Morocco is NOT What we Expected | Our True First Impressions
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ม.ค. 2023
- Welcome to Morocco! If you watched our last video you’ll know that, for a whole host of reasons, we were slightly apprehensive about starting our Moroccan roadtrip.
Well we’re pleased to report that vanlife in Morocco so far is not at all what we expected it to be. Sure it’s a very different culture and there’s lots of stuff we’re not sure about and need to get used, but overall we’re having an amazing start to our travels here.
This week we slowly work our way down the coastline, starting in the beautiful town of Asilah. The route we take sees us journey down through Rabat, Mohammedia, Casablanca, Oualidia and finally onto Safi.
One of the highlights was checking out the largest mosque in Africa, Hassan II Casablanca.
There’s some incredible park ups along the way and we have the best time getting involved in life inside the famous Moroccan medinas. One of the things we were looking forward to the most about this trip is the food and it does not disappoint.
So join us as we find our feet in Morocco, get our taste buds around some amazing new grub and soak up some well overdue sunshine.
Catch you in the comments,
Sarah, James & Ady

Morocco is not Only Souks and Mosks unfortunately u have missed so much nice places mostly in Casablanca.
@@TheWholeWorldorNothing what is Idris Elba doing in Morocco 🇲🇦 😊☝️👍???
hi oscar
Morocco is really a beautiful and magical place…Hospitable and welcoming… 🇲🇦 🇲🇦 🇲🇦
It really is. We’ve had such a fantastic time so far ❤️🇲🇦
Magical place of black magic and love spell?
@@ameradilalnaqbi9776 we get millions of tourists. Nobody goes to the pro soviet military junta-run Algeria. Morocco is the authentic country with history and culture. The oldest university in the world is in Fes, Morocco.
استغفر الله we do watch shamsu and how he exposes the bad women in Algeria that steal the men underwear from the rooftop of the house to do black magic so the can get married to them
@@ameradilalnaqbi9776ههه غاضك الحال حتى حد ما جا عدكم ما تبكيش نقي قلبك من السم قبل كلش
8:25 hahahahaha that bread is called "Msemen", it may also be called "Rghayf" it's a traditional Moroccan bread that's eaten on breakfast or as a snack, you can find it all across the country and sometimes it comes stuffed with fat and spices with an orange look to it, you should definitely try it, as for that white plain one i recommend ordering it with some toppings like nutella or cheese, btw that bread is also used to make another traditional dish called "Rafisa", enjoy guys❤
17:00 what also makes that mosque special is because it was entirely built by the Moroccan people themselves, every household in the whole country donated a portion of money used to build this magnificent place of worship, so Moroccans consider it their own❤
We love msemen! So delicious. We’ve eaten loads of it since, it tastes so good fresh off the griddle.
They mentioned that about the mosque on the tour we did, it’s an amazing achievement and so great that people feel that way about it. ❤️🇲🇦
You’ve convinced us ! We were unsure about vanlife in Morocco, but this video has us talking about a month long trip in Morocco …every year 😂. Awesome episode !!
Haha AMAZING! So glad to hear it. Honestly this has possibly been our favourite place we’ve visited in the van so far, we’re loving every minute of it 😁
Avoid Tangier's and fes...the hustlers are vicious....strip you of everything... relentless scams...one couple had entire van stripped....
van life is cheap especially in here food is cheap safe as long as u park in the cities or any small town and ye enjoy
Welcome !!
Morocco is a beautiful country which I hope to visit someday. Greetings from Libya, keep up the good videos. ❤️
We would highly recommend visiting if you get the chance ❤️🇲🇦
You welcome brother anytime ❤
Welcome bro😊❤️🇲🇦
Always welcome in ur second country
Welcome bro any time , we are looking to have you again ( Libyan ) in morocco
God bless Libya
It looks amazing, the markets, the buildings and the people! Thanks again for introducing me to another beautiful location! Love that you are so willing to try new food.
I took was impressed by the strength of character of Sarah when she didn't spit out the oyster!
I could feel my gag reflex kicking in though...🤢
Ah thank you, glad you enjoyed it! We’re absolutely loving it here and it’s so different to what we were expecting ☺️❤️
Wow. I absolutely love your travels. You made me fall in love with Morocco. 💓
Ah thank you, we’re totally falling for it too. It’s just beautiful 🤩
Beautiful Morocco 😍🇲🇦👍
We love it 🇲🇦❤
Morocco is beautiful and the people are incredible and friendly, it’s very safe nothing to worry about it at all❤️🇲🇦
That has been our experience so far, we absolutely love it and have felt so welcome everywhere we’ve been 🇲🇦❤️❤️
Are you sure of that??? 😂 How sure are you?

Such a fun video you guys! Can't wait to see more of your travels around Morocco it looks beautiful!
Ah thanks ☺️ We’re so excited to show a bit more of Morocco it’s just been incredible so far. In fact possibly the last country that gave us these kind of feels was Mexico… Just sayin ❤️
Welcome to Morocco
If you plan to visit my country Morocco I will schedule everything related to your trip from day one to the final day as far as m'y expérience in the tourisme's scope and travelling around thé country several Times with thé companionship of our guests from all over the world
What a fabulous video people. I was positively drooling at the food, apart from the Oyster!. It looks like a great place to explore.
Thank you ☺️ Yes the food has just been amazing, very different to what we’d expected so it’s been a lovely surprise. But the oyster 😅
Spiffy haircut James!
Your enthusiasm for Morocco is spilling out of the video! The weather certainly looks great.
Happy trails to you all!

Hello

i wish you a very good holiday.
Thank you so much, such a lovely welcoming thing to say ❤️

We completely agree, we’ve had an amazing time so far ☺️
@@TheWholeWorldorNothing and you are welcome anytime
Morocco, an Amazing beautiful Country.🇲🇦❤️
With ❤️ Love from Germany
We completely agree ❤️🇲🇦
I just came back fron Tangier Morocco , I would highly recommended anyone to visit this beautiful Muslim country. They are very welcoming and hospitable people. I was honestly thrown back at how friendly and clean the place was. Coming from Africa myself they have really done us all proud.
In my opinion there is absolutely no rasicm there.
May Allah bless this nation and it's people.
We are visiting Tangier later this month and really looking forward to it! Thanks for sharing your experience ❤️
Greetings to you from Tangier, welcome
Thank you! We’re heading to Tangier soon, looking forward to it 😁
@@TheWholeWorldorNothing Welcome to your second country We are respectful guests. Feel free to greet you
I'm glad that you liked Morocco. Everything is awesome about Morocco, especially the people.
You come back 😂 im sure ❤ morocco 🇲🇦🇲🇦is a dreamland believe me .. the sun & lovely people and food ..is riche on history and peace &love
you are always welcome in morocco ... dont forget the north and east of morocco beautiful places .
grettings from austria 🇦🇹❤️
the hustle is mainly in Marrakech and Fez, so be careful of that when you go there and be strict with the hustlers. One great tip would be to avoid eye contact and conversing with them. The moment they come to you and you're not interested say no and leave, if you do that they will stop. Hope you enjoy your stay!
Thanks for the advice, we’ll make sure we try doing that when we get to Marrakesh and Fes 😊
I love how the oyster guy is too sorry because the taste of the oyster was too strong for Sarah, that's what we love about morocco
Thank you for taking me back home in casablanca, I haven't been there since 2001 ,I miss my country
I'm glad you liked my hometown Asilah! It's the most underrated city in Morocco in my opinion, you should also try it in the summer, it has a completely different vibe then, and you can also go to beautiful beaches around the city like Kahf El Hmam & Sidi Mghayet where you can see Hermès's estate and stable with pure bred horses.
Dead sure one of the best cities in the country. I spent my childhood summers there from 91 to 95. An amaizing place.
I will soon visit your home town. Can we be a good friend?
Welcome to Africa..!
Nice video Thanks..
Thank you ☺️
I appreciate your spirit.Thank you for sharing these wondeful moments in Morocco.
Glad you like them! Thank you ☺️

Chickpeas portions are really for school kids - a favourite…however adults eat it too …. Local knowledge from a Moroccan man watching you from London, UK.
We’ll have to try some. I’m (James) from London! Thanks for watching 😊
@@TheWholeWorldorNothing Northern Towns worth visiting (google or TH-cam them first): Tetouan, M’diq, Chefchaouen (blue city), Tangier (on your way to Asilah), Ifrane (the Switzerland of Morocco ), Hoceima…

Thank you for your content that introduces the world to the culture of my country. You are welcome for life, because we created peoples and tribes to get to know each other. We are brothers in humanity. There is no difference between white and black, red and yellow, except for those who have good morals.

@13:15 fun fact about the donuts "sfenj" venders ... they open early and they close early xD even us Moroccans we struggle to find them HHH
That’s good to know! They’re so tasty 😋
I love that you actually stopped in Safi city, it's actually as you described very unusual and funny and industrial as well, very, there is places to visit in Safi but it's unknown and unfortunately not taking care of as the other cities even though it s really one of the most oldest cities in Morocco if not in the world as well, the food that you have eaten there it s sardines both , it s like kuftta sardine and shrak (flat sardines contains herbs and spices) it s what Safi known about Potery and Sardines plus the phosphate industry, very sorry about the parking thing, but I hope you had a good time there
We really wanted to stay longer in Safi, it seemed like such an interesting place and we were sure there was lots more to explore. Hopefully we can go back and stay for a few days. All of those sardines were delicious, thanks for explaining what they all were, we’ve not seen them again since Safi. We’re having the best time in Morocco 🇲🇦❤️
