Women Only Tours in Morocco

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.
