Female travelers in Morocco may face treatment different from what they are used to back home:
- Though local women tend to dress conservatively, this is not expected of foreigners and many travelers dress as they normally would back home. That being said, there are travelers who say dressing more conservatively helps draw less attention and made them feel more comfortable, so it's not a bad idea to pack some conservative clothing items to have on hand just in case.
- It’s common to be catcalled in Morocco. Years of feedback and advice tell us that it’s best to ignore the calls and keep walking forward.
- If you do find yourself receiving unwanted attention, staying in a group is one of the best deterrents.
