All the effort you put in behind the scenes, learning the language, researching the history and culture of these nations, is what really sets these videos apart from other youtubers. Hopefully this will inspire more English speakers to learn other languages
oh wow as a berber i was not expecting that "manik antgit " but i definitely appreciate it , for the djlaba and the hat i would definitely say they are on the pricy side but if they are hand made as he said and good quality it's not a ripoff it's worth it as it would last you forever pretty much , i wish you a good stay and ty for the effort you are putting in these videos, as a local i can notice the small stuff that other viewers may not notice you are definitely a top class entertainer.
Im not an expert but 1400 dollars for a tunic, not custom tailored, and basically without design or embellishments? Jesus better have sneezed on it in the year 0 BC
I knew South Africa is very clean and organised. Tangier looks like another location in Africa. The bay looks so organised and clean, with manicured lawns and palm trees. No filth, or open sewers. They even feed the cats and seagulls generously, not just scraps. Credit to the Moroccans, their infrastructure appears to be like that of Southern Europe. The old architecture is so tasteful and beautiful. Their roads look pretty good too.
You can easily find 150 dh Djelabas all around but they're going to be machine made and not very good quality, wouldn't last long, that Djelaba you got is made in a traditional authentic way with real silk and that would last for decades i can assure you that !! I mean we still have my dad's grandfather's Djelaba in the house as a souvenir and it still looks like it's new
@@rzadigi it is not for a Djelaba like he got, traditionally made Djelabas are like luxury ones nowadays, so rare & expensive because it takes more than 2 to 3 months to make one You can either buy it already made like he did or u can order one to be custom made for you but you'll have to wait 3 months for that
@@rzadigi YES they're incredibly warm, keeps your whole body warm, even when i was in Russia in winter i had a thick Djelaba & it really was warm And again it is okay to get a cheap one as long as you take care of it, most of us do that and there's several kinds of djelaba, ones that are thick for the winter, others are thin for the summer and the medium thikness ones that are made for spring... however, the thicker ones are more expensive (even on the low end)
Your amazing ability to learn languages shows how important it is for gaining respect. I hope your channel does well and makes money for you, as you really deserve to be successful.
I really love your videos, not because you went to my home country of Jamaica but because you indulge yourself in the culture and actually give us history lesson of the places you go. Keep doing what you do and may God bless you on your journeys.
This is the most refreshing travel channel on UA-cam. Tommy puts in the effort to chat with local people and learn about their customs, history and issues. Always great content!
He told you that the first American diplomatic mission in the world was in Tangier it is called The legation and was established on May 17, 1821 ,two hundreds years ago
I like your disciplined non judgmental delivery. I’m from the UK and really don’t like over exuberant commentaries with lots of “wows!! Respect your linguistic ability and research into history and cultures.
Ahhh, i remember back in the day, in the 60's some traveling surfer friends i grew up with bringing me a nice paper lunch bag full of some hand pressed hashish, water & oil based, as well as a few surfboard shaped hash patties from Afghanistan thrown in the mix, those Afghannie slabs contained a thin spread of opium in the center, Like an oreo cookie from some exotic dreamland, those were wonderfully inspiring times of youthful nirvana indulging & surfing along the Pacific coast. That lunch bag of day dreams lasted for many years. Being in my 70's now and having survived those couple of fast changing decades unscathed. I would have had to sit & hopefully have a nice puff with that fine young digital lady in the secret cafe upstairs, for old times sake anyway. I really enjoy your world travels Tommy, with your ability to pick up such diverse linguistic skills makes your connection with the local peoples everywhere that much more colorful & interesting. Looks like a great summer hoodie you bought, quality you would never find back home. No namesake or corporate logo embossed across the front, just basic traditional summer wear with sun protection built in.. It's a sweltering 48+ celsius right now where i live near Death Valley California. A fine woven long sleeved hoodie with a wide brim hat is the ticket in the desert summers. Morocco has some of the most fascinating marine fossils found anywhere on earth. Geology & Geography has always been an obscure passion of mine, hope you run across some Morroccan examples in the inland areas & mountains you visit. Stay safe, sane and sober enough to venture out another day. Your channel, Content and traveling simplicity is what youtuber adventurers should try & aspire to. Ciao Tommy & thanks for sharing your time with the connected world.
You can get dhellabas for easily 150 dh. But they are machine made. There is a huge difference in quality when it comes to machine or handmade djellabas. The price for quality fabric, stitches, labour can rise up to 4k dh "even for moroccans".
@@xmarokk24 how about if they hand made as the seller said? I’m originally Moroccan from agadir but it’s been long time since I left, so I’m not really good on how much things costs anymore🥲
Every video I watch I learn something I would have never discovered on my own. It's like I was there with you, It always make me smile. You are a phenomenal man. Thank you.
You can notice cities are almost empty because Moroccans don't go outside during the hot of the day especially in summer if they don't have to, best time is during the mid day around 16:00H to sunset is when the streets become full of people everywhere.
Glad to see around, welcome to tangier Bro, We can never give a price for a djellaba, it may cost as low as 50DH and as high as 5000 DH, in shops, and maybe much more for luxurious ones, this depends on the quality of the garment, the quality of the thread and stitching, is the hand sewing, how good it is, how long it takes, and how long will lives, and how well it gonna look after many time swashing. Welcome again, and , BESSEHHA.
Salam Alkum Tommy this is Abdul from Algeria living in the US this is my first time seeing you wearing a Jelaba i have to admit you look like a Morrocon King (: the traditional Jelaba fit you very well specially with the Sultan Turquish hat (: My brother you really cant get it better anywhere else in the world than in Morrocco you are in the most ancien and beautiful city in the world you facing the beautiful blue turqoise mediteranean under the best beach weather in the world. Tanjer or anywhere in Morrocco great places to retired. easy access to any countries in Europe some day hope you ll take my advice brother.I am Algerian my niece is Morrocan. Algeria is also waiting for you . Peace to you brother and lots of love to all the Morrocco peoples. i have to say that i have the feeling that the Our respected King of Morrocco his Majesty is watching your video with lots of love.
The reason you see Spanish language is because Chefchaouen was a Spanish colony some 60 years ago , also the inhabitant all descend from the Moorish people who were kicked out of Spain during the Reconquista
You're my favorite UA-camr for many reasons, but mainly because I feel like we could be good friends. Thank you for everything you do, man, it's very much appreciated.
When you went to the roof top of the salesman's place and you could see all the other roof tops it took me back to the Jason Bourne movies. In one of them he was in Tangiers jumping from roof to roof! :)
honestly that jelaba is a high quality one with hand made stitches , usually not a tourist product . the price for a Moroccan would be around 850/1000 dh so 1400dh is not too bad for a tourist price tbh 😄 plust you didn't bargain at all ! lol . your videos are cool !
@@cobwebtheorem7538 yes but thats part of bargaining lol its confusing ik. its one the tricks just like "last price " and "I'm only gaining 50dh" its all a game of chicken of who stops first lol
We are up high (ok…not that kind of high) up in the Reifer Mtns. above Chefchaouen. Made sure we headed over to Mizlafen but hiked up to the big waterfalls up another canyon. Acres of hard scrabble weed farms and plots out there. Thanks for turning us on to the out of the way places. Spending an month in Morocco painting and drawing places and people. You are making some great content sir!
I came across your channel only last week and I am currently just at the Rwanda point, but I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to catching up to this point. I have fallen in love with Africa, and you meet so many characters along the way, thanks to your laidback attitude and daring. New fan from Scotland 🏴 😃
@@eazydazit oh no, I would defo get a withdrawal! I can’t believe some situations he gets himself into. My fav so far being when he was a body guard like the ‘everybody knows me guy’ and the guy who’s ‘bike broke down’ in Gorissa. ‘I started trusting you when we were driving towards the Somalia border and you turned back’ 😂😂
I've been there it is amazing all the little remnants of the colonial past and yes great food; friendly people and excellent hash :) old men tend to smoke sebsi which is the husk of the ganja seeds...great place to shop for carpets; leather goods etc
Man you give so much peace of mind about the world it's insane. You seem like a really good individual to encounter in this vast world, hope to meet while we travel one day!
I’ve been a viewer for a long time and I gotta say I love your videos! They’ve made me want to film my adventure back to Argentina. Thanks for the inspiration. You’ve opened my eyes to so many places I never would have thought about visiting over others, but you’ve shown me how interesting those places are. Can’t wait for the next one!
I love Morrocco though I've never been so thank you. I do however have some ancient Berber pottery pieces that are a thousand years old.. Nice job Tom!! Keith (In Florida)
Chill, he's being honest not disrespectful. I'm Moroccan and I find it bothersome too when there are 5 athans going on at once. Just like I found church bells tiresome when I was staying next to one in France.
My new fav channel , and yes u got overcharged but I hope it doesnt take away from the experience ... Marhaba bik to Morocco and good luck for ur next travels
This city looks so beatiful, I can see how writers would find great inspiration in these places. It has a very unique charm and a myserious vibe to it. Definetly a place I would like to visit one day!
20:25 , Ricinus communis, the castor bean or castor oil plant, Castor seed is the source of castor oil, which has a wide variety of uses ; wikipedia. FUN FACT this is the plant from which come the seeds used to make the ricin in the series breaking bad :D
Thank you in Amazigh language is " Tanmirt" also I want to point out something you have states in your video , you said that "the Berber language is a minority language " the fact is that Beber language is the majority, the Amazigh people live all over the Moroccan territory . Some of the young generations whom live in big cities speak Arabic however their parents are Amazigh people. Other than that it's a valuable content you are making. Thanks
No he's right, the Amazigh language nowadays is the mother tongue of roughly one third of the moroccan population. but in the other hand, the vast majority of Moroccans are from Amazigh origins despite the language they speak
i think this has to be one of my favorite videos of yours, that blue color just puts you at peace instantly, what a beautiful place to live💙💙💙 my favorite part 18:51 "okay... no pigeon shit" lol
ANOTHER ONE! From the great Tommy. This is a real eye opener, adventurers and educative. You are really openning up our minds and also learning lots about this world. Can't wait to see some Morrocan Matakos. Thank you Tommy! Much love from Nairobi, KENYA
You gotta meet up with Bohemian Kitchen, he is a korean influencer who happens to lives in morocco with his wife, and they are so good in Arabic as well
Adventure Elliot recommended me to your channel. He said you were in Morocco. Long ago, I traveled around Morocco and it was one of the great experiences I have had. At the farthest extent of the trip I hiked alone from the edge of Morocco (close to Zagora) to nearly Mali and back. I see you have a number of videos on Africa and South America. I stayed in Buenos Aires (Martinez - out the Le Tigre line) for some time as you did. It was nice to see Tangier here again!
The shrub you possibly mistook for hemp--it's castor bean, an invasive plant in many subtropical regions. Also, the cacti seen just before the castor bean--they too are introduced and many are invasive, except for one cactus species native to Africa; all the others are from the Americas.
The berbers are everywhere in Morocco, the big majority of the population of Morocco (and the Maghreb region in general) is berbers or arabized berbers (meaning berbers that speak arabic), the rif people (or rifians) are a berber group that live in the rif mountains but there are also other groups such a the Sous people (living the sous region where the city of Agadir is), Atlas people (living in the Atlas mountains) and many other ethnic groups but all share the same Amazigh culture and language (with different dialects).
@tiki taka No thank's i love morocco i don't want to return and for information the country of my origin is Yemen but i prefer morocco 🇲🇦❤ Moroccans People are so Nice
@@ghiles.a when did your family immigrate from yemen to Morocco ? It is very unusual, never heard of moroccans of yemeni origins. But cool if that's true
@@jonasw3945 yes there is some families of arabs origins ( saudi arabia , Yémen or iraq ) and there is some andalucian in Fez , Rabat and Salé the rest are amazigh or berbers the big part of moroccans are amazigh of course , my family immigrate in the 18th century
@@ghiles.a Oh cool, I knew many andalucians came to Morocco considering the close proximity and that many muslims fled/were expelled from Spain during the 15 century and 16th century and came to Morocco as a result. Interesting that your family came in 18th century, I wonder what would push someone so far in Yemen to come to Morocco during that period ? The only reason that comes to my mind is maybe to study since I know Fès had the al-Qarawiyyin place that was popular to study science and religion in the islamic world
They tell a story about a guy in my neck of the woods, in the Ozarks. He wanted nothing more than to be a Berber. He asked people where to go to be a Berber. He was told to go high in the mountains of Morocco and so he did. After 15 years there, he still wondered, When will I learn to cut hair?"
It's not a language minority bro, we are the majority. Thank you = Tanemmirt 🙏 There are three main dialect in Moroccan Tamazight; the Rif, the Mid-Atlas, & the Souss. The latter is the most popular, head South if you wanna learn "Soussia". I'm originally from the Ammeln Valley, it's a beautiful hidden place. You should visit it.
@@observeurr You can wander the streets of the largest Moroccan cities such as Casablanca and ask people and you will see that Old Moroccan ain't only regional. The Mid-Atlas and the Souss can understand each other to a great extent, the Rifian dialect is a bit similar to Algerian berber. However, on the berber TV channel all three communicate with each other with no problem.
@@observeurr what is old Moroccan ?the majority is Arabic speakers those who only speak Berber not Arabic because they are not mixed with Arabs are minority. Let's be honest and stop lying. These guy that went out of his way to write in tiffinagh is a liar. No one read TIFFINAGH. It's a writing that no one write or read !!! What is he talking about. We are not ethnically different.but some people still don't want to admit that we are Arab and Berber the same they are in denial
@@observeurr myself as a person who has a mixed background like the majority of Moroccans, my family are Arabian, riffians Berber and Arabs of the city of Tangiers that are different from jebbala ( the villagers), I can tell you that my riffians relative are the only one who speak Berber not the others.
@@observeurr we are north Africans but it's too narrow as who we are. We are more than just north African, we are Arabs and Berbers put in a mixer and mixed very special cocktail 🍸🍹
Hey sabbatical I just want to say that I love your videos and your personality is inspiring for me and I'm sure for lot of people keep going, I'm from France and currently learning English language to travel all around the world like you ! If somedays you want to come visiting France send me a message I'll show you the best part of Lyon (where I live) !
Hello.Can you please share here with me some of the good places to visit please. I'm in that city and i'd like to discover it in another way. Thank you
No the Arab umyyhad caliphate that conquered mesopotamia Syria Egypt then north Africa ruled parts of Iberia at different times. And Morocco was under vandal rule and Roman rule before the Arab caliphates.
@@IrishCinnsealach Al Muhad that unified Iberia are Arab ? Al Moravid are Arab ? bahahaha shut the fck up when you were when we're fighting alone against the Christians during the Reconquista ?
Thats not rip off if its decent quality.. but even then there are djellaba in Morocco that can cost 3 or 4 times the amount you paid. Like anything it depends on the quality and cost of the materials used. Saying that, its a good idea in my country to thoroughly check and make sure your happy with your purchase and the quality of the product before giving away any money.
@@dncviorel wool and cotton is normal material for djellaba but there is also option of silk for women. Depending where you go you can find slight different designs, styles and thickness and materials as morocco has many landscapes with different climates.
1400 is a fair price if the Djellaba is really handmade, some even cost thousands. It all depends on the quality of the fabric and the little details it has... Chefchaouen is not technically in the Rif Mountains, it's right at the beginning....You gotta go further east to get the full experience....Try Ketama and surrounding towns, some people only speak Berber there. If you come down to Casablanca hit me up, I live in a beach town just outside of it. I am heading to Tanzania next month and that's how I stumbled across your channel; I have learned a lot about that country through you, thanks! and enjoy your stay here.
Chefchaouen is not technically in the Rif mountains ? where did you get that from ? Iam from Chefchaouen and Chaouen is in the middle of the Rif mountains, the Rif mountains start between Tanger and Tetouan until Berkane. Allah ya khay ma ka t3rafchi kharita d bladna ?
The most known exclaves of Spain in Morocco is as you say Ceuta and Melilla, but there is one more interesting one, Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, a very small islet connected to Morocco by a small sandy beach, claimed to be the worlds shortest border.
Back on the road in the Reefer Mountains..
Be safe, will ya!?
Damnit Sabbatical the one time I show up early and I forgot the cool question i was going to ask of excitement.

I came across your channel only last week and I am currently just at the Rwanda point, but I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to catching up to this point. I have fallen in love with Africa, and you meet so many characters along the way, thanks to your laidback attitude and daring. New fan from Scotland 🏴 😃
Welcome to the addiction my friend
Just be mindful of the withdrawal when he takes sabbatical( pun intended) for a while without a fix, err..content 😁
@@eazydazit oh no, I would defo get a withdrawal! I can’t believe some situations he gets himself into. My fav so far being when he was a body guard like the ‘everybody knows me guy’ and the guy who’s ‘bike broke down’ in Gorissa. ‘I started trusting you when we were driving towards the Somalia border and you turned back’ 😂😂
Ahhh. Yes. A new video. I have been patiently waiting.
I've been there it is amazing all the little remnants of the colonial past and yes great food; friendly people and excellent hash :) old men tend to smoke sebsi which is the husk of the ganja seeds...great place to shop for carpets; leather goods etc
Keith Richards of the rollling stones also spent time in Tangier . There were alot of hippies hanging out there back in the day.
Man you give so much peace of mind about the world it's insane. You seem like a really good individual to encounter in this vast world, hope to meet while we travel one day!
Thanks! For visiting tangier I can now see how it looks like and Matakos it has sticked all along
I’ve been a viewer for a long time and I gotta say I love your videos! They’ve made me want to film my adventure back to Argentina. Thanks for the inspiration. You’ve opened my eyes to so many places I never would have thought about visiting over others, but you’ve shown me how interesting those places are. Can’t wait for the next one!
I love Morrocco though I've never been so thank you. I do however have some ancient Berber pottery pieces that are a thousand years old.. Nice job Tom!! Keith (In Florida)
Love the cliff hanger! Can't wait to see you find the hash, bon voyage
They have some amazing doors in Tangier.
Iam moroccan and Im happy to see you talking our language very smoothly wish you a good trip here enjoy my friend, from Agadir_Morocco . Azul
11:53 The most beautiful sound in the world. the call to prayer Allahuakbar Allah is the greatest.
have some respect and god guide you.
Chill, he's being honest not disrespectful. I'm Moroccan and I find it bothersome too when there are 5 athans going on at once. Just like I found church bells tiresome when I was staying next to one in France.
Give it a rest will you.
Tangier is a vibe fr, Tommy you should just wear the Djellaba in all your future episodes! Love Morocco 🇲🇦!
My new fav channel , and yes u got overcharged but I hope it doesnt take away from the experience ... Marhaba bik to Morocco and good luck for ur next travels
This city looks so beatiful, I can see how writers would find great inspiration in these places. It has a very unique charm and a myserious vibe to it. Definetly a place I would like to visit one day!
20:25 , Ricinus communis, the castor bean or castor oil plant, Castor seed is the source of castor oil, which has a wide variety of uses ; wikipedia. FUN FACT this is the plant from which come the seeds used to make the ricin in the series breaking bad :D
I swear this is the most chill guy ever XD love the videos theyre more interesting than discovery documents
Closing in on 300k fast as hell! Congrats to you and your channel Tommy! Can’t wait until you upload again!
Thank you in Amazigh language is " Tanmirt" also I want to point out something you have states in your video , you said that "the Berber language is a minority language " the fact is that Beber language is the majority, the Amazigh people live all over the Moroccan territory . Some of the young generations whom live in big cities speak Arabic however their parents are Amazigh people. Other than that it's a valuable content you are making. Thanks
No he's right, the Amazigh language nowadays is the mother tongue of roughly one third of the moroccan population. but in the other hand, the vast majority of Moroccans are from Amazigh origins despite the language they speak
I really envy the life you’re living. Keep going Tommy, hot greetings from Hamburg, Germany 🤙✌️
i think this has to be one of my favorite videos of yours, that blue color just puts you at peace instantly,
what a beautiful place to live💙💙💙 my favorite part 18:51 "okay... no pigeon shit" lol
Those guys were high af
Morocco is definitely very unique place ....
Good Luck.
My tip to you in Chefchaouen.... no earplugs, just join the prayer!!!! :-)
ANOTHER ONE! From the great Tommy. This is a real eye opener, adventurers and educative. You are really openning up our minds and also learning lots about this world. Can't wait to see some Morrocan Matakos.
Thank you Tommy!
Much love from Nairobi, KENYA
You gotta meet up with Bohemian Kitchen, he is a korean influencer who happens to lives in morocco with his wife, and they are so good in Arabic as well
Seconded, they live in the north too I believe
Can’t wait for the morrocan countryside adventures!
Adventure Elliot recommended me to your channel. He said you were in Morocco. Long ago, I traveled around Morocco and it was one of the great experiences I have had. At the farthest extent of the trip I hiked alone from the edge of Morocco (close to Zagora) to nearly Mali and back. I see you have a number of videos on Africa and South America. I stayed in Buenos Aires (Martinez - out the Le Tigre line) for some time as you did. It was nice to see Tangier here again!
As-salamu alaykum Tommy. Can't wait for more episodes!
25:31 always appreciate when Tommy compares the land to a video game scene haha
14:39. Kitteh looked so comfy and content. ☺️
Great video Tommy! These videos make me want to travel to Morocco one day! Much love from Western Australia!
The shrub you possibly mistook for hemp--it's castor bean, an invasive plant in many subtropical regions. Also, the cacti seen just before the castor bean--they too are introduced and many are invasive, except for one cactus species native to Africa; all the others are from the Americas.
The berbers are everywhere in Morocco, the big majority of the population of Morocco (and the Maghreb region in general) is berbers or arabized berbers (meaning berbers that speak arabic), the rif people (or rifians) are a berber group that live in the rif mountains but there are also other groups such a the Sous people (living the sous region where the city of Agadir is), Atlas people (living in the Atlas mountains) and many other ethnic groups but all share the same Amazigh culture and language (with different dialects).
And there is me who is Arab 😂😂
@tiki taka No thank's i love morocco i don't want to return and for information the country of my origin is Yemen but i prefer morocco 🇲🇦❤ Moroccans People are so Nice
@@ghiles.a when did your family immigrate from yemen to Morocco ? It is very unusual, never heard of moroccans of yemeni origins. But cool if that's true
@@jonasw3945 yes there is some families of arabs origins ( saudi arabia , Yémen or iraq ) and there is some andalucian in Fez , Rabat and Salé the rest are amazigh or berbers the big part of moroccans are amazigh of course , my family immigrate in the 18th century
@@ghiles.a Oh cool, I knew many andalucians came to Morocco considering the close proximity and that many muslims fled/were expelled from Spain during the 15 century and 16th century and came to Morocco as a result. Interesting that your family came in 18th century, I wonder what would push someone so far in Yemen to come to Morocco during that period ? The only reason that comes to my mind is maybe to study since I know Fès had the al-Qarawiyyin place that was popular to study science and religion in the islamic world
Lmoa at the end when you relates the empty town to resident evil. Hears the death scream. That hashish hitting him hard lmao 🤣 😂 😆 😭 .... aka paranoia
They tell a story about a guy in my neck of the woods, in the Ozarks. He wanted nothing more than to be a Berber. He asked people where to go to be a Berber. He was told to go high in the mountains of Morocco and so he did. After 15 years there, he still wondered, When will I learn to cut hair?"
It's not a language minority bro, we are the majority.
Thank you = Tanemmirt 🙏
There are three main dialect in Moroccan Tamazight; the Rif, the Mid-Atlas, & the Souss. The latter is the most popular, head South if you wanna learn "Soussia". I'm originally from the Ammeln Valley, it's a beautiful hidden place. You should visit it.
@@observeurr You can wander the streets of the largest Moroccan cities such as Casablanca and ask people and you will see that Old Moroccan ain't only regional.
The Mid-Atlas and the Souss can understand each other to a great extent, the Rifian dialect is a bit similar to Algerian berber. However, on the berber TV channel all three communicate with each other with no problem.
@@observeurr So you are a Moroccan?!
@@observeurr what is old Moroccan ?the majority is Arabic speakers those who only speak Berber not Arabic because they are not mixed with Arabs are minority. Let's be honest and stop lying. These guy that went out of his way to write in tiffinagh is a liar. No one read TIFFINAGH. It's a writing that no one write or read !!! What is he talking about. We are not ethnically different.but some people still don't want to admit that we are Arab and Berber the same they are in denial
@@observeurr myself as a person who has a mixed background like the majority of Moroccans, my family are Arabian, riffians Berber and Arabs of the city of Tangiers that are different from jebbala ( the villagers), I can tell you that my riffians relative are the only one who speak Berber not the others.
@@observeurr we are north Africans but it's too narrow as who we are. We are more than just north African, we are Arabs and Berbers put in a mixer and mixed very special cocktail 🍸🍹
Talk about a cliff hanger lol 😆 leaving us with a death scream, till the next one, love your video bro!
Hey sabbatical I just want to say that I love your videos and your personality is inspiring for me and I'm sure for lot of people keep going, I'm from France and currently learning English language to travel all around the world like you ! If somedays you want to come visiting France send me a message I'll show you the best part of Lyon (where I live) !
Oh man Lyon is so beautiful. Cheers from Italy
Hello.Can you please share here with me some of the good places to visit please. I'm in that city and i'd like to discover it in another way. Thank you
@@LogsMaggot year so is Italy I love your country as well man !
Lyon has the best food
yes, Tommy, we are all proud of you here in Nigeria, In God We Trust!!!
Love this types of blog Where has no loud Music just only main topics
ive said it before and ill say it again, the best travel tuber .period.
Watching from Scotland 🏴 I love your videos they are so interesting sending love and hugs xxxx
The Moors of what we now call Morocco once ruled over the Iberian Peninsula. Modern day Spain and Portugal. Very interesting group of people.
No the Arab umyyhad caliphate that conquered mesopotamia Syria Egypt then north Africa ruled parts of Iberia at different times.
And Morocco was under vandal rule and Roman rule before the Arab caliphates.
@@IrishCinnsealach Al Muhad that unified Iberia are Arab ? Al Moravid are Arab ? bahahaha shut the fck up when you were when we're fighting alone against the Christians during the Reconquista ?
I am seriously falling in love with Morocco and Moroccans
Thats not rip off if its decent quality.. but even then there are djellaba in Morocco that can cost 3 or 4 times the amount you paid. Like anything it depends on the quality and cost of the materials used.
Saying that, its a good idea in my country to thoroughly check and make sure your happy with your purchase and the quality of the product before giving away any money.
What materials are used for a top quality Djellaba?
@@dncviorel wool and cotton is normal material for djellaba but there is also option of silk for women. Depending where you go you can find slight different designs, styles and thickness and materials as morocco has many landscapes with different climates.
@@blendermonkey960 Very interesting, thank you!
Tommy, Love your videos. It lets me escape the real world sometimes and live vicariously through you. Thank you Tommy!
Tommy! You killed me with that "okay, now what?" ending of your video!
I'm moroccan.. And yes the traditional clothes are quite expensive (the caftan, the djelaba...) 1400dh for a good quality djelaba is worth it
I was just thinking about you earlier today. Good to see you're alive and well!
1400 is a fair price if the Djellaba is really handmade, some even cost thousands. It all depends on the quality of the fabric and the little details it has...
Chefchaouen is not technically in the Rif Mountains, it's right at the beginning....You gotta go further east to get the full experience....Try Ketama and surrounding towns, some people only speak Berber there.
If you come down to Casablanca hit me up, I live in a beach town just outside of it. I am heading to Tanzania next month and that's how I stumbled across your channel; I have learned a lot about that country through you, thanks! and enjoy your stay here.
Chefchaouen is not technically in the Rif mountains ? where did you get that from ? Iam from Chefchaouen and Chaouen is in the middle of the Rif mountains, the Rif mountains start between Tanger and Tetouan until Berkane. Allah ya khay ma ka t3rafchi kharita d bladna ?
The most known exclaves of Spain in Morocco is as you say Ceuta and Melilla, but there is one more interesting one, Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, a very small islet connected to Morocco by a small sandy beach, claimed to be the worlds shortest border.
25:36 I adore your creative powers
From Somalia love your channel
Do you have internet in your country?
Do you have a brain!!
Doushead!!
Been to 40+ countries and you’re inspiring me to keep going. My language skills aren’t 1/10th of what you have though. Amazing content Tommy!!
Interesting and informative 🇯🇲
Tom thank you for your special love for Nigeria. I love that part!
Oh man , such an interesting place , great vlog
Whatever if the price is good or not, that Djellaba fits you pretty well.
