Every experience in Morocco should be like this. Our weekend with Said and his family in Al Haouz, Morocco in the High Atlas Mountains was amazing. The Moroccan Berber culture is so genuine. The visit to the Tin Mal mosque was spectacular.
If you are interested in participating in a Berber Home Stay like we did, you can reach Said at berberhomestay.com/

OUR EXPERIENCES IN MOROCCO HAVE BEEN SO GREAT. THE PEOPLE, THE COLORS, THE MUSIC, THE SCENERY - ALL AMAZING! Thank you for being so gracious to our family!
Thank you for the video "Lovely Family" , Indeed Berber people in the High Atlas mountaines are very simple but so kind & generous :)
World Towning we gonna miss you all guys..keep doing your amazing vlogs and don't hesitate to Come back anytime you want ,😘🤗
World Towning you guys are amazing and very respectful, thanks, Moroccan living in the US.
Thx for sharing your experience. Berber people are indeed good people: they have very strong moral values, work ethics, and great culture. Unfortunately their region has not been developed under HassanII as they were discriminated against the same way Algerian berbers were in Algeria. But I believe it has changed over the years.
WHY ARE U HERE, WE DON'T WANT NOR NEED SNAKEZ AMONGST OUR PPL...UR THE UNCLEEN THE BIBLE SPEAKZ OF..OBIDIAH 2:3 GO AWAY
I'm a berber and Im really proud of my culture. My people are absolutely nice and cheerful, we do like nature and have totraly exclusive and exceptional traditions.
Moroccans loves down to earth humble people. If you happen to be one, well Morocco will make you feel happy.
I completely agree. It's one of my favorite places on earth. All the best and please stay safe.
I found these Morocco videos at the wrong time , i have an exam tomorrow but i cant stop watching.i miss Morocco so much
Get back to studying? We will always be there after you are done with the exam. Good luck and get some rest.

What a beautiful Family and the real morocco looks fantastic well done guys.
Thank you. So far it has been amazing! We hope to come back one day and dig deeper in the the southern culture. We just learned this country is 80% mountains and that is a lot of exploring.
@@jsueiro1 yeah Morocco excists mostly out of Mountains. I live in belgium but I'm from the north of Morocco. Watching this video took me back to those times as a kid that I played in the Mountains with the local children. Good times... I love Morocco and the berber culture. Proud to be tmazight! ⵣ❤️

Hi! We loved our time in the village in the high Atlas. Thanks for following and we are so happy you are enjoying the vlogs.
I Have visited morocco in 2015 & 2017. Im So amazed that the Berber speaks fluent English & Well rounded conversationalist. I would still love to visit Chefchauhen again

You should call yourself Amazigh not a pejorative name given by foreign people

Last November 21to 29, I was there with my friend, and I was celebrating my birthday in Sahara desert, I love Morocco 🇲🇦 ❤️❤️❤️
Our parents and Grandparents all came from there. May God bless them all. true men and women.
It is truly a special area. You are lucky to have such amazing history in your family. They are tough men and women too!
No Bro, I just mean my parents and grandparents came from these villages in the Atlas mountains, what you are talking about is another subject.
Ameen
@@frisen077 indeed
Azul... From malaysia love this country bezafff❤️
😂😂😂😂
I'm from Morocco, I've visited Malaysia as well nice country great people. APA khabar
I found this beautiful video by pure chance. Your family is beautiful and amazing how you blend with everyone else. You're giving your kids this priceless gift. And Morocco is a very tolerant country. Amazigh people are awesome and welcoming.
My husband is also a Berber from Morocco. And we live in Brazil. Mountain Berbers have a hard life,, but also has a fascinating culture..
Berber villages are located in all over the country and Atlas mountain is just one of them.
We had a great experience in a Berber village during our stay at the Dades Gorge. Once again, we were completely welcomed with kindness and generosity.
My grandmother lives here
why doesn't anybody understandits tamazight not berber stupid berber is an insult uagh
Take attention
We are not berber
We are imazighn
What an amazing experience. The kids will never forget.
I hope so. We have been gone for a week and the kids are already talking about the friends that they made. They would love to be pen pals, but navigating the logistics of it is proving to be a challenge.
+World Towning they are speaking amazigh languge . amazigh is our languge we are not arabs .
+salah amazigh Morocco is an Arab speaking country.
Patty Sternjacob yea.
World Towning yea, makes sense.
كل الاجانب يجدون راحة بالمغرب
الحمد لله على التنوع الموجود اللهم احفظ بلدي المغرب وسائر البلاد
Thank you for visiting real Morocco. Don't get me wrong, touristic cities are fun, but real Morocco is the people, their hope, food, culture, traditional clothes... This actually is the case everywhere.
Also, congratulation for raising kids who enjoy the world and the people instead of phones and social media. Bright future ahead of them.
Best of luck and I can't wait to see your next adventure.
You get us. Thank you for that. We do our best to be honest. All the best to you in 2020!🤓
Genuine beautiful people and personalities, this is better than any documentary ever... .
Awh, you are so sweet. Thank you, just living life the only way we know how. People need people, right? It is easy to love this place and its people.
They're looks like The Kurds !
I really love amazigh, Great people❤
From Kurdistan❤💛💚
They really are amazing people. Hope all is well in Kurdistan. Stay safe.
🌹
Thanks brother as an Amazigh Moroccan I send my love and respect to all kurds whenever they are❤ my mother's great great grandfather came from Karkok to Morocco and lived and married an Amazigh woman❤ my grandfather and my uncles from my mother they look the same as Kurd people I'm so honored that I have Kurd blood
I fell in love with Morocco then with my husband and his Berber culture. Next time you are welcome to visit our village.we are not too far al Houz. you are welcome to stay with our family. I love this way of life so much I couldn't come back to Europe. No wonder Tamazight they are the Free People. I feel free.
One of the kindest culture we have ever come in contact with. You must be very lucky to be married to your husband. All the best.
Thanks lots Amazighe de Londre
Wow! What an experience! You guys totally changed my perception of Morocco.
That's the idea 😜. All the best...
Could you please tell us what was your perception of Morocco?
I've heard a few people say that shop and restaurant owners are very aggressive about wanting to sell you things, to the point of being mad when you don't want to buy something. And also, in general, there are fewer things to do other than shopping at the souks.
@@kenkliu You know this may be sometimes (RARELY) true in Marrakech (due to the tough competition between them to get sales).. sikos exist everywhere even in Morocco looooooooool but the majority are sane people
I look forward to visiting Morocco one day 😄
I could truly feel your excitement and awe over this experience! Morocco has now been bumped to my short list!
Carole, even for a week, this place is spectacular. Anything longer would just be amazing.
I always find myself coming back to re-watch your Morocco videos over and over again. Something about your humble and genuine interaction with the locals and the fact that I miss Morocco so much, makes me both happy, sad to be away from my country and my family, and nostalgic to those years I spent in Morocco and all the happy yet hard times there. I am looking forward to you going back to Morocco so we can experience Morocco and its people through your wonderful eyes. All the best to your family and much of love from a Moroccan in Germany.
What a great compliment. THANK YOU! Morocco is such a special place. We will be back in December. Send tagine and currywurst please! Wink.
Bonjour, je suis de maroc amazigh. Merci pour les beaux mots. Je vous dis si vous êtes venu au Maroc, alors bienvenue à vous, nous serons heureux de vous rencontrer
the kids mingling was definitely beyond magic
Thanks. They are a bit shy in the beginning, but after 10 minutes they warm up and are ready to have fun.
Those kids are soooo lucky living the real life nd enjoy being together playing singing fighting away from Technology... I'm moroccan nd i feel so jealous of u bcz i really wanna live a similar experience in Atlas mountains also i feel soo emotional cuz it's been more than 4 years i didn't visit my family's members who live in town... I will definitly start watching all ur vlogs nd subscribe...
MAY GOD BLESS UR FAMILY and happy seing u loving Morocco
Thank you so much! I agree, the simpler life is so alluring. Our kids do get some technology because of school, but we really try to keep it to a minimum. We appreciate you sharing your amazing country.
Assalam o alikum Moroccan brothers and sisters from Pakistan.
Pakistan is so much on our list. We hear it is amazing.
I am from Morocco exacltly from Ourika village .. I am very sad to say that we almost lost this culture .
people are dying because of cold weather and no hospitals. this life style is really hard .
I am now working in Casablanca city, my friends are working in Saudi Arabia, EU, big cities in Morocco, we can't stay any more.
I liked how your daughters quickly adapted to new environment.
You guys deserve more views and attention .
a big thumbs up from me
This makes me so sad, but I understand. It does look like a hard life, but one so rich in love and culture. I would hate to see it die out. Thanks. We are working on getting more views (wink, wink).
I have a female friend in Agadir, and she tells me life is super hard in making a living.
15: Same cooking style in our Culture Village life is simple but beautiful Clam,Fresh air,clean water,Pure meal and Beauty.
Many Many love from Pakistan to Morrocon Sisters and Brothers🇵🇰❤
❤❤❤
You daughter looks beautiful in the red berber scarf. The children seem to enjoy it a lot. I know these parts of Morocco and what amazes me the most is that these people will share whatever little they have with you, help you and assist you in everything you need even though they are not wealthy or rich. It is humbling!
Our children love meeting kids from other cultures, as do we. Morocco is a very special place for all of us. We love it there.
Thank you very much for your visit. we had a great experience with you.
Thanks again! We will recommend the experience for years to come! Until we meet again.
HONESTLY,i would have to say this is by far your greatest video,the music,the editing,the scenery,you guys captured it superbly,i ould have watched this for hours,i simply love your family,you are all so gracious and interesting,happy and safe travels.
Thank you Alan! It is such an honor to be in this amazing country. The locals have been incredibly welcoming. More to come. It is going to be really hard to leave.
I love Morocco, It is one of my dream countries I wish to visit the place for holiday in the nearness future 🙂
I like this video the most because you had a direct contact with the real Moroccan people. I am a Moroccan and I love your channel
That is our goal with the bulk of our experiences. There is nothing wrong with an organized tour, but having things explained by locals who share for the love it, that is where the real learning happens. Moroccans are so gracious and have been so willing to share and explain everywhere we have been so far. Thank you for following our journey. We really appreciate it.
Thank you! To connect with the people is always our goal. Sometimes language limits us, but we still do our best.
Truly awesome thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow - this vlog was absolutely amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed it
plus I learnt a great deal. Highly
informative and very interesting.
A big thank you for sharing this.
Thank you H FS. We had a great experience. I only wish that we could have shared everything, but alas, there is only some much hard drive space on my computer 😂
morocco is the best
It is one of our favorites.

Amazigh from Morocco 🇲🇦 welcome to Morocco 🇲🇦 Amazigh and North Africa tzmazgha
Beautiful & brave family. Thank you for sharing
Thank you
Breakfast is important in morocco that's why we eat alot but the good thing is that the food is healthy and organic that's why you rarely see an overwheight moroccan
Interesting. Well, I am so American in the way I love big breakfasts, but I guess I am out of practice with all those petit déjeuner in Europe. Ha. They are yummy here.
thats a lie tons of overweight people in morocco, mostly woman
@@iSuKOwnerS Only in urban areas though.
iSuKOwnerS
A lot of them force themselves to become overweight to be considered ‘attractive’ but if they didn’t force themselves, they would be healthy. Some people outside of Morocco eat normal portions yet still gain weight due to eating junk
Junkfood, processed food is poison for your body. You are right. Organic, old school food is the best thing you can give your body.✌
Oh beautiful beautiful......what a wonderful world you’re bringing your children up in❤️❤️❤️❤️ so hearing you. Our children have adapted to life in India so incredibly well. They see different things that we as adults see!
Thanks Amanda. We are getting so much more than we bargained for. An unexpected surprise at every turn (or Gorge)! 🤩
hamidhmodar12@gmail.com 🇲🇦🌹🥰
What an enchanting village !
Seriously! We knew that we were in for something different when we booked this, but this blew us away. Our host, Said made us feel so welcome and spent the entire weekend showing us around. We need to find more experiences like this.
Your kids are so lucky. They are going to have so many beautiful memories to look back on. Just imagine them in fifty years time, watching these videos with their children and grandchildren. You are giving them so much!
Awh Bernardette the thought of what you said made my eyes water... in a very happy way. Everything we do as we WorldTown takes them into consideration, living full, creating memories and having stories to tell. Thank you for your support and seeing the value for them. Big kiss.
I was in Morocco years ago but didn't get to learn as much as you. We also went to Ceuta which is right in the same area but owned by Spain to spend a few days with family. Such an interesting area. I LOVED this video! You got to explore what I didn't. Thank you for sharing this! Excellent!
Thanks!!! The fact that you came here for a visit is a great experience in itself. Sometimes we land in places where we only work and miss out on the cultural experience, it happens, don't beat yourself up. This just means you get to come back for another visit, right? There is so much to see here, I wish we had 6 months. Glad you got to come along and explore with us virtually.
Absolutely, need to go back. We just came back to Florida from traveling out west for 2 months and being in Europe for 4 months. Our kids learned so much. They want to live in Spain one day...at least part time near our family after they are done with college. Your kids will NEVER forget these experiences you are giving them. You have changed their future for the better. I'm so excited for your kids and what they will do with the knowledge they acquired from these travels that you have provided for them. I need to catch up on your videos...we are so behind because of the travels and my mom's passing this January. Lots has happened. We are not in St. Petersburg, FL as our home base but will keep traveling in the future from here :)
Sorry about your mom. I hope she lived a fulfilling life.
Congrats on your travels, they sound amazing.
It will be interesting to see what path the kids choose in life. Frankly, as long as they are happy and good people it really does not matter to me. We want them to follow where their passions lie, but I suspect the travel will impact their choices for sure.
Yes, mom passed in her sleep at the age of 92. She lived an interesting and full life. Traveling like we did with our kids has been the best decision we made in our lives. Yes, your kids are AMAZING and will continue to have a BRIGHT future. A+++ for your parenting skills(both of you of course) See you in your next video.🌞
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is such a fun journey I cannot imagine living another way with them now. Have a fabulous weekend.
Tamazigh 🇲🇦
Morocco rocks!
@@WorldTowning u didn't get it!
He means that we prefer Tamazight name instead of berber
Make some research and you will figure out what I'm talking about.
Good luck
OMG. I totally wish I could experience Morocco!
When the travel bans lift, you should definitely go. It is so worth it. We are going back in December.
your family is really inspiring. I love the energy between the two of you (Jessica and Will) you guys complement one another well
Thanks Jesse. Will is definitely my better half and knows me better than anyone. I can't imagine doing this with anyone else.
Proud to be berber❤
...and I am proud to have Amazigh friends!
The best years in my life were the years I lived in Morocco, married to a very nice Berber.
The area is magic!
The look on his face when his mother in law constantly interrupts him is priceless.
Morocco is a beloved homeland, a homeland for all, and everyone loves it combines all cultures, simplicity and love for others. Good, welcome
I commend you both for putting the hopes, dreams & plain JOY of your children first! Excellent job showing the love you have for them! That must stem from the love you have for each other. . .be blessed!
Thank you so much. Yeah, we like each other (on good days) 😍. We have a good time solving problems together and that translates to how we raise our kids. We want to show them that anything is possible. We think it's working...
Your kids blend into Morocco perfectly! With their latin looks you can easily mistake both of them as Moroccans
It's interesting. I never thought of that until this week. Between spending the weekend in the Berber village last weekend and now staying at a campsite in front of the Dades Gorges which is also ran by a Berber family, I have looked at the people and thought that they look very similar to me and the kids. I was wondering if the Latino and Moroccan blood lines were mixed together. Maybe there is a link. Will
I was going to say the same thing , btw great videos
I was quicker ! lol
World Towning well moroccans aka the moors ruled over spain for centuries and alot of iberians who settled in south america had moroccan ancestry
@World Towning
Well of course there is some link. The moors 'Moroccans' conquered Spain 'andalusia' . Some Moors who mixed with Spaniard remained in Spain e.g. Gomerez who are Moroccans from Ghomari tribes in Northern Morocco, and those families still are present in Spain and many Latin countries such Columbia, Venezuela, Argentina. Here is an interesting fact, a large portion of the sailors of Columbus, were in fact Gomerez....and there are stories that mention they have visited the Americas long before Columbus.
Thank you for the experience! It was wonderful!
Our pleasure! All the best and please stay safe.
I feel love watching this video thanks for sharing I m a Moroccan lady from Casablanca I have never been there before such an amazing experience
Be safe
you've got a new follower here , thanks for sharing how amazing the deep Morocco is .
It is our pleasure. We can not say more on how impressed we are with Morocco.
I'm Moroccan and I know what makes Morocco so special , its people are amazing especially in the villages they are so welcoming and love to have guests ,so generous . that's a part I'm so proud of . you are welcome to Morocco anytime . see how love can break the borders I'm talking about the kids and how they got with the village kids playing and running around even they don't understand the language . amazing experience you are so lucky traveling around the world I love that
Many people think that the Berbers are only in Morocco, the Berbers are in all of North Africa
Im a berber (amazigh) from algeria (atlas mountains , kabylie region ) i speak tamazight berber language

@@WorldTowning that's our pleasure to comeback to us any time🤩
Another great video guys, reaching out and touching the people and their every day lives is so great.
Thanks. If we could only film 100% of the time...Now that would really be a show. We are interacting with everyone with a story to tell. This place is full of so many interesting people.
It' s so touching to see the kids playing together... great video !
My favorite part about our trip as well.

Congratulations for this amazing video, we can feel a bit of the emotion that I am sure you guys got from that experience.
Thanks! It was such a special experience, one we will remember forever!
Moroccans are some of the nicest people you would ever meet especially in the rural areas. Love Morocco; Algeria and Tunisia.
Completely agree! We will miss it.
This is the kind of show we need on national TV! Thank you, guys. You are wonderful!
moorless yes, I agree! Lets do it!
Wow, really amazing and beautiful experience. Thanks for sharing how amazing the Berber life is.
This is one of our favorite experiences ever.

Yes everything is going well and we are at home having fun being quarantined lol 😆 Thanks for asking 💝
I cannot believe you drove the RV up there! What an amazing experience, but a scary drive ;) -- Mel
Also, how did you find this experience?
Will is CRAZY!!! You should see some of the places we have driven!
I googled it and then airbnb'd it. This is the same way our friend found the indigenous experience in Ecuador.
I can only imagine if I had the drone with me. Ugh!
We would be in jail, now that would be fun!
You're "amazing" too!
Thank you for the love in your hearts!
And thank you for showing us the universallity of childhood!
This is really a remarkable culture that everyone can learn from.
What an amazing ability on how you and your beautiful kids immerese with the locals and the culture. You guys from heaven. We Love you.
Wow, thank you! We love Morocco so much.
As a Morrocan and a Berber too I can tell you Moroccans are the most hospitable people , they like to have guests and know how to receive them : )
I could not agree more. The hospitality here is top notch. It makes learning about a country and its people so much more enjoyable.
I feel so lucky to discover your beautiful and interesting channel !!! One subscriber more with a big 👍
Thank you Zara! We appreciate the support.
If you have love for people in your heart, you do not need language to communicate. Non verbal communication from heart get it done. I am amazed with this video. You have a wonderful family, sharing common values & ethos
Too much love and respect from Morocco
Love you guys!!! I am so happy to see BEAUTIFUL peoples, You make my heart sing! Happy to subscribe and see your travels!

I am from Morocco! I love you guys! You guys are welcome ! Hugs to you guys! ❤❤❤😍
Thank you so much. I feel that we are the grateful ones to be able to be in your country and document our journey of discovery.
Your kids are lucky to have such a childhood.
Thanks. We keep telling them that. Sometimes, they get it, sometimes, they don't. Kids will be kids and this is their normal. We thing it's cool.
Yes beautiful morroco are 90% Berbers and the culture is amazing. Love from Eritrea ❤️🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷
We are 100% berber.. some of us think they are arab but that's just not true. Love to Eritrea.. beautiful and very historic country ❤️
amazing video, i really like how interrested you guys are about the berber life, a lot of tourists come to morocco just for the beach or hotels, but you guys are diving into the culture!
you must be proud of your kids, they're very smart !
Thank you Ayoub. We make every effort to learn about local culture in an authentic way. We always engage with kids to get the best experience . In this case, we were able to connect with Said and his family. The result was magical. We are very proud parents. Our kids are curious and open minded. Traveling the world has given them the skills to evaluate before judging. We can not want more for them.
You guys are way cool! You have had the real Moroccan experience. I am envious and I am Moroccan although I now live in Chicago.
Tinmel, the mosque you visited, is the birth place of a Berber dynasty that ruled Morocco for a long time. Tinmel means "school" in berber because the founder of this dynasty was versed in the Koran and taught his disciples the "righteous way". His followers took his message to the rest of Morocco and ended up founding a dynasty known as "Al Mohads". Al Mohads means the "uniters" because they united different tribes and regions under one single nation. They are the first of just two Berber dynasties that ruled Morocco. The other dynasty are the "Al Moravids". Both of these dynasties are known in Europe because they sustained the Moors in Islamic Spain for many decades. Both dynasties eventually turned their backs on the Moors of Spain because they did not consider them to be pious enough.
The entire area where you stayed has a very rich history although it looks backward and disconnected from any modern lives and modern conveniences.
Wow, thanks so much for sharing all this history. We love learning about Morocco from the locals. You all have been so helpful and we are grateful for that. Have a fantastic day.
Jessica Sueiro You are the ones we should thank for sharing your unique experience with all of us.
I wish you the best of luck and I am anxious to watch new videos of new adventures and new places.
@@moukafaslouka4796 All good and very well said. One small precision though, Al Moravids came first, i.e. before Al Moahads.
Actually the Almoravids & Almohads were invited by the Taifa kingdoms to come to Al Andalus & help the Taifa rulers stop the Native European Catholics from taking back their land from the Muslims but instead the Almoravids & Almohads simply kept the Taifa kingdoms for themselves.
The Almoravids did not give up on the Taifa kingdoms but rather the Almohad dynasty destroyed the Almoravids in Morocco & then the Almohads took over the former Almoravid lands in Al Andalus
The Almohads were severely defeated by
a Christian coalition of the kingdoms of
Castilla,Navarra,Aragon,Portugal,
Knights of Santiago,Knights of Calatrava,
Knights Templar,Knights Hospitaller,
& French volunteers in the decisive battle of "Las Navas de Tolosa" in the year 1212.
After this 1212 battle the Almohad king was seriously injured & he fled back to Morocco where he died shortly after.
This 1212 battle was the end of muslim power in southern Spain & southern Portugal because the Christians took back all their land town by town until the late 1200s when they completed this task.
The Nasrid kingdom of Granada was created as a vassal kingdom of Castilla after the Almohad defeat & although Granada was conquered in 1492 REAL Muslim power was gone after the 1212 Almohad defeat because Granada was just a tributary state of Castilla
This is amazing! Thank you guys... Atlas people are so welcoming
Our pleasure!
I'm Berber man and I am so proud of my original ,who is agree with me from North West Africa♥️♥️
I loved it!!!
Thank you.
The most perfect 👌 Vlog , I miss you my Country .my Atlas’s mountains I miss you my Béni Mellal.
The atlas mountains are the best. Love them
I am a Moroccan Berber CZcamsr, I must admit that I admired your courage that pulled over to live with a Berber family for 48hs.
It has been the highlight of all of our time in Morocco. We just went back to the family again!!!! Wait until you see the vlog. coming soon. Hi to a fellow YTuber.

Thank you. What a lovely country.
Holy crap! absolutely INCREDIBLE! Thank you.
Villagers in Morocco and probably everywhere don't have much but whatever they have they will share with you. They will always give you the biggest share. We think they are backwards because they don't have iPhones and ipads or utilities but they are way more civilized than we are. Great vlog !!. Thank you for sharing.
I totally agree. I felt so at peace in the village. Sometimes I think we have it all backwards with this tech stuff, but then again... we could not see the world without the tech and ability to work/school along the way.
Great video! I wish more people were exploring the local culture and not just places. I would love to hear more about what you learned about this cultural experience.
Thank you Bazia. Morocco is a completely different culture thank what we were experiencing in Europe and in South America. We like to think that educating our kids through the understanding of the diversities of cultures is a crucial part of their growth experience. The kids walked away from this experience with a confirmed sense of confidence that kids are kids wherever you are, regardless of ethnicity or religion. This is our "Why" for traveling. As fas as Jessica and I, we were confirmed that a life focused on family and friendships is a great way to live.
Feel sad watching this on the confinement knowing that I’m not visiting my beautiful country
I know. I wish we were traveling right now too. But for now, we do what we have to do...Stay safe!
What a wonderful family. Lovely people. God bless.
You are so kind. Thank you and please stay safe.
