Surviving the Real Morocco (Not the One in Travel Guides)

  1. Are you gonna to go 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️ to essaouira ❤🎉Marrakech it so close to essaouira

  2. don't feel bad for the beggars, its extremely easy in Morocco to make a living. People sell their wares on the side of the street, bread, fruit, coffee out of their car. It's incredibly easy in Morocco to produce value and profit but there are these losers who still beg instead of working towards anything…Or worse they work and like to take more – like people who take from donation bins in the West but come in an SUV…Unless they are actually crippled or elderly or you feel compassionate, don't give them anything and reinforce their behavior.

  3. Apres vu que Jama3 Lfna est un marché nocturne touristique, les marchands (qui demande de l'argent pour les avoir filmé) agissent de maniere diferente a comment un marché nocturne normale, generalmente ce n'est que a Marrakech ou ils agissent comme sa pour grater de l'argent. Mais si non dans les autres villes dans les souks ce n'est pas comme sa.

  4. As a Moroccan I can say and claim as long you avoid Marrakech and fez you’re good to go.
    Those places have some shameless and illiterate beggars, touts and scammers who harass tourists.
    Y’ll should definitely pay a visit to el Hoceima, tazaghine, tetuan, Tanger and ksar sghir in the north of the country.

  5. Your girlfriend so funny 😂, I like her, you are lucky man to have so funny girl

  6. GOD Almighty says :

    * O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female,
    and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that
    ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah
    (GOD Almighty) is (he who is) the most righteous of you.

    And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)*
    (Qur'an)(The Last Testament )

  7. Because the minaret of koutoubia is a thousand years old that way they don’t allow building to be higher that kiutobia

  8. Get yourselves one of those covert camara sunglasses you can probably bet some clear lenses for night time and film where you look.

  9. By the way with monkeys in chains id accuse them of animal cruelty. Monkeys should be free not in chains.

  10. Cities I highly recommend you visit, my friends, and wander around their neighborhoods and districts: Essaouira, Meknes, Salé, and Tangier. They are wonderful and exotic cities, and truly worth exploring.❤

  11. They are street performers, they earn their living like that, now with youtube and all the social media, the little money they get is in some way allowing you to use their performance for your videos, in the west it's called copy right, you get sued for that.

  12. 29:48 OMG I'm Moroccan and I'm mind blown right now , i swear i never knew this , but now that you mentioned it "elfna" does actually mean annihilation… , it's clearly different from another word which is "elfan" meaning "art" but somehow i never thought of it in that way ,

  13. They leave holes in the city walls, in order to repair them, and then keep them that way for hundreds of years

  14. You are making beautiful videos if you come again to fes I will be happy to meet you if you want to say how we make Moroccan slippers you are welcome

  15. nice supermarket! wish you were going to some other place in Morocco but looking forward to your next destination anyway

  16. Just for instance.. “surviving the real morocco” do you really think moroccans eat snails every day ? We eating that shit just if we want you moron

  17. I'm honestly surprised by your reaction toward people asking for money — after all, they have every right to, especially when they're offering something, even if it's just allowing you to film them. That's their image, their presence, and ultimately, their choice. It would have been more respectful to ask permission before filming, particularly since your video is monetized through AdSense and possibly sponsors. You're earning from their appearance, so isn't it fair they ask for something in return?

    It seems a bit hypocritical to accuse others of "scamming" when you, too, are benefiting financially — perhaps even more — without proper consent. Sadly, some tourists come across as entitled, forgetting they're guests in places where people may be struggling just to get by.

    A little empathy and respect go a long way. Maybe it's time we rethink who's really taking advantage of whom
