Really useful video. I have been to Marrakech on short trips. Tomorrow I arrive to Marrakech for 16 days and am looking forward to it. Your video has only amplified my excitement and anticipation!
I miss my country so much, love this! Greetings from an amazigh moroccan from the middle Atlas Mountains residing in Canada 🇨🇦 🍁 Thank you for the beautiful content❤
The Atlas lions have not disappeared; they have only become extinct in their natural habitats in the wild. However, they still exist in the Moroccan Rabat zoo, thanks to the royal family, who kept them in their private gardens.
I’m so happy that you chose to visit the beautiful kingdom of Morocco 🇲🇦 I promise that this will not be your last visit. You WILL be coming back again and again. You’re more than welcome at any time ❤ Enjoy!
Really enjoyed this detailed vlog going there next month can not wait although a bit nervous I hope it lives up to expectations Is there any way I can get in touch with Abdul gani he seems like he nos what he’s talking about 😊
Enjoyed video. Was there last week so nice to notice some places i went to. Should have known about paying at the airport coz those lines were hella long! Im noticing the video quality, beautiful. What camera do u use?
The was good wrote a cpl things down maybe visit them, going Jan 16th on my motorbike Glasgow to Plymouth...as long as no snow....ferry Santander 660 miles to the ferry buzzing for it....thanks.
Your next trip you should visit Azamour the birth place of Moustafa Zamouri (Estebanico) the first black man to step on the American Continent and gained his freedom through leadership and courage. Just a thought since you are interested in black history and culture.
You can buy it when you get your ticket. If you fly business or if you have status with your carrier (Gold, Platinum etc) you have access to fast track and the vip lounge.
or you can pay cash when you land but it must be cash. The agent let me pay after they helped us through. She just came with me to get the money and I paid her. Everyone is very nice and welcoming!
Yep just learned that. I think there was extra context that I left out like consistent family name or something. I cant remember bc it was a quick 24 hours.
Interesting to see African treasures and other regions have ended up in Morocco (and many other places) to these curators, this is largely due to the combined forces of colonial looting, trade networks, European interference in African affairs, and the global art market which serves western interests to take and own. Many curators overseeing these collections are from European culture and descent due to the ongoing dominance of Western institutions in the museum and heritage sectors. Efforts should be made to repatriate these treasures and correct historical wrongs.
"marrakech" or Morr Akkosh means the Land Of God in Amazigh (native African language in Morocco), i don't know where he come up with that "To cross quickly"
The first black owned hotel in Morocco? That's incorrect my brother. We have millions of black moroccans who own many hotels all through the country but especially in the south.
Non Moroccan and a five star? Also, I hear that a lot of moroccans dont refer to themselves as black but that was not the case when i went to visit. I never felt so at home! Have you heard that also?
Welcome to Morocco I hope you enjoyed your stay in this magnificent kingdom. To tell you that England is the 4th oldest monarchy, Japan comes first and Morocco is second. I advise you to read the history of Morocco it is just fascinating!!
@@Craiglou Having been there, I can tell you the locals dont like their photos taken UNLESS YOU ASK. Most are adverse to photos, but will accommodate if nicely asked.
Guide he did a mistake the name of Marrakesh should to split to 3 words Amur n Akush which means land of god in tamazight language not as the guide he explained
And not one word about the 1000's of scammers during the daytime and the rippers and hoodlums during the evening/night. Great buildings, great views, poor food; everything tastes like sugar, some friendly people but so sad they threaten and steal from the tourists; their main source of income. Glad i went last week but i'll never be coming back here due to the scammers and rippers.
The oldest monarchie is JAPAN not England. Morocco is up there with the oldest monarchies. But not the second oldest .1 Japan 2 Cambodia 3 Oman 4 Morocco 5 united kingdom. Morocco is the fourth oldest monarchie in the world.
🤣🤣 Correction! The oldest monarchy is Japan, 667 years old, then Morocco in 789 years, then Denmark, please don't talk nonsense. I studied the history of Andalusia and some European monarchies and now I'm diving into the history of Japan and China.
@shirazadaonizuka6980 you haven't got a clue you can't even explain yourself in English never mind your lies about your andalusian historical study. The Japanese monarchie was created 7 centuries before jesus christ According to tradition, the office of emperor was created in the 7th century BC, The role of the emperor of Japan has historically alternated between a largely ceremonial symbolic role and that of an actual imperial ruler.Morocco my country was a sulanate of three different families the last is the alaouites dynastie that originated from Yemen. You are still a student. I'm a professor at the London study academy in Fulham London UK
marhaba in Marrakech... good resumee of all touristic, but not authentic marrakech :) the "women coop" is absolutely not woman's related :) it is a regular antique store :))) and your tour guide knows everyone, because they are partners, he get a percentage on your buys :) please come back and i will show you "real" and friendly locals that are not paid to smile :)
I usually never do but I had to get cash for the fast track. I used an ATM when I got into town after that! Great advice because they usually get you at the airport. Morocco seems to be more of a fair play country where they are trying to ruin tourism through gauging.
@@Craiglou Have you been to Egypt? Cairo, Luxor, Aswan? WAAAAAY worse. $1 USD = 50 EGP cuurency so you can imagine how poverty stricken are some parts of Egypt. Actually had a guy try to grab my expensive Nikon camera, but he got taught a quick lesson. The gouging, touts, sellers actually gave me a headache. I plan to have some euros with me and the local currency.
Hello, the oldest monarchy in the world is the Japanese, the 2nd is the Moroccan, and the 3rd is the British. Thank you for an exquisite video.
Hey thank you for that and you are correct. Maybe it was the one with a family name or some other factor!. Good to know!
That is correct. @@Craiglou
I confirm 👍 👍👍👍👍
Unless England is not part of Europe. Denmark the oldest in Europe! And it is older than the Moroccan Idrisid monarchy. Just saying. Nice video!!!
True
Really useful video. I have been to Marrakech on short trips. Tomorrow I arrive to Marrakech for 16 days and am looking forward to it. Your video has only amplified my excitement and anticipation!

Amazing Marocco
AMAZING!
Great video! How did you get fast track to get out of the airport?
You can buy it when you get your ticket. If you fly business or if you have status with your carrier (Gold, Platinum etc) you have access to fast track and the vip lounge.
or you can pay cash when you land but it must be cash. The agent let me pay after they helped us through. She just came with me to get the money and I paid her. Everyone is very nice and welcoming!
Thanks! What is the cost?
@@AB-gy4sp I think it’s around 40 or 50 bucks
@@AB-gy4sp it was 80 EU for two so around 90 USD
Will you get your drones back? Im really curious
I did, it was a bit scary but I did! I have some shorts about the whole process as well
@@Craiglou ohh damn i am happy that you've got it back tho! Cuz that's so expensive. I enjoyed the video tho thank you!!

The owner of the gallery currently does and has worked with several countries for return and/or showcase in these regions.
Hello, May I please have the link to the hot air ballon? Thank you!
Of course! www.airbnb.com/experiences/2979085
There are like two or three companies offering that tour. Ciel d'Afrique is one of them, and the best one i believe
❤
They kept your drones? So drones not allowed in Marrakesh?
❤❤
"marrakech" or Morr Akkosh means the Land Of God in Amazigh (native African language in Morocco), i don't know where he come up with that "To cross quickly"
The guide was wrong, the name of the city came of the amazigh words "amor n'akoch" wich means "land of god", you can go ans check
I’ve have heard ten different translations as of now.
Welcom🎉 marocvo
Where I can watch the interviews?
There is an article on shoppeblack.com I will get the link for you soon

Guide dont know. The Marrakesh earthquake measured 6.8 on the Richter scale.
That is still scary! Are you and your family okay from it?
Welcome to morocco ❤❤
The oldest monarchie in the world is not England. The Japenese dynasty is older!
I heard that as well but is it continuous. I hear they dont have a family name. Is that true?
Welcome to Morocco I hope you enjoyed your stay in this magnificent kingdom. To tell you that England is the 4th oldest monarchy, Japan comes first and Morocco is second. I advise you to read the history of Morocco it is just fascinating!!
No no you can film there is no laws stops you from filming.respet from morraccan American in Casablanca Morocco right now
Got it! I guess it was just frowned at if you had a camera in someones face that didnt like it. Good to know!

Guide he did a mistake the name of Marrakesh should to split to 3 words Amur n Akush which means land of god in tamazight language not as the guide he explained
According to my knowledge Marrakech (amorakech)the amazigh spelling,means the land of God.
I think there are a few meanings to the world. Depends on who you ask and on what day lol
Agafay is not a desert rather a trap for tourists
And not one word about the 1000's of scammers during the daytime and the rippers and hoodlums during the evening/night.

snobbish encounter of a different Morroco
That guide is not knowledgeable, the word Marrakesh doesn’t mean what he said, it does actually mean the land of God.
marhaba in Marrakech...
good resumee of all touristic, but not authentic marrakech :)
the "women coop" is absolutely not woman's related :) it is a regular antique store :)))
and your tour guide knows everyone, because they are partners, he get a percentage on your buys :)
please come back and i will show you "real" and friendly locals that are not paid to smile :)
that sounds about right. Thats how it is usually all over the world as well. They are all connected. NO hard No foul
Black owned business is such an American concept. The black vs white rhetoric has no place in Morocco. We are all Moroccan and equal.
U experienced the best of the best of marrakeche 😍😍
i like to think so as well!
👍🇲🇦❤👍👍👍👍👍🇲🇦❤👍👍👍👍👍🇲🇦❤👍👍👍👍👍🇲🇦❤
DONT exchange your money at the airport they ask a much higher rate than the local exchange shops
Yep. I land tomorrow and have kept this in mind
