BACKPACKING MOROCCO | A Moroccan Train Experience
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лис 2021
- I flew from New York City to Casablanca, Morocco, landing at around eight in the morning. I decided to skip visiting Casablanca for now and head for a smaller city I'd heard about that sounded really interesting. Luckily there was a train leaving directly from the airport.

Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
Here's Part 1 about the flight to Morocco: ua-cam.com/video/8rojc0k5jjI/v-deo.html And thanks a lot to 500,000 subscribers! Pretty crazy. The cool thing is that I passed 50,000 subscribers when I was in Morocco the last time in 2016. So it's five years later and the same number, just an extra zero. Sometimes zeros are worth more than nothin'.
Gabriel, I've been watching the numbers. Congratulations!!! And yes what a maze to walk through. In Islam, the outside of a person's home is unpretentious so as to not show decadence but once inside - as you said "gorgeous!".
Congrats Gabe! Well deserved. Iv'e been subscribed for about 7 years now. This is the most authentic travel channel on the planet!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Cowabunga DUDE!! don't believe the All lies history. Cleopatra was a dark black beautiful woman 👠♀️.💕💓Gabe
@@2ATILLTHEYBURYME Agreed, and I learn from Professor Gabe👏🏿🍾🕊️🏖️🎁

NYC-born US Ex-pat here living in Germany. Saw all of your 2016 Morocco trip. I did Marakesch Tanger and Rabat earlier in October every city blew my mind for different reasons. Amazing amazing country. You are so lucky to be back to Morocco!!! I fell deeply in love with Morocco. Wish I could teleport myself back there..haha.
thank you you welcome at any time 🇲🇦❤
مرحبا 💖💖💖🇲🇦
My brother Davis you are welkom
Morroco It is your contry
Marhaba 🙂
Welcome again
I'm moving there for "retirement" April 4, 2022.
Gabriel, very nice seeing you are in MORROCO, it's a beautiful country and a beautiful people. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats on 500,000
Congrats on 500k. Well deserved. Your videos are so cool, no pretencious editing, no "oh look how fabulous life I have" attitude, just real and down to earth, cultured guy.
Morocco's excellent train network is one of Africa's best, linking most of the main centres. Trains are comfortable, fast and generally run to their timetables.
I think you "choose" to take this old train, there is TJV and new train olso with tow floors, and clean and modern 🤔🤔🤔😒

There is no TGV to Meknes/FEZ

No train Marrakesh to
Agadir but the route is being surveyed at the moment.
The house or hotel where you're staying has tons of character. I can't wait to see more interesting architecture on your trip.
Hello 🇲🇦🌷
Oooo this makes me want to go back to Morocco! P.S. HUGE CONGRATS ON 500K!!!!!
Thanks Alina. I seriously recommend northern Morocco. I think it's more interesting than the south. I've filmed crazy amounts in the week that I've been here, but videos are delayed due to super slow internet. It's taking three days for my next video to upload. Point being, tons more coming and I think people are going to really enjoy seeing more of this country.
Congratulations for 500K subscribers. It was long due. Waiting now for 1M . Keep making great and interesting videos. The video content and quality have definitely improved since you began on this journey.
Always dreamt to explore Morocco, this is so awesome! Hopefully soon.. Cannot wait to watch your adventures. And congrats on 500k, so well deserved!
Hello 🌷🇲🇦
you re welcome brother
Shocking that trains are so much better in Morrocco than the uSA
Really ??
At the riad, the woman words in french and her tone are very kind. It seems a peaceful place to rest. I can’t wait to see what food will be to eat in Marocco. Have a nice stay there Gabriel.
I’ve followed you for many years. You’re one of the people that inspired me to travel 🧳 THANK YOU!
I took a train from Tangiers, through Fes, Meknes, Rabat and Casablanca to Marrakesh in 1979. It was an adventure then and it looks like it's an adventure now. Thanks for the video.
u welcome again for visiting u're second country 😊
Hi Gabriel! Congrats for half a million! 🤩🤩🤩 Wow! You’re such an inspiration for so many people!
Thanks a lot Renata, appreciate it.
This guy is a high roller!
He sure travels in Luxury compared to the other travel Vloggers!
Hey there, I am also in Morocco vlogging - maybe our paths will cross, that would be awesome 👍👍👍
You need a guide to get in and out of that lovely hotel!! I'd be lost very fast.
Marrakech 1971. Jim and Pam paid a visit to Morocco weeks before Jim Morrison succumbed in Paris July 1971
Hey! I'm glad to see that you liked your trip to Meknes, being a Moroccan myself, I've never been to Meknes and you made me want to jump on the train!
The woman was saying : Welcome here 😊
Congrats on 500k! Love to see more of your Moroccon journey.
Fascinating, man. I just got back from France so it’s jarring to hear the Moroccans speaking French. Enjoy, thanks for sharing.
Gabriel! I’m a big fan of Morocco! Most amazing place for me is Chefchaouen.
I highly recommend you going there ❤️
Pretty classic and cool place you have been to, waiting more to see from Morocco.
Morocco is so beautiful very interesting love to visit
So much history
Hi Gabriel, Thank you for sharing us the beauty of Morocco.
Dude literally so happy for you I’ve been watching you for years you’re the first travel blogger I’ve seen! I’m happy you made it to morocco what an awesome experience. I’m commenting before I’m even watching the video because I’m so excited lol.congrats on half a mill.
Excited to see where this adventure will take you Gabriel!
Congratulations on reaching 500,000 followers as well. I have been watching your channel a couple of years now, nice to see your online presence grow.
Meknes is really beautiful! I remember visiting beautiful gardens close to the city center. Congrats on 500K🎉👍
What a great video man!! Happy travels and I can’t wait to see more, thank you!
We loved loved loved our time in Meknes. Can't wait to see how you get back to that Riad. They are all so amazing!
Woo hoo Gabriel 😀😎👍 500k subscribers!! Happy for you! Keep it going 👏 one of my favorite vloggers! Thank you for the beautiful sights of Morocco 😊🙏❤ stay safe! See you in the next one! 😊
Congrats Gabriel with 500k, I love your videos !
Congratulations on your 500K Gabe, been a long journey but what a journey. Excellent Cheers..
Wow ! that guest house is so amazing.. really inspired me to visit Morocco one day. thank u Gab & congrats on your 500k subs
i'm really looking forward to this trip Gabe!
It's going to be pretty epic, a nice change from Europe and the USA.
Awww what a happy cute boy 10:27 bless his heart
Congrats on half a million subscribers! I've been following you since you visited Slovenia and were around 80,000. Man, you've come a long way since!
Congrats man! I started following when you had around 75k subs, its been wonderful to watch your channel grow and continue to grow.
Cool. Meknes looks amazing. Get yourself one of those djellabas. Well comfy!😂
Gabriel, continue flipping the pages of your book of Life. Stay safe.
Congrats Gabriel! 500K Incredible! I wish I could travel like you! One day!
You are always welcome to Morocco and thank you for this beautiful video
Well, you took a long distance train, so they have compartments instead of seats, you could have taken a train to Rabat, you'd get then either the duplex regional trains or you could go through high speed rail (for full disclosure, it's the same speed as regular between Casablanca or Rabat)
Also, you should revisit Rabat if you haven't done yet or did 5 years ago, as it is a city that changes so much, also go to the modern city instead of the Medina.
brother i see you in all youtubers videos traveling in morocco lol
واش شفتي الفيديو لكان هضر فيه ماعرت واش قبل هذا ولا من وراه شفتي شنو قال شفتي التعاليق؟؟؟؟؟
واحد الڤيديو لبس فيه لكحل ونظرات كحلين
@@ghazalEl شنو كانو في التعاليق

Congrats for 500k !
Morocco is in my first travel list. Great video Gabriel.
The little cat on the cardboard...love those touches.
Congrats on 500,000K
WOW! I think you're a very detail person for planning a great vacation.
Can feel your excitement Gabriel, looks like a great place to explore, and the people appear friendly to tourists/backpackers and such. Awesome, jet lag can kick your ass but the adrenaline from new places and exploring was keeping you going. Living through your travels until my heaven opens up, albeit for only a few weeks, I can't wait for my future long haul flight! lol
Great video content as ever !
love this so much
That looks mad! But in a good way. Congratulations on the milestone. Take care and stay safe
My Congratulations Gabriel for your 500K subscribers , I've been watching your UA-cam channel for 4 years , i learned a lot through your superb videos , as they say in France , life is made of travel and discovery it's a beautiful school of life , good day to you , a hello from Monaco Patrick

Congrats on 500k🎉🎉🎉🌎
I apologize for any inconvenience met in our country, Gabriel. Like Japan, we the Moors are an open people to the world, yet closed in tradition. Greetings from Belgium ! 🇲🇦
I remember scoring some great hash in Meknes, back in 1988.
Happy days!
End up like the guy in Midnight Express ! No Thanks .
Magnifique!
Congrats on 500K👍Love your channel🥰
Where are you
This is beautiful and nice tour. I would love to visit this place one day. 💝
Emma from London
Congrats Gab Your Awesome and we love you
FANTASTIC!!!!! SO INTERESTING!!
CONGRATS with the 500K!!
Congrats sir Gabe😊
Dude, I'm from Meknes and I have never been that deep in the Medina! I'd get lost
I got much deeper in, both with and without a guide. I'll be showing tons more of Meknes in upcoming videos. Really interesting city.
Hi.. Gabriel.. Amazing video.. Thanks ❤️
Meknes is such an interesting place. Hope you went to Volubilis from there.We frequently got lost when we stayed in Riads in Morocco.
Congrats on 500k buddy!
you have a cool and great approach in presenting travels, good luck and welcome to Morooco any time my friend
lovely vid, looking forward to the next ones from morocco
Just noticed the 500k Gabriel its been a great trip over the years joined you in the original India years...how things have changed....CONGRATULATIONS
Your videos are one of the best things in my life, i have to say. I love these Moroccan vids; really unfamiliar and attractive, thanks!
This maze of streets, alleys, and twists and turns would have me lost and bewildered. How can you feel comfortable? Wow, you are amazing, Gabriel.
Really Unique and divine ending .... enfin ....back to adventure...!!
I loved the music you played on the train ride 😌 Casablanca will always remind me of Bogart&Bacall ❤️
Hey Gabriel, we have met on the flight back to DC from Morocco it was nice seeing you in person and I’m looking up all your new videos and they are amazing keep the great job and I’m glad that you visited Morocco for the second time good luck on your work and happy thanksgiving.
Howdy man, cool to meet you. Have a good one and safe travels.
I love how you keep travelling!
Are we not allowed to say the p word? Sounds like endemic. My comment got deleted
You can say pandemic, I didn't delete anything. :)
@@GabrielTravelerVideos weird, anyway I love your vids
Meknes looks very nice and peaceful
A beach town in Morocco I always wanted to visit is Essaouira. Jimi Hendrix and Brian Jones liked it. Back in 1975 I went on the Magic Bus from Amsterdam to Kathmandu. That was some hard traveling.
ua-cam.com/users/gabejedmosearch?query=Essaouira
Welcome to Morocco always.
Maroko, zemljo obećana... Gabe, wish you all luck, keep travellin
Whatta crazy walk to find your hotel. I was wondering if he was taking you by a few places of interest and then wanted to charge you for it. Glad you got there and could rest up for the afternoon.
Way to go 1/2 million!!!!!
woot!
500k great news! Let the travels continue……
I'll be taking that same flight next month but I'll be sleeping overnight in Casablanca and hearing to Tangier the next day. thanks for showing a bit on the train etc. Cant wait
I dis train from Tangier to marrakech with a friend after visiting chefchoune...it ws so comfortable as 2other friends were supposed to join us so we had whole sleeping car to ourselves. Train leaving Tangier in the evening around 9pm and you wake up on marrakech perfect trip!! Beautiful scenery in the morning 💙
Dang... I've been watching you for years and now you are in my HOMETOWN
Nice trip mate. I have been in Morocco in 1994, really amazing country.
Great video!! And a great reason why you should always make sure to watch the news before visiting, there are massive protests and clashes across Morocco rn.
Why you lying did you see any massive protests or claches across in this videos?!
There are know any think about Morocco, They love to visit it and also know that it is the safest country in the region Your comments change nothing but your mind can blow up to see how the moroccan people live peaceful and how tourists love this country
I've been following you along time and I wished you'll visit my country🇲🇦, finally you did it 🙂
Congratulations brother for 500k, 1M coming sooner than you thinking
Thanks, I guess we'll see. Right now I'm adding about 4k new subs per month which means I'll get to 1 million in ten years, just as long as it took to get to 500k. Either way pretty stoked with half a mil.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos hopefully with in a year, 🙏
