Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
Here's Part 2 of the tour in which I learn a lot about Moroccan history and culture: czcams.com/video/1ZC8PUwjPho/video.html
One of the oldest and fascinating kingdoms in the world, I highly recommend Morocco to anyone.
My father was born in Meknes. Love morocco.❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so happy to see you enjoying Morocco Gabe. Please, make sure to visit The South of Morocco especially at this period of time, the weather is not hot and fewer tourists.
I would recommend you these places: Tiznit, MirLeft, Sidi Ifni. Don't forget to taste the fish there.
I probably won't go to the south this time because I visited that area on my last trip: czcams.com/video/JpCSE8IWuBk/video.html
Amine, that sounds like a learning adventure! Maybe you will be my tour guide when I'm finally able to use my passport?! 😊
جنوب المغرب هو داخلة والكويرة 🇲🇦🇲🇦
Thanks for hooking us up with Abdul. Great tour of Meknes.
He certainly brought you on a comprehensive tour of the city.
What a trip Gabriel! I've been astonished about the intensity of this wonderful experience it was like I was there with you! Thanks for your job!
Congrats on hitting 500 thousand subs Gabe and great video thank you
And what for you? he got the money and greedy like hell 🤑😂😂😂
This entire Morocco series was absolutely amazing. Never seen anything like this. You make me want to pack my bags so bad !!!!
I hope to visit again Morocco 🇲🇦 👍👍👍😘
Looking Well Gabe, fantastic too see you on another wonderful, and another amazing adventure. 😀👌🏻👍🏻👀
Amazing fact (thank you and your guide): the Moroccan imperial cities are not just defined by their history, but also by the rich and contrasting colours of their architecture. Ochre and pink for Marrakesh, the dazzling blue of Rabat, and distinctive but differing shades of yellow for Fez and Meknes.
Fascinating. Off the beaten tourist trails and with a knowledgeable guide. Thanks Gabriel.
Feels like I'm watching Passion of the Christ at 1st. Just curious are girls allowed the just wear jeans and a t-shirt if they want? They seem to dress pretty conservatively.
I love all the archways and tunnels and mazes. Beautiful and interesting city.
Hello 🇲🇦🌷🇲🇦
What an interesting history of Meknes. I am glad you found the tour guides Gabriel.
Great video, it feels so real, like I was there, with the horse, thank you so much
Morocco's just so beautiful, thanks for showing the less touristy places. I've been to Casablanca and Marrakesh. Visited the Yves saint Laurent gardens in Marrakech 😍
A good decision to have the guided tour. I really enjoyed seeing this!
Thanks for a great tour of Meknes! Awesome Berber guide👍Interesting that the Berber alphabet looks kind of similar to Ge'ez script.
What an amazing tour guide! Awesome video man.
So good to see your videos of Meknes. I was there only briefly for lunch on the way to Volubilis - impressive Roman ruins from 2-4 BC with homes that have beautiful mosaic floors and bathrooms with heated floors. If you have time, I highly recommend a day trip to Volubilis. It was so fascinating to see the written Berber language. If was as if I could see its origins in hieroglyphics. Safe Travels, Sylvia
I wish all readers a very Beautiful, Healthy and Blessed Future. Stay Blessed 💕
Emma from London
A delight for the senses. Will be there in the autumn and now I have a feel for things. Cheers!
Hey Gabriel, enjoying these videos because of all the people interactions.. makes for an intriguing watch! Happy travels
I’m learning so much…..Thank you Gabriel….
Great video, keep them coming
I love the tour videos very informative keep one doing the good work
I enjoyed your video. Morocco is not as I expected. I imagined buildings very crowded together, small allyways, like Khan El Kahlili in Cairo. Oh, I see that part, later in the video. The Berber writing that you saw reminds me of hieroglyphics.
I love your videos Gabriel. I feel like I’m traveling with you . Keep up your good work mate!
Glade to see my hometown of Meknes. Most of the places you can find and visit by yourself and most people will help you there for nothing. If you keep the lazy attitude of going by and giving up to those mobs it will only encourage them and make them more aggressive and greedy toward future tourists and even locals (that's how Marrakech was ruined). Furthermore for the ambassadors hall (sad to see the poor state in which it has become), it was the place where foreign delegations came to negotiate the release of their relatives captured during piracy raids. The jail was the place where those captives where held until they were ransomed (At first sight it's not something to be proud of, but Morocco was in war at the time with Spain who occupied numerous Moroccan coastal cities, and that was a way which morocco used to make life difficult on the Spanish in those occupied cities, unfortunately the piracy raids didn't make the difference between Spanish and other Europeans, and therefore many british, dutch and others were also kidnaped and ransomed ) That jail is the topic of many legends among meknassi (of course all of the legends are false), among them that it is way bigger than that and that it was limited, or that people got lost or died there ... The Mausoleum of Sultan Ismail is a very beautiful place unfortunately it seems closed. the old medina is similar to what you will find in Fez or Marrakech, there are however some great spots there, like Medrassa's, Very old mosques, shrines and mausoleums, some very calm ancient alleys. Meknassi traditional cuisine chefs are known to be the best in Morocco. But the cool thing there is the vibe and lifestyle, nice coffee shops and restaurants, everything is at a relatively close distance, and all the interesting spots are nearby (Ifran and Azrou the mountain cities, Fez, Rabat, Atlantic coast beach of My Bouselham, Town of My Idriss, Biggest wine property in North Africa "chateau Roslane", Great countryside and forest nearby, great local fruits: Grapes, Almonds, olives, natural hot springs nearby, also natural freezing cold water sources, Mountains of Oulmes ...)
The tour guide proved very worthwhile.
Hi, if you are still in Meknès, you might visit the Roman city of Volubilis, it is about 24 km from Meknès. Have a good trip in Morocco.
I can’t wait to come to Morocco, hope I can find some hash there
you will find hash cheap in Chefchouan,a city in north of Morocco
Great episode. Loved the section with the underground jail.
Thank you for wonderful video! It is really interesting and motivating! Cannot wait when all of us start travel again! Thank you for helping to promote tourism! love it so much
Loving this series, the layers of history are just amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I am someone who lives in meknes actually.. and harald brought me here somehow. I am glad you filmed this city👍
Amazing educational fantastic video! 🙌
It's pretty funny watching Gabriel trying to comprehend what this guy is trying to tell him. The story changes several times over the course of the conversation.
Wow! Fantastic video , here you can really shop till you drop , get up and shop some more. Very interesting place.
Very interesting video. Love all the fresh fruit in the suqs😃
I’ll be is this city in Oct 2023. Thanks for this intersting video, gives me idea what to expect, see and experience over there!
That guide deserves more than 100 dirhams! Great stuff!
I paid him a lot more. I'll talk about it in the next video.
For the information, they didn't find the limits of the jail until this moment, there's some myth saying that the jail is bigger than the city, and they put an unknown exit who's find it, he's free
Thank you for this excellent video. I have black soap from Africa and had no idea it was from olives. It is great soap !! Wonderful tour guide you had and wonderful questions. Very enjoyable video. They all get along and respect each other. 👍👍
Such a tasteful in rich contexture video Gabe has made, especially at the very end of the film, a long low E pitch sustained underneath with the lady's yodeling style of singing, amazingly beautiful. Bravo again!
Nice video Gabriel, the guy showing you around gave us all a great tour of Meknes, I’ve been to Morocco twice and never heard of that city, but now I have 😀🇲🇦👍
It's actually considered one of the oldest cities in the world. It's known for its rich history. It has also the biggest prison in the world. Its borders are unknown. I've been there many times.
Man! That medieval prison looked like something out of Game of thrones
Damn, this video is so gorgeous.
So graceful,mesmerising,lovely and beautiful pictures!! 🧡💛💯
This is the best video I have come across today.👍❤🤩😂
Hello 🇲🇦🌷🇲🇦
The tour guide talked about gnawa, basically they were black African people brought to work, then they become a part of the sultan army and they known with strength in fighting, as he talked about Portuguese, the sultan had thousands of Europeans, they were brought from the war or Sea piracy, he used them in some work, and for prisoners exchange.
The sultan that we talking about is the sultan moulay Ismael from the Alaouite dynasty, they are still on the Moroccan throne from 400 years ago.

Hello Gabriel, I am loving your trip in Morocco. I have always wanted to go and am so grateful you are taking me there. I prefer the go pro videos. Just a bit better quality and sharper images. Thank you again for all the fabulous images and anthropology education! Gretchen, Southern California
Hi Gabriel,
I’m so glad you are traveling and showing us your story. By the way the GoPro has amazing color! I can see it in the list of videos yours are standing out more because of the color that the GoPro captures. And I am enjoying morocco. Thank you very much for sharing😉
Love the tour and the history with the local guide!
Wonderful!
Thank you!
I like the music goes along with this video, especially toward the end. ❤️
Wow Gabriel this was such a great video I really loved it from beginning to end being a Maroc in American who’s definitely intrigued by his own culture I loved how the tour guide distinguish the difference between the Arabic and the berber culture and language. People think that Morocco is an Arabian country but it had barbar Kings in dynasties and they still do today
A Moroccan by definition is a mix of Berber, Arab and Jewish. That's what makes Moroccan so unique. We used to live here under many Moroccan dynasties between Muslims and Jewish without any problems for more than 1200 years. While all Africa was under European colonization, morocco was there as an independent kingdom until 1912 and the French & Spanish protectorate last only 40 years. That's because of the battle of the three kings between Portugal and morocco in 1500 or 1600 I don't remember where the king of Portugal was killed and all the Portuguese army with him. This caused the fall of Portuguese empire and this made all Europeans fear morocco for more than 3 hundred years after. The king that is ruling over morocco now is from a dynasty called Allaouite that ruled over morocco since 1666. Before these dynastie we had strong Moroccan dynasties that ruled over all North Africa, Spain and Portugal and some sub-Saharan countries. Those dynasties are Almoravids, Almohads and Saadis with Marrakech as the capital of the Moroccan empire at that time. This is why when you visit morocco you will see walls, fortifications, huge gates all over morocco which prove how rich was our history.
This video makes me want to stay in this city. I only passed by here once for lunch.
That tour was awesome, easily worth more than 100MAD
Stay more in morocco .we need to see more informations from you Gabriel
Very interesting. 👍😊
You are very very lucky man to travel around the world, good luck with your journey in life.
Really interesting video. That guy gave you a good tour.
Love this and your guide. Learning so much.
You are the real Hero in real life,thanks for nice Video.
Congratulations on half million people
Very good and informative Gabriel !
This country must have some of the most beautiful architecture in the world .Now I can understand why Spanish and Portugues e architecture are so splendid ,its because of the North African influence

Hi Gabriel, It's interesting how the Berbers culture is intertwined with the Arabs yet language is different I'm sure many things have found there way into both of there vocabularys over the centuries the Berbers have converted to Islam.
Great alcatraz video
I am commenting as long as i am watching.. i just wanna say that the old town and lahdim square .. i mean the market there is always busy. Tbf its not fun being there when its so cracked. So go in the morning.. its nice its calm .. shops get opened.. fresh bread if you want..
Awesome video Gabriel. I really enjoyed it.
A great tour of Menes.
Très belle ville Meknès
Nice market scenes
Hey Gabe , i loved it.
Since you are in Meknes, check out also Volubilis, it is an ancient Amazigh city with a lot Roman influences, It was the capital of the Amazigh Kingdom of Mauretania (It was the early name of Morocco before the current state of Morocco was founded in 788).
Amazigh/berbers where invaded by Romans in 2nd century and there was a lot of cultrual interactions between Greek, Romans, Ancient Egytians and the Amazigh even before. Before a lot of Berbers became Jewish they were pagans and had their own mythological gods that even influenced a lot of what we now know as Greek gods for examples Athena, Poseidon are all Amazigh gods that got introduced in Greek culture. Or Atlas (the mythological Titan) who is told to be carrying the Sky and heavens is derived from a mythological creature of the same name in Amazigh culture that was actually inspired by the Atlas moutains that people believed carried they sky (that's were the who myth came from), another example is how in Amazigh there was a goddess called Ifri (Ifri means cave and it was also the name of an Amazigh war or fertility goddess) the romanization of her name was Africa (Dea Africa) and that's actually one of the most likely origin of the name of the contient.
If you are still going to stay on the region, I would also recommand you pass by Ifrane (a moutain city between Meknes and Fes), it is an interesting looking city there
My grandparents lived in rabhat and suss before they migrated to israel, that why you see so many historical synagogue of Jewish people, 99 precent went to Israel at the 50's or a bit later, or moved to france
My question is why did so many move?
Great tour !
Hello gabriel as you're in the north make sure to visit assliah, tangier, tetouan.
Do you have the guide's info please?? Thank youuuu
Amazing
great tourist guide
Gabe, Outstanding video; just curious, after Morocco, are you planning on crossing the border into Tunisia?
Not sure yet but definitely thinking about it. Algeria is in the way, so I would catch a flight.
It’s true about the leather from Rabat Moroccan leather is famous for quality and handmade ship👍 I understand you can’t buy suverniers everyday, but you should think about upgrading some EDC when your at places like Rabat, so if I was you I would have upgraded my wallet and a nice belt IF needed 😉
