I was in Morrocco about 8 years ago. I traveled with a male friend all over the country for 3 weeks. I told everyone that this friend was my husband so that it seemed more respectable, and I also dressed very conservatively. Despite this, I had numerous problems with the men in Morrocco. The instant my “husband” turned his head, something would happen. One example is while coming out of a house that sold rugs: we were descending the stairs, the stairs turned as we went to the lower floor, and our guide turned around and grabbed my breast. My “husband” was just two steps behind me at the turn of the stairs and could not see what happened. Things like this happened during my whole trip and it got to the point where i would just stare down at the ground wherever I was. I didn’t want to do anything that would appear as an invitation of any sort. Also, I do speak French and was able to communicate with people in that language. I wasn’t completely oblivious of what was happening around me. Anyway, I lived in Europe and travelled all around for over a year and never had this problem before. I have also travelled extensively in Asia and Latin America alone and did not have the types of problems that I had in Morrocco. It is a beautiful country, but take precautions if you go. I certainly would not go there as a female alone.
