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!
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 🤗
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.... ❤❤❤
@@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 ...... 😊
@@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....
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!
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.
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 😀
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.
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.

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.
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.

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!
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
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.
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 !!!
Arriving in Casablanca by cruise ship. Is it a better cultural experience to take the ship's Casablanca/Rabat tour or Marrakesh? We are 3 women, ages 60 plus.
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!!
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.
@@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
When you were filming in the medina I noticed people were wearing long sleeves. I also noticed there were a lot of offbeat items you couldn't find in most department stores. Could a person describe it then as kind of a funky cold medina?
One more thing that I experienced in Marrakech was that some mosques would not allow female Muslims to enter as they are just reserved for male Muslims which I found quite irritating.
I've been learning Arabic and looking for different Arabic speaking countries to visit. Do you think I could practice my Arabic there? I am learning Modern Standard, and have started studying the Shami dialect, too. I know the dialect in Morocco is very different. But could I use my Modern Standard in any situations?
Yeah you can practice your Arabic, we have different accent but we can else speak and understand all Arabic accent, don't worry 😊 and welcome. oh by the way I speak classical Arabic and I love it so if you want any help here you are welcome I live in Marrakech
@@rachidfit3529 Salaams Rachid. I’ll be visiting Casablanca for 5 days this coming July, God willing. I booked a one day tour to Marrakech on July 18. Would be nice if we could meet.
Just note that Moroccan sometimes quote in Centim, and if they do that than you have to divide the number by 100 😎. Something they'll quote you in Riyals which you'll have divide it by 20 😎. To complicate matters more the Riyals in the north has a different value than other areas of Morocco. Always ask how much is in Dirhams...
@@reefk3412 it means... You will be quoted in dollars or cents. If you are not familiar with the differences in terminology, you'll only remember dollars and think "wtf $200 for a bottle of water?"
Can someone please answer this: many places in the world forbid entering mosques if you're not a Muslim. So how do they know you're a Muslim or not? What do they do? Anyone with personal experience please let me know, I'd greatly appreciate it.
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.
@@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.
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 🤞
The destinations you've explored don't capture the full essence of Morocco. A significant portion of the population grapples quietly with challenges like unemployment, inadequate education and healthcare, poverty, and mental health struggles. Additionally, a number of individuals, driven by desperation, risk their lives attempting to migrate to Europe. This is the stark reality that some influencers may overlook or choose not to share, but global awareness is growing, and the broader truths are increasingly hard to conceal.
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)

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.

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.
I hope you come visit Egypt soon 🇪🇬 😍

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 😅
The destinations you've explored don't capture the full essence of Morocco. A significant portion of the population grapples quietly with challenges like unemployment, inadequate education and healthcare, poverty, and mental health struggles. Additionally, a number of individuals, driven by desperation, risk their lives attempting to migrate to Europe. This is the stark reality that some influencers may overlook or choose not to share, but global awareness is growing, and the broader truths are increasingly hard to conceal.
