Last year i had a huge arguement at the food stand that tried to make you "promise", i can't eat where people are pushy and aggressive WTF. The young guy with the Bulls shirt was so friendly though, i would have sat down and have a meal there.
@@InvestedAdventure I decided to have a nice dinner at the Mabrouka Sky Bar just around the block. A very cool Senegalese gentleman invited us in. His good pleasant energy is what sold me. And i just had to give him a nice tip afterwards.

Seems like you came to Morocco with an agenda to criticize rather than understand. Yes, the culture and traditions are different, and that’s what makes it the most popular tourist destination in Africa. The energy, the people, the sellers-it’s all part of the experience. Instead of respecting this, you chose to stage interactions with the locals just for content, knowing full well that vendors will engage you if you start a conversation. Also, it’s unfair to portray the prices as too high. 15 bucks for a meal of great quality and quantity is actually a good deal. Just because it’s Africa doesn’t mean things should be free or dirt cheap. If you had truly wanted to understand Morocco, you’d have shown a more balanced view instead of using stereotypes for easy views.
Yeah totally, having left Palermo following a pleasant week in Italy with no gripes, I sure wanted some beef before moving to Bali "Africa" is more expensive than Indo
The suitable question to ask is : How bad you are to Morocco? Or are you really welcomed here. in fact we want good tourists who can spend money not like some of tourists.also some don't respect our traditions . So the right question to ask is are you worth visiting our beloved country? Me, i don't think so.
Your behavior is really unpleasant. If you come up to me with that camera and attitude, I won't be nice to you. These are people, not a circus. Do you really think it's okay to keep filming everyone? Stop playing the victim, and if you're so afraid of being scammed by everyone, maybe don't visit the country?
It looks like you were sent by the enemy to bash this beautiful country. Nonetheless, I and many people I know had a blast in Morocco and can't wait to go back again and again.
Firstly, its far from a beautiful country relative to most places I've been. The culture is also the most hostile I have encountered. There also seems to be a fair amount of propaganda and censorship here in the comments. I showed the truth, as always. And as for the paranoid mindset of 'enemies' and undercover operatives... I think that says it all.
@@InvestedAdventure I still stand by my point that you are trying to demean this country. As an American, I love Morocco 🇲🇦 and will always be happy to visit.
There is certainly an old world charm to the place, and thankfully the people were pretty good to me overall, but there's no denying the 'edge' that exists there - and you must be prepared (particularly if travelling alone). Be sure to catch my coming videos which document the true reality over a number of days... it was quite an experience
Please do not post comments like that to people as if many people around the world do not visit Morocco and post videos like you. Allow people to learn and explore for themselves. Your experience based on what you are after is your experience.@@InvestedAdventure
Bro, stop dramatizing things, scammers are everywhere in this world !!!! And you come to our country you should respect us, they are trying to scam people I know but you are the one who makes the decision for getting robbed or not !!! Marrakech is a touristic city. don't try to downgrade its image . we are locals and we know what's really going on there .
It’s not like this “everywhere” in the world. You clearly haven’t been to Indonesia, or the Philippines, or Vietnam, or Sri Lanka… a bunch of them there for you. All different regions and religions too.
No your wrong!.. my wife is from Marrakech and it's Haram to up a price by 3 times the true going rate just because of your accent or been a tourist! Pure disgusting! Ripping people off is not a tradition of Moroccans it's called been deceitful.. God is watching 🧐
You're just looking to get views. Don't make a lot of comedy, remember that your main objective is content for your channel. You are in a country with its culture and traditions, you are in the most touristy place in Africa, you know what awaits you with the sellers, if you don't want to play the game, there are many restaurants excellent in the city center. You pass by them and you agree to start a conversation to have content to film so you have to wait for the salespeople to insist, there is competition and everyone tries to convince the customer. I am Moroccan and the same thing happens to me when I pass by, if I find a salesman too insistent or if I want to stop the conversation, I leave and it's over, I don't do cinema with the camera on. the hand. PS/ 15 bucks for what you ate, is very cheap ! Don't think Africa mean free. You ate a lot quantity of food, a great food !
"if I find a salesman too insistent or if I want to stop the conversation, I leave and it's over" >> That's never been my experience in Morocco. You are intimidated and in many cases 'gaslighted'. Treated almost as sub human on many occasions. "PS/ 15 bucks for what you ate, is very cheap ! Don't think Africa mean free. You ate a lot quantity of food, a great food !" >> In your opinion. Go and see Asia. Again, their pricing was exploitative - 22 USD, then 18, then 15... its made up to extort tourists. No way is your average worker affording a 15 USD. Its street food. "You're just looking to get views. Don't make a lot of comedy, remember that your main objective is content for your channel." >> I showed the truth and the narrative was one of pleasant surprise. "You are in a country with its culture and traditions, you are in the most touristy place in Africa, you know what awaits you with the sellers, if you don't want to play the game, there are many restaurants excellent in the city center." >> The restaurants were mostly the same, selling overpriced tourist menus. Lets not try and spin things for the tourist board. Moreover, the culture was pretty immoral and not at all welcoming to outsiders. And, the camera changed everything - people were suddenly more friendly when it was around (savvy).
How do you reconcile that with the 41 countries I’ve visited (40 of which I had no problem with), and the multi ethnic community that I grew up in? The U.K. is perhaps the most tolerant and diverse nation on earth. My experience of the third world has been quite the opposite.
I'm with you on a lot of what you said. Getting heckled is annoying as fuck. But that last bit about expecting a meal on the house for photos... Nonetheless. Thanks for giving us a view on the Medina. To be honest, I really didn't expect any less. Quite a typical tourist hotspot experience.
You're in one of the main tourist areas of the world, walking round with a selfie stick and speaking English. You're advertising the fact you're foreign and a tourist/ TH-camr. You're bound to get attention from sellers and restaurants, far more than the average tourist going quietly about their business would do. Not only do you just walk past or say 'no thanks', you actively interact with them. Why are you surprised that they are pursuing you, and do you think that it would be any different in any other major tourist location???
@@InvestedAdventuremaybe because that’s a very touristic area compared to other countries which don’t have as much tourism as morocco, next time try a different city.
I don’t know why people in the comments are blaming you. These people can blame you for being a tourist but that would honestly be most tourists. How can he walk without being harassed and not feeling upset? It seems like all day they would target him
Went to Egypt 35 years ago in a small tour group. Always being harrassed by the locals. It was HORRIBLE. Yet, I'm the issue just like you, according to the locals. But in the West we don't like to be touched and harrassed all the time. Locals, and it's always the men, need to BACK OFF and leave people alone. The way you are being blamed is such the blame the victim. Disgusting how people on these comments are acting toward you. How dare they say you are the problem. THEY are the problem. Leave people ALONE! That's it man, LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE. If you can't do that then you really need to be locked up with a bunch of other people who loved to be bothered. The rest of us just want to travel and be left alone. Stop being disgusting - men - stop it. Leave tourists alone! And you, James, were so much nicer than I was. I never swore as much before or since being hassled by the damned locals.
Bruv if you ain't interested in them, stop chatting them up for god's sake. They will obviously think you want their product if you start a conversation; they maintain shops for fuck's sake not a socializing event ... The victim mentality is taking over what's left of your brain.
@@InvestedAdventure No the victim is portrayed as guilty for looking for attention and trouble. Don't you think that if half your comments say the same thing, you actually might be in the wrong ?
2:12 in all fairness it tells you the prices of wherever you want to go like you don't get that in most places i was in agadir and the guys there at the airport will tell you the actual price if they hear you asking the drivers the driver tried over charging us by €2 i wasn't to bothered by that like

Anyway i got two things to say Welcome to morocco, but the first impression wasn’t like idk how to say it , spontaneous, because it feels like you came with an impression about morocco and you really want it to be real like chaotic or wathever please don’t get offended by what i say and also not forgetting those seller attitude i just wrote them a message above because it is not right but Marrakech is always like this so do not give people time to have a conversation there just live your life and don’t care but the other cities i garenty that people there are super chill
To each their own, and I have yet to visit Algeria, but in my opinion there are many places in Asia that I would rank above Marrakech. That said, I acknowledge that I was in a touristy part...
The chance of being robbed in London is way higher, and the walking scammers if you spit on the floor the will be demanding a false fine . If you wearing fancy you’re doomed
And who are the ones robbing middle class English people in London? Where does the organised crime stem from? English ale, or things originating and dealt by gangs from overseas?
you went to the place where you gonna get annoyed by the sellers in the whole morocco where I blam the minister for not organizing it better, meanwhile we still have the best food in the world and rich culture, but you are overreacting about the food prices, all that meat and dishes for 15-20$ where you will get less amount of meat in amsterdam or any other western european country for same price. Also if you like lamb meat I recommend you to try the royal mechwi, you will taste the best tender juicy meat ever. In addition what make your video like you talk too much is the lack of noise suppression
Smells like pro Morocco propaganda. I always show the truth. How many countries have you been to? Marrakech is certainly not Amsterdam or Vienna. Its a poor country, dependent on tourism, with ironically hostile locals. Its literally the worst place I've been. And Asia has more interesting food for a fraction of the price (and way nicer people)
@@InvestedAdventure Sorry mate, you are really talking out of your ass. I mean Marrakech in no way represents Morocco. So the statements you are making are quite bold. The video's clearly are just being made like this to gain views.
@@InvestedAdventureyou just came here to bash the country it seems why waste your time and money ?marrakech has plenty of nice people you just chose to go to places that are notorious for scams and hustling
@@InvestedAdventure u probably don’t even know about Morocco ,Morocco is the best country of all Africa you can say what u want , Morocco is one of the richest country’s that ever existed, before you go visit to country’s full of tourist you can see that you the only one with a camera vlogging just to get attention, if you don’t like our food go and go to you’re home
We wish you happy and safe journey in Morocco , now you should understand when you visit these specific type of places you will find raw random culture that some people respect could be positive and negative experience just like any place in the world , the real Morocco is I’ts nature not just the touristic places , the culture of negotiation and human interaction is limited probably in some western world cauntry , so you may find people more agressive because you are not used it , but your title is purely built on views attraction as it could provocative to some people , when you visit new country even if the experience is not up to your personal standards try make the best of it , good luck
I haven't been in the West for a year. I've visited over 20 countries in Eastern Europe and Asia over the past year, and my experience in Morocco was an exception to the mostly good experiences that I have had everywhere else
You clearly don’t understand how to act, the interactions with people that you’re having are the same for you as they are for me as a Local, sellers will persist and trynna start the talking with you, cause when u start the talking it’s done for them, if you dont want something just ignore them, and i insist on ignoring them. Also, you should have a local guide to learn from him how to act with these locals.
Yeah, must have been the 40 countries before your’s that taught me nothing… or, that your’s was a completely different culture (for worse) than anywhere I’ve been. That’s also allowed to be the case. My opinion is as valid as your’s. We have free speech in the rest of the world.
The price was fair tbh cause you ordered a lot of different things, maybe not 22€ but the 15€ is. The rule is to negotiate with everyone, thats why they choosed a higher price at the beginning. Anyway maybe marrakech is not you vibe, then you can try somwhere else, cause even for moroccans marrakech is an exeption, if you want my opignion Rabat and Tangier are my favorites.
Thanks for that tip my friend - interesting to note your thoughts on Marrakech as a local. I actually rather enjoyed it, certainly compared to Fes and Tangier
You're A LOT more likely to get pick pocketed in Europe than in Morocco. Of course you should exert caution, but not any more than you would in Europe. It looks like there's a glitch in the Matrix with the guys approaching you in the square. At least they're not being aggressive, which is a step up from before, hopefully they'll take the next step soon and stop bothering people altogether. I personally don't mind the hassle, I consider it part of the Jamaa El Fnaa experience, but then you have people from socially reserved places like Northern Europe who think they're being attacked and take it personally and then go on to leave the terrible reviews you might have read.
In many ways, I agree. It seems that the "worst" of society tends to find their way to Europe, with "less bad" people remaining in their home country. And hence, crime is more common in Europe than many of the countries I've visited. However, there's no denying that some countries are less "moral" than others, and poverty will tend to lead to desperation. However, to your point around the perception of the 'culture' of persistent soliciting and haggling, I (based on my experience of doing this in many countries around the world) found there to be a nasty edge in Morocco that I haven't otherwise encountered elsewhere. Just look at the guy's reaction at the place that I declined just before I settled on the restaurant that I eventually ate at. See my coming videos for more on that, and take care my friend
Europe is worst on its own especially now without anyone finding their way to it. You tend to forget this "worst" you are labeling, came to work and offered a lot to build it to where it is now, but again people with your mindset forget easily but do not worry, the same people who worked hard for Europe to get it to where it is today will leave and then we will see the state it gets into. By the way, talk about the European companies that keep going to Africa, and Asia to invest to get money from to survive..... Be reasonable when commenting and reason with facts. You should stay in Europe and not visit anywhere, that would be best.@@InvestedAdventure
@@KimwannaratLiew The vast majority of pick pockets in Europe are from Central and Eastern Europe, not Morocco. Europeans used to steal land, resources and people, now they are stealing phones and wallets, it's a sad turnaround.
Bind mindset to catch the mood of this marvelous country. Moroccan are very sensitive.. If your energy is not right you won't get anything good from this country. It's not for everyone i guess. But bro you can have your opinion but your title is a bit... Have a safe trip.
So I admitted I had heard mixed reviews (that’s a diplomatic way of saying unanimous negativity), as I honestly stated in the video. I think it came out favourably, as I captured the reality. Vibes are for chicks.
Worst place on earth, DON'T go there! I booked an extra plane ticket to get out of this horror city. Just came back yesterday, and I am so thankfull that I not grew up in this culture. If you want a good reality check; go there.
I don’t get how it’s a horror city you never explained but if it is try a city that isn’t touristic that’s like complaining that France is a bad just because Paris has a bunch of scams?

@@InvestedAdventure you knew that there are scam in jamaa el fna but you didn't knew that the bus from airport take you to city center for 30 dirhams go and return since....always :)
Quite frankly your attitude reeks, you went there with a negative perception of the country and with every interaction you reinforced that idea by overreacting to normal interactions, and treated them as if they were beneath you. You were barely haggled or mistreated and you were walking about as if you were so hard done by just because they asked you where you were from. Please refrain from visiting beautiful countries like Morocco if you can't appreciate them. Thanks.
Morocco is a severely impoverished country. The countryside is abject in litter plastic , forgotten people , disregarded disabled people , stray dogs many starving. If you’re a tourist and stick to tourist areas you will be sheltered from this . Travel around Morocco it’s a sad state of affairs .
Marrakech is nice uh, I was there and i took a car drove to Agadir went to paradise valley stay there a couple of days in agadir and than back to Marrakech. I havent been harassed once. Did u know there is a tourist law that forbids them from harassing you. Anyways Marocco a very chill place people are hippies by nature. Drink Thea smoke hashish right haha. "don't smoke hashish guys" Its a place where you could land in some serious trouble if you choose to behave like a idiot. Even though there is clubs and alcohol to be found i would recommend you to steer clear of that cause its just not the way of the locals and when there is a lot of booze involved things happen. And the law i going to be rough cause its Marocco not Britain or Holland or whatever you from. Just do the quad tour visit souks eat great dinners drive a camel enjoy the smells and sounds. Play stupid games win stupid prices. enjoy guys.
Hello, as a Moroccan myself, I understand where his opinions come from. However, I advise you to go to cities other than the most popular cities that are often busy and with intimidating sellers. And please, if the sellers keep insisting, don't give them hope that you will buy anything and just keep walking. I promise that this is not the case everywhere in Morocco. Also what you paid for your food was fair. Morocco is a beautiful country, you have to find the right places. I don't think the title is appropriate. It sounds disrespectful. But for the most part the video was good.
Thanks my friend. It has a negative reputation from the majority of travellers I have spoken to. Definitely an outlier in that regard. I found Marrakech to be better than expected - as I also convey in the video - though still not without reasons to be cautious as a solo traveller. This stance was vindicated as my trip continued. (I cannot agree with you that it was a 'fair' price for the food - but then again, I've eaten some of the world's best street food throughout Asia, at prices that will perhaps never compare to anywhere else in terms of value)
You’re right - it’s nothing like Pakistan or India. I couldn’t wait to get out. Every minute there was hell and it’s the one country I’ll surely never return to.
just stick to your home pal if before the flight landing even you came there full of stereotypes and agendas. acting like a victim and creating nonexistent drama out of nowhere, you have no manners and respect, respect is not one sided it is bilateral
There is a different between fez poeple and marakesch poeple..fez = arabs Marakesch = berbers (chlouch) The south of morocco are berber areas. Berbers are more friendly and calm more cultivated.
Interesting, thanks for contributing these insights. A fellow traveller was saying how the Berbers had been far more decent to him too, outside of Marrakesh and Fes
Advice never come to Marrakech and do not advise anyone to visit it. The city is very mixed and full of swindlers and fraudsters and we are tired of the complaints of tourists. You are the ones who come to her stop

Lmao. The comments are mad. People would rather say the video is lies instead of seeing the faults and wanting the people to be better. Videos like this hurt the countries tourism and it SHOULD.
Well said! There’s clearly no shame amongst the people who behave in this way towards tourists. So perhaps putting the truth on the internet might spur them into action - or at least deter tourists from being subjected to such unfair treatment. There will be no change until/unless Moroccans accept that there is a problem.
@@InvestedAdventure you're not the first one to point out the issues there. A youtuber... I cant remember his name now, almost got attacked on the beach because he wouldn't pay the unfair price of the horse ride that he didn't want in the first place. Moroccans are terrible to tourists and it shouldn't be on tourists to learn how not to get scammed in these countries.
I think it was relief more than anything that contributed to my positivity. By no means the worst - and there was a decent amount of protein - but nowhere near what I’m used to in SEA

@@InvestedAdventure I still stand by my point that you are trying to demean this country. As an American, I love Morocco 🇲🇦 and will always be happy to visit.

Everything there looks wonderful 💞
There is certainly an old world charm to the place, and thankfully the people were pretty good to me overall, but there's no denying the 'edge' that exists there - and you must be prepared (particularly if travelling alone). Be sure to catch my coming videos which document the true reality over a number of days... it was quite an experience
Please do not post comments like that to people as if many people around the world do not visit Morocco and post videos like you. Allow people to learn and explore for themselves. Your experience based on what you are after is your experience.@@InvestedAdventure

Thank you!!
This youtuber is not a nice character, but he has some good points… some people are a bit (too) pushy…
This can be experienced in any touristic city around the world@@arabidimaandwhatever
Bro, stop dramatizing things, scammers are everywhere in this world !!!! And you come to our country you should respect us, they are trying to scam people I know but you are the one who makes the decision for getting robbed or not !!! Marrakech is a touristic city. don't try to downgrade its image . we are locals and we know what's really going on there .
It’s not like this “everywhere” in the world. You clearly haven’t been to Indonesia, or the Philippines, or Vietnam, or Sri Lanka… a bunch of them there for you. All different regions and religions too.
@InvestedAdventure so they don't try rob people in South east Asia...?lol
No your wrong!.. my wife is from Marrakech and it's Haram to up a price by 3 times the true going rate just because of your accent or been a tourist! Pure disgusting! Ripping people off is not a tradition of Moroccans it's called been deceitful.. God is watching 🧐
@@InvestedAdventure Indonesia is muslim too bro. Also Malaysia for the most part. This has nothing to do with religion.
You're just looking to get views. Don't make a lot of comedy, remember that your main objective is content for your channel.
You are in a country with its culture and traditions, you are in the most touristy place in Africa, you know what awaits you with the sellers, if you don't want to play the game, there are many restaurants excellent in the city center.
You pass by them and you agree to start a conversation to have content to film so you have to wait for the salespeople to insist, there is competition and everyone tries to convince the customer.
I am Moroccan and the same thing happens to me when I pass by, if I find a salesman too insistent or if I want to stop the conversation, I leave and it's over, I don't do cinema with the camera on. the hand.
PS/ 15 bucks for what you ate, is very cheap ! Don't think Africa mean free. You ate a lot quantity of food, a great food !
"if I find a salesman too insistent or if I want to stop the conversation, I leave and it's over"
>> That's never been my experience in Morocco. You are intimidated and in many cases 'gaslighted'. Treated almost as sub human on many occasions.
"PS/ 15 bucks for what you ate, is very cheap ! Don't think Africa mean free. You ate a lot quantity of food, a great food !"
>> In your opinion. Go and see Asia. Again, their pricing was exploitative - 22 USD, then 18, then 15... its made up to extort tourists. No way is your average worker affording a 15 USD. Its street food.
"You're just looking to get views. Don't make a lot of comedy, remember that your main objective is content for your channel."
>> I showed the truth and the narrative was one of pleasant surprise.
"You are in a country with its culture and traditions, you are in the most touristy place in Africa, you know what awaits you with the sellers, if you don't want to play the game, there are many restaurants excellent in the city center."
>> The restaurants were mostly the same, selling overpriced tourist menus. Lets not try and spin things for the tourist board. Moreover, the culture was pretty immoral and not at all welcoming to outsiders. And, the camera changed everything - people were suddenly more friendly when it was around (savvy).

Thanks a lot my friend! Where are you from?
crap video made by a tourist
You're in one of the main tourist areas of the world, walking round with a selfie stick and speaking English. You're advertising the fact you're foreign and a tourist/ TH-camr. You're bound to get attention from sellers and restaurants, far more than the average tourist going quietly about their business would do. Not only do you just walk past or say 'no thanks', you actively interact with them. Why are you surprised that they are pursuing you, and do you think that it would be any different in any other major tourist location???
I’m surprised as it hasn’t been an issue in the 20 other countries where I’ve done what you describe, in the past 12 months.
@@InvestedAdventuremaybe because that’s a very touristic area compared to other countries which don’t have as much tourism as morocco, next time try a different city.
I don’t know why people in the comments are blaming you. These people can blame you for being a tourist but that would honestly be most tourists. How can he walk without being harassed and not feeling upset? It seems like all day they would target him
Thank you Omar
Went to Egypt 35 years ago in a small tour group. Always being harrassed by the locals. It was HORRIBLE. Yet, I'm the issue just like you, according to the locals. But in the West we don't like to be touched and harrassed all the time. Locals, and it's always the men, need to BACK OFF and leave people alone. The way you are being blamed is such the blame the victim. Disgusting how people on these comments are acting toward you. How dare they say you are the problem. THEY are the problem. Leave people ALONE! That's it man, LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE. If you can't do that then you really need to be locked up with a bunch of other people who loved to be bothered. The rest of us just want to travel and be left alone. Stop being disgusting - men - stop it. Leave tourists alone! And you, James, were so much nicer than I was. I never swore as much before or since being hassled by the damned locals.
Morocco is amazing. I think your editorial line is all about negative content for clicks. Total waste of time
Ah okay. Despite what I explained in the intro and throughout. You’re entitled to a full refund
Bruv if you ain't interested in them, stop chatting them up for god's sake. They will obviously think you want their product if you start a conversation; they maintain shops for fuck's sake not a socializing event ... The victim mentality is taking over what's left of your brain.
Ah. So the victim is portrayed as guilty for being victimised. Gaslighting again
@@InvestedAdventure No the victim is portrayed as guilty for looking for attention and trouble. Don't you think that if half your comments say the same thing, you actually might be in the wrong ?

im from Algeria marekech is the best City in the world i like the food the culture the ppl is mazing

The chance of being robbed in London is way higher, and the walking scammers if you spit on the floor the will be demanding a false fine . If you wearing fancy you’re doomed
And who are the ones robbing middle class English people in London? Where does the organised crime stem from? English ale, or things originating and dealt by gangs from overseas?
@@InvestedAdventure Do you mean to say only Non English partake in organised crime? Can you prove that?
You nailed it brother.
15$ won’t even get u a cup of coffee in London 😂🤦♂️
you went to the place where you gonna get annoyed by the sellers in the whole morocco where I blam the minister for not organizing it better, meanwhile we still have the best food in the world and rich culture, but you are overreacting about the food prices, all that meat and dishes for 15-20$ where you will get less amount of meat in amsterdam or any other western european country for same price.
Also if you like lamb meat I recommend you to try the royal mechwi, you will taste the best tender juicy meat ever.
In addition what make your video like you talk too much is the lack of noise suppression
Smells like pro Morocco propaganda. I always show the truth. How many countries have you been to? Marrakech is certainly not Amsterdam or Vienna. Its a poor country, dependent on tourism, with ironically hostile locals.
Its literally the worst place I've been. And Asia has more interesting food for a fraction of the price (and way nicer people)

We wish you happy and safe journey in Morocco , now you should understand when you visit these specific type of places you will find raw random culture that some people respect could be positive and negative experience just like any place in the world , the real Morocco is I’ts nature not just the touristic places , the culture of negotiation and human interaction is limited probably in some western world cauntry , so you may find people more agressive because you are not used it , but your title is purely built on views attraction as it could provocative to some people , when you visit new country even if the experience is not up to your personal standards try make the best of it , good luck
I haven't been in the West for a year. I've visited over 20 countries in Eastern Europe and Asia over the past year, and my experience in Morocco was an exception to the mostly good experiences that I have had everywhere else
Discover Marrakech from above with Atlas Montgolfiere. Enjoy stunning sunrise views on a memorable hot air balloon adventure.
You clearly don’t understand how to act, the interactions with people that you’re having are the same for you as they are for me as a Local, sellers will persist and trynna start the talking with you, cause when u start the talking it’s done for them, if you dont want something just ignore them, and i insist on ignoring them. Also, you should have a local guide to learn from him how to act with these locals.
Yeah, must have been the 40 countries before your’s that taught me nothing… or, that your’s was a completely different culture (for worse) than anywhere I’ve been. That’s also allowed to be the case. My opinion is as valid as your’s. We have free speech in the rest of the world.
Honestly you did nothing wrong. Im moroccan. Its a hard place to navigate. But i prefer it more then Sweden where everybody are angry.
Nobody cares that you eat everyone is interested in scamming you, it's very painful and annoying at the same time
The price was fair tbh cause you ordered a lot of different things, maybe not 22€ but the 15€ is. The rule is to negotiate with everyone, thats why they choosed a higher price at the beginning.
Anyway maybe marrakech is not you vibe, then you can try somwhere else, cause even for moroccans marrakech is an exeption, if you want my opignion Rabat and Tangier are my favorites.
Thanks for that tip my friend - interesting to note your thoughts on Marrakech as a local. I actually rather enjoyed it, certainly compared to Fes and Tangier

So, the first thing that occurred to your mind once landed is how should you bash the country. Sad life you're living!
You're A LOT more likely to get pick pocketed in Europe than in Morocco. Of course you should exert caution, but not any more than you would in Europe.
It looks like there's a glitch in the Matrix with the guys approaching you in the square. At least they're not being aggressive, which is a step up from before, hopefully they'll take the next step soon and stop bothering people altogether. I personally don't mind the hassle, I consider it part of the Jamaa El Fnaa experience, but then you have people from socially reserved places like Northern Europe who think they're being attacked and take it personally and then go on to leave the terrible reviews you might have read.
In many ways, I agree. It seems that the "worst" of society tends to find their way to Europe, with "less bad" people remaining in their home country. And hence, crime is more common in Europe than many of the countries I've visited. However, there's no denying that some countries are less "moral" than others, and poverty will tend to lead to desperation.
However, to your point around the perception of the 'culture' of persistent soliciting and haggling, I (based on my experience of doing this in many countries around the world) found there to be a nasty edge in Morocco that I haven't otherwise encountered elsewhere.
Just look at the guy's reaction at the place that I declined just before I settled on the restaurant that I eventually ate at.
See my coming videos for more on that, and take care my friend
Europe is worst on its own especially now without anyone finding their way to it. You tend to forget this "worst" you are labeling, came to work and offered a lot to build it to where it is now, but again people with your mindset forget easily but do not worry, the same people who worked hard for Europe to get it to where it is today will leave and then we will see the state it gets into. By the way, talk about the European companies that keep going to Africa, and Asia to invest to get money from to survive..... Be reasonable when commenting and reason with facts. You should stay in Europe and not visit anywhere, that would be best.@@InvestedAdventure
true you are liketely to get pick pocketed in Europe by Moroccans
Oh please, there are more criminals from your race than anywhere else in the world. Do not deceive yourself.@@KimwannaratLiew
@@KimwannaratLiew The vast majority of pick pockets in Europe are from Central and Eastern Europe, not Morocco. Europeans used to steal land, resources and people, now they are stealing phones and wallets, it's a sad turnaround.
I miss my country from London 🇲🇦 ❤🇬🇧
Nice to meet you my friend
Bind mindset to catch the mood of this marvelous country. Moroccan are very sensitive.. If your energy is not right you won't get anything good from this country. It's not for everyone i guess. But bro you can have your opinion but your title is a bit... Have a safe trip.
So I admitted I had heard mixed reviews (that’s a diplomatic way of saying unanimous negativity), as I honestly stated in the video. I think it came out favourably, as I captured the reality. Vibes are for chicks.
The moment they try and show me a menu I'm gone
Good rule of thumb
Worst place on earth, DON'T go there! I booked an extra plane ticket to get out of this horror city. Just came back yesterday, and I am so thankfull that I not grew up in this culture. If you want a good reality check; go there.
I don’t get how it’s a horror city you never explained but if it is try a city that isn’t touristic that’s like complaining that France is a bad just because Paris has a bunch of scams?
Definitely don't eat there if Jamie Oliver likes it 😂

Morocco is a severely impoverished country. The countryside is abject in litter plastic , forgotten people , disregarded disabled people , stray dogs many starving. If you’re a tourist and stick to tourist areas you will be sheltered from this . Travel around Morocco it’s a sad state of affairs .
Marrakech is nice uh,
I was there and i took a car drove to Agadir went to paradise valley stay there a couple of days in agadir and than back to Marrakech.
I havent been harassed once.
Did u know there is a tourist law that forbids them from harassing you.
Anyways Marocco a very chill place people are hippies by nature.
Drink Thea smoke hashish right haha. "don't smoke hashish guys"
Its a place where you could land in some serious trouble if you choose to behave like a idiot.
Even though there is clubs and alcohol to be found i would recommend you to steer clear of that cause its just not the way of the locals and when there is a lot of booze involved things happen.
And the law i going to be rough cause its Marocco not Britain or Holland or whatever you from.
Just do the quad tour visit souks eat great dinners drive a camel enjoy the smells and sounds.

wearing a camera doesn't really help honestly doesn't really matter where you are i guess.
Hello, as a Moroccan myself, I understand where his opinions come from. However, I advise you to go to cities other than the most popular cities that are often busy and with intimidating sellers. And please, if the sellers keep insisting, don't give them hope that you will buy anything and just keep walking. I promise that this is not the case everywhere in Morocco. Also what you paid for your food was fair. Morocco is a beautiful country, you have to find the right places. I don't think the title is appropriate. It sounds disrespectful. But for the most part the video was good.
Thanks my friend. It has a negative reputation from the majority of travellers I have spoken to. Definitely an outlier in that regard. I found Marrakech to be better than expected - as I also convey in the video - though still not without reasons to be cautious as a solo traveller. This stance was vindicated as my trip continued.
(I cannot agree with you that it was a 'fair' price for the food - but then again, I've eaten some of the world's best street food throughout Asia, at prices that will perhaps never compare to anywhere else in terms of value)

Well said! There’s clearly no shame amongst the people who behave in this way towards tourists. So perhaps putting the truth on the internet might spur them into action - or at least deter tourists from being subjected to such unfair treatment. There will be no change until/unless Moroccans accept that there is a problem.
