Women Only Tours in Morocco for Solo Female Vacations
Morocco is a land of bright colors, old customs, and beautiful scenery. It’s becoming one of the most popular places for women to travel alone. Morocco is the perfect place for women to travel alone, with friends, or with a group of friends. It’s a safe and empowering place to explore, connect, and learn more about yourself.
Women-only tours in Morocco have changed the way women see this beautiful country. These special trips give women safe places to fully experience Moroccan culture, make close friends with other travelers, and have the freedom to explore at their own pace. These activities, which are designed by women for women, celebrate Moroccan culture and women’s empowerment. They include drinking mint tea with local women artisans and dancing under the stars in the Sahara Desert.
Why Choose a Women-Only Tour in Morocco for your vacation?
We at Dahbi Morocco Tours have put a lot of thought into our women-only vacation packages to show respect for Moroccan culture and women’s rights. Our tours honor local customs while giving women the freedom to be themselves. This could mean dressing modestly in rural areas or relaxing by the pool at a private riad. We know that women travel for different reasons, so our itineraries include a mix of cultural experiences, adventure, relaxation, and personal growth.
When you travel as a woman in Morocco, things get a lot easier and more interesting when you’re with a group of women and have guides who know what women travelers need and are worried about. Women-only tours get rid of the worries that come with traveling alone as a woman. Instead of being unsure, you can be sure, and instead of being cautious, you can be adventurous.
The logistics are surprisingly straightforward. Morocco is just a short flight from Europe and easily accessible from North America and beyond. Once you arrive, getting around is comfortable—especially when you book a private family tour with spacious 4×4 vehicles equipped for long drives and air conditioning. Unlike group tours that stick to rigid schedules, private tours allow your family to move at your own pace, take bathroom breaks when needed, and stop for ice cream or photos whenever the mood strikes.
On tours just for women, the cultural connection goes deeper. In Morocco’s more traditional communities, women often feel more comfortable talking to other women than with men and women together. Your tour will give you the chance to meet Moroccan women in their homes, learn about their daily lives, and take part in traditional activities like henna application or bread baking. You’ll also learn things about Moroccan women’s culture that you can’t get on mixed tours. These close interactions lead to deep understanding between cultures and often make for the most memorable parts of your trip.
Best Destinations for Women-Only Tours in Morocco
Morocco's diverse landscape offers countless destinations perfect for female travelers seeking meaningful experiences, and our women-only tours showcase the very best.
Marrakech is full of energy that makes you feel alive and inspired. The city becomes a playground of discovery for groups of only women. You’ll visit women-run cooperatives where artisans make beautiful crafts to support their families and communities. This is in addition to the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa square and busy souks. These meetings are especially powerful because you’ll hear stories of entrepreneurship, strength, and women’s support that go beyond cultural boundaries.
The city’s fancy riads make great places for women’s groups to meet. Picture yourself relaxing by a private pool, getting traditional hammam spa treatments with friends, or having dinner on the roof under the stars. Women own and run a lot of riads, which gives people more chances to make real connections.
Fes gives you a better look at Morocco’s intellectual and spiritual past. Women travelers see the ancient medina in a different way because of its maze-like alleys and traditions that have been around for hundreds of years. You’ll go to the Al-Qarawiyyin University, which was founded by a woman named Fatima al-Fihri in 859 AD. It is one of the oldest schools in the world and a sign of how women have contributed to Islamic scholarship over the years.
Fes has some of the best cooking classes just for women. Women from the area will invite you into their homes or traditional riads and teach you how to make family recipes that have been passed down through the years. You’ll learn not only how to cook, but also how to live your life, how to have a happy marriage, and how food is important in Moroccan family life. These close sessions make connections that last long after the tagine is over.
The Sahara Desert is the most free place on Earth. For a lot of women, the desert is the most emotional part of their trip to Morocco. Riding camels through tall dunes at sunset, away from the worries of everyday life, gives you a feeling of freedom that is hard to put into words but impossible to forget.
Desert camps tailored for women’s groups offer comfortable private accommodations, clean facilities, and spaces designed for female bonding. Evening get-togethers around the campfire turn into times to tell stories, think about things, and celebrate. A lot of women say that sleeping under the wide-open desert sky, far away from their normal lives, gives them a new way of seeing things that they didn’t know they needed.
Chefchaouen, Morocco’s famous blue city, has a slower pace that women who want to relax and enjoy the beauty will love. The light blue walls make the place feel almost like a meditation space where women can walk around, take pictures, and shop without feeling rushed. The town is less overwhelming than bigger cities because it is smaller and more laid-back.
In Chefchaouen, women’s groups often spend time with local weavers and textile artists. This helps support businesses owned by women and teaches them about traditional crafts. The Rif Mountains around here have easy hikes with amazing views, making them great for groups that want to have fun outside without pushing themselves too hard.
This coastal town, which is always windy, has long drawn artists, musicians, and free spirits. Essaouira is a more liberal, bohemian part of Morocco that women travelers will enjoy. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. The medina is easy to get around, the beach goes on forever, and the fresh seafood is just as good as anywhere else in the Mediterranean.
Women-only groups often go to argan oil cooperatives near Essaouira to learn how Berber women have built businesses that last around this valuable resource. These cooperatives give rural women more power in the economy while preserving traditional knowledge. This is a great example of how tourism can help women start their own businesses.
Unique Experiences on Women-Only Morocco Tours
Tours just for women open doors that regular tourism can’t. These unique experiences help people from different cultures understand each other better and celebrate women’s strength.
Traditional hammam experiences for women-only groups turn a simple trip to the spa into a cultural ritual. Local women will show you how to do the centuries-old bathing tradition and explain what it means in Moroccan life. They will also scrub away not only physical but also emotional burdens. At first, the nakedness of the group can be scary for some, but it quickly turns into a celebration of all the different kinds of women’s bodies.
Henna art classes with skilled women teach you about this old way to make yourself look better. You’ll learn about the traditional patterns, what they mean, and how henna is used in Moroccan celebrations. A lot of women get henna done for special events during the tour or just as a pretty souvenir that fades slowly, so they can remember Morocco even after they get home.
Berber women in the Atlas Mountains are very welcoming to female tour groups. You will help make bread, have tea ceremonies, and talk about family life, the roles of women, and how rural Morocco is changing. These meetings are often very moving. Even though there are language and cultural barriers, the shared experiences of being a woman make it easy to understand each other.
In Fes and Safi, women artisans lead pottery and ceramic workshops where you can be creative with your hands. You’ll shape clay on traditional wheels, paint detailed patterns, and learn to appreciate the skill that goes into making Morocco’s famous ceramics. These workshops provide both meditative focus and tangible souvenirs of your creative journey.
Shopping at women’s cooperatives in Morocco is more than just shopping. You’ll meet the women who make the products at argan oil collectives, weaving cooperatives, and embroidery groups. You’ll also learn their stories and know that your purchases help women become financially independent. This mindful buying gives every beautiful thing you bring home more meaning.

Safety Tips for Women Travelers in Morocco
While women-only tours provide inherent safety advantages, understanding Moroccan culture helps you navigate confidently during spare time or future independent travels.
Wear clothes that aren't too revealing, especially outside of tourist areas. This doesn't mean wearing clothes that are shapeless or uncomfortable. It just means covering your shoulders, cleavage, and knees with light, breathable fabrics. Many women think that wearing loose pants or long skirts with flowing tops is both respectful and comfortable. Standards are a little more relaxed in beach towns like Essaouira, but bikinis should stay at resort pools and not public beaches.
Being confident in how you act keeps people from bothering you. Walk with purpose, make brief eye contact to acknowledge people without starting a conversation, and don't be afraid to politely but firmly turn down offers or invitations. Moroccan culture values honesty, so saying "no thanks" clearly is better than saying "maybe."
Keep valuables secure and inconspicuous. In crowded places, use cross-body bags, leave expensive jewellery at home, and be careful with your phones and cameras in busy markets. Morocco is mostly safe, but there are thieves everywhere tourists go.
Trust your instincts. If something makes you feel uncomfortable, get out of it. Express gratitude and move on if someone seems helpful but something doesn't feel right. The women in your tour group and your guide make a safety network. Stay in touch and look out for each other.
It is completely safe and often beneficial to have time alone on a tour. Many women like to explore medinas on their own during free time, knowing they can always go back to the meeting point for the group. This mix of freedom and safety is often just what solo female travellers are looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions - Morocco Tours for Women Only
General Questions About Women-Only Tours
A: A women-only tour is a type of travel that is only for women. There are only women in the group, and the itinerary is designed to meet the specific interests, safety concerns, and cultural experiences that are important to women travelers. These tours give women a safe, comfortable place to explore Morocco, meet local women, and do things that might not be possible on tours with both men and women.
Yes, of course! In fact, a lot of the women who go on our tours are traveling alone and want to see Morocco in a safe, social setting. Women who travel alone love these tours because they offer built-in company while still letting them travel alone without a partner or family. You'll be with a group of women who think like you, and these trips often lead to lifelong friendships.
Women of all ages, from their 20s to their 70s, are welcome on our women-only tours. We have found that having women of different ages in the same group makes for great dynamics where younger and older women can share their different points of view and experiences. The one thing that everyone has in common is a sense of adventure and interest in Moroccan culture, no matter how old they are. Let us know if you have specific worries about how much physical activity you do, and we can put you in touch with the right group.
Most of our tours for women only are for people who are in good shape. You should be able to walk on uneven ground for a few hours in medinas and markets. There are things to do like riding camels and going on easy hikes, but nothing too hard. We always give you choices and alternatives, so if you have health or mobility issues, we can change the activities to fit your needs. When you make a reservation, just tell them what you need.
Yes, Morocco is usually safe for women who travel there, especially if they go with a tour group. Some places can be dangerous for women traveling alone, but women-only tours with experienced guides almost completely get rid of these worries. Our guides are trained to handle any situation professionally, and being in a group makes you feel safer. We've safely guided hundreds of women through Morocco, and almost all of them had good experiences.
We give you both choices. Some of our women-only tours are led by our amazing female Moroccan guides, who share their own experiences as women in Morocco. Our male guides are specially trained and have a lot of experience with women's groups. They know how important it is to make sure that everyone feels safe and comfortable. Both kinds of guides are professionals who are aware of other cultures and are committed to making sure your experience is better than you expected. When you book, you can say what you want.
It is best to wear modest clothing out of respect for the culture. In most cases, this means covering your shoulders, cleavage, and knees. Lightweight, loose-fitting pants or long skirts with tops that let air flow work great. Standards are a little more relaxed in beach towns like Essaouira, but swimwear should only be worn at hotel pools, not on public beaches. You don't have to wear a headscarf unless you're going to a religious site that we'll let you know about ahead of time. Our guides will give you specific tips for each place.
Our guides are good at keeping things from getting awkward and dealing with them when they do. They know where and when to go to avoid problems, and they know how to get to those places quickly if someone starts to bother them. The group format keeps unwanted attention away, since Moroccan men are much less likely to approach groups of women with a guide. We've been running tours for women only for a long time, and serious problems are very rare. Minor problems are dealt with quickly and professionally.
Accommodations are carefully selected for comfort, cleanliness, and security. Most nights you'll stay in traditional riads or quality hotels with private rooms (single or double occupancy based on your booking preference). All of the places to stay have nice bathrooms, and many of them have beautiful courtyards, pools, and rooftop terraces that are great for groups. In the desert, you'll sleep in private tents at well-known camps with clean bathrooms. We never lower the quality of accommodations for women's tours.
Yes, this is one of the best parts of tours just for women! We set up real meetings with Moroccan women, such as visits to women's cooperatives, meals in local homes, cooking classes with Moroccan mothers and grandmothers, meetings with female artisans, and talks with women business owners. These exchanges between people from different cultures are often the best and most memorable parts of the trip. A lot of people who travel to Morocco stay in touch with the Moroccan women they meet long after they get home.
