    For the information, there's no Spanish influence on tangier, actually it's the opposite, what you see in Spain especially Andalusia it's the moroccan influence during the Andalus area

  • @yassineb6563

    We moroccans pay on average 10 dh for a let's say a Latté. 8 or 9 dh for a simple espresso. Now if you go to the touristy cafés then you are paying atleast 50% more. So my advice is just choose places where you see only moroccans. Sometimes the distance between tourist and non tourist cafés/restaurants is just a street or an alley away. Another advice is when you shop for things go first for a random item (which you are not interested in) then later on ask for the price of the item you are interested in. The sellers watch the first item that catches your eye and that's the item they will be less keen to lower the price cause they know it's the one you really want. (That's moroccan bargaining 101).

    • @mm-qt6dq
      @mm-qt6dq Před rokem +9

      In fact، the locals ask the seller about the price of one or two items they already know its true prices ! and then they ask the price of anything else that interests them.
      The goal is to find out if the seller is overstating the price or just say the real price! I hope you understand now the reason behind the trick 😁

    You should know that Moroccan empire have been staying in Spain for 8 centuries and our influence in this country and also in all the west side of Mediterranean sea is much more important than the Spanish influence in Tangier that also exists.
    Never say to a Moroccan that he's Spanish !

    It seems like tourists are still have the old idea that morocco is cheap. It is no more the case, it is not like the world gotten expensive but bypassed morocco. Food has gotten expensive, so expect to have a a decent balanced meal for 2 or 3 euros. If u want to eat cheap you are not going to get a decent meal, you will get a lot of starch

    14:45 to point out, about the Jellaba.. I'm originally from tangier and I know well those streets, there are Jellabas that can go up to 400€ over there. It's pretty normal for moroccan women to buy jellabas around 80€. I know there are made in Morocco but that, doesn't mean is cheap, it takes a lot of time to do a pice like that, and the good ones are made by hand. I would say the silver chain was a rip off (because silver is very cheap in morocco), but can't say the same about the jellabas.

    But a quick reminder you're getting things a little wrong cuz Al-Andalus was a Muslim territory that existed in parts of modern-day Spain and Portugal from the 8th to the 15th century. The name "Al-Andalus" is derived from the Arabic word for "the lands of the West." The Moors, as the Muslim inhabitants of Al-Andalus were known, were primarily Berbers and Arabs from North Africa.
    Thank you for the reminder about the influence of Al-Andalus on Spanish architecture. Al-Andalus was a medieval Muslim territory that stretched across parts of modern-day Spain, Portugal, and North Africa. The Islamic culture and architecture that flourished in Al-Andalus during the 8th-15th centuries had a significant impact on the architecture of the region, particularly in southern Spain. The Moors, as the Muslim inhabitants of Al-Andalus were known, introduced new architectural techniques and designs, such as horseshoe arches, ornate tilework, and the use of courtyards. This influence can still be seen in the architecture of cities like Granada, Seville, and Cordoba.
    During the time of Al-Andalus, many cities and towns in Spain and Portugal were renamed by the Muslim conquerors. Some of these names have been retained to this day, while others have been modified or replaced over time. Some examples of cities in Spain with Arabic names include:
    Granada: The name "Granada" comes from the Arabic word "Gharnāṭah", which means "pomegranate". The city was originally known as "Iliya" by the Visigoths before the arrival of the Moors.
    Almería: The name "Almería" comes from the Arabic word "Al-Mariyyah" meaning "The Mirror". The city served as an important port during the Islamic period, and was a major center for trade and commerce.
    Córdoba: The name "Córdoba" comes from the Arabic word "Qurtuba", which means "the city of Cordoba". It was one of the most important cities in Al-Andalus and was the capital of an independent Muslim state during the 10th century.
    Seville: The name "Seville" comes from the Arabic word "Ishbīliyyah", which means "City of Lions". The city was an important center of trade, culture, and learning during the Islamic period.
    Toledo: The name "Toledo" comes from the Arabic word "Ṭulayṭulah" meaning "The Watering Place". The city was the capital of the Visigothic kingdom before the arrival of the Moors, and it served as the capital of an independent Muslim state during the 10th century.
    These are just a few examples, but many other cities and towns in Spain and Portugal have Arabic names that reflect their history under Muslim rule. These names are a testament to the lasting influence of Al-Andalus and the Arab and Muslim cultures that shaped the region for over 700 years.
    I hope you enjoyed your travel 💜

    I was waiting for this episode, so happy that you made it to Tanger! My roots are from Tanger but I was born and I grew up in Germany. I just wanted to drop a comment and let you guys know that the white dress with the green fessi design for 80€ is actually a pretty decent price. Fessi design is usually hand made, and it’s a bridal dress for occasions like henna evenings. It’s true that you always can bargain a little but 40-50€ for kaftans and takshitas is very unrealistic. Tanger is an expensive city in general but the prices regarding kaftans are mostly the same. The tunic for 12€ is just a fabricated dress what explains the price point. You actually pay up to 4000-5000€ for a Designer Kaftan or Takshita and you can buy one or let them being made for 300-800€. Just thought I’ll update you guys about the prices of these traditional Kaftans so you also know what to expect and have an indication! You guys have to go to the playa and to the Ibn Batuta Mall next to it! The area of the kings palace is also one of my favourite to have a nice serene walk at! I just stumbled upon your channel a few days ago and I love your content! I’m super keen about the next videos in Tanger! Greetings from Hamburg ❤️

Secondly the expansive jelaba in the old medina, honestly i'm no expert in artisnal stuff but i was not surprised espacially if it's hand made and made of expansive material, my father sometimes will buy a male jelaba for over 80€. finally about that guy in the hercules cave he was trying to say if you want to take a picture with that traditional millstone that was over there but good for you you dindn't understand him it's not that intersting 😅.

The Rashidun and Umayyad architecture were copies of and improvements on Classic Greco-Roman Architecture. North Africa had its own architecture in the 7 and 8th century, but until then it was pure Latin Pagan Roman. Look at Vollubilis in Meknes. That was the “local” (imported) architecture of the overlord (Juba II the Imazeghn King and Cleopatra Selene, for example) until the time the Idrissi came to the land in the 10th century. The Almoravid and Almohad - the Amazighn North African (now part of Morocco and Algeria) deposed the Umayyad in the Iberia Peninsula and control a big swath of region in North African and Andalusia. They built Koutoubia AND La Giralda - it’s sister tower in Seville, as well as TinMel and the Torre del Oro on Guadalquivir (Wadi Al-Kebir). The style was basically Syrian mix with Visigothic (Umayyad Arches) with brick scalloped embellishments. The Almoravid and the Almohad were in power for about 250 years, and their mission was to purify and free Islam from the excess and debauched lifestyle of the Syrian Umayyad. They were very successful in doing so, as even after they were defeated both in their homeland in North Africa and in the Iberian Peninsula, their version of Islam (more puritanical than the Umayyad and the Abbasid) prevailed, as well as their Architecture Contribution. Mudejar Style in Spain - widely popular among the Christian Spanish Kings and Queens - was a continuation of Almohad and Almoravid architecture movement, still in used after the people who made them famous long gone. -- Moroccan Hammam, for example, was introduced to the Almoravid by their Umayyad overlord. The Umayyad - originally Hejazi - learned that concept and perfecting it (replacing the communal pool with the flowing water in the Tepidarium) learned it from the Arab Christian Syrians who have been practicing Greek Culture for several centuries by the time Omar The Caliph and Khalid ibn Al-Waleed (you know who they were, right?) conquered Damascus in the beginning of the 7th century. The Arab Christian in Syria learned about Hammam / Bath from the Roman, who embraced Greek culture since Rome was created. “Hypocaust” or Hypo Caustum ~ Fire underneath (Latin), the heating system that is still used today in the Mouassine Hammam in Marrakech was originally Greco Roman, widely found in Baths in England, France, Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Damascus and Jerusalem. Firm ditto with the use of Mosaic in all religious buildings, Benita church, mosque or synagogue. It is not a coincidence that the Golden Dome in the Temple Mount in Jerusalem looks like a Baptistery of a Byzantine Church; the architects and artisans were all Christian Byzantines -- This is why if we go to Amman (Jordan), Damascus, Cairo, Tunis, Malta, and Sicily and study the building that were built within the first millennium, they look almost identical; the Greek Christian in Constantinople, the Abassid Muslim in Baghdad, the Alghabid Caliph in Tunis and Malta, and a bit later the Arab-Norman Kingdom in Sicily all refer to the same architecture style; Greco Roman. -- The contribution of the Andalusian architecture in the mix actually came from the Visigoth - the Germanic tribe who used to rule Hispania before the arrival of Tariq Ibn Ziyad and Musa Ibn Nusayyr; The Horse-shoe arch. The Visigoth Horse shoe arch has a round top, the Umayyad horse-shoe arch - like the Moroccan (or Almoravid and Almohad) has a slightly pointy top. The proportion themself are identical, only the Spring-points are shifted in the Umayyad style, however slightly, creating that pointy top. What is original of the Almoravid and Almohad architecture was the use of thin hard-bake bricks on exposed surfaces. That material was indigenous of North African and its used later was widely copied in Andalusia. Prior to the Almoravid period, only the stone part of a structure - mostly at the bottom and around the corner, the “Quoins” - were exposed. The bricks were plastered and the arches were made of stone. The Romans, and hence the Syrian and the Umayyad Hejazi, knew bricks and used them extensively. But they used them in different manner and style. --- There is one material that was originally pure Moroccan invention but also very popular in the Iberian Peninsula; Zellige.

    I lived in Tangier for 3 months two years ago (I live in Portland, Oregon, USA). I was hoping to see the French cafe with a view of Spain that I went to 3-4 times per week for a delicious breakfast and coffee! LOL I must go back. I lived quite close to Cape Spartel (I can NOT recommend the restaurant's "hamburger) but I still have lots of pictures of Cape Spartel on my phone! Watching your videos of Morocco has inspired me to go back to see parts I never made it to. Thank you!

    While looking out for getting ripped off, you sometimes miss out on some good opportunities and end up buying fancy but cheap stuff guys. It is actually good to bargain but there are things at times that are worth the price. Im saying this as the same thing applies to locals regardless of being a tourist.

    Hi there,
    Concernant the djellaba you wanted to buy your mother..800dhs was a reasonable price...
    The djellabas can go from 150 dhs to 5/6 thousand dhs( depending on the fabric and the way made: hand made or machine made)
