- Morgan and Perry are two young American students looking to expand their horizons through a college placement programme. They left the United States to spend time living with local families in Morocco.
Morgan is in Rabat, hoping to improve her Arabic and learn the local culture. Perry is in a remote mountain village 230km away, staying with a family and their small children.
For both of them, this immersion is a rich and lasting experience, in which they learn the language and culture of Morocco. For one, it becomes life-changing when she falls in love.

Thank you for watching our documentary. Please let us know what you think in the comments below.
Lovely documentary. Refreshing.
Here in my home country, I refer to people like her as progressive whites.
SHe was humble and adorable, I like 👍 the host family 👪 too
A good story & perspectives about an overlooked stage in the life of students. And the added soundtrack was fun as well.
You should have covered oir head,when in Rome ...dressing like them shows respect.
I love the Moroccan style of decorating and architecture. I hope to visit one day.
Welcome at anytime feel at home
yes that good
you can visit for any time
Come. Aggi. This is the moroccan for come.
the Riad is an amazing architecture design, the inside is full of surprises
I used to live in Morocco for 2 years and it exactly reminded me of the warm Moroccan hospitalities especially I visited rural areas. I love Morocco and Moroccan people so much
I love this program! A real in-depth story of foreign-exchange students, one of them in Rabat, where I would love to visit someday.
Moroccan people are the loveliest.
❤
I'll host you. you are very welcomed in Morocco Sally!
Sally you can do welcome here i have hotel here the people come visit me here i invited more people from USA and UK and every where
Im english. I marry a casablanca man. All moroccan are like this. They cannot do enough for you. Such beautiful people.
Morocco was the first country to have diplomatic relations with the US - a big step during the fragile days early in the Union- it’s good to see more Americans exploring the country & developing deeper relationships
Before France or Spain?
@@theoutlook55 yes. France was careful in the early stages, even though they did join the Revolutionary war.
Moroccan arabic is very hard to understand for a person who already knows arabic, but the country is beautiful. Kudos to these american girls for trying to learn ♥️
@Mr. Riffian my grandfather in law is berber. Now even my moroccan husband finds berber difficult. Hes khybe hhhhh
Honestly,
as a Moroccan-american girl, I love Americans.. they are very down to Earth and can expand their horizons much more than Europeans. I like the ones Morocco attracts.
Perry eats kids, pets, anything really
Thank you Al-Jazeera for showing us this documentary of students life in this beautiful country, please do more of this stuff as it gives a perfect perspective of what a foreign students would expect to study abroad in Muslim Majority/middle eastern countries, thanks
Many thanks for your comment, dear Shalahuddin. 🤗
Morocco is not a middle eastern country, but yes in a Muslim country.
Perry Colette is absolutely adorable...and smart as a whip. She'll go far. Good luck to her 👍🏻
Collette has an advantage in her host-sister. But poor Morgan though.
@SassySam moroccan men are amazing. Why the doubts?? Im happily married for 10 years. Im english. I truly believe God brought him to me
He changed all my life with love and care and joy. And now i have a BIG family too. All the same.
@SassySam could you send the page, because how would you know? Or you might be her but on an alt account.
@SassySam i mean how would you know about her page
Guests are always welcome with open heart. ❤
This documentary felt very natural, as if you were there with them. It didn't feel staged or rehearsed, just lovely and calm. Beautiful place, beautiful people. Thanks AJ.
Morocco, a very friendly country for foreign visitors. Go too!
except for jews :)
@@zakariaelmoussaoui1382 Religions are another sad way of separating people. Nothing more :(
@main stay I met up close - in 2018 - a whole neighborhood of Jewish retailers and residents of Marrakesh, who prospered peacefully and with respect. So you are absolutely right in your comment. Greetings from Greece!
@@zakariaelmoussaoui1382 no not realy
you can do welcome here i have hotel here the people come visit me here i invited more people from USA and UK and every where
Moroccans have and will show the best hospitality.
I am english and married a moroccan man. This lady who married made me cry. So nostalgic of myself. And she is sooo zwina. You lucky Amine. Zwina bezafffff. Mubarek.
just love how chill and open minded person perry is,god bless her and the host families for the students
I think Morgan doesn't understand much of the Arabic, but it's so sweet she tries to understand it.
She's also too self-conscious. I think she shouldn't.
I'm from Morocco🇲🇦 and I'm proud of that 🥰
🇧🇩💕🇲🇦
MashAllah Alhamdulila
Dua and support for her
Awh the ending is wholesome! 😊
🇺🇸♥🇲🇦
I loved watching this documentary! I visited Morocco and Egypt a few years ago so I could relate. And I liked how Morgan and Perry seemed to be opposites. Perry seemed more open minded than Morgan so I was pleasantly surprised to see Morgan marry a Moroccan! I hope they have a beautiful marriage and I would like to see how they’re doing later, like if they have little kids.
I think they were both open minded. I think Morgan is very self conscious and hesitant to put herself out there. Koudos to Morgan though she really put herself out there by getting married. I think both of them are wonderful in their own way. I really enjoyed this documentary.
@@anthonycalamari4702 they live in the us now , and amine joined the us army he defends his country of adoption
I visited Morocco in2015, 2017 and Egypt exactly a year ago
@@faycal799 you guys are lying what is their instagram account. And dont you have to have citizenship.
Hi..its ucai from Indonesia. Thanks for making this film. It brought me to the morrocan vibes , culture , and their heritage. But i couldn't expected that Morgan found his husband there, in the beginning of scene she was like uncomfortable with the condition. But wow masha Allah..nice ending. Also with Perry she was so cool, continue life in NGO field in Tunisia. So great to watch this movie.
Talking about Aliens in a first date to a guy, that was so funny, wishing all the best to both of them
lol this is something I would have done too
I love america from morocco❤🇲🇦❤🇺🇸
We ❤️ you too!
@@samij6071 I love it so much because it is a beautiful country and its people are nice and it is the strongest country that supports us❤🇲🇦❤🇺🇸❤
I wish more americans would go out in the world to bring people together
Morgan if you see this message , know that there are so many, who want to help you adapt to life in Morocco. Ask questions everywhere you could, don't be shy.
I see her shy and doubt of herself. But she is gorgeous and open and lovely. Mubarek to her and Amine. X
Simplicity conquers all !
So much love and understanding !
SUBHĀN'ALLĀH !
Great story! Look forward to seeing more of these.
Mash allah you guys got married congratulations
Learning Moroccan dialect it's like learning English in the hood. Wzp Wzp
Of all the Islamic countries for a Westerner to go to, Morocco is definitely one of the better ones.
@Mr. Riffian Oh I don't know about that. I think they have many many Islamist laws in Morocco. But it is still much better than say Saudi Arabia or Taliban's Afghanistan.
@@farzana6676 islamist?? U mean terrorist?? Im a lawyer with a moroccan husband. Which terrorist laws do morocco have come on?? +.
Very interesting. Thanks for documentary
Best Documentary
Hey, thank you! ❤

great documentary
well played Al Jazeera. I hope to return to Morocco in a few months to resume my work as a guest of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. If you want to get a real treat check out English Street Classes in Morocco...oh boy what a great outfit.
🤣🤣 Morgan's Moroccan mum has the energy of ten mums .
Too much
She was so creepy lol
I thought she was lovely. Thank God for people like her. She was caring and open to help Morgan.
@@ashraf_rpl4961 How was she creepy? I found her so hospitable and loving.
@@ashraf_rpl4961 you still have time to delete this
Beautiful beautiful, whole world belongs to all of us if we only respect the earth and what's in it 🗺️
34:00 looks like almost my village in Bosnia even the mountains and the road and the whole shape how it is

I loved Tangier.
am from Morocco and Philippines and I always wish to have a American wife in the future inshallah 🇲🇦🇵🇭❤️🇺🇸
She's lucky she's learning new things practical
Aww she should of answered him! She's beautiful!
i know . that made me sad
Whats the app at 19:20? Asking for a friend.
That" ana zwina bzaf" really made me laugh, but she ain't wrong
My Cousin is also accommodating foreigners students at a small fee here in Kenya.
Love morocco 🇲🇦💚💚
hahaha morgan. you are so funny. like it shows you understand like 25% of what she saying at 10 minutes mark. But really cool that you went there. I know this feeling all too well, been in similar situation.
U have the wrong one. Morgans arabic was good.
@@thelawisthelaw ......whatever
@@youyoue4260 you clearly dont speak arabic. Bismillah rahmani rahime
@@thelawisthelaw it's clear you don't kelb. Why you even reacting toxic cesspool
Is this the full doc?
yes, it is.
so cute
Shd come to Pakistan too. Wd lv to be host to such wonderful ppl
Her mom was absolutely right by saying that :" Morocco is a good house in a bad neighborhood" I couldn't have said it any better myself....
it really sucks when people give you these unfriendly stares @17:05 and sometimes comments. As an Egyptian expat in Europe, i very much often get the same looks although less verbal abuse and can sympathise. it's never easy to be a foreigner and always have to feel that you need to justify your presence especially when you're a resident not a visitor.
But then again it's equally rewarding to get to travel the world and experience what it has to offer!
As a fellow immigrant, I'd say don't worry about it. You don't have to justify your presence to anybody. It's legal. Nobody owns a country so one or even several people's opinion on whether you should be there or not means very little. Only everybody's collective opinion matters. And everybody's collective opinion is what got these policies enacted so they clearly welcome you.
You are a weirdo 😂 My guy was literally just looking he don’t give af about what’s going on. It’s a camera crew I would also be looking to see what is going on
There is good and bad everywhere. I really appreciate that both the student and the news service didn't sugarcoat everything. As an American who studied abroad, I wish more Americans who study abroad would just tell their whole experience rather than sugar coating everything. Both students loved the program and Morocco, and I loved my program and the countries I studied in (I studied in Bulgaria and Romania). But there were adjustments that I had to make, and it would have been alot easier if people would have explained the good, bad, and the ugly / the differences, instead of just saying "don't be a rude American" or "just be respectful".
Lovely documentary. Refreshing.
Here in my home country, I refer to people like her as progressive whites.
Glad you enjoyed it! 👐

Excellent watch, but I have to say she looks bored ? I don't know maybe it's just her natural facial expressions ?
Well they lied to her about speaking English, and now she is living as other females in the country, on the floor and attending food preparations, poor girl.
She also seem to be below average IQ, at least socially speaking, which dose not help you in Morocco.
It is usually girls like that who get stuck in Morocco in the first place and often taken advantage of.
@@jediwarlock1 the girl is living her best life enjoying her stay in Morocco, she also called out her American advisor who stereotyped crazy things about Morocco. And here you are disrespecting Moroccans and their lifestyle. You're not any better if you can't respect others.
@@knockknockrepoman ? But he just stated a fact. How is that disrespectful? Maybe treating women as lesser is disrespectful? No?
A clever way to avoid paying rent
Moroccan Arabic is very different from KSA.
Who wants to tell her the truth
Thank God, Morocco doesn't have oil otherwise these Americans have to wear uniform.
😂😂😂😂 Alhamdolila
We have oil in the sea though
I must say,respect to Morocco so far for playing it smart.
Ur a tough girl.getting married,far away,alone.
It seems as if the family was amused by Morgan's ignorance about Moroccan lifestyle.
Moroccans will laugh at all things. Very welcoming.
No problems for this 79 years old, who moved to Querétaro, Mexico Do not forget to have cash when ATM runs out of money,and stores will only accept cash. Besides your preps.
Thank you. Please do not get in a hot truck 🚛🚛🚛 to come to the USA. USA is deadly and expensive. Stay home and live, or R.I.P. Take individual photos of deceased and cremate.Truth thank you.
Have cash when banks close

The ending is terrible but not suprising! Poor Morgan who fell for the soap opera romance with the visa-seeking Moroccan dude. This is an all too familiar narrative, a hallmark of contemporary Morocco: whether you're male or female, get that European or American tourist hooked to some dumb, dead-end love story, that's the name of the game over there. Was Morgan this naive or desperate for romantic attention? Really no red flag when Amine proposed to her after two dates, huh? How come no relative of hers attended the "wedding"?
I enjoyed the storyline however in this day and age you cannot be that naive to fall for the games people play she needed to read up on the culture she looked really lost, such as when they say down to all eat from the same plate OMG I was shocked she was surprised. Come on student or tourist do your homework before you step into someones country and ask questions, just my thoughts girl but you got some growing up to do
@@jennyw9592 Agreed. There is a lot of naïveté in this documentary, especially from this American student. Jumping to marriage after two coffee dates???
Yep, after 2 coffee dates... and none of her relatives even attending the wedding? And for the record, from an Islamic point of view, without the agreement of a male representative [wali] of the bride to be, the marriage is not valid.
@SassySam Thank you for your enlightening comment: ignorant fanatics like you enjoy throwing insults because they have zero argument to present. Technically, there was no "nikah" because there was no "wali." Please educate yourself before you open your big mouth.
They’ve been together for 4 years now, they’re doing great. People should just be careful, but Morgan was aware
Thinking of Louisa Vesterager Jespersen and Maren Ueland....
So what is your point, do you want to say that every morroc will do that to foreigners? Gtfo you sc*m!
Hope you also think about the Christchurch terrorist attack on documentary about New-Zealand
@@nak1509 i thinking only to victims.
@@geoms6263 The people who got killed in Christchurch mosque are not victims according to you?
@@nak1509 yes, they are victims. be save brother
Who goes to Morocco to study Arabic?Maghrebi is the least understood dialect in the entire Arabic world.
Marocco's leader actually studied in Europe and brought some Western ideas and ways of living to his country
Morocco is not as conservative as the middle east and not as liberal is Europe.
So Q8 don't know what western ideas you're talking about
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There's no way I'm the only one who thinks that this is cringe 😬
Well, I remember the last time I’ve heard about Morocco was when 2 blond Scandinavian girls had their heads chopped off… Morocco is trying to redeem their reputation somehow and show their hospitality to two other blond Caucasian girls. I guess their tourism has plummeted since this atrocious incident… This country, like any other Arab countries, is not safe for western women. Their country is too conservative for Caucasian women to be safe especially when traveling alone. Don’t be swayed by the openness and hospitality of these families. Keep your heads on your shoulders…
Not safe for women, period.
FIFY
@SassySam what’s their insta ?
cant help but remember the poor girl that god beheaded in morocco and the videos shared online :(
Such a weird and useless comment on a video that has nothing to do with that. I know for fact u don’t say the same under a documentary about New-Zealand, where the Christchurch terrorist attack took place
@@nak1509 the circumstances were almost identical to girl in the documentary above. a girl on vacation in morocco. These things stay in your mind and we shouldnt try to ignore/forget that these places arent as safe as they seem.
@@WeyounLP As long as you keep that same energy under a documentary in another country. But that’s the problem, people like you only do it under documentaries in “certain” countries.
There is a time and place to remember a tragedy and this documentary ain’t it. The situation is nowhere near identical since millions of ppl travel to Morocco without a problem. Do you also remember the Christchurch terrorist attack under a vlog in New-Zealand? The girls literally went hiking in the mountains in the middle of the night? Like how is that identical to this😂 Try hiking in the middle of nowhere around 12am in the US or any other place for that matter see whats gonna happen to you
You also claim Morocco not to be safe while it’s safer than a lot of European countries another very stereotypical prejudice
cringy to put comments like this, as if in the west there was never murders
just few days ago 14 kids were killed in mass shooting in an American school in Texas, but i don't see clowns like you quoting and mentionning every murder in the US in documentaries about that country and this is just an exemple. Morocco hosts 12 million tourists every year. get out from your little room
Absolutely disgusting
algerian detected as usual poor stupid people

What a lovely film...however Moroccans are killing Sawaraouis in the pccuped Western Sahara the same that Israel in palestina 🇲🇦❤️🇮🇱
This is misinformation. Please report.

@@knockknockrepoman You only have to google Western Sahara and UN resolution and the Special Mission of the UN
@@mgp7003 Bankimon's 2016 report was widely controversial and he was accused of bias.
But why wouldn't you talk about the PoIisario trrist attack on Guerguerat (2021) and how Moroccan army brought peace back?
@@knockknockrepoman what attack? was the bombing of a civil camion by moroccan army for that reason Mauritanie and Argelie closed the border...keep searching info...you dont know nothing Israel gringo.🙈😂😂
Morocco is not a safe destination . The girl had risked her life for her studies .
You're exaggerating. Morocco is safer then France, USA
According to the statistics Morocco is safer than most Latin American countries. It's a safe destination.
These girls were perfectly safe with their host families.What in the world are you blathering here.
you're such a hater
Is that so I didn’t see a shoot out in a 🏫 like in the USA I don’t know.
