Are muslim countries safe for single women? |
Travel Info I mean, I would like to travel to Morocco or Tunisia, maybe to Egypt, are those countries safe for single women? Travel Tips Are you really Muslim or is this a joke? As your Muslimsister I would say Fear Allah and travel with a male relative, such as your father or brother. It is not good for a single woman to travel alone anywhere in this dunya. Others I can't believe this was chosen as the best answer. These countries are safe, and it's fine to travel alone if you choose to do so. You're not going to be kidnapped into a harem or anything ridiculous like that. You'll probably have a fantastic experience if you have an open mind. what do you mean safe? there is nowhere safe now.i mean i dont know where you are come from but even in you country not safe to. you should know where you going and meet the right ppl, and if you thing there is no safe you will never go out of you bedroom,put it in that way driving not safe riding a bike not safe catch airplan not safe, and to go to diferent contry you should fly by airplan and do you thing that safe to. be positive and smart good luck. my dear, as per my knowledge almost all the muslim countries are safe for a single women not only to travel through but to stay as well as live in there, coz mind it muslims, in their religion have strict instructions to respect the ladies. even at work u get environment that u n-joy to work. and yet u have ne problem or so u could directly check with the gov. officials that u have problem in this matter with this person or so................. once again as per my knowledge i could assure u tht it is very much safe. ya, safe countries, but try not to be against their behavior or culture. ex. don't walk naked on streets , don't say bad words abt their religion and believes. Just respect them and they will make you their Queen. They are very kind people I am an American woman and I've travelled alone in several muslim countries, including Tunisia, without problem. Most of the people respect you -- the religion certainly has provisions about how to treat a female appropriately so you're treated well. These countries also put a lot of importance in hospitality and how to treat a guest -- male or female -- so you will also be surprised at how friendly people will be for you. I think they actually go more out of their way when you're alone. You'll probably receive several questions about why you're travelling alone, do you have a husband, etc? but that's more out of curiosity than pressure...I did always have a prepared lie if I needed it (I had a husband but he couldn't get off work to travel with me...) That said, there my be some jerks who want to hassle you, usually teenage boys (it happened to me on a bus in Turkey...if that happens, look for the nearest female (older ones are best) and they will usually tell the guys to behave. Of course, you need common sense: you'll be travelling to a country where English isn't your first language, you won't be familiar with the city, etc., so you could easily get tricked into paying more at the souk, getting ripped off by a taxi, etc. -- these happen to naive tourists the world over...not just to a single woman in a muslim country. Just be polite and respect their religion and they will respect you back. |
