"Travel, let loose and don't wait for anyone." Although this sentence is very positive and motivational, the moment I decided to take this step, my mind was bombarded with worries and the questions: Is that place safe? Am I going to be faced with robbery? Am I going to enjoy being all alone for a couple of days?
To find the answer, I decided to do some research on the most enjoyable and safest places to travel alone for a woman.
Casablanca, Morocco

This is among the safest places in the Middle East, especially when it comes to sexual harassment. You can even camp in the dessert completely alone. This is what a lot of female travelers from all over the world shared on the Female Solo Travel page. They tell stories about how locals are very helpful despite the language barrier. The country is great for architectural exploration and learning about their rich culture and history.
