Maxi dresses and long skirts : These are perfect for comfort and modesty. Pair them with a light scarf to cover your shoulders when needed. Tunics and leggings : A long tunic that covers your hips paired with leggings can be both stylish and appropriate. Closed-toe shoes : While sandals are tempting, closed-toe shoes are more practical for uneven streets and can also protect you from unwanted attention. Sleeveless tops and short skirts : These are generally frowned upon and attract unnecessary stares.
High-heeled shoes: Pretty but not very practical for trekking in the Morocco desert or walking around sightseeing on the city streets. Edgy designs: Morocco is not the place to try to make a fashion statement. If it's a style or design that would stand out, even in your own country, chances are it's not suitable for Morocco.

Double locks : Always use all available locks on your door. Some travellers even recommend carrying a portable door lock for added security. Keep valuables safe : Use the room safe for your passport, money, and other valuables. If you are staying in a hostel dorm room, you can usually leave valuables in the reception safe. Greetings : A simple nod or a smile is usually sufficient for women when greeting Moroccan men. Physical contact, like shaking hands, is best avoided unless the man initiates it.
Public behaviour : Public displays of affection are frowned upon, especially for women. Even holding hands can attract unwanted attention. Photography : Always ask for permission before taking photos of people, especially women and children.
Religious sites : Women are often not allowed to enter mosques unless they are Muslim. Always check before entering any sacred site. Personal growth : Solo travel can be a transformative experience, teaching you to be more independent.
