As a solo female traveller, I always feel safe travelling around Marrakech.
The friendly locals are incredibly hospitable, which makes Morocco a wonderful place to visit.
Whenever I visit Marrakech, people are so helpful and always with a big smile across their faces.
Nothing is too much trouble for them.
For me, this is what makes Marrakech so special.
