can occur. Female travelers don’t have an advantage. If needed, I can write a travel guide to Morocco to help you avoid being scammed. Let’s talk about what female travelers should pay attention to when traveling in Arab countries. Firstly, Morocco has its own religious beliefs, and one of the most important ones is that female travelers should not dress revealingly (, here I won’t go into details about religion).
You rarely see local girls dressed in revealing clothing on the street. Therefore, if you're an Asian face, and you're dressed inappropriately, you're bound to attract attention. So, it’s recommended to follow local customs and pay attention to your attire—skirts should be above the knee, and tops should have sleeves. Secondly, based on my understanding of Arabs, they generally only harass foreign women with language, not with physical actions. If you encounter problems, don’t be too timid.
