casa : j'y suis restée 4 jours une année et je pense que c'est suffisant pour découvrir la ville (sauf si vous vous en échappez dans les environs). moi je suis descendue ensuite re-4 jours sur Marrakech :))))
hébergements : pour 150 DH à deux/nuit vous devriez trouver.
casa ???????, pourquoi casa c'est pas le maroc authentique ; le maroc que les touristes aiment voir
aller voir du côté : marrakech essaouira ouarzazat ........... et environs
il y a d'autres endroits à voir authentiques
Merci pour ta réponse. En fait on voudrais aussi aller à Rabat et à Fes pour une nuit dans chaque ville. Il nous faudrait une idée des prix d'hôtel ou maison d'hôte.
A Casa il y a surtout a mosquée HassanII à visiter et le quartier des habous. sinon c'est une grande ville ou il y a beaucoup de circulation. j'aime beaucoup mieux Rabat et sa médina .
Quel est ton budget?
Pour Fès tu as l'association: http://www.ziyaratesfes.com/ qui propose des logement chez l'habitant dans la médina de Fès. c'est la solution que nous avons choisie en avril. Un très beau riad restauré grâce à cette association qui permet aux propriétaires marocains de conserver leurs belles maisons en accueillant des touristes.

Budget pour Fès avec cette association 400Dh chambre avec salle de bain et petit déjeuner pour deux personnes.
Il y a certaines chambres dans les maisons à 350Dh avec salle de bain partagée;

Bonjour nanichou je vois que tu es lyonnais , j'habitais Lyon egalement , je suis a Fes maintenant
mais on ne sait pas quel est ton budget??? je vis en medina et il ya des logement maison d'accueil vers chez moi .bien située
vous etes combien ????
A+ cordialement
Bonjour, Pio je suis de Lyon on peut dire. Je suis d'origine sénégalaise ayant vécu à Lyon. Nous sommes deux filles et pour l'heure nous avons 900 euros, restauration y comprise.
Pour Fes, nous y serons juste une ou deux nuits et 4 à Casablanca. Ensuite nous irons à Rabat pour un jour, mais là nous n'aurons aucune dépense à faire puisqu'on y a été convié et la personne en question nous loge et nous paie le transport e tout le reste.
900€ pour deux .... oui c'est largement possible car les logements sont a +/- 15 € jour le taxi et bus vraiment a petit prix et pour manger si vous faites pas la fine bouche vous mangerez a moins de 6€ le repas pour deux ex: un tadjine trés copieux 3€50 pouvez manger a deux une assiette de poisson 5€ pour deux , certes a cela il faut rajouté les liquides, café, thé et eaux a moins de 60cts d'euros
Tu es Sénégalaise, alors tu trouveras bien des sénégalais qui t'inviterons a dormir chez eux ils sont nombreux a Casa ou a Fes.
Par contre, moi je serais vers le 07 juillet a Rabat, je dois y rester 2 jours pour le visa mauritanien si vous souhaitez que je vous invite a manger faite mois signe ..
Je serais a Lyon vers le 2 juillet, appelez moi au 07 62 36 97 67 je vous donnerais des adresses et des indications précieuses
Si tu penses que c'est suffisant on part sur cela alors. Malheureusement on ne connait pas de Sénégalais là-bas. Il parait, qu'ils sont nombreux à Casa et à Rabat donc on aura l'occasion d'en rencontrer certainement. Merci aussi pour ton invitation ce sera un plaisir. On on te contactera, une fois à Rabat et même avant je pense qu'on aura besoin de beaucoup plus d'information sur les endroits, souks...
MERCI A TOI
Au Maroc pas besoin de connaitre pour ce faire invité, bien évidement vous êtes 2 femmes pas la même choses ... rire. Ecoute je pense venir pour le 06, le 7 au plus tard je serais a Rabat pour mon visa. de la je pourrais vous guider vers des auberges si vous n'avez pas fais un bon choix. je partirais pour Fes et Meknes par la suite je peu vous prendre avec moi cela ne vous coûtera qu'un café et peu être un bout de viande. mon en France et le 07 62 36 97 67 et au Maroc le 00212 6 49 35 14 34. je suis d'origien Cap verdienne et suis né au Sénégal. je pourrais peu etre vous trouvez un hébergement a Casa je crèche chez une famille très sympa quand j'y suis.
Waw c'est super cool là. on est à priori partante. Oui ce serait cool si on pouvait trouver un hébergement dans une famille en participant au frais, si possible, parce qu'à l'hôtel on s'éloigne un peu de la vraie vie. 🙁. J'ai bien noté tes numéro. Nous on arrive le 6 à 10h du matin.
Merci et bien des choses,
Pour l'arrivé a l'aéroport vous auriez a prendre un taxi ou un bus si cause budget qui vous déposera en ville mais je vous conseille le taxi pour ne pas être dans le brouillard il vous en coûtera 200DH/250DH (20€) faut discuter le prix avant et bien demander de vous déposer vers un hôtel qui pratique des tarifs a 200dh pour la première nuit, je vous conseille cela.
le petit Taxi ne sont pas cher des tarif entre 15 et 40dh maxi pour un trajet style hotel souk de casa ou souk grande mosquée plus rapide que les bus sur casa.
Puis pour vous rendre a ailleurs il y a le train pas cher et très correct, d'ici là je pense que je serais a Rabat et peu être même le 6
A bientôt envois moi un texto pour que je puisse avoir ton numéro et si tu veux bien j'ai peu être un ami qui peu vous accueillir a votre arrivé il est de Pau .
Cette maison que tu proposes, tu la loues combien ?
A te lire
Cordialement

BOnjour,
Si je peux me permettre un conseil, méfiez vous des messieurs ( ce sont toujours des messieurs qui proposent aux femmes 😉 ) une maison ..Surtout quand ce même personnage propose son aide à toutes les femmes qui postent sur le forum, mais bon, à vous de voir ! Bon séjour !
Pas du tout, un homme qui invite spontanément une femme inconnue que voulez vous, chez moi, c'est suspect ...Surtout pas de procès d'intention, je suis mariée à un algérien depuis 25 ans , je suis bien placée pour connaitre les mentalités locales 😉
et merci de ton conseil ... je connais le Maroc depuis plus de 40 ans et j'ai l'habitude de "barouder".. ce qui ne me met pas à l'abri des mal intentionnés me diras tu .. et on peut en effet considérer que proposer spontanément sa maison peut paraître suspect...
Je fais confiance à priori tout en ayant toujours "les pieds sur terre" et en étant vigilente. Et comme la peur n'évite pas le danger ....... rires
Bonne journée à tout le monde
Cordialement

les insultes sont dans le fait que vous mettez en garde des gens sur des personnes que vous ne connaissez nullement !!!
Votre algérien n est pas Marocain alors ne pensez vous pas que vous devriez vous occuper d autre personnes que les Marocains !!!
Hola ... Ancolie ou mélancolie ??? des insultes j'en ai vu nul part plus haut mais vos mots sont blessant ... Algerien, Marocain Tunisien ??? ou est le soucis , êtes vous raciste ? et pourtant, vous êtes Musulman, du Maghreb, Africain ... et puis si cet Algerien te donne son sang ou un rein ?? le refusera tu si il est Algerien ??
je suis un homme et j'offre le couchage un peu a tout le monde, ceci ne fais pas de moi un obsédé
bonsoirje suis d'accord pour dire qu'il n'y avait aucune insulte dans les propos d'Estelle .. Je ne comprends pas bien tes propos..
Bonne fin de soirée

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to travel solo to Oman in December 2025, renting a vehicle that allows me to camp in certain areas. For those who’ve already explored the country this way, could you share your experiences or tips?
I’d also like to visit the Wahiba Desert, but in that area, I’d prefer a guide for driving and, most importantly, not to sleep in those luxury desert-edge camps but rather have a "wild" escape under the stars. Any guide recommendations? Thanks in advance – Clem
Hi there, I’m Brigitte, 66 years old, fairly active and in great shape. I split my time between the Tarn region and Nantes, have a youthful spirit, and am very easy-going. I’m looking for a woman with a similar profile for a road trip in Southeast Asia—half humanitarian work and half free travel. The trip starts in October 2026 in the Philippines on the island of Panay, then moves on to Indonesia and Malaysia. The journey could last up to 4 or 5 months, as I have no fixed schedule. If you’re cool and friendly, feel free to message me. See you soon!
hi there
I’m leaving on October 1st for Rio, which I’ll be exploring over 10 days while staying in Copacabana and Ipanema.
After that, I’m heading to Ilha Grande, Paraty, and finally a flight to Iguaçu.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on Rio. Is it possible to walk around and explore without constantly worrying about getting my phone snatched?
I’m traveling alone and don’t speak Portuguese.
I need GPS to get around.
I love walking and don’t really like taking taxis, which is why I’ve booked two places to stay in Rio to experience different neighborhoods.
But is this doable given the security concerns there?!
In short, can you travel peacefully?
Thanks for your feedback if you’ve been to Rio!
Best,
I’m traveling solo to Armenia in mid-September for three weeks, and I’ll be using public transport. I have a few questions:
- Does Yandex work everywhere, even in villages?
I’m looking for:
- Nice guesthouse addresses in the north (national park) and the south, including the village of Ararat,
and a simple but clean hotel in Yerevan that’s convenient for getting to the bus stations later.
- Any great tips or advice you can share.
Actually, I’m a bit worried I’ll be stuck only visiting tourist sites without a car. What do you think?
Thanks for your help
I’m arriving in Tana on 9/10/26 as a solo female traveler.
Which hotel in Tana is good for the first night since I’ll get in at 10 PM?
What’s worth seeing around Tana?
I’m planning 2 nights in Tana,
then 2 nights in Andasibe? After that, Lake Itasy.
Any suggestions? Thanks
I contacted several agencies in Madagascar to arrange this 4x4 trip along the coast.
Always the same answer: a tailor-made trip with at least 2 participants.
Since I don’t want to travel alone and a friend isn’t available, I’m looking for a woman to share this trip with the agency Mahay Mada, which offers a 12-day, 11-night tour of southern Madagascar. I’m available from August 23 to September 14.
Thanks for your direct response at 0784659791. See you soon, Mireille
I’d love to settle around Da Nang for about a month and explore the surrounding areas in Vietnam.
I’ve already been to this country and don’t feel like rushing around every day like I used to a few years ago.
I’d really like to find some company to stay for at least a month, and then maybe spend a month in Cambodia...
Given that I’m now 76, I don’t want to run around like I used to, trying to see everything...
I enjoy calm people... Those who love life and with whom I can share a beer... And meet people to create a great atmosphere—la dolce vita....
Hi everyone,
I’m a 67-year-old woman who loves to travel, and for my third solo trip, I’ve decided to explore Indonesia.
I’ll be there from September 1st to October 5th, and I’m really struggling to plan my itinerary.
I’d love any advice you can share—I’ll read it all carefully.
So far, I’ve booked my first two nights with a local host in Jakarta, and then I’m heading to Borobudur. That’s all I’ve got planned for now.
Do you think I should book accommodations and transport tickets in advance? It seems really complicated, or could I just decide day by day based on how I feel?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Hi everyone,
I’m planning a solo trip to Mongolia this summer, without an agency. However, I’d like to have a guide accompany me for certain parts of my journey.
From my research, I understand that most "activities," accommodations, and transportation are best arranged day by day, depending on opportunities and encounters. Without an agency, everything is organized on the spot.
I’d love to hear more opinions on this, especially regarding the Orkhon Valley.
Here’s the itinerary I’m planning:
* UB -> Mörön (flight) -> Khatgal (local buses)
A few days at Lake Khövsgöl
* Khatgal -> Mörön -> Jargalant -> Tariat (local buses)
A few days at the White Lakes
* White Lakes -> Tsetserleg -> Kharkhorin (4x4 with driver)
A few days in the Orkhon Valley
+ the Eight Lakes (horseback trekking with a guide)
* Return to UB
From what I’ve gathered, the first part should be fairly straightforward, but I have questions about the Orkhon Valley.
Here are my questions:
-> Tsetserleg to Kharkhorin route:
Have any of you made this trip by booking a driver on the spot when arriving in Tsetserleg? Was it easy to find an available driver? And did you find it easy/difficult/impossible to find other travelers to share the ride with? Ideally, I’d like to share this leg with fellow travelers.
-> The Eight Lakes: Could you share your experience with the Eight Lakes? Did you easily find a guide directly on site? Were you able to share this experience with other travelers?
Last question for women who’ve traveled solo in Mongolia:
-> How did you experience it? Do you have any specific tips or recommendations?
I’m considering a road trip (rental car) to explore the Canadian Rockies in September 2026, starting in Calgary and ending with about 10 days in Vancouver and the surrounding area. (Two weeks in the Rockies and a little under two weeks in Vancouver and nearby.)
I’d like to say that being a woman traveling alone doesn’t really bother me. That’s not the issue. Being a woman is just how it is, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon, but traveling solo is something I could fix by finding travel companions. However, I had a not-so-great experience in India with two girls who were total strangers at first and turned out to be quite annoying, so I’m a bit put off by the idea now.
My question is simple, assuming I do this trip alone: is it worth sticking *only* to driving? I have **zero** sense of direction—with a map, I’m hopeless. So, is it realistic to think, "With my GPS, I’ll just drive from Calgary to Vancouver and see what I see," since I don’t see myself hiking alone? I’m not easily scared, but I wouldn’t feel confident doing that solo. Unless all the sightseeing is done with a guide (but then, hello, the cost—my budget isn’t exactly overflowing).
What do you all think?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Take care and happy travels.
Cheers,
Régine
Hi,
After a week of sports south of Bergen, I’m not sure what to visit during the following week between Bergen and Oslo.
I haven’t planned to rent a car.
I’d love your suggestions. Thanks
Hi everyone, I’m really keen to visit Iran for three weeks in mid-March 2015.
What worries me a bit isn’t so much traveling alone—I’m used to it and know the Middle East well—but rather the current events (Islamic State) that could potentially become dangerous.
Flights are pretty cheap at the moment, and I’d like to book before prices go up.
Any advice from people who know the ground situation and Iranian current affairs better than I do would be much appreciated! :)
Hi there! I’m in the middle of planning my first solo trip (as a woman). Do you have any ideal destinations with activities like hiking, diving, sightseeing, and easy ways to meet locals—all on a small budget?
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s had this experience before! :)
Hi there,
Who could recommend a reliable agency for visiting several islands, including the parks around Komodo? I’m traveling solo as a woman.
Thanks for your great tips!
Hi everyone,
I’m often in transit in Tokyo and I stay at the hotel because Japanese people speak little English and the signs are almost always in Japanese!
Any ideas for getting from Narita to a nice park or an onsen? I wanted to try Hokkaido, but apart from renting a car, it’s all trains! Any suggestions for a car with a driver? Or is it too expensive? Small group tours in Hokkaido? I read about the Explorator group’s offer—way too expensive!!!
I’ve got a maximum of 8 days. I’d just like a nice Japanese break.
Thanks for any tips you can share!
my friend, with whom I traveled to Iran, Myanmar, and India, really wanted to take a one-month trip to Armenia and Georgia. So we booked our flights (June 21 to July 19), but disaster struck—she can’t travel anymore due to serious family reasons.
Now I’m heading off on this adventure alone. It’s not that I’ve never traveled solo before—I spent three months exploring Southeast Asia by myself last year—but I still have a few questions, and I’d really appreciate your input.
* I don’t think traveling alone in these countries is very risky—what do you think?
* Maybe I could hire a driver? What would that cost, since some places seem tricky to reach by public transport. Do you have any driver recommendations?
* I don’t want to rent a car—the driving seems too unpredictable, especially in Georgia.
* I’d love to do some nice hikes—are there any guides available?
Here’s my rough itinerary:
YEREVAN and surroundings
YEGHEGNADZOR for Noravank
GORIS and TATEV
LAKE SEVAN
DILIJAN
HAGHPAT
TBILISI and surroundings
The CAUCASUS toward Mestia
UPLISTSIKHE
VARDZIA
Return to Yerevan for my flight
Thanks to anyone who can share their experiences or answer my questions!
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a few tips that really helped me better prepare my carry-on luggage. After a few trips (and some mistakes too!), I’ve finally found a way to organize myself that makes life a lot easier. Maybe this can help other travelers here.
1. Choose a practical and sturdy bag
A good bag is the foundation. I’ve noticed that a model with a solid structure, sturdy wheels, and a well-thought-out interior really changes the experience. Hard-shell suitcases hold up better, especially when you’re hopping between flights. Personally, I use a Lambert suitcase because the interior is super well-divided, but the important thing is to find a model that works for you.
2. Rolling your clothes really works
It’s simple, but it saves so much space. Plus, it wrinkles less. I do this now for almost everything, especially lightweight clothes.
3. Keep everything in a small kit
100 ml liquids, toothbrush, cream, mini first-aid kit… Having all of that in one clear toiletry bag makes going through security much easier. It saves you from having to take everything out and put it back in a rush.
4. A pouch for essentials
Passport, headphones, charger, phone… I keep all of that in the same pouch. It saves so much stress when you need to find something quickly, especially on the plane.
5. Traveling lighter makes all the difference
Since I started choosing versatile clothes that mix and match well, I travel with a lot less. Less weight, fewer decisions to make, fewer things to lug around. It honestly makes traveling so much more enjoyable.
From the conversations I’ve had with other travelers (and several customers too), I’ve realized you can really simplify your trip just by organizing a little better and choosing good accessories.
If you have other tips or methods that work for you, I’d love to read them. We always learn from others on this forum.
Looking forward to exchanging with you all!
Hi,
Has anyone recently taken the boat to Casamance from Dakar and could share their experience?
From France, is it possible to book online, or do you need to go through an agency? How far in advance?
Boarding/disembarking: how does it work? Do we have to check in our luggage and then pick it up on arrival?
What’s the vibe like on the boat in the seating area?
Has anyone ever stopped over in Carabane? Accommodation options there?
Thanks so much if you have any recent info!
Exploring India by road is all about having a good driver. I highly recommend the one I’ve traveled with for 5 "safe" trips—Rajasthan 3 times over 16 years, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, and Punjab. He’s been driving tourists for 25 years now and is more than just a driver. He knows how to talk about his country, the cities you visit, and suggests alternative routes.
He’s well-connected with real local guides who don’t just ramble (as he puts it himself) or drag you into shops claiming to be run by their "so-called family." Depending on your preferences, he can suggest well-tested itineraries and recommend typical hotels like Havelis.
For dining, he oversees meal prep based on your spice-level preferences. He’s Sikh and deeply respectful of his passengers.
He speaks English better than French, but one of his daughters is studying French at university.
Hi,
We’d like to spend about twenty days in Albania next July. We’re two women traveling together and we’re thinking of renting a small car. Does that sound reasonable, or should we avoid it?
Thanks for your advice.
Hi there,
I’m spending a week in Morocco (Rabat - Meknes - Fes).
I’ll be traveling solo—is it safe for a woman over 60?
For transportation, I’m planning to take the train. I was thinking of buying my ticket last minute, but it’s around the end-of-year period…?
I’ll be in Meknes on December 31st—any suggestions on how they celebrate New Year’s Eve there?
Is anyone visiting these destinations? Maybe we could meet up…?
Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
After hearing so much about Djerba, especially the GO clubs, is it risky for a young, pretty newly-retired woman to visit the island alone?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Does anyone know how late the buses run from Cusco Airport to the city center? I land at 9:30 PM, plus time to clear customs, pick up my luggage, and exchange some money—figure an extra 30 to 45 minutes. Though, come to think of it, I still have 5 sols from last time—maybe that’ll be enough for the bus?
Thanks.
Brigitte
Planned arrival on Sunday evening, November 16, 2025, in San José. Staying 3 nights, then taking a bus to Tortuguero for 2 nights. Looking for a shared shuttle to La Fortuna for 2 nights, then a van-boat-van combo to Santa Elena for 2 or 3 nights. Heading to Quepos for 4 nights for day trips using local buses—Jaco, San Antonio, Uvita. After that, a full-day bus ride to Cahuita. I’m booking hotels as I go, which gives me the flexibility to stay longer in places I like. I’m looking for accommodations in city centers near restaurants and not too far from the bus station. Budget: 50 € for a room with a private bathroom (if you’ve got any great tips!). For my finale, I’ll cross the land border to Panama City for 4 days. Thanks for your suggestions! 😉
As I mentioned before, I’m heading to Istanbul next summer, and I’ve heard there have been quite a few attacks by Kurds in Turkey recently, which is making me hesitate about my trip.
What do you all think? :( I’m wondering if it’s really a good idea to go...
Hi everyone,
I’m 66 and just discovered solo travel in Uzbekistan—I loved it! So I’ve decided to explore Africa, starting with Senegal. I’m just beginning my research, but if anyone can give me advice on which month to go, what to see, and whether this destination is safe—or maybe suggest another African country—I’d really appreciate your tips!
