Discover Morocco’s spectacular landscapes and captivating culture on a solo adventure of a lifetime
Hi! 👋 I’m Malika, a Morocco solo travel expert and long-time explorer of this spectacular country.
My journey with Morocco began in 2014 on a solo adventure that quickly turned into something far more life-changing. I (accidentally) fell in love with a local and settled in a small surf village on the Atlantic coast, making Morocco my new home.
Over the past decade, I’ve travelled this country extensively, from the dramatic peaks and valleys of the Atlas Mountains to the winding alleyways of ancient medinas. Despite being married to a Moroccan, I’m a big proponent of solo travel and the majority of my adventures are independent ones. There’s just something about solo travel that I absolutely love!
Solo Travel Morocco is where I share these experiences and insights. It’s a space dedicated to helping solo travellers (especially women) experience Morocco confidently, safely and while supporting local communities. Whether you’re planning your first solo trip or seeking authentic cultural encounters beyond the usual tourist paths, you’ll find practical guidance here alongside real, on-the-ground perspective.

Inside a Moroccan Hammam: A Solo Traveller’s First Experience
Let me start by saying that I didn’t exactly start my first hammam experience solo. But as soon as the entrance fee was paid and I was equipped with everything I needed, I was suddenly left to my own devices. My boyfriend at the time (who later became my husband) suggested we go to the…

How to Do a Moroccan Desert Camp Solo
A night in Morocco’s Sahara Desert is one of those experiences that stays with you long after you’ve left. It’s not just about being surrounded by undulating dunes (although that is amazing!) It’s the silence. The stargazing. And getting a taste of life for the region’s semi-nomadic Amazigh people. But if you’re travelling alone, the…

The Best 7-Day Morocco Itinerary for Solo Travellers
Having explored (almost) every corner of Morocco as a solo traveller, I find it hard to condense its highlights into just a week. It encompasses not only labyrinthine medinas and breezy coastal cities but also rugged mountain scenery and windswept desert dunes. So where should you visit in Morocco if you only have 7 days?…

Is December a Good Time to Visit Morocco? A Solo Traveller’s Guide
December in Morocco is a bit of a mixed bag. It can be crisp, sunny days beneath snow-dusted mountains. Or it can (as 2025 taught us during the AFCON tournament) be grey skies and heavy rainfall. If the last 10 years in Morocco has taught me anything, it’s that December is a month of contrasts:…

Solo Travel Morocco: Dealing with Harassment and Street Attention
One of the most searched questions about solo travel in Morocco (particularly from women) isn’t about riads, souk shopping or desert tours. It’s about harassment and catcalling in the street. I’ve experienced it personally and I know how upsetting it can be. It makes you feel unsafe (even when it’s not malicious) and it stops…
