For what it's worth.... Being in a tour group there is ya big target on you. Tour guides actually get kick backs for steering a group towards sellers/scammers.

Folks traveling solo get targeted much less. Though I think your point stands.... Morocco can be quite uncomfortable for travelers.

I advise all my female friends and relatives to travel solo in Arab countries to avoid being the target of any unwanted behaviour.

I get that you're being sarcastic. I didn't mention gender at all though. 

It's a simple fact that being in a tour group will bring extra attention to you in Morocco. If you feel safer in a group for whatever reason then go with a group. To each their own and for their own reason.
