Marrakech safety advice for first-time visitors

Hello 👋🏻

My girlfriend and I are travelling to Morocco soon. Our first stop is Marrakech for 2 days, then Casablanca. We’re flying into Marrakech because it was the only direct option, and my girlfriend already has a list of places she really wants to see there.

I’ve been reading a lot of posts here and elsewhere, and to be honest some of the stories about scams, intimidation, and tourists being targeted or even life threatening situations in the medina made me very very scared.

Because of that, I wanted to ask people who have been there recently for practical advice. Most of the places she saved are in or around the medina/Jemaa el-Fnaa area.

For a couple visiting during the day only, is it reasonable to do those places by going directly to the nearest drop-off point, visiting specific spots, and then leaving again, rather than wandering around freely?

Is visiting the medina in daylight generally fine if you stay aware and keep a clear route without wandering and looking lost or being on the phone?

I also have a camera with me, would you avoid bringing one into the medina and just use a phone instead?

We already decided we won’t be out after sunset, so all outings would be in the mornings/midday.

I’m not trying to insult Marrakech or Morocco I’m just looking for practical advice so we can plan this in a smart (and safest) way.

Thanks a lot.
