Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
I think Morocco is the cleanest country in the world, with heartfelt love to my Moroccan brothers and sisters from Turkey.
I'm Moroccan and that's not true at all 😂
It might be true if compared to African countries.. but thank you for your kind words!
Dogan dogan, you haven't been to El Jadida Morocco you would change your comment. Singapore is one of the cleanest countries in the world. I don't think you've traveled much. Iove Morocco. It's not the cleanest in the world.
@@wakeupwiseupriseup1107 I'm sure Singapore is a very clean country, but it's clear that Morocco is clean too.
@@dogandogan1652 Ifrane is one of the cleanest city in the world, they call it "the little Switzerland
@@dogandogan1652 Morocco is clean but not the cleanest like Singapore or Dubai.
its safe , its clean its cheap and the landscape is beautiful. and they have one of the best food in the world !

11:46 Omg you missed the American Legation in Tangier, America's oldest diplomatic property in the world. The building is very beautiful, it is the only national landmark outside the US.
Gabe walked right past it just after entering the medina.
👍👍👍👍
👍
He doesn’t want a local guide to show him .
Bought a signed copy of John Hopkins’ The Tangier Diaries, in the American Legation in 2004. Still have it and take it everywhere when on the move.
Tangier is probably the most beautiful city in Morocco, with lovely white buildings, great weather and nice beach. A true mediterranean experience
not tanger alhoceima is the most beautiful city in Morocco
definitely not, Marrakesh, and Agadir are nicer
@@mm6max918naaaah
Tangiers actually wasn't under Spanish rule; it was run as an International Zone during the time when the rest of the country was split between France and Spain. The British and Germans had the upper hand in the International City, and it was a haven for spies and a refuge for gay folk who wanted to escape the restrictions of Europe at the time.

the map of the world you saw. is one of the first world maps made by a Man from Tangier called Asharif alidrissi . and that map was realised with no sophisticated tools like the one we have these days ( no satellites. no telescops...) long ago they used to read/use maps upside down . that's one of our Moroccan prides :D !!!
I see, good to know.
Al idrissi, He is Moroccan but from Sebta . You may mix up with ibn battuta who is from
Tanger
And it is upside down, relative to our modern view. If you look hard, you can see the familiar features are all inverted, so North is down and South is up.
@@moroccoisback477 But sebta and mlila are Morocco exactly like the rest of the islands that Spain have to go out from
Could you please tell me of which map you're talking about? Thank you.
I was in Tangier the weekend before 9/11/2001. Took the ferry from Spain and stayed at the El Minzah. Great trip. 👍
9/11 !!
nice number
Morocco is the safest place on earth
Looks like a mix of Rio de Janeiro and San Francisco, it reminds me so well of these cities!
I think really Tangier is the most northernmost city in Africa and it looks more beautiful than Cape Town and Marrakech!
Really the most beautiful city in Africa!
It's not the most northern city though. Algiers, Tunis, Bizerte and many more Tunisian and algerian cities are more northerly. It's the northern most in Morocco though.

the star is an old Moroccan star . it's the moorish star that used to be on Moroccan flags during different dynasties especially during the Merinid reign( and way before that when Morocco was called the kingdom of Mauritania ) some moorish flags are now in museums in Spain after the queen isabelle Chased muslims from alandalus they kept the flag so to celebrate the defeat of muslims in alabdalous.

My family lived here (and in Casablanca) before immigrating to Israel. As I imagined it. An impressive city. Morocco is rightly the most visited country in Africa.
One of my neighbors here in the US - also Jewish -went to Morocco a few years back and (with some trepidation) asked about the Jewish community, only to find that locals showed her all around the old Mellah, with older folk speaking with great affection about their departed neighbors.

Welcome to your second country, Morocco, the country of love, beauty and calm. Just don't rush into the camera until we enjoy the beautiful scenery
Morocco's culture and beauty needs calm, even in photography
thank you for visiting my CITY❤️
My City two 😘
Mine toooo! 😍

Interesting city, I like white medina. And also some tangerine oranges in the market - they are named after this city of Tangier.
This is great, I'm Moroccan from the Atlas region and now I've been living in Tangier for about six months and I still haven't discovered this beautiful and traditional region, to be honest with you it showed me the beauty of my country
Hi Gabriel, I think you missed the most important thing for you to visit in tangier which is the american legation museum.
Sorry I dont know if you are an american or canadian...
I'm both, born in Canada and raised in the US.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos 🇲🇦🇮🇱🇺🇲🏴🇨🇦❤🙏
Tangier looks really cool, great video!
Gorgeous country 😁
yas morocco very beautiful place and safe country you welcoom friend 🤗
I’ve been going to Tangier for 30 years. I love it as much now as I did then. I would recommended the old Continental Hotel it’s cheap & cheerful. Love from UK 🇬🇧
Dear Gabriel, when you buy something you liked, it’s no longer important how much it’s costed the importance is that you enjoyed buying it. Being happy is priceless
Very true.
i go to Tangier 5 times a year for work ..
great city
modern and ancient at the same time
plenty of great places you did not mention but too little time
One great trip is to rent a car from Tangier ,and drive to the blue city chechaouene then the marvelous royal city of Fès home of the oldest medina in Africa, then another royal city meknes then back to Tangier
I enjoyed the long rambling walks Gabriel, Morocco is a country for wandering as you can discover something new at every turn. Definitely a country for the curious and spontaneous, and you know what, these things are some of the pleasures in traveling to another country. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
you welcoom to Morocco 🤗
لي مغريبي ايبان هنا ❤️🇲🇦
There was an epic chase and fight scene in the third Jason Bourne movie in the medina of Tangier, including through its small lanes and over its roofs, so I'm glad to see that Gabe had less problems than Matt Damon did in his recent adventure.
Also the East Africa scene in Inception was shot in the Tangier medina. Big ups to Jason Bourne makers, I usually don't like watching movies set in Morocco because they usually end up butcheing everything and it gets on my nerve, but Bourne nailed it.
Also 007 who has filmed in a Moroccan train and Desert where they bombed the biggest hollywood bomb in history Check it out: 007 SPECTRE GUINESS WORLD RECORD
Watching your Moroccan vids and started to visualize an Agatha Christie mystery taking place in and around the medina and riads.
As far as I'm concerned the only place to stay in Tangier is the Continental Hotel. Wonderfullly atmospheric building on the edge of the medina, and always very reasonably priced. I was supposed to pay a return visit there in early November, but the Moroccan authorities banned direct flights from the UK, so I went to Greece instead!
Sorry to hear that. Welcome anytime you like hopefully soon.
You welcoom friend am from laayoune city in Morocco
From Algeria love morroco it's my second home and marocain people all brothers
TELL HIM TO COME TO ALGERIE HES WELCOM WE HAVE NICE PLACES HERE

واوووو طنجة العالية من اجمل المدن المغربية في العالم، شكرا لصاحب القناة على هذه الجولة الممتعة،
Beautiful wandering in Tangier's alleys, you have awaken nostalgia in me to go back to a town I last visited in 1994. Thanks a lot
I love Morocco! You handled those guides pretty well. i love your videos. Happy travels!
Safe travels Gabe. You very much brighten the gloom
Been waiting for your next video since the last ones. I must say, your camerawork is really exquisite. The way you slowly pan and focus on certain things for just the right amount of time to take it in is very skillful (and I know the equipment plays a part in it, but still). Probably one of the best out of most vloggers I've watched :P
A blesssed good day sir Gabe thank u so much for your another epic adventure and Wonderful video in Tangier Morocco, 😍 love it stay safe Godbless u from your solid fan supporter viewer from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Vhin 🙂🙏👏👏👏👏👍
The small square you get to in the Medina is the Petit Socco, where the beat poets used to hold court.
Amazing! Thank you for showing us Tanger 😍😍😍
I love your style of filming i.e taking us with you in a virtual authentic tour
Do you know any similar vloggers?...most are pretentious.
Wherever you are, come visit Morocco 🇲🇦. It's a wonderful country, it has it all: mountains, beaches, desert, snow, ....
MOROCCO IS VERY NICE
I LIKE MOROCCO 🇲🇦❤

Habibi I love Morocco sooo muchhh ❤️😍😍😍 from India
I miss my hometown. Thank you for taking me back to my childhood memories
That was soo beautiful ❤️😍
Thank you of sharing this very nice video on the city of Tanger 👍👍👍
Thoroughly enjoy all your videos. We binged them last Christmas and it was the best Christmas treat we could give ourselves 😊. Looking forward to seeing if we can find some new ones this year or if not, maybe something vintage from you. Thanks for doing such a good job.
My beautiful city thank you so much for the video ❤️❤️
Amazing tour Gabriel.. thanks a lot..
great video G, yep love the old and new of Tangier.
really enjoyed touring the place with you. thanks a bunch. great video.
I think it's perfectly ok to pay a little premium for the beautiful location as long as the scarves are top quality and hopefully locally made and not imported from China. Really great tour, thank you for taking us with you!
I am currently in Tangier love your video it helped me with my tour 😍😍I live in Morocco but it’s my first time visiting Tangier love it here.
Very nice video in the beautiful city of Tangier
Great video! Tangier has a different feel for sure. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
Thank U for this "exotic" trip in Tangier! Il was an amazing and interesting one. I'm moroccan living in France since 45 years ago. So i learn some changes about moroccan cities with watching somme vieos, like yours. Thank you again!
The signe on the ground was actually a signe of one of the first flags in Morocco
3:01 love the cat sitting on the car, no matter the country, culture or place cats are cats. 😀
In morocco cats are everywhere, they help to keep rats and mouses away and any other kind of no wanted small animals, and it's tradition to not hurt them because they are safe and don''t hurt people not like dogs that can be dangerous for small kids.
@@medmedin4541
That’s good to hear I like cats myself 🐈
😅🇮🇱🇲🇦❤
13:13 this is "Socco Chico" or "Petit Socco", a historical square of Tangier. The place that gathered many artists during the International era of Tangier.
Welcome in tangier ❤️❤️ it is the first time I see your videos enjoy your stay here
Thank you very much for this video, I miss my city a lot, it's been 3 years that I haven't smelled its fresh air. A lot has changed already!
I hope you had a good time :)
Nice to met you 3 years is nothig for me i have 21 years i dont to travel to my land original😓
Hi Gabriel, thx 4 allowing us 2 join u in ur tour in this quite pretty city 👍
Aida Azlin introduced me to Morocco and started loving this place because of her. :) Would love to visit this place someday and meet her too inshaAllah!
Nice video.
Do you know Ibn Battuta, the famous traveler who traveled more than any other explorer in the pre-modern history was from Tangier.
The video is amazing. Thank you ! 🤗
Thank you for this video on my beautiful city Tangier.

"SO...I bought 2 scarves..."

Thanks for your visit to my beloved morocco.
Ceuta is a moroccan city occupied by spain
In your fake book maybe. In reality Ceuta was conquered by Portugal and INHERITED by Spain. Spain never moved a weapon to get Ceuta therefore it can't be occupied. The local population is very happy with their Spanish rights, freedom and EU passports so doesn't look like an occupied people either.
@@wender3060 don't worry dud we are coming to get a ceuta soon don't worry about that 🙂
@@majnonmajnon9959 What about Mellila ?
@@wender3060 spain portugal and all European countries went colonising africa for centuries, and in the nintenn fities African countries starting liberating their lands and gaining their independence, unfortunately spain under the dictatorship of the military and general franco with imperial mindset decided to withdraw from north of Morocco and keeps 2 Moroccans cities and the sahara and some islands that's fact and history spain is an European country ceuta and mellilia are within africa and Morocco geography
@@mosadik1 Spain did evil colonizing Morocco in the 19 century, Spain colonized the Rif and the Sahara. But unlike other European countries, Spain gave everything back to their rightful owners. France scrambled Morocco lands in Argelia and Mauretania but Spain returned Rif to Morocco and withdrew from the Sahara in perfect timing with Moroccan moves to allow Morocco to recover it.
The thing here is that Ceuta and Melilla are not related with the history of colonization and that's why they aren't in the colonization lists...
Ceuta was part of states based on the Iberian peninsula since Phoenician times so had a very linked history to the peninsula. Anyway the Spanish ownership of these cities since 500 years ago has nothing to do with colonization but with medieval times and dynamics. Back then it was very common for Spanish coastal towns to be raided by Berber pirates, mainly Moroccan. They would appear in a coastal village and take lots of people as slaves and raid resources. Even today there's an expression "No hay moros en la costa"
"There are no moors on the coast" which means that something is safe.
Due to this, Portugal and then Castile took naval actions to hold small forts and positions in the north of Morocco to protect our lands from pirates.
This is the origin of why Ceuta is Spanish today.
Should these cities return to Morocco? Well, it's the same than the channel Islands. History has come to this situation and only the future will tell what happens with these 2 cities and the people that have been living there for 5 centuries.
I would bet the small islands in the north will be ceded to Morocco soon and maybe one day Ceuta and Melilla get co sovereignty. But doesn't seem likely, probably the Spanish government will offer to recognize Moroccan Sahara and cede the small islands in exchange of Morocco strongly recognizing Wad ras treaty and accepting the fate of the autonomous cities
So beautiful video 📹 thank you 😊
Great video Gabe😀
Amazing video Gabriel 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Looks like a great place. Craftsmanship still alive & kicking if that riad was only completed recently.
You are a wonderful artist in photography, frankly. You are a professional, thank you and welcome to Morocco. We had fun with you as if we were watching a movie
Salam ça va
@@rachrodi6372 Alhamdoulillah merci
The octagon motif is a Berber sacred symbol. U find it also in canary islands in the form of an eight pointed star.
The 8-star ۞ represents the moorish identity of Morocco that dates back to the amazigh kingdom of Mauretania in 4th century BC, you'll find it in the ancient archeologic sites like Lixus and Vollubilis (which was the capital of the Mauretania back then) and during the Meridians and Saadians dynasties (from 12th to 17th century) a golden 8-star was the main symbol included to the red flag of Morocco and since then it has become one of the major symbols used in all traditional & architectural moroccan handicrafts, until the Alaouite dynasty (actual one) changed it to a green 5-star symbol.
good to know thanks
So nice city with green environment so clean big city display so nicely
Ceuta and melilia will came back to the Moroccan sovereignty sooner or later
Thx for sharing ure welcome in morocco 🇲🇦❤️✌🏾
I would just forget about them if I were u. Trying to get them back will most likely trigger a war, and I don't know if you're aware but we have enough problems already. A war would most likely do us more harm than good.
@@linguisticspundit2094 Ceuta and Melilla are two Moroccan cities on Moroccan African land, but they are under Spanish occupation, which will not last long, God willing, and these lands will be returned to their owners🇲🇦
It is not hustling. People are just trying to help. Say '' no'' and YOUR problem is solved. It's that easy.
Thank u for visiting Morocco welcome anytime I hope u enjoyed ur time
Gabriel,thank you for sharing Medina in Morocco, i WANTED to see the colors of the colors of the scarfs that you bought in the boutique, just kidding.
I am always looking forward to your videos, because of the way that you presented it, very simple,n understandable.
Stay safe.
Thank you for all your travels . I love tangier
ما احلاكي يا مدينتي يا طنجة الحبيبة // How sweet you are, my beloved city, Tangiers
Gabriel is obsessed with Medina's I wanted to see the beautiful beach!
It looks nice Tangier, the deep blue sea beautiful from distance. But video did not show beach! As usual
Only Medina's!
I see that every time someone visits Morocco, he got a lot of views, amazing country , very nice people, and delicious food
enjoy your staying buddy
Great video. I enjoyed your tour of Tangier. I have made quite a few day trips from Spain so interested to see your take on it.
The hustlers are always there. They get confrontational when you say I don’t want a guide.
I found the new part more relaxing rather than medina area. I enjoyed a cafe and croissant in the cafe de Paris
Grand Socco and petit socco.
You have to admire the speed and craft of the traders. He got you in said you could take pictures. Lured you with photos of the famous then sold you two scarves at 10 bucks. Been there done that.
Sadly it was not possible but you did miss out big time not getting to visit Ceuta. Crossing the land border Ceuta / Morocco is an experience in itself.
I was really interested as you walked around to see so few people. Who are those people in cafes since the day trips from Spain are stopped and little tourism in Morocco.
You did well to travel look around and get out. Well done.
Enjoyed the video. Looking forward to next videos.
