Is it safe to travel to Morocco alone?

Is it safe to travel to Morocco? This is everyone's biggest worry when going out, especially when traveling alone. In fact, Morocco is generally safe, but you should be more careful when you go out. So is it safe to travel to Morocco?

First, overall social and environmental security.

On the whole, Morocco is a relatively safe country in Africa, with stable political situation and fewer terrorist incidents. Although more than 90% of the citizens are Muslims, the overall atmosphere is more inclusive and open.

Local residents are used to European tourists, Japanese tourists and Korean tourists. Now they are exempt from visas for three years, and have gradually become accustomed to China tourists, so they won't make too much fuss about your arrival. The folk customs of some travel notes are not good, and most of them exist in scenic spots with serious commercialization. In fact, after getting along for a long time, you will find that most of the local residents are kind and simple.

Every city (big city or suburb) in Morocco has patrol police, especially the streets near the palace (every city has a palace). There will be routine police inspection at the entrance of every city. If you join a desert group, you will find that every new city will meet police to check vehicles and driver's licenses. If you drive, don't take any chances, because wherever you go, as long as you dare to speed, you will be caught by the ubiquitous police.

Second, there are still loopholes in some areas.

Marrakech and Fez: Medina, a popular scenic spot in these two cities, is also an old city, and there may be petty theft. First, the scenic spots are becoming more and more commercialized, with mixed dragons and snakes and many tourists, which is the fat in the eyes of thieves. Second, the geographical environment of the old city is complex, and many alleys are like mazes. Historical attractions and characteristic homestays are mostly hidden in the maze, which is not easy to find.

If the hotel you booked is in a remote and deep location, you don't know how to contact the host in advance to help lead the way; If you have a poor sense of direction, all the scenic spots you visit are in the alleys of the old city, and there is no legally certified local city guide, then you will easily be entangled in idle "wild guides", who will pretend to lead the way for free and finally ask you for money. Of course, you may meet sincere and kind locals to show you the way, but it's hard to say for new tourists.

Casablanca: There may be wild at night, so don't go out alone at night, don't wander around in remote places alone, take care of your precious finances, and don't just play with your mobile phone when crossing the street.

Third, whether it is safe or not also depends on the individual's "ability to travel"

If you are a person with strong "travel ability" (good mentality, strong adaptability and strong sense of direction), you can go to Morocco alone as long as you do a good job in traffic strategy (special focus) and accommodation strategy, respect local customs, keep a low profile, do not show off your wealth, and do not act alone in the middle of the night or in remote places.

If you don't meet the requirements and have little travel experience, it is recommended to travel together, especially for girls. If you hire a car driver or customize a private group, it is recommended to have at least two people, so that you can share the cost.
