NETFLIX CORRECTION: I stupidly stated the annual UK cost with the Moroccan monthly cost, so I am putting that right, here. Annual Moroccan Netflix is 1,080dhs or £86.65 compared with the £135 annual cost of Netflix in the UK - It is still a significant gap compared to the gap between the cost of Netflix in the two countries in 2020.
ARE you trying to distract the moroccon people from the Genocide that is going in Gaza with this Topic ?????
The base salery in morocco is 3000 dhs : the cost of a gym membreship.
You need to compare the pourcentage of each cost to the salery. For example iphone = 3 month salery in morocco ...
welcom to morocco good luck to you old man great video like from me
If you are European and have reached retirement age, Morocco is a good choice for stability, and you will certainly benefit from the tax differences between the two countries, which is reflected in the cost of living.
1 food gaz bottle lasts for 1 to 2 months max for a family of 4, the heat one lasts 2 to 3 months if buckets are used and you wash twice a week.
The cost of living in Morocco is very cheap for Foriegners from European states compared to native Morocans. A regular Moroccan still suffers and struggls with life necessities on a daily basis, as most of them recieve minimum wages range between( 220 dollars to 350 dollars a month). However, in morocco we still have solidarity, love, and a strong family bonds. We love this country of ours, its people, and its King. Long live Morocco.
I can't sum it up better than this. 😢
The average salary is $550-650

I am Belgian, I have lived in Morocco for a little over 10 years.
Living in Morocco with €, £ or $ in your pocket and earning a living in these currencies gives the impression of financial ease.
But when you work and earn your living in dirhams I can guarantee that life in Morocco is excessively expensive, much more expensive than the UK or Europe. And apart from the very pleasant climate, life in Morocco is far from easy. Impossible to make a real comparison, surviving in dirhams or living in pounds (euros or dollars)... it's not at all the same fight
I know it is not easy if you are paid a Moroccan wage. Towards the end of the video, I do acknowledge that Moroccans have suffered from the cost of living crisis. Poor people in both countries have. I think there is a view in Morocco that the UK can't be all that bad as it is a "developed" nation, but people are suffering a lot in the UK.
80% of what you say isnt acurate ! I lived in UK for 3 years, then i went to live in Barcelona, and i can say that cost living in Morocco is better than UK and Spain.

As a Moroccan I totally agree that the cost living in Morocco is incredibly low compared to that of the UK; but only if you get a European paycheck. So good luck surviving in Morocco if you earn a Moroccan wage, given the fact that way more than 50% of us earn less than 300£/month.

As a Moroccan i can say that the prices given are pretty much accurate, only for gas bill most of Moroccan we only use gas bottle for cooking , i think in the UK gas bill included cooking and heating., but again morocco isn't known for very cold weather, so you will be fine with AC and heating equipment that use electricity. another change that i think you should notice in the future is you will find more Moroccan could communicate in English.
Most ppl use two bottles of gas or more at home one in the kitchen and others to heat water in the bathrooms
It's true that in the UK, we use gas for both, so it costs morem but also the reason it is expensive is because the unit price of gas is much higher in the UK than Morocco.
I live in Fes city, really cold in winter, ultra hot in summer, I have 3 air conditioners (huge one = 36k BTU, the second two = 11k BTU), in summer they work nearly full day, and I pay less than 2000/2500 Dh/m for that... if the same situation in the UK, all your average salary won't be enough for that...
also, I use one of the most modern and sophisticated central heating in the market at home (energy hungry) that works 24/24 in the winter time, including floor-walls heating/water heating/etc, it takes between 6 to 8 gas cylinders, so less than 30£/m, you can't even imagine doing that in the UK with an average or higher income!!
So Gari is right, if you take the small things in daily living, Morocco is by far a better place to live if you have a good income!!
Well it's really cold in the Atlas in the village where we live...snows most winters
ليس من العدل ان نقارن دولة لها ممتلكات خارج ترابها وتأتيها منها الخيرات مع دولة تعيش محصورة في جغرافيتها . ولكن رغم ذلك فالدولة العظمى تستقدم ابناء المناطق الخارجية ليشتغلوا في معاملها ومزارعها وتنسى ان لديها يدا عاملة تحتاج لذلك العمل : بكل بساطة لأن المهاجر يقبل الأجرة التي لا يقبلها الساكن الأصلي في الدولة العظمى .

As not a petrol or gas country, it's developed and hospitals are in good shape, do not mislead people here
Nice video! Price of cooking gas in Morocco is subsidized. That's why it's cheaper than in the UK. But that's will soon change as the government is considering to lift the subsidy and replace it with a direct aid to people who are entitled to it.
Yeah, I heard about that. It will be interesting to see what the people's reaction to it will be.

@@GariSullivan but why?
Health insurance is the worst thing you could find in Morocco it's almost absent because if you want to get cured you need obligatory to go in a private hospital.
if the price remaind the same people in Morocco would have been happier than ever, the living quality here is below bad, unemployment levels has incredibly increased in the start of 2023. even I who's speaking got sustainable heavy damages during this crisis, No jobs, high prices, public education teachers are getting canceled, the daily living here is only suitable for the rich. anyways thanks Gari for making sure everyone is having a good quality life.
I know I am in a lucky position in Morocco.
Thx for this video a lovely video featuring my country ❤
Huge thanks for this outstanding video. There must be too much work involved in it. Thanks again 👍🏼👍🏼😁
Thank you for your appreciation. Yeah. It took me about two weeks to put the video together, plus the time in the UK (where I filmed first) planning how I was going to join the Moroccan and the UK parts together.
I’m buying a flat in Tetouan for £60000. Will be retiring in Morocco in 5 years time. Preparing early before prices go up as we get closer to the World Cup 2030 when Morocco will be cohosting this wonderful sporting event. Morocco 🇲🇦 is a great value and developing country.
I couldn't agree with you more
@@GariSullivanunfortunately the brits don’t know that Morocco going though a transition towards democracy (via modernity - which will take longer, but that’s another debate 😜. Some Europeans still think Morocco has camels in every street corner. They still think of Morocco of 1980s…
Well done, Tetouan is a brilliant choice. Good luck to you khouya!
@@adamlasry5225 democracy? lol the gays are still being discriminated and much more
Well what makes life is a bit expensive in Morocco is when you want to consume foreign market like cars electronics and so on, so for example buying a phone, tv, motorcycle, its many times average salary here, and also the public school it sucks so you have to give your half salary for your 2 kids for private school,
And also used cars are hell expensive.
I think the good combination is to work in uk and save money and back to morocco buy a house and start a business
Really appreciate the efforts made in the making of this video. The prices are accurate, but, as many have said in the comment section, the differences in wages in both countries are huge. When you are talking about some prices staying the same, we can also argue that it's because the general salary stays the same as well.
It is true that wages are significantly different. Chjeck out my video on life on minimum wage in Morocco and the UK. czcams.com/video/I5eGHJoXrRY/video.html You'll see that there are a lot of similarities when it comes to life choices and financial sacrifices.
A very good comparison you have made. With this info I’m weapon to start a discussion at home which was for long outstandingly
Thanks for making this, I have lived for more than 2 years between Europe and the Middle east, then came back to my home country, one thing I'm sure about, the quality of life in foreign countries decreased, my quality of life in Morocco is higher
That's my experience, also.
depends on the salary with the common salary u will suffer
Your videos are awesome love it! ❤
Thank you, so much. I really appreciate your comment as this took WEEKS to put together.
@@GariSullivan yeah true it's really hard to make such as professional and detailed subject like this.
it's not about the monthly cost it's about the culture , here in morocco we live as a one community and it doesn't matter where do you live , rich or poor, or even the ideas what it actually matter is that you are one of us , we help each others , consultation , Condolences and we

@@choto271 No, he is not my god or anyone's god because he was made up by a human (Muhammed) in a random book. The only reason you are talking about a ''god'' is because of an Arabic book called the Qur'an. We CANNOT know the real god. The FACT that nature exists does NOT prove that the Quran is true. If some hindu told you ''Brahma is your God'' Brahma created you, not Allah, whether you want to or not'' how would you react?

great video ,very informative , one thing about gaz prices : in morocco a gaz bottle will not last 3 months , its 1 month at best for a family of 4 ( which is average ) and we usually have 2 bottles at the same time , one for cooking and the other for showers
I have lived in Rabat for almost ten years. I can say from personal experience that I change my gas bottle every three months. I can almost time it to the day - certainly the week. That is my personal experience that is almost a decade long. Obviously, if you are a family, the bottle is not going to last as long, but as a single person, with a decade of personal experience, I can say my claim is true.
@@GariSullivan good for you !
Welcome back !
Great video. To be honest I was waiting for more comparisons like private school (which is a must nowadays for Moroccans) and also in terms of individual income and minimum wage. As a Moroccan, I've noticed that in Europe you get 3 times more than the salary you may get in Morocco with the same work/experience. With that, I guess having 3 times the income of a Moroccan can cover the high expenses in the UK, but it's hard to survive with the Moroccan salary in Morocco with those prices.
You might be interested in my video about life on minimum wage in the UK and Morocco. czcams.com/video/I5eGHJoXrRY/video.html You'll see some differences, but there are similar financial sacrifices made in both nations.

Thanks for your efforts
Thank you. You did a good job
As a Moroccan i confirm that's very accurate , good job .still the prices for average Moroccans are at all time high and extremely expensive
I would say Morocco is a very good option if someone in Europe wants to live here, it offers good climate, delicious food, beautiful nature, and most importantly, it is very cheap. Although it's a bit "tough" to get things here (the gaz bottles for example), it still remains a good destination where you can find most of what you need for a very cheap price.
Medical care suffers
@@newage6764 Yes i agree in this point, although it is progressing slowly. That is one of the reasons why Morocco's HDI is low.
u can get the gas bottles delivered to u for an extra $1 tip or something, just ask store owner
@@bussin1337 Yes that's true.

About gaz.. it's freezing in Uk so don't be so surprised! In Morocco it's mostly used for cooking
Spot on! Morocco is very suitable for someone who works online. He'll live as a king.
can u tell me more pls
@@samtalk328 I mean if you're foreign and making money online.. Morocco would be perfect place to live in. No tax and sheap bills comparing with Europe.. same food quality & services except health care you have to pay.
@@samtalk328he means digital nomads
the stated prices for things like food and travel can vary widely depending on the location, coffee for example in my city is still at 7 dh for almost every cafe you will stumble upon, food is mostly uniform in price except in a major city like rabat where it is expected to cost a dirham extra per kg, same for gas, and bus (which is 3.5 dirhams in fes) price can go up or down by a dirham depending on the location. and finally on wifi a fiber 20mbit/s is 250 dirhams and up, most of the population has the 20mbit package.
all in all you could as someone comming from europe, easily go even cheaper than what is stated in the video. great video.
It's true that you can go cheaper. I made the decision to go with the high end of prices in Morocco and the low end of prices in the UK, so people know that is about the closest the financial gap between the two countries. I could have chosen a small village in Morocco and London in the UK, but I don't think that would have been as helpful.

Hi Gari I hope you well
I am Moroccan and I lived in the UK for nearly 15 years
There's not such thing called TV licence in Morocco
We have electricity bill nearly 200 Dh a month and in the UK the smallest electricity mount you can pay is around 80 pound if you are using it carefully.
Also we do have council tax and yearly my family pays 1000 Dh a year and I pay for council tax 142 pound a month
Bus fare here in Cardiff is 2.40 pound for a single in Morocco is 5Dh .
Incomein Morocco : we have VAT which is 20%
Income in the UK: 20% VAT + National insurance + Pension
There is a hug gab f cost of living between Morocco and the UK.
It's extremely expensive here.
Rent in Morocco : 1000 Dh you can have two bedroom flat
Rent in the UK: one bedroom flat is nearly 1000 pound

I felt I had to do Rabat and Newcastle, because those were the cities I focused on in the last Cost of Living video.
I do have a video of my trip to the mountains coming quite soon. I will start the edit today. As you probably know, it takes me a couple of weeks to edit my videos.
Finally someone tells facts about morocoo :D
Also i live in Morocco
I agree with the video yes for expats Morocco will be great as your money will go a long way and better life. However a Moroccan on 3000 dh will struggle a lot that’s why they credit with shops etc . Also medical is expensive in Morocco I personally think you could live very comfortably in morocco with 1000gbp a month. That’s everything covered whereas here in the uK that will just about pay your monthly rent
12:32 its actually the opposite ... the cost of living increased massively while the wages staying the same .

Great video so far, just to clear up a mistake you've made: car tax is starting at 350dh for petrol and 700dh for diesel for small engine cars, rising all the way to 1500dh, 3000dh and beyond for higher powered/larger cars that have a higher fuel consumption.

First thanks and million thanks for this precious comparison between the two countries, this is equally important for folks from Great Britain who are planning to visit our country Morocco, so they can plan their financial situation ahead of time.
However, just a little remark regarding the cost of living here in Morocco as opposed to England, and that is the difference in purchasing power here in Morocco, which is depending primarily on wages, and salaries, and also the pricing, which is also determined by the size of the economy here in Mirocco Vs the size of its pair in Egland....!
Nevertheless, it is very important and very educational comparison...

'Ouvrier ' this is French word for Operator; a factory operator. Sorry for the mistake
Gas is not used for heating only for cooking. Therfore to heat your home we use electricity and that increase the bills massively .
Thanks Gaei
Outstanding effort !
I think the solidarity of the Moroccan ppl helps a lot in terms of food and gas expenses.
In general, Morocco is the cheapest version of a « pseudo-European » country and that’s so attractive for tourists and western residents.
In terms of the electricity and gas bills, i think that, after the X-Links Power project, the UK will have the opportunity to control those exponential rises by working on expanding this strategy of decarbonized energy.
I totally agree with you when it comes to the solidarity of the Moroccan people. There is certainly a culture of helping each other out. It's a culture that you do see in the UK, but not as much or as passionately as you do in Morocco.
With regard to the X-link power project: I am sure the UK government and private energy industries will work together against the British people to make sure your average pleb doesn't benefit.
Yes, I agree.
Culture of helping each other ? 😂😂
The cost of banking is 0.7£ per mounth in other banks + Rabat is the most expensive city in morocco, you can have a house for a 2000 DH per mounth in other cities
It's true that BMCE is one of the most expensive banks. I need to consider changing.
@@GariSullivan having tried 3 banks i recommend BANQUE POPULAIRE (don't work for them) but they are good no complaints to be honest also available everywhere.
lived there t 8 years ago rabat cost around 150dh a day good food out and energy drink and gasoline a day at least .t rent 9000dh .electricity 600dh internet 250dh GYM 200 DH .... so was around 15000dh to 17000 dh a month for me alone as student my art school was around 4000dh art supply computers phones digital gadgets so expensive for no reason.. even majority of people earn under 7000dh the minimum wage was 3000dh no idea how they manage to survive on that
Wait what? You paid 9000dh for your rant? That's insane..
I hope to visit the UK one day and wherever there is a kingdom I love it
You are welcome in morocco sir as well as everyone in the uk I will ad something the cost of living is less expensive in the smaller cities you can do much more saving exemple in my city best gym will cost you 500 dh per month maybe less for a year subscription ,fresh food meats fish are presented every morning with a very good price and you will not need transportation very often
It is true that the cost of things vary from city to city and town to town in the UK and Morocco. In the end, I have to pick a price that I feel reflects the general cost of something. I know you can get Mars Bars for less than 9dhs, but if I give a higher than normal price in Morocco and a lower than average price from the UK, it makes the difference more obvious, I think.
You are very exact congratulations
I looooooooove it❤❤❤❤
well done
Well I gotta say that the prices you talked about are pretty accurate most of the time except living costs and gas where I disagree with you on the costs there. For the comparison to be fair though, it has to include the average salary in both countries then you can compare between the cost of living and quality of life. Al Hamdolilah we are doing very good in Morocco and hoping things will continue to improve. It's clear that Morocco can offer you a better quality of life for a lower amount of money, but our youth is still brainwashed to believe that they can achieve more financial success and find better job opportunities in 1st world countries in Europe like France, Spain, the UK and so on even though the costs and spending there are like a nightmare...

Man are you serious? We are definitely not doing fine in Morocco especially when you look at how little and tiny our wages are and how low is the quality of life. Cities are overcroweded, disorganized, too much begging and scammers, too much pollution and harassement from everywhere. A miserable education and health care, bad infrastructure, bad working conditions etc... We have tons of problems other than money that don't even exist in the UK. And yes, people living in a 1st world country have a much better quality of life. Even though the cost of living is high, you get a good life in return. The moment u get out, u encounter smelly sewers, overflowed smelly trashbins, and rubbish in the sidewalks. How about when u spend the rest of ur day outside. So please let's stop fooling ourselves and pretending that Morocco is Singapur. (From a Moroccan who moved to finland)
American here: i recognized that gas station in Rabat immediately lol. We own a place near there, and yes, lots of things in Morocco are more expensive now.
Thank you 🇲🇦🇬🇧👍

@@GariSullivanthe minimum wage in morocco is lower than 2500dh its more around 1500dh and in smaller cities its as low as 1000dh
The nice thing is when you work as an affiliate marketing with the British people while living in Morocco 😅
Thank you for this great documentary.
To cover the 4 corners, a comparison of the Yearly net income is a must; only living cost is half the truth; what you earn dictate what you can spend: try at least a comparison in the following professions: Teacher highschool; College; university. Public health doctors; nurses, police at all levels; Ouvrier; waiter; taxi driver; public transport drivers…..
I think!
I would love to do a profession comparison. I think the teacher one would be possiblw with some orgainisation. The one I really want to do is the police comparison.
Your welcome in our country I hope to be happy with us
hey Sullivan, I think it was important to also mention the difference in salaries in the UK vs Morocco, it puts in perspective why things that seem cheap in comparison to their prices in the UK are not as cheap to us who get a very different salary. Just to help you out, an average salary here is about 3600-5000dh, you can see that it can barely cover the cost of living, leaving very little wiggle room for entertainment :/
ETA: the salaries mentioned here are salaries for people working in the private sector, in which, the positions are becoming increasingly scarce & people are struggling to keep their jobs cuz companies know that people will always apply & that they dont have to keep employees if they don’t worship their job. Now, on average, people with no high degrees earn around 2500-3000dh, & most of them have families to feed…

Interesting video but I would like to point out that Moroccans do not use gas to heat their house, only to cook which probably explains the big price gap.
