My mom is Moroccan. I visited with her a few years ago and tried haggling in the souk. The shop owner offered 50 dirham for some trinket. I offered 25 dirham and he accepted. I was happy with my purchase until my mom told me it was worth 10 dirham!

Sounds exhausting 😓
You don't need to bargain or haggle with taxi driver, don't even ask them for the price. have them to use the meters.
yes that's what we usually do
This comment need to be pinned so other people can see it
most taxis don’t have the meters in Morocco and when they do it’s a known scam for them to overcharge on the meter as well.
the issue with that is tourists dont know the way to their destination so taxi drivers sometimes take a muuuuch longer route.
I'm morrocan,and i agree 100%.
I went to Morocco in March and I loved every single thing about my trip. AMAZING COUNTRY. everyone just go to Morocco😍😍😍
I am and Moroccan and if I go to Paris I have to go to Morocco.well It’s a 3 hour flight.😃😄😁 edit: I love my country.

Amazing video. I'm Moroccan and I can say that you were right about most things, except for stray cats, most of them are so nice and some will run away but it would be very nice if you try to play with them or feed them something because those poor things there have no one to take care of them and may die of hunger sometimes too.
And I just want to add one more DON'T to your DON'TS, don't come to Morocco when it's Ramadan because you will be disappointed, many restaurants and stores are either not working or have only night shifts because most Moroccans are fasting during the days of this month of Ramadan. And you can look at the calendar when it's Ramadan every year.
forgot about that
I was a little dissapointed he didn't explain more about the cats. I wonder what his reasoning was, because I think in most places around the world petting stray cats is ok.
Morocco is classed as an endemic region for rabies and therefore very high risk of infection from stray animals, this is probably where the stray cat don't comes from unfortunately
How come a person can say such things like don't pet stray cats etc :) Ridiculous. One of the most lovely cats I have ever seen there. PET THE CATS FEED THE CATS, RESCUE ANIMALS IN EVERYWHERE, and ignore people who give such messages publicly.
@@jon6123 it's usually only dogs who have rabies, and it's far from endemic
As a young Moroccan I always try to help other people from other countries because it makes me feel happy when I help them without even expecting anything from them
Please do review this
I'll love to visit morocco one day
From what I understand. Helping travelers/ foreigners is highly encouraged in Islam.
@@expatbiker6598 i am a Moroccan too god, homeland king!
Please make a channel about living in Morocco as a Moroccan.
@@X-Prime123 why ?
Some clarifications:
- Tap water is drinkable in most places
- Small taxis (e.g. red ones in Casablanca) do have meters and are actually obliged to use them, so make absolutely sure to ask the taxi driver to turn it on instead of bargaining the price beforehand cause they'll most probably rip you off. If they refuse, go for another taxi. One more thing is that the price will be the same if you're one person, two or three.
- Grand taxi (e.g. white ones) doesn't just mean "big", it's actually another type of taxi that does a specific trip back and forth between two points and can stop anywhere along the way, the difference is that it doesn't have a meter, but charges a fixed price per person, and can take up to 6 people.
For a trip of seven hours what is better to choose, a grand taxi or a bus?
@@GaiaHedonia I don't think there is a grand taxi that does a seven hour trip. Most of them do in-town trips, or trips between two close cities. So you'll have to take a bus. The best bus company is called CTM, more expensive than normal buses but trust me the difference is HUGE. You can even go for premium if you can afford it (they have an official website that you can look up). Another company, a bit less expensive, is called STCR, pretty good too :) Safe travels!
@@TheHypnotizedHeart thank you very much for your useful information! I would go for the premium but from what I have read on the internet there is not such a line between Marrakech and Zagora. It's going to be CTM. 🙏💓💙💚💛🇲🇦
@@GaiaHedonia Ah yes, for that line CTM only does two trips. You'll be fine with the "Confort Plus" one that leaves around midnight and arrives early morning. My advice for you is ALWAYS choose CTM over normal buses whenever it's available, their drivers are very professional; whereas others can be really reckless at times.
If you have any other questions don't hesitate :) Good luck!
@@TheHypnotizedHeartI am so grateful for your help. CTM looks fine! 💛💐
I live 3 years in Morocco until now and water it`s good everywhere.
Water is good everywhere my ass
im moroccan and i dont drink tap water. There are some exceptions where some areas have automatically mineral or highly filtered water coming straight from the tap but thats rlly rare
@@lailaelhalib9799 where do you live? Casa rabat knitra?
@@WatchTheLadyOfHeaven313 haha loser
Most cities have bad tap water in Morocco, i'm Moroccan and i know people whom got kidney failures and tap water was the reason and they are Moroccans born and raised in Morocco. There are regions where they get the water from mountains that's the kinda of water you can drink other than that stick to bottle waters.

In morocco there are two types of taxi:
"Petit taxi" : small taxi, it takes you to whatever place you wish to go to within the city, and the price is decided with a counter in Dirhams, so pay attention to the taxi driver, and ask him to turn it on if he forgets or doesn't do so.
"Grand taxi": big taxi, and you pay for your seat, riding with other people, for a specific ride between two taxi posts either inside the city, or between cities, you can still get out of the taxi in the middle of the route to destination.
Beware that taxi prices are generally slightly higher in night times.
B4ina s4ir hhhhh
taxi’s are very cheap in morocco in general

I had the pleasure to study abroad in Morocco at AlAkhawayn University studying Arabic and I enjoyed it! I have been to Agadir to visit a friend. I will return in June to go see my best friend and bring some gifts that I know he will need or want. I will stay in Mohammedia for the peace and quiet! But will be going to Marrakesh, Fes, Essouira for Argan oil and Tangiers. I will definitely see my other friends from other cities! I can't wait to eat Bastilla, breywa, msemen, and of course tagine! I love the food, the ambience, the people and the pride they take pride in having a clean country; unlike some other countries I have visited!♥️

Morrocan mosques were kind of a culture shock for me as a Malaysian Muslim: usually Malaysian mosques are open at almost all times (except far late at night) for travellers' conveniences to stop and rest at any time. The guide for my family told us we had to rush to pray as these mosques would be immediately closed after prayers, so me finding that out was pretty eye opening to me.
Interesting, good to know. So they even close the masaajid to other Muslims?
I have been visiting Morocco every year for the last 10 years. You can’t get enough of it if you know your way around. Beautiful country, rich culture and welcoming people
I visited it for 9 years because of Covid lmao(we weren’t visiting Morocco in 2020).
Could we connect over email for a quick itenarary..we are visiting next year and would like some pointers
Hey man I’ve taken 16 solo trips abroad now and you’re videos have been a huge help when I’m traveling. I really appreciate your videos! Keep it up!
I love when mature people travel
As someone that goes to Morocco couple of times each year, the country is amazing. The people are so friendly and the vibe is unmatched, in 10 visits I've never seen a physical altercation or out of hand argument.
The places are so beautiful, the people are friendly, food is fresh and delicious and it's very affordable.
Haggling is part of the experience and I can safely say that 25-50% off from initial price is nothing, most times you need to go 90% off for a realistic price as a foreigner. Most pieces are mass produced and a lot cheaper in Casablanca than Marrakech.
If you're visiting for a while then I'd stick to a normal hotel that's not a Riad as long stays in a Riad can be uncomfortable. Possibly spend 1 night in a Riad and rest in normal hotel for the experience
I love how he is promoting the country and the culture more than moroccas themselves, and everything he said is accurate, it's quite impressive for someone who has only visited the country to know so much about it
I am French citizen with a moroccan ethnic background.
I think that your advices and your depictions of morocco are pretty fair and balanced.
Your are promoting tourism in morocco without misleading potential visitors.
I am impressed. How much time did you spent for being so familiar with this country ?
keep going with providing good content.
Take care
just for info : we dont do bargaining with taxis in morocco
Mdr for foreigners it's another story man they need to bargain especially if it's the small taxi , But it depends on the taxi driver actually .
@@goldofox5111 You don't have to bargain, just learn the French sentence for "turn the distance meter on" and walk away if they reject. I am half Moroccan and went with a European friend to Casablanca last year and they constantly didn't turn on the meter until I mentioned it. You do bargain with Grand Taxi's though as a foreigner especially when you're going to another city, they tried to get me to pay 500 Dirham to get from Rabat to Casablanca.
@@jarumboy1 I agree with you but the fact is that there are some taxi drivers who have a malfunctioning distance meter which they could use to their benefit or to tell you that it's not wotking and that they will decide the price .And for someone who's from europe for example , taxis are expensive so 500 Dhrs =50 Euro is a understandable price , but this price in Morocco is out of the question .
As a foreigner, I would never go back to Morocco. It is not fun when everyone tries to scam you because they think you dont speak french. Want fresh fruit? Vendor forgets how to count. Want to ride a taxi? Driver forgets to turn on meter. Want to buy an "antique" bag? That will be $300 USD. Waste of time.
I do, some taxis here don't have the counter so they charge you double or even triple
I have traveled all over Morocco and I can attest that the advice provided here is good. Treating locals with respect the same way you want to be treated has served my travel buddy and I on all the countries we have visited and we're well received and warmly welcomed.
My husband is Moroccan. We went last year and stayed for a month. Even that wasn't time enough to see everything. We went to Fes, Martil, Tetouan, Chefchaoun, Rabat, Tangier & Zerhoun/Volubilis. The last few days there I was getting homesick and couldn't wait to get back to the US. Strange enough, it's been some months since being there and I really miss it. Feels like a second home.
Lived here in Morocco for 18yrs now, simply put it is now my home. I like your pointer videos as you clearly do your homework, I cannot fault them.
Hi I read foreigner get only for 10 years the resident amd you are already 18 years there how you did this?
I plan to live there and it will be good to know someone that can help me to get lots of information, especially to emigrate there, right now i am in spain but this register issue is too bad here in europe, even i have an europe passport aswell another one.
Would estimate to get help especially because you are living a long time there sure you know a lot of this country, I would love to live there. If you have an email adress we can get in touch. Thank you in advance, rosangela

This was a great thorough video! Much appreciated!
Heads up: I've lived here for the past two and a half years. Most things are spot on! I've seen a growing increase in credit card machines both in restaurants and some shops in the medinas. It truly depends so make sure you ask! You can buy train tickets with a debit card (not credit) no matter which country you're from (I just did on Saturday with my American). I have both Moroccan and American accounts. I would also say that tipping isn't necessarily a part of the culture here in all places. Of course if people go above and beyond, you should tip but tipping culture is more similar to that of Europe than the US. Good work though!
Morocco is a sweet country..and so many nice people:)
Welcom in morocco anytime
I agree Morocco is a beautiful and sweet country
Yeah, a "sweet country" where Christians are beheaded(ex the Norwegian female tourists) and where Europeans are scammed at every step! I wouldn't step a foot in that dangerous ghetto-country, not even for free!

Amazing landscapes, fascinating history and friendly people. Tourism is a big part of the economy so we always felt safe and followed common sense rules the guides would provide. Personally my second trip in 45 years since backpacking in 1977!!
I just came back from Morocco. I stayed for 1 month. I stayed long in Casablanca. I went to chefchaouen, agadir and Marrakech. I looooooove Morocco.

As a moroccan I want to give you a little heads up about this video : it's 100% true and accurate 😁🇲🇦❤
You have been useful , thank you
I don't think the bargaining has anything to do with being female or male xD I'm a female myself and I'd say women do way more bargaining than the men in morocco..
So true saying that as a moroccan guy
Its not true for us locals, especially our moms can be the masters of bargaining the hell outta everything they see, and actually get it at the price they want.
As for tourists idk.. SOME vendors might take advantage of the inexperience (in moroccan bargaining) and kindness of female tourists and expect to sell their items at max price. You must look strong minded and inhesitant ( and visibly shocked if the price is too much ) Lower the price to half, and if he doesn't accept pretend you're leaving the shop...and other techniques
@@humanllusion590 Yes, it's true that as a foreigner u most likely won't get a good price. He was saying something along the lines of "men do it better" kinda or that women aren't able to get as good prices as men. When in reality as u said, moms do it the best

Hi Mark,
As a Moroccan follower who has been living in both Marrakech and Casablanca for a while, I say you are pretty on point on everything you said!
I hope you enjoyed your stay here!
Hello Nizar, I am planning a trip to Morocco, I am looking for local people to go around the country. My email is mewcay@hotmail.com
Very good coverage about the ethics when visiting Morocco, well exept the water (tap water is safe to drink from) and the always removing shoes in home ( it depends on the family) and the taxi ( you just read the price in the counter if it is not on tell him to start it the minute you get in but if there were passengers before start counting from the last number you saw written) but everything else is pretty spot on. As a Moroccan i thank you for this video and for the encouragement to visit it 🇲🇦💕🤗
Sahara is an amazing experience that most of tourists may not choose due to distance but don’t forget direct flight ✈️ from Casablanca to Errachidia which is closed city to desert 🐪. Thanks for logical advices that might not be available in other social media 😊🇲🇦

Ooh
Well done, thanks for the travel info.
I am so excited to travel and yet I am so broke right now. It's coming soon and I look forward to experiencing these countries!
I lived/worked in Morocco for a few years quite a few years ago (I lived in Casablanca and visited many other places too of course, usually driving in my car, or occasionally travelling with friends, both foreign & Moroccan, in their cars), and have visited it a number of times since. In fact I actually passed my first driving test there (I took it in French, although I could just as easily have taken it in Arabic). I'd say this is a pretty good guide for novice visitors to this part of the world, although of course it is generally more open to western tourists than many other Arab countries, and I've lived in a number, but there are certain cultural differences you do need to be aware of and observe so the guidance here will prove very useful.
Driving in Morocco is an experience unto itself! Crazy but satisfying LOL

Villages those are around or located in the state/ province of Larache deserve special attention and praise. They are picture perfect as most of these villages are located on the mountains. While you drive you can enjoy these villages from highways. All the villages have their own mosques located on the higher grounds. And don't forget to visit the only blue city of the world - " Chefchaoun ".
I really enjoyed my trips to Morocco, such a beautiful country and very rich in history and culture. Definitely worth a trip. My advice is to learn the numbers in French for bargaining even though most people especially arround the markets speak english fairly well. I personally love the seaside of Essaouira and Rabat. There are dozens of magnificent places out there.
Thank you Wolter! So much useful information.
Thanks Andy
I've visited Morocco twice, and I confirm most of the things you say. In addition, I would highlight the recommendation for the ladies to wear as modestly as possible and expect a lot of catcalling and starring. Also, learning a couple of Arabic or French words ahead of the planned trip would help. Beautiful country and people, lots of excitement and things to do.
It's because most of us are conservative
Can you confirm what he was talking about regarding the cats? He didn't explain why you couldn't pet them. Is it a cultural reason, or possibly a health reason?
@@MultiKswift Because they sleep and eat in the streets, but all cats clean themselves, so do not be afraid to pet them, and if you see a sick or injured cat, then do not pet him
Your videos are great, thanks dude!

Morocco is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. I love Moroccan people they few I met are peaceful and amazing. I love Moroccan cultures, foods and weather especially summer. I'm currently living in oujda and oujda is doing me well now. I have been to Rabat, Casablanca and oujda. All I can say Morocco is more beautiful.

Welcome
Excellent. Wish I’d seen this before I visited a few years back. And well done for calling football - football and not soccer 😎
Another outstanding and informative video, Wolter...just in time for Morocco reopening on February 8th, 2022!!
My friend and I went to Marrakech, Morocco last December 2019, and I completely agree on this : Don't think everyone helping you is doing it to help you. But overall, it was fun, especially when we haggled 400 dhs for a Djellaba but just at the next store sells it for 250 dhs only.
Lesson: bargain and start from rock-bottom price hehe
It cost 150 - 180 dhr
@@mnb5161 hhhhhhhhhhhhh lol
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@@mnb5161 hhhh yes my friend. 150 MAD
