Your sons are so lucky, they will remember all of this for the rest of their lives long after we are gone from this world. You have given them a great foundation of this world.
I was thinking the same thing. When they’re older they are going to be so thankful that they got to see so much of the world with their parents. I didn’t travel out of country like them, but my mom was a single mom. My grandfather her dad always made sure we went on family vacations, and I’ll think fondly of them. Eventually my mom got her masters though, and she paid for the trips. My grandpa was the definition of a greatman. Fun fact is he was speaker of the house for Florida in the 70s. I hope he’s enjoying paradise with my grandmother. (T. Terrell Sessums)

As someone who lived in Morocco for the better part of 2020, I'd say this is pretty spot on! I really enjoyed watching this. I miss Morocco so much and can't wait to get back. Also, I like to WesternUnion myself money to the next country I'm traveling to. The exchange rate is usually pretty decent, they're are everywhere and you can get a larger sum of money to avoid all the ATM fees. And if you want to really enhance your medina experience, learning a bit of Darija (Moroccan Arabic) never hurts!
Thank you and that is an awesome way to beat exchange rates with Western Union. I am going to have to use that. Cheers!
Hey Terry! Happy you're doing great. I'm also glad the flame of Morocco is still burning in your heart. Hope to see you again here.
@@audioartistic Heyyy!! It definitely is and you certainly will...mab9a welo 5oya!

We enjoyed your journey here in Morocco via your vlogs.
For anyone wondering about what Mark was referring to here at 15:57 in regards to some local shops preferring not to be photographed, here’s a quick snapshot of what he’s exactly talking about 2:42 🤗
I went to Morocco about 35 years ago as a teenager with my mom and older sister. First week was a guided bus tour through Marrakesh, Rabat, Meknes, and Fez from what I remember. Week two was spent in Agadir at the beach. Definitely culture shock to an American teenager who hadn't much travel experience. Cous cous was at what seemed like every meal. Mint tea was delicious, but my favorite was the fresh baked petit rolls. All the things you said are exactly true. Especially about the people being friendly and laid back. My niece lived there for a couple years without incident, teaching English maybe five years ago.
you are welcomed to come back here to see the big change that happened in the country, cheers
The country has changed since 35 years. It may be a different experience if you go back. And the cuisine options have definitely expanded since.
@ale. jandro I hope you enjoy it again when you go back! Especially because morocco is launching projects that will modernize the country in the upcoming decade!
🤙🤙🤙🤙
Hopefully you get to visit it one more time.
This is so informative and easy to follow..you covered everything straight to the point!thank you
Awesome video ! Thank you !
Thank you. This was very informative!👍🏽❤️
Always good to know some basic words of any country's primary language(s). It is very much appeciated that you show you are making an effort.
I can teach you some basic words in of Tamazight and Arabic language that you will actually need if you come to Morocco 🤝🤝
WOW, great video!! You covered so much, thank you soooo much! Much love xo
Great tips! Thank you!
Glad to hear this about my country, you are welcome ❤❤
I was there this week and I love it beautiful country with welcoming people
Great advice, thank you
Missed watching your vids. So happy I came across one again
Great video Aaron! one of my favorite places is Tinghir. It's a small town with a long valley with lovely Lush palm trees and people.
Great info. Thanks
Thanks so much for a ton of info
Thank you I’m going tomorrow and this helps a lot
Morocco is a very nice country to visit, don't be afraid at all we treat tourists in a very good way we have all the cultures here in Morocco.... for the language is very easy to communicate we speak French, English, Spanish, German..... and you will never forget the Moroccan food and the weather.... you will make a lot of friends.... ❤❤❤
Question: Is Morocco safe for solo travelers?
@@andrewnguyen6644 well like every country of course you have to pay attention, but generally it's safe, for example Marrakech it's a touristic city so they are used to meet tourists and live with them. Fes also, Tanger ...... 😊
Thanks for the info! How’s the covid situation over there right now? And any restrictions?
@@andrewnguyen6644 the situation now is okay, we still have lock down until 23:00, we are from the first countries that we have a big number of people doing vaccin.... everything is available....
🤙🤙🤙
Great video. TY
thank you
So clutch. Going to Morocco in a few days. I always go this channel before I travel
Morocco looks amazing! Thank you!
You are most welcome in Morocco if you're coming 🤝🤝
Very helpful thank you!
Thank you! Going there next week for my first time.
You are welcome anytime
Gotta travel somewhere? Wolters World. Thanks man, once again!
Thank you for information sir 👍
Very informative!
Thank you. Useful and up-to-date. My French is adequate, but Arabic basic and rusty, and I've only heard the Darija widely used in Morocco on youtube. Hope to take the trip planned for March 2020 in March 2022.
Thank you for your honest feedback, unlike other tourists/vloggers, you did your homework before talking about Morocco, which is amazing, I appreciate it.
Respect!
Thank you so much!
He is so pleasant to listen to! I feel safe about going just by listening to him :)
If you're going alone, try focusing on big cities that have many tourists and also police of tourists. The best suggestions are: Rabat, Salé, Marakkesh, Agadir, northen cities and saharian cities. And avoid walking in small and empty neighborhoods.
as a Moroccan I can confirm what you said about us refusing being photographed. Yeah. we don't like it when a tourist tries to take you a picture. It's fully understandable that it's normal in their countries may be, but in Morocco it's not. Other than this, we are friendly and welcoming.
it is amazing
i hope that you spent a good journey with your family
salam from France
spot on!
From TRINIDAD&TOBAGO in the CARIBBEAN I am going there for the new year thanks for the heads up
Top thanks 🇲🇦👍👍
just saw your video... congrats... pretty good thanks
That s really Greath and positive about Morocco . People Are verry friendly to helt you ifølge you ask Them.
I think it would be cool if u went to different state main attractions and spending a day with the ppl who run the places , would be a cool idea for a few episodes maybe because you’re content is soo good !!!
It's February 24, 2024 and I'm on my watto Morocco and I'm so excited!! Thank you for this vid.
How was your trip? I will be leaving for morocco in two weeks.
I'm going to Morocco in July and this has been so helpful. I have a friend in Casablanca so he can do the haggling for me. I'm not a haggler. Thank you for this video. You have answered most of my questions. 😁
Nice!! Same here. Just going for 5 days though. After watching all these Morocco videos, I’m wishing I could stay longer. That is awesome you have a local friend. That’s really gonna help. Wish I knew someone there. 5 days in Casablanca, 5 days in Addis Abeba Ethiopia and 1 week in Mombasa Kenya.
@@AgeelShatry there are hotels with guides they can guide u in every city u go.. if planing to come to Agadir city i will show everything in the city and i will teach u how to surf some waves
Hey guys, you are more than welcome in my home country Morocco, i hope u come and visit one day.
We definitely want to visit Morocco someday!
Asalam alaykum I'd love to come, InshAllah
@@SarahandMarek we hope that you welcome
If we visit, can we leave with our heads? How common are the beheadings?
@@CAARaeed Morocco is one of the safest countries in Africa, you have to know that in more than 11 years only 2 terrorist attacks with 19 deaths I know that these are people and not numbers but compared to other countries Morocco is way safer than many other countries including european ones, and the incident you are talking about was performed by ISIS members and does NOT reflect Moroccan people at all.
We loved it in Marrakech, we just made a video of our time there
Thank you for this video, it was very informative!
You have captured the essence of Morocco! All true!
I have been to Morocco 🇲🇦 5 times and for months at a time.
I love it! 🥰
Welcome everytime
So what's your opinion about moroccan poeple?
@@abdoeducate3376 Everyone I met was wonderful to me. Welcoming and cooking the most delicious meals! People were kind, good humored, hard working and very clean habits. The clothing is beautiful and ornate. I like “zwack” lots of adornments on fabric. 💖
@@lindazehnbauer5406how did you deal with seeing the animal cruelty may I ask? It’s hard for me to forget it
helpful advice, I’m learning Arabic because I want to visit Morocco. I will check out your other morocco content :)
Moroccan dialect is different .
@@rawdaw65 I’m aware thank you
One of the best beachy cities in Morocco is "Agadir", it has a large coastline and beautiful - sometimes really big somtimes small ones - waves, amazing for surfers and watersports enthusiasts, I do recommend it, enjoy your trip 😀
😄😄
thanks
Agree with Wolter's do's and don'ts having been there a couple of times
Cheers!
@@woltersworld In addition to what you said, the Sahara tour from Marrakesh is either 3 or 4 days - I did the 3 day 2 nights one staying in Dades and in a bedouin tent after the camel ride from Merzouga onto the steepest sand dunes Erg Chebbi.
While staying in Marrakesh, there are many places to see in the city (gardens, palaces, medina, souks, mosques) and you can do day trips from there to Agadir (looks like Costa Del Sol), spectacular Ouzoud Waterfalls, and to Imlil National Park viewing Mount Toubkal in the Atlas Mountains
I'm thinking of this place for my next travel, I did Holland for 10 days just now and visited Antwerp for a few hours, but next time something a little more off trail. Amsterdam I had no problems or issues ever by the way, I felt incredibly safe and Purmerend Overwhere is where I resided those 10 days, nice little quiant town
I'll have to try some gray wine.
Great video.
Your arabic was great Wolter!!
Hi,thank you so much for the video,it's such a wonderful and fantastic journey through the streets of Morocco,thanks for the quality of the video,just want to know if you need a PCR test again when you leave Morocco ? I would really appreciat!
It always depends on the airline and the destination. Leaving tomorrow and I have received 7 changes in schedule and Covid test notifications in the last 2 weeks!!!
Morocco did an AMAZING job during Covid!! From day one! Buy keep checking what their rules are. Both coming and going!!
I love your information, and hope to go to Morocco some day!
Welcome. 🤩
Me too! Would love to go to Marrakech 😍 what about you?
@@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon Hello, you are welcome any time you come to Morocco 🤝🤝🤝
Welcome anytime 🇲🇦🇲🇦
I love Morocco. I traveled there in 2021 after covid. There were still some travel restrictions but everything was wonderful. Traveling back home to the USA, the guards at the airport said I was not allowed to take Moroccan currency outside the country. Cash is king in Morocco.
Fun fact: Morocoo is slightly bigger than Texas.
Thanks for the fact. Always thought it was the size of Alabama or Georgia (the state)
With the sahara included
Fun fact: this fun fact is false. Texas is indeed bigger than Morocco lol.
However it is slightly larger than California
@@ryanzbt14078 fun fact, it's not, Morocco controls the sahara, but in google its not included when you search the size :v with the sahara it's bigger than Texas lel
Seeing all these travel videos so frequently makes me wonder exactly HOW MUCH travel backlog Mark & Co. has? 🤔😂😜👍🏽
I wish i saw this 6 years ago. When I went i had a poor experience and this would have made things much better.
Oh, no!! Did something bad happen 😱
I hope nothing bad happened to you,
😎! Love it! TFS!
I love Morocco 🇲🇦
From Somalia 🇸🇴
Morocco is a very beautiful amazing country
Morocco is my favorite country with generous beautiful people, Moroccans are so amazing I have met many there so delightful and amazing, Morocco is the best ever I love
So so so much 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦💚💚💚💓💓💓
يعيش المغرب أفضل بلد في العالم 🇲🇦💚💗🥰😍💓❤️
Deep deep love to Morocco from Somalia
Best country I love so much 🇸🇴❤️💚🇲🇦😍🥰
Vive le Maroc meilleur pays du monde 🇲🇦💚🥰❤️💓
This really helped with my concerns regarding a trip to Morocco as I've heard stories from female friends on difficulties they've encountered while visiting here. That mint tea is amazing! I had some at a middle-eastern restaurant in Paris and it is nothing like any tea I've had before.
Warm greetings from Morocco Today Travel
Would love to have you come back and explore more of the northern regions after covid. Welcome at anytime!
This video is very impressive and educational
This video is so awesome and cool
Great information 👍👍👍
You have to buy a Tageen. I hope that Jocelin got a Tageen from Morocco because it is a unique cooking ware that offers a 😋 tasty food
Welcome to the country of 13 centuries of presence of the sherifian empire and amazing hitsoric and authentic Amazigh traditions unique in the world
I live in morroco :)
I’m travelling to Morocco in two months. Any Moroccans wanna hang out?
I’m going in July. Can’t wait to see Casablanca!
Hey , if you still wanna hang out 🤣 I’m in Casablanca
Hi, Mark! What month did you come in Morocco when you filmed this vlog? I noticed that the weather was gloomy and the sun rarely shown in most of the footage. Thank you!
I loved Morocco! I don’t remember them writing a number in my passport though.
What's the name of the pastry you recommend? Thanks!
P.S. Had Locros de Papa when I was in Ecuador, because of your recommendation, and LOVED IT
Thanks mate. Do you have any suggestion about the reliable tour travel agent?
Formidable
Another great video, y'all 😀 I appreciate the good information. I have been wanting to visit Morocco for a long time. Hopefully, in the next few years 🤞
Same here!! I really wanted to go In 2020 but of course, it didn’t happen 😅
So great to hear most people won't need a visa 😄 such useful information in this video! Thanks again Mark!
No problem. It was really the most common question I received about visiting Morocco
Thank you sir.. I was think too we need visa.. So now Im happy to hear that.. I have a plan to visit in Morocco this yr.. 🥰🥰🥰✈️
You are free welcomed to our benevolent county 🇲🇦
I've lived in a few places and Morocco is definitely the most difficult. I have been living here five years. If you hate animals and love chaos then this is the place for you, otherwise l would recommend that you only visit briefly and mainly for the beautiful nature. If you come to meet genuinely pleasant people then you will probably be somewhat dissapppinted.
This is how I feel
Thanks for this helpful video. Morocco is on my bucket list ✌
You are most welcome any time 🤝
You are welcome
Just as a heads up I do speak Arabic not fluently but I speak it enough to know what I'm talking about when it comes to saying this. If you speak Modern Standard Arabic, Egyptian Arabic, Lebanese Arabic, or Jordanian Arabic the locals are going to understand you however good look on understanding the locals. I have a Moroccan friend that I talk to and we'll start talking in Arabic when we are around her family and friends but when they start speaking Moroccan Arabic due to the Berber influence good luck on understanding what they're going to say. Again ninety-nine percent of the time they're going to get what you're saying but good luck on understanding what they are saying because Moroccan Arabic is a whole different world
😍😍😍
Hello has anyone from UK travelled Morocco recently? Any advice I should be aware of safety wise ? Would like to go out into rural areas
How did you get around the country? Would you recommend driving yourself around or go with a tour company?
It's a shame I can't like this video as much as I like. It's spot on.
Amazigh is also an official language in Morocco and algeria which is the native language of north Africa
Why not but this not language
Warning: new rules as of 16 June 2020 passengers from B countries must Quarantine government hotel 10 days. .same as in uk
Great video! What's the covid situation like there? Are covid tests or vaccines required to enter the country?
The map he used was actually very smart because it doesn't show the conflict area.
I believe you need a negative Covid test to enter the country!
@@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon Yes a PCR test.
Thank you so much for this video, very helpful. We're planning to visit Marrakesh in July (I know) and my main concern is the water. Will I be able to buy bottled water in like a local supermarket? Thanks.
Yes they're in every supermarket, if you are coming to Marrakech for example but cooooold bottle because the city so warm and welcome to Morocco 😊
👍👍👍👍
🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
You've gotten your letters of transit from Casa Blanca to Portugal? Were they in Sam's piano?
Great advice for Morroco, what time of year did you visit?
the best time of year is from April to November
Great video as always! Are you able to log into American websites while there? I'm wondering if I'm able to connect to my university website
I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to! But in case of any doubts, you can get a VPN☺️
Yes don't worry u can access any website from morocco
نعم سرعة انترنت مرتفع والمغرب يستعد الجيل الخميس 5ج
Please can visit Meknes city it is beautiful imperial City
I hope you come visit Egypt soon 🇪🇬 😍
People there are super super friendly. If you like to sympathize whith people, expect to be invited at their home to drink tea, eat bread with olives and cheese all day long. To be welcoming is a tradition to them. If you speak french you'll go a long way, Morocco/France friendship have a long history.
France occupied Morocco and tried to colonize it. I wouldn't exactly call that a friendship.
@@CH-vm6cq Colonization ended in 1956, since then France is Morocco's primary foreign investor, primary trade partner, and primary creditor by far. My father was born in Ouzzane and Morocco and I visited a lot. Love this country, love these people but if you want to keep hatred in your mind that's your problem...peace.
My country once again!!
👍👍🇲🇦
