is marrakech safe for women

Street harassment: Some women report occasional catcalling or unwanted attention, especially in busy areas like the medina (old city). It’s usually verbal and not dangerous, but can be annoying.
Clothing: While Morocco is relatively liberal by North African standards, it’s still a conservative country. Dressing modestly (covering shoulders and knees) helps avoid unwanted attention and shows respect for local culture.
Tourist areas: Places like Jemaa el-Fnaa square are lively and usually full of people, which adds to safety—but watch your belongings as pickpocketing can happen.
At night: It's best to avoid walking alone in quiet or poorly lit areas late at night, especially in the medina’s winding alleys.

Walk confidently and ignore street comments.
Use a local guide or join group tours if you’re feeling uncertain.
Choose reputable riads/hotels in safe areas.
If you feel uncomfortable, step into a shop or café for help—Moroccans are generally warm and helpful.
