Any tips for two female friends travelling Morocco together?

Two female friends is, honestly, one of my favourite ways to see Morocco travel — it gets you nearly all the freedom and intimacy of solo travel with a meaningful layer of comfort and safety on top. A pair draws noticeably less hassle than a woman alone; catcallers and faux-guides target the solo and the lost far more readily, and two confident women moving together are a much less appealing mark. You'll also simply have more fun — someone to share the sensory overload, the bargaining victories, the desert sunrise and the inevitable funny mishaps with.

The big practical advantage is that you can divide and conquer. In the chaos of a souk or a transport hub, one of you navigates with the phone and offline map while the other keeps an eye on bags and surroundings; one handles the haggling while the other holds firm on the budget you agreed beforehand. Watching each other's drinks and belongings, and having a second pair of eyes on a dodgy-feeling situation, makes everything lower-stress. You can also back each other up against a pushy vendor or persistent hassler — a united "no" is far easier to hold than a solo one.

Agree a few ground rules early, because the medinas swallow people. Decide on a meeting point and a plan if you get separated (the riad, a recognisable gate, a specific café), keep each other's phone numbers saved and a power bank handy, and screenshot your riad's location to show taxis. Talk through money and pace too — friendships can fray over budgets and energy levels on the road, so being honest upfront about what each of you wants (more shopping, more chilling, an early night vs. the night market) keeps the trip joyful rather than tense.

Beyond that, the standard female-travel wisdom still applies and is easy as a pair: dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered) to keep comments down, use trusted riads as your base for guides and drivers, take petits taxis back at night rather than walking dark empty lanes, and book a reputable operator for the desert and any long-distance driving. Two women can comfortably do the lot — the imperial cities, a Sahara night, the Atlas, the coast — and most pairs I host come back saying it felt far easier and warmer than they'd feared. Travel confidently, look out for each other, and Morocco will reward you richly.
