Marrakech is perfectly safe, just use common sense as you would when visiting any foreign country, especially a busy city. It is an amazing place to visit and you will have a great time. Marrakech is a tourist place, they are used to visitors from all over the world. When buying anything you can get at least 50% off the asking price, this is common practice.
Obviously Arabic and French are the languages but many people do understand English.
Yes, there are people trying to sell you things and also beggars, as long as you are polite but firm they will leave you alone.
Morocco in general is a great country.

Yes, as it is a very busy tourist country. Many people from around the world come to visit here. You don't have to worry about extremist or anything of that sort because although Morocco is a Muslim country, it has its percentage of Jewish and Christians. They all live together peacefully. Marrakesh is a popular tourist city. For the most, you'll be welcomed with the utmost hospitality(if staying in a hotel). Use your French if you know any. Arabic our main language. You will find some English speakers. Use your same smarts as you would any foreign country. You may be approached by begars. This is common. Don't worry, you shouldn't stick out like a "sore thumb."

India is achieveable-free position, extremely once you're a guy. The proximity of India and Pakistan, Afghanistan isn't a lot regardless of the indisputable fact that the individuals and governments of those international places are exceptionally petrified of India. India, via far, is way better stepped ahead and sensible than those international places so there is not any probability of them harming India, at-least not for the present. What media shows you, and what people inform you is in hardship-free words one part of the coin. get jointly, interesting and frolic are all-timers in India, you purely decide on to understand the right people for that. As a vacationer, there's a lot to confirm, and also you may word there are quite a number of different foreigners too. A hill station ought to continuously be better safer than a metropolitan city, yet even on that element, Delhi is exceptionally possibility-free, a lot safer than Mumbai, i ought to say. you'll hit upon the airport and major public marks in Delhi are heavily guarded lately. Have achieveable-free journey, Bon Voyage!

Morocco is a fascinating, beautiful and safe country to visit. However, on the negative side. I don't think I've ever been hustled or hassled as much as when I was there.

Oh yes, it is safe but the problem is the language : almost everybody speaks French but very very few people can understand English. Beware of the taxi drivers and please bargain. Whatever the prices are at the souvenir shops, please give one fourth or third of the price. They think we (the tourists) are like walking ATM :))...
Please go and enjoy the cities. Marakesh is different from the other coastal cities such as Kazablanca. It has retained its local color...
Enjoy your trip if you ever go.
best,
