  • Enjoy our live Monday Night Travel party with this video recorded on November 13, 2023.
    Rick just spent a dozen thrilling days in Morocco - and even though he was on an actual vacation, he couldn't resist taking lots of notes! He's excited to share an enticing look at Rabat, Meknes, Fes, the Atlas Mountains, Marrakesh, and the popular destinations in the Sahara Desert - where the next stop is, literally, Timbuktu. From horribly fragrant leather souks to sleeping under the stars in the Sahara to evocative Roman ruins to the thriving markets in the ultimate medina, Rick will celebrate the best of Morocco. For anyone wondering about travel in "post-earthquake Morocco" and what sights, experiences, and taste treats a well-planned trip would include, this is the MNT for you. #ricksteves #mondaynighttravel #morocco

    I just googled: Rick Steves... he was born on May 10th 1955. I was born on May 8th 1954. No wonder I like him so much! 🇨🇦❤😊👍 I've got his books and CDs from 2-3 decades ago.

    😊❤😊 Thank you for inspiring me over 25 years ago to start traveling the world. Thank you even more for teaching me to carry just a carry on backpack all those years ago. Something I still strongly subscribe to this day.
    Thank you for all of the memories I've made. You are a great teacher.

    Morocco is without question one of Africa's most amazing places. Definitely one to visit and incredibly good value.

    I love seeing the Muslim, Christian, and Jew holding hands in that mural. It’s especially important to see reminders of hope like that these days as we’re all hurting.

    I did a similar itinerary in spring of 2019 and we loved it. We ate at the same place in Moulay Idriss with a great view over the city and got to listen to the call to prayer.

    I just got back from a trip to Morocco. 12days. Sorry you didn't get to visit the desert and ride a camel...next time. It's a wonderful experience. Fes and the camels were the highlights for me. One thing you didn't do was partake in one of the hammams! You need to put that on your list for next time. You can find a great massage and a scrub down for really affordable prices in all the bigger cities. Well worth it.

    You make a mistake with the Moroccan map. Between Morocco and Mauritania there is just Morocco. Or did you find a country between Morocco and Mauritania that we ignore.. if yes give us a Name!!!

    As l have done a trip combining Spain Morocco and portgual before we are going to only do Morocco next year. We were just wondering how much should you haggle with the craftsmen and store keepers when buying goods in Morocco. As a rule of thumb should you offer 50% of their asking price or try for more or settle for smaller discounts. We found some places you could beat them down and sometime they played handball. Very confusing.

    I think you should start a new channel or PBS show called Rick Steves Africa and Rick Steves Asia. We need to educate the American folks about expanding their view points to really understand Asia and Africa better than what the media keeps belching out everyday.

    For someone who spend a lot of time in European countries all of whom are kingdoms except 3 or 4, I found what you said about Morocco being a kingdom very misleading and disturbing. Morocco was a kingdom since Almoravid dynasty since 1050ies. It’s Moroccans choice since then and the least we expect from foreigners is to respect that and accept it just like in Britain or Sweden or Holland ……
