Being a stranger in a strange land is one of the greatest adventures in life. So much more interesting than having everything spoon fed to you by an English speaking tour guide. I love your willingness to get outside of your comfort zone and experience the culture.
I love this style of just story time recap of the days events! Lol. And I especially loved Kara saying "nekkid," definitely a southern thing.
If someone is naked, they don't have any clothes on.... if someone is nekkid, they don't have any clothes on and they're up to no good! 😂😂😂
leslieelsie Ikr 🙊😄🙈😄
Yup
As a moroccan, the hammam story was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
I actually REALLY liked hearing the story! Y’all’s enthusiasm is contagious
Hahahahaha the Hammam story is so freaking funny , i'm Moroccan i go to Hammam like once a month to change my skin like a snake
HAMEL But you do scrub weekly tho? I can't go a week without scrubing my skin, I'd feel 10 pounds heavier ..
Hahahaha no not weekly , just once a month enough i think , beside that i take normal showers :)
Once a month ? !!! lol Rak mousekh asa7bi HHHHHHHHHH
Helter Skelter hahaha ghani nakhod shower fdar :)
i go to hamman once a year
Not to just repeat what others have commented, but after watching every vlog to this point and loving the visuals, etc., watching the two of you describe the Hammam experience was just the best! I like seeing everything, but hearing you share the story was wonderful.
The stories at the end are brilliant!

I rewatch this video at least once every three months, and laugh every time, especially at the way Nate says The Glove with such reverent horror, and at Kara's "So i held my hair... for a long time" xD
I keep wondering, what did she do with her hair....the suspense 🤔🤔
That fruit is a persimmon. We have them in the United States too.
I was going to say the same thing! My local farmers market sells different varieties too
Stewart Perkins yes persimmons are all over California.
It is a different variety but it is a persimmon, I did not know you could juice it though. I hate eating them, made my tongue feels like it has fur on it. Mostly we feed it to horses, they really love it.
Oh, Wow! That was quite the experience!
Garry Cole they do that if they're not ripe enough, so in my experience they're best eaten when overly ripe.
I'm from Morocco 🇲🇦 welcome to Morocco ❤
Hahaha it is hilarious to know about you guys's perspective, I am glad you guys enjoyed the hammam. The reasons those girls were telling you not to start scrubbing is because you're supposed to let the soap soak into your skin to soften it before you start getting rid of all the dead skin.
But if it is as u say so isnt it actually the soap comming of of your skin for the greater part?
@@henidakesian4213 no the soap is washed off before you start scrubbing your skin with the glove. The soap is moroccan olive Black Soap. It's an emollient and it softens the dead layers of your skin preparing them for a swiftly goodbye.
The reason why the girls were going bananas saying no to her was because you're not supposed to put soap on the glove. It ruins the exfoliating properties of it by damaging its fibers.
But yeah, we go once a week, we shower in between hammams, ans we practice this since we are born and until the day we die.
Hahahh Kara's joy for food is the best thing ever. Also reliving the bath experience at the end was soo funny hahah
Wow it’s been more than 5 years already , I was living in Morocco back then . I moved to California since last year and I miss Hammam :)
I loved the story at the end! You two are such a cute couple. It’s adorable the way Nate looks at Kara while she’s telling her story. And also I love how you say naked (“nekkid”)!
As far as I can tell, that fruit at about 1:10 is a type of persimmon and definitely not just in Morocco. (Maybe that particular variety of persimmon?) I had persimmons first in Toronto and the Koreans make a fantastic punch with cinnamon, persimmons and other ingredients. P.S. Thank you for giving us the FULL rundown about the Moroccan Hammam bath! I love bathing/spa culture from around the world and I've done the hot springs in Baden Baden, Germany and a Korean spa/jjimjilbang in Queens NYC & DC (including the scrub where, yes, you get the same skin sloughing experience!) and a Russian banya in Brooklyn NYC. The Hammam is the one I haven't had the chance to do yet (along with an onsen/sento) so your play-by-play report was most welcomed!
Yup, that is a persimmon and is commonplace in the US too.
Wow you guys seem like completely new people back in Africa. Asia & Africa is just your vibe. I love how you embrace the different cultures and chaos without fear.
I watched all the way through because we are in Turkey right now and I'd like to go to a Turkish bath but am a little nervous about it:) lol It sounds very similar. Im glad you had the experience and I enjoyed hearing both sides. -Ash
As a pure Moroccan, I love hearing foreigners describing their own hamam experience
Is it supposed to be how they described it?? That sounds VERY uncomfortable!
@@Matt_Hatt3ryou have to use a lot of savon to not feel the pain
Nate with the hair washing and Kara just brushing it off… hahah I think nates love language is a head massage. 😂
Great stories at the end! The look on both your faces is priceless!
I'm Moroccan. Kara you described it so well i laughed so hard i cried HAHAHAHAHAH
Pls tell me what was that red soapy powder that kara put on her body before exfoliation pls thanx
Was it the well known morrocan red clay?
@@henidakesian4213 no it was moroccan beldi soap
@@othmanbk5252 why did she put the soap before the glove peeling normaly it is done after to perfumize the body or maybe it helps for better exfoliation when its used before?
@@henidakesian4213 yes it softens the skin , making the peeling process smoother , plus that what she left her in the steam room that long , steam plus beldi soap makes dead skin shed easily
@@othmanbk5252 but what she says in the video is that the lady threw a reddish kind of powder in a package to her and what you tell me is an actual soap i just dont know what exactly it is so i would know where to buy it from
I was actually searching how to behave in a moroccan spa and found this video.... Thank you for explaining the proccess, but I think I would be Just like you with no clue what to expect:)
This was almost two years ago, but I just started watching you recently and am working my way through, I watched all the way to the end. Love your stories at the end. I had to laugh. When you do this sort of thing your vlogs are at their best. I like this stuff so much more than the super luxurious things you get to do.
G and I are laughing so much -- thanks for the "live" debrief of the hammam experience!! You two are too much!
I am Morocco 🇲🇦 and all what you said is soo funny I laughed a lot 😂😂😂 the grouse browen thing name (sabon lbaldi) you know I really like your UA-cam channel I loved it 😍
That was one of the more entertaining episodes, yet so informative! What an event!
I can't believe how gutsy you guys are to enter an activity, like these baths, when you didn't know the language! You survived it though and have more funny memories for it, good for you!
watched it till the end and lold! seeing all this culture is beeeautiful, Morocco is one of my favourite countries!
Funny hammam story :) growing up there it was a weekly ritual . You guys have the perfect attitude towards the whole thing ( locals, experience, senses). The world needs more ppl like you .
Quixotico 😂😂🙌
As a Moroccan, I found Kara's story hilarious!
We Moroccans have a bathroom in the house, but public bathroom makes us feel comfortable and relaxed .That's why we prefer it.
I love your vlogs. I totally stayed until the end. I found you guys and went back now watching all of your older vlogs. I feel like I am watching what my kids would do.
Love the bath story my favorite part was knowing that I'm not the only one who says NEKED NAKED I'm originally from NC but moved to TN I've been here since I was 14 I'm currently 31
This is my favorite! I have shown this video to, like, four different people today. The story time about the baths makes me laugh every time!
Hahaha... I LOVED story time! You guys should do that more often. I loved seeing you discover things like that together. Your interaction was perfect. 😂😂😂
One of my fave K&N videos now! They were nekkid. 🤣 I love you two!
In October 2019, I went to Morocco and did the Hammam bath as well. Thanks to your video, I made certain to have that experience. I had it done in Rabat and in Marrakech. It was a very good experience. I, too, had that awkward experience when the attendant would start a job and then leave and return to do more. I never understood it, but felt the attendant did not want to be in the hot steamy room while my body absorb the experience between washes. It was worth the experience and it was very cheap; $40.
This is amazing! I couldn't imagine that. So amazed by your bravery!
I’m CRACKING UP at Kara holding her own hair 😂😂😂 omfg I oddly want to experience this 😂 but am so scared haha
2020! been watching all your vlogs from the beginning and this one is hilarious! Kara you look lovely in the hijab ❤️
You guys say "nekkid" so funny. I love it. xD
I love how you guys tell your hammam bath experience, it was so funny how you guys delivered it...its hilarious....
waiting to meet my KARA(girl like you) of my life ! I'm so happy for you guys ! big super fan of your vlogs
This might be my new favorite vlog of y'all!
Haha! You're Hammam story is so funny 😂😂😂, they didn't go easy on you! I am Moroccan and it reminds me when my grandmother took me it was a hole different experience than when I was going with my mother. It was similar to yours. I remember, after finally coming home alive, sitting down and telling everyone how horrible it was 😂😂😂.
Cara I want you to tell all the stories from now on. That was HILARIOUS!!
Awesome vid and awesome story guys. Love these Morocco vids!!!
Haha! Your bath experience is similar to a Korean bath scrub that I've had in the US. Not a stitch of clothing but you get to lie down on a padded table - so much more comfortable. I love it!
How lovely that those other ladies were so helpful to Kara, despite the language barrier.
I am such a big fan of what you do! I just wanted to share the fact that I currently live in Ankara, Turkey and it is my third and last year here. The fruit that you tried to pronounce at the beginning of the video looks exactly like a fruit that we have here in Turkey. Also, I don't know if you have been to Poland, but (I'm part of 3 nationalities (polish, American, Lithuanian) personally I think the best time to go there is in the wintertime. This is because in the capital city named Warsaw, there is the old town *or near the old town (wilanów), and around that area, there are all these different lights. Also next to the palace or culture there is a garden where there is a lights show. I think you guys would really like this.
*sorry if you didn't really understand (my English isn't that good and I'm 16 right now and have lived in the USA for less than 6 years in my whole life)
Kara and Nate, you guys are really good at storytelling. Especially Kara. She made me laugh.
It might hurt the first time or times but this is very good for skin. It‘s like cleaning sth purely or detox for your body. The stuff on your skin gets away so that it‘s free of oil, dirty things and other things on the skin, that aren‘t good. After you feel like new born and SO clean and the skin is so smooth and soft
It feels so weird seeing someone experience my culture for the first time but it was funny and entertaining to watch you do something that is a weekly habit for us here hhh
Pre-Covid, the communal Korean spa grottos were my JAM! I never paid the extra money for the massages and exfoliation because of the US prices are insanely high, but for $25, just outside of Koreatown, I would spend ALL day in those baths, naked as a jaybird with a bunch of other women...and I LOVED it!!!
Thanks for the Hammam experience breakdown! I'm headed out for my first experience in Morocco in a few hours!
Hahah good luck! Make sure you stick around for the massage!
Sharon fruits is insanely good. One of the very best. marraccesh is really beautiful. So vibrant full of life. Color texture and scents. Bahia was gorgeous. The tombs! The arcitecture is to die for.
Definitely still watching! Felt like I was there with your description! Safe travels am still trying to catch up to you in 2019 but am enjoying the process....
Ths story of the "bath" literally had me laughing out loud! 😄👍
🍀In steam room you can change your form through 30 minute..Moroccan Hammam is magic
I think this is my favorite storytime!! Also I died every time Kara said naked 😂
im moroccan
and owwww kara When u started telling him about ur experience in hamam I started laughing like a crazy hhhhhh
That sounded like quite the exfoliate treatment, nice that the locals kinda helped when the main lady kept leaving
Lol!!! You guys....your explanation was so funny 😂!!! I recently had a Turkish bath and it was INCREDIBLE! I'm definitely doing that more often.
OF COURSE IM STILL WATCHING 😅 I LOVE you guys! Idk how many people I’ve talked to about your channel this week alone.. I lost track 😅
I have to say, the bath stories are the funniest parts of any of your videos 😅😅
I was happy when she called the persimmon "like a tomato". the first time I was living on my own I bought these tomatoes and put them in the sun to ripen. many days later I say to my roommate - why are these tomatoes still hard??? she laughed so hard she cried. turns out she had seen them before in LA, but I had never seen them in Canada (in the 70s). now they are my favorite fruit!
Our neighbor where I grew up had a persimmon tree. We always got plenty.
Hi you pair.... I never usually comment on videos but this one seriously got me giggling!!!!
I LOVE YOU TWO👍🏼❤️
Recently started watching your channel and decided to watch from the beginning and this has been my favorite episode so far. Loved the story time at the end too! Lol.
Your hammam experience was soooo funny! Thanks for the laugh. I would have died.
That bath experience couldn't have been any more authentic. I'm sure you will remember it for many years to come.
Fantastic. I just found you and now I’m hooked ! Lol it great for those who cannot travel to see these places THANK YOU
I watched it all! This was very interesting, thank you for sharing your experience.
Your story was so funny! Cracked me up 😂
Love watching all the vlogs! Keep up the good work :-)
Kara, the part when the lady leaves, its done in order to allow your skin to warm and soften up before the scrubbing. So you warm up first, then apply the black soapy thing, then warm up again, then the scrubbing.
I watched until the end... Nate is so cute sometimes 😂😂
that story was hilarious. You guys both looked so violated. I love your vlogs, travelling to Mauritius because of you two !!!!
She's a great story teller!
The story at the end was everything..
Thanks for sharing this experience and vlog y'all never disappoint 😊BIG HUGS FROM IDAHO
“So I held my hair for a long time” HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA THE STORY TIME HAD ME DYING
Nates expression during the bath story is amusing for some reason.
Luke Schaefer 😂😃😄😅😉😆as a Moroccan girl I find it so funny their bath story it's so natural for us to go to a traditional bath it's so healthy because asteambath you get rid of dead skin =dirt and you fee ur body respire
I guess for an American guy, the touchings and naked people in the hammam must have been traumatizing lol
I got a hammam a couple of days ago in Marrakech and did no research prior. And when i tell you I was shocked.. I was SHOCKED!
"THE GLOVE" that should be a horror movie 😂
You are tearing me apart Lisa HAHA SOOO FUNNY BUT TRUE
OMG this brought back so many memories! My daddy and I had a similar experience in the Turkish Baths many years ago in Marmaris only it was all male attendants and my daddy was super paranoid cause I was only like 14 at the time lol will never forget that damn glove til my dying day! :D
Thanks Moroccans for explaining the story in more detail :)
I always watch to the end to see if there are any Kara bloopers.
That was crazy! Haha also you guys should get a. Sunset compilation at the end of this year and each sunset would have the name of the country.
I LOVE Marrakesh. Your blog is great...it brought that whole experience back to me. I hope I can get there one more time. I remember story tellers, acrobats, snake charmers...just so many different entertainments. It is so fascinating and endlessly different. I hope you guys also go to Fez. And if you get there you must visit the tannery. It is an experience you will never forget.
Also try to get on a tour or bus out into the desert. It's incredible how what seems to be a desolate place is filled with people who are invisible to you until the bus stops and they appear seemingly out of nowhere.
Thank you for the memories.
Diana Pasley hello again and l'm from fez 😉
I was still watching and WOW. What an expirience. I hope I can get expiriences like you guys do!
I love those cactus fruit ! My mom grew up eating them in Mexico and they also sell them in the states ! I know them in Spanish as "tuna" and they are delicious except those seeds lol
the seeds you arent supposed to chew them tho , you just swallow them :d
Bonita Gabe He's a spiny fig and a delicatessen of cuisine in Morocco you will not find the finest ones and the ones from them
Some regions of mexico call them Pitaya, they are also eaten in Italy , I like them too.
Yes I watched all the way through the story and I loved it😂😂 you guys have the best adventures
the best hammam I have ever been to was in Casablanca, I think I am still clean after 2 years already.
Harry Cohen hahaha 😂😂hello again
هههههههههههههههه
🙄😂
Definitely still around at the 12 minute mark! You two are very endearing storytellers and I could picture the experience even without the aid of video!
I watched until the end. It was fascinating. Another great video ❤
Watched until the end. Super fun experience :)
I love that you put, comment below if you’re still watching. If you don’t watch to the end you might miss something!
I did my first moroccan bath in souk el arbaa (because my bestfriend lives there) and yes! Hahahaha same feeling..it was awkward maybe for the 1st 5mins but later on it gets exciting, the scrubbing here and there (which hurt my little chest creatures so much!). Hahaha nice experience though. My bestfriend was explaining also while doing the moroccan bath. The brown jelly is an olive soap i guess.
I always watch to the end for any bloopers or extras 😊
"I held my hair, for like a long time" lol. I love your videos. I like how you bring us along just wish I could really take these trips
Ya'lls open-mindedness is what makes this work. 🥰
Love the story time, you guys are hilarious
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONEST EXPERIENCE
