I'm here to shine a positive light on Morocco and why we enjoy living here. I feel like what's out there is a tourist perspective, but a year and some later, I am going to give you the REAL DEAL. What it's really like living here. Hope you enjoy this video!

I was there in 1980 ...people were great then and I am sure thei are now....time and governments don't change people ,just difficulties.
That makes me happy to hear! 😃 and it gets better as you build connections
We are still as you left us , I'm not gonna say great but I prefer to say good, because greatness is for Allah, thanks brother for your beautiful words, and you're welcome whenever you want ✌️

1980... has it changed ? I would say usa, 1980, to today ,, I would say it has gotten worse..
I am Christian and I carry the bags of my Muslim female neighbors all the time ! Good people are good people ! No matter the religion !
نحن المغاربة الحمد الله لم نتربى على الكراهية لا للدين ولا للعرق ونتمنا ان يبقا شعبنا هكذا
Thanks for information
As a moroccan welcome in your country we are one ummah, the muslim is a brother to another Muslim that Islam
Alhamdulillah, we have gotten to see some or the beautiful people Morocco have to offer ! When we live like Moroccans our stay here became easy. Thank you 😊
@@ibraishah i live in agadir city Allhamdullilah, may Allah bless you your family.
@@abumuhammad6923 we've never been! Maybe one day in shaa Allah. Enjoy the beach!
@@ibraishah you most welcome insha'Allah
Alhamdulillah ❤
Welcome to Morocco ❤️🇲🇦 ،،،Nice content and you are a very respectable person ❤❤👍
Thank you! 😃 May Allah reward you for your kind words.
I am Christian, i am from ethiopia , i visited casablanca Morocco in march 2023 for 10 days.
......here i am to defend the good name and the good image of Morocco
.....who was talking negative about morroco?
.....tell that person unless one go to paradise no perfect place on earth.
. .. some people talk too much , don't trust them
My Moroccan stay experience , Morocco is
1- safe place to visit
2- friendly people
3- beautiful people
4- hospitable I lost my way to my hotel but people help me graciously
5- i saw few who confused me as Ethiopian, of course they confused me too as morrocoian as well, so i felt a bit of connection.
6- the food i.e. the steak was very good
......the down side is only 2 things. I don't speak Arabic, i don't speak french
1- they speak arbic and French, hardly i find english speaker so i have big communication barrier
2- for some reason in Casablanca especially around the vicinity of the stadium, like abeineze road and city center area , i don't see pedestrians , i don't know why hassle bustle thing is missing. Of course old madina was more active
......i wish i can live in Morocco and open businesses
Welcome to morocco and may Allah bless your family
Ameen and you and yours! Thanks for watching and the welcome 😃
Love Morocco from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️🇲🇦
As a Moroccan and Muslim you are welcome ❤❤❤❤always welcome
Thank you so much ❤️ this is home now, alhamdulillah !
You're welcome my sister here in Morocco, if you need anything I'm glad to help 😊.
It's true we are not the best economically and we are as any country facing some challenges whether in terms of climate change,inflation and stuffs but we try to keep a safe environment for everybody to live in, and we live with dignity and love.
Many Moroccans don't speak English as it's the 4th language taught after darija or tamazight,arabic,French and Spanish so usually it's hard for tourists to get by and get the best experience here and I understand that but we are working more on that .
Like you said this is the case for many countries but life with dignity and love is absent from many countries. We are learning Arabic as this is key to the religion and Quran and it helps us get by alhamdulillah even in Darija. We don't expect to have Morocco change the language to accommodate us but we change and adapt to the country. Thank you so much for your kind words and hospitality, and let's stay in touch! ❤️
Thank you too for your kind and thoughtful answer, I wish you a good stay and life for you,your family and kids here in Morocco. Good luck in your journey of learning Arabic 👍, the start will be a little bit challenging but I'm sure you will get by. As for darija,I think learning Arabic will make the task of understanding it very very easy and Moroccans can understand Arabic so no pressure my sister.
May Allah be with you 🙏🏻
All you said is the truth Morocco people make me to love Islam
الحمد الله ❤️
الله يحبك

As Salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu, what country did you move from and can you explain the cost of living difference and how ur family citizen/ visa process was ? I’m looking to move abroad but idk what Muslim country would be best? Thanks so much for sharing ur journey 😊
In Morocco, as in all countries, it takes time to adapt. If you stay for a while, you'll eventually adapt.
Admittedly, not everything is as organised, as clean or as fast as in the UK.
Admittedly, some of the population has a tendency to westernise (part of the bourgeoisie who idealise the West too much).
But Morocco does have some advantages over the UK (or USA):
- Women can wear the hijab without risk (and men can wear quamis) and without risking a racist attack.
- There are more mosques (with adhan)
- religion is easier to practise (halal meat, Ramadan, eid festivals, etc.)
- Life is cheap for a European.
- it's a safer country (of course, there are bad people in Morocco, as there are everywhere).
- Unlike some Western countries, some bad things will never be taught to your children in school, even private schools, and you'll never see anything weird in administrative papers (like "gender indeterminate", "parent 1", "parent 2" for g*y couples...). And a child will never say to your child: "I've got two dads or two mums’’ !
- There is much less tax than in some European countries.
- There's more sunshine than in the UK.
-...
Prefer Casablanca or Marrakech if you like city life.
In the beginning that can be quite difficult but over Time , In the long run, you will see that the advantages of living in Morocco outweigh the disadvantages.
I'd be happy if he could see this comment and reply to me! (Please like
مرحبا بكم اختي الكريمة في المغرب
شكرا بزاااف! المغرب جميل جدا و أشخاصها أيضا ❣️
Welkome sister.leave in peace.All the people of the hole world Who Are peacefully Are welcome
Thank you! 💐
I think you speak about your roots Africa
I'm happy to that I'm here and can make my way around to my roots in shaa Allah. Very nice experience so far! 😃
I also want yo live in Morocco. And work there. But i don't know how i can do it. How to find job and how is a salary there. for example, how much do mechanics earn there?
That I don't know but the average salary is about 350/ 3500mad. I think jobs are somewhat word of mouth or you can ask certain companies if they are hiring.
Salam alikum sister. We live in the UK and plan to move to Morocco. What advice can you give us?
There's a lot! And a lot, I'm still learning. Make sure bank cards can last you for your stay, if you know a Moroccan that you trust ask them to reach out to their family Morocco, it helps if you know someone. As unnecessary interactions with locals as a foreigner will cost you $$ even if you ask a question. Make sure you rent from a place that is willing to notarize the contract for your apartment and most importantly STICK TOGETHER. Traveling is difficult, but Traveling for the pleasure of Allah is even more difficult. There will be lots of trials, even lots of behavior that'll turn you off, stick together as a family and recognize the trial when you see it and in shaa Allah it will be rewarding for you all. May Allah make it easy for you ❤️ Sorry for the late reply!!!!
@@ibraishah Thank you for your reply. I am getting a bit worried. Things you said are a bit harsh for a foreigner. We are visiting Tangier in May. We will, of course, experience some of what you said. Inshallah, things will be ok 😊

مرحبا بكم في بلادكم تاني وسعداء بزيارتكم ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏☝
بلادنا ثاني تأكيد! الحمدلله لبلد الإسلام والمسلمين. الحمدلله و جزاك الله خيرا ❤️
As a black African i would never visit Morocco....never,i have heard enough about this country over the years.
What is free education in Morocco for international students?
You'll need to have a residency card to public services
Hello, how are you, Morocco? ❤
Morocco has been excellent! Thank you for asking. Love seeing the Muslim history here.
As salaamu Alaikum. What part of Morocco are you in?
Wa alaikum as salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh, I'm in Mohammedia.
Because .. stranger danger ! Truth !
I honestly I find it strange when people are complaining about something that they aren’t used in there culture, I understand there frustration example like bargaining in market that’s how it’s over there if u don’t like u pay the first price he asked , second thing people’s trying to sell u something, u can refuse for them that how they make there living but u can always refuse
The last thing I will say I hope people’s take the feed back and learn from it as tourist is big industry in Morocco so plz for the sake of God take there feed back either positive or negative for the positive it’s a reward to encourage u to do better job
For negative try to improve the service ( bargaining honestly I have encountered that on tetouan he sell bread for local a loaf for 1,50 DH but for peoples visiting for 2:50 DH and they are killing me they are Muslim and talk about religion wish I will care less )
( don’t try to stick urself to sell ur thing if someone need it then treat him as customer with respect etc )
You are right with this. Respect cultures and respect customers. Honesty is the best policy. But I'm not a peoples person the idea of negotiating is scary. I rather keep my head down, shop quickly and go home hehe. I appreciate the feedback!
@@ibraishahdon't worry even among us local people there are people who don't like negotiating prices, so we just go to supermarkets and boutiques where all prices are fixed and we avoid the headache that way lol nowadays I just do all my courses online through Marjane, or Marjane Mall or Carrefour, or Glovo apps and they bring them to my doorstep, it's more practical that way and time saving as well.... life is getting easier nowadays (for introverts especially lol)
What visa do i need if i want to live there.
You'll need to apply for a residency card "carte sejour". You can get this is you have fixed property, a business, job or married to a Moroccan.
@@ibraishah ah okay. JazakaAllah kair sister
The pizza story has a stupid ! Hahaha ! He forgot the machine ! Will hé return with a cold pizza ?
Y pensar que todo el norte de África era cristiana antes de la invasión criminal del islam
The cat is saying “ believe ye in Jesus Christ while upholding your religious Muslim values ! “
Muslims do believe in prophet Jesus! But we do not elevate him to the status of God. Thanks for watching!
I want talk with you my sister
No problem! Send me an email 😊
Can u guys join me in your conversation, i am also planning to move to Morocco.
Morocco kingdom 🇲🇦👑 welcomes everyone, Muslims, Christians, Jews, and non-religious people. It is important for people to know Morocco. All nationalities, ethnicities, and ethnic groups live here in peace. ❤️ Welcome All the World 🇲🇦🇲🇦
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I'm sorry but I'm not agree when you say it's normal that local people in Morocco "take advance" of tourists because they do it by cheating and raising the price of what they sell or trying to give you back less money than they should give you. That "extra money" they earn is haram.
Agreed
I am always wondering why Europeans bargain and try to pay as little as possible even if they are not poor, afterwards they are laughing about how poor the third countries are. Doesn't it make you think that is how the rich exploit the poor.
@@petitsoleil1999 The price of the things sold should be the same for everyone. Raising the price for the mere fact of being a foreigner isn't correct. Even haggling over the price, they always win; They're experts and know the real value of what they sell. They always play with an advantage. Regarding your question, what sense does it have in relation to what I explain here?
may Morocco becomes a Christian nation
Maybe secular God forbid but I do not see it becoming Christian
😂 Morocco is a muslim country with a great islam history and Al Andalouse. Morrocans are the number 1 in the world that memorising the Quran , men and women❤🇲🇦
Too many muslims, underdrveloped.
more developped than south america, full of christians xD
Depending on what you mean by developed!!
