Yes, as a child and then as an adult with kids. I actually live next door in Algiers so the language is nearly the same. I love the food and the architecture. ❤
The Authenticity , The beauty you see in the small details & The good you see in others is also in you. You couldn’t see that good & that beauty ,if you don't have the positive intentions, real abilities, and virtues of mind and heart.. Keep it this way & enjoy your life to the fullest...

He was amazing! Let me know if you ever decide to go and I'll send you his information (will also be in the blog post linked in the description, but I couldn't quite finish it on time today!)
I would like to thank you for visiting Morocco and discovering the historical areas that reflect the richness of our culture and the depth of our history. Your professional style of photography and your attention to detail have played a distinctive role in highlighting the beauty of these places from unique angles. Your creative way of documenting shows not only high technical skill, but also a real passion for cultures and history. We are certain that your photos will convey a part of the spirit of Morocco to everyone who sees them, and will contribute to raising awareness of the beauty of this heritage. We thank you for your keenness to present Morocco in the most beautiful image, and we hope that your trip is full of special memories that will always stay with you. We hope to welcome you again soon to discover more beauty and inspiration
@@ClairesFootsteps For the desert, the place to go to is Merzouga. The night sky is amazing there, watch some TH-cam videos about it. Another place you shouldn't miss is "Ait BenHaddou", google it to see what I am talking about. I wish Marrakech was sunny when you were there really. You would have experience the bluest sky ever. Consider Morocco as your second home now.
The DJI Pocket 3 and wireless mic is a great combo isn’t it? I haven’t quite managed to leave my Sony ZV E 10 and lenses behind yet but I might do soon.
@@ClairesFootsteps I also got the DJI Neo drone. It fits in a jacket pocket, can be controlled by your phone and has a nice follow or spotlight mode. Trying to find out what the rules are in mainland Europe. Before Brexit my CAA registration was valid in the rest of the EU. Obviously that's no longer the case.
Nopt thise Minarets are Moorish meaning Moroccan, Morocco's influence stretched all over North Africa and the Sahel so u used to find the several centuries ago, bit now such Minarets are almost all in Morocco and obviously in Andalusia (turned into churches,moroccan rule over Andalusia)
Hello, thanks and welcome. the architecture you see in medrassa ben youssef, is specifically moroccan amazigh, not specifically muslim, because you only find it in morocco, the only muslim decoration is the writing of the quran in the wood and the plaster.
NOTA BENE: I absolutely must rectify a monumental error that not only foreigners commit but also many Arabs elsewhere. * All architecture and works of art either in Riads or any construction in Morocco and also in Andalusia 'Spain' are only, solely and categorically Moroccan works of art and not Muslim. So please nuance!!!

Correction. These minarets are purely Moroccan and not North African style. They only exist in Morocco! Those of other countries, whether in Tunisia, Algeria, Mauritania or Libya, have a completely different architecture!!!
We had a very different experience staying in the Medina. The moment we stepped out of our riad we were harassed by beggars and youths who stalked us to the Jemaa el-Fna square. The harassment and begging was relentless. Our host at the riad had warned us not to make eye contact with or to talk to the beggars and youths and told us to ask older ladies for help if we felt unsafe or got lost (we did get lost and were helped by older ladies). In the square very small children were begging while we ate outside and did not leave us alone during our entire meal. The roads and alleys lined with booths were packed with people, mopeds, donkeys , asses and carts and the smell of rotting meat, spices and the fuel used in the two stroke engine mopeds were overpowering. Even though I was dressed very modestly (only my head and hands were uncovered) and I was with my husband I was verbally, physically and sexually abused (cat called by youths, hit in the shins by a man pretending to be blind because I wouldn't give him money and groped by a man in the crowds in the packed square). Even during an organised trip to the Atlas mountains we were pursued on a walk in the mountains by elderly men trying to sell us jewellery,. There was no peace anywhere and we couldn't wait to go home.
Sorry to hear you experienced all of that! When were you in Marrakech? As you'll know from my video experience was complete opposite, very very relaxed (bar the bikes which were a bit hectic!) and I had zero hassle. We didn't spend much time at Jemaa El-Fnaa but didn't have any issues walking around the souks etc. Just please know that your negative experiences don't reflect all Moroccan people, because everyone I met (on both my trips this year) was incredibly kind.
@@ClairesFootsteps We visited in January 2017, I was struck by how very different your experiences were and how very less crowded Marrakesh was in your video. I think maybe the main difference was that you had a tour guide whereas we were two naive tourists walking around (mostly getting lost) and seemingly staying in a part of Marrakesh that wasn't so nice as the area that you stayed in. That our host warned us about the beggars and youths before we even set foot out of the riad and asked us not to mention this aspect in a review of his riad on Trip Advisor would suggest that that our area wasn't the best. The beggars, the youths harassing us and the people who abused me were indeed in the minority but they alone ruined our stay.
Have you ever visited Marrakech?
No not yet
@@Dazdamage You totally should!

@@rennemurphy6330 Nice, I love Algiers too!

Winston Churchill did not stay once at La Mamounia but he was a regular guest for so many years , that is where he loved to make his paintings

Not sure if you missed the Saadian tombs, in Fez try the Faraj Palace, and the Attarine and Bouanania medressa
Welcome back to Morocco. Amazing video as always ♥
Thank you Youssef 🙂 I haven't been to the Morrocan Sahara yet so definitely need to return!

It's been a game changer for me, just makes it so much easier to get steady footage! I think I will still use my Sony for talking head videos though 🙂

You are more safer in Morocco than being at home in london or New-York !
yeah I agree!

Sums up my trips as well. Oddly enough, I liked it anyway. My wife did not!
