Volgende maand ben ik 1 dag in Tanger tijdens mijn reis door Marokko. Heb je nog een leuke tip wat ik zeker moet bezoeken ? Restaurant tip is ook welkom 😉.
If saying "NO" to a hustler is a big deal to you, or it can make you angry for the rest of the day, it's not good for you. These guys approach hundreds of people a day, they are used to hearing "no thank you" 99% of the time. Just say the word directly. They won't be angry, it's just acting. Don't feel bad for them, most of the time it's young people or retired people trying to make a buck, just change your perspective about it, it's not that bad once you are used to, even locals get harassed like that. Also in the North of Morocco you can't be filming the "local market" that's not good in mediteranean culture. You have to understand people don't want their wives to appear in a youtube video while going to the market to buy tomatoes ... There is a touristic market for filming. Also in the local market you were there is a cocain and extasy buisness, and the guys are dangerous. Don't film them they will think you are an undercover police. Take care.
After hearing the name "John Malkovich" six times in two minutes I gave up watching. What is it with JM? He's not the greatest actor of all time, he's just another actor. Was looking forward to seeing this as the Continental is my kind of hotel but can't take anymore JM!
The next part of the video does not contain much more about Mr Malkovich, it is not like I meet him or something...maybe not he number 1 actor, but he has done some hysterically funny characters...don´t give up on the video just yet Sir!
Moroccans are super friendly dude. Why writing a title like this ? It resume you’r stay in this beautyfull Town ? You found this only in Morocco on earth ? Peace and love ✌️
This is an informative video. Thanks for the boot on the ground view and experience. I will be visiting Tangier in a few weeks. This give me some sense of a couple types of hustlers to look out for and ways to avoid or deal with them. Thanks for the heads that chat, that its okay to film the streets.
Tangier is bonkers. It is actually worth paying a "guide". Tell them exactly what you want to see or do and they will stop you getting hassled from anyone and will also do all your haggling for you if you wish to shop. Morrocco is an amazing country but can be an exhausting holiday.
I was in Tangier in 1993 and 1994. Nothing much changed except in those days the grand taxis were all yellow Mercedes and the petit taxis were all Peugots or Renaults. The scammers were just the same...usually 'do you want a guide?' or 'will you help me with my English lessons?' You are dead right. Be firm and polite but not afraid. I had a few occasions where they turned physically aggressive but I am a former amateur boxer it did not end well for them. Like you I have never been to other cities but I believe all others are safer. George Burrows the writer had a way of knocking the hustlers off the pavement with his elbows!
We have had the best luck just not making eye contact. It is annoying because I feel like I have to be unfriendly in their city but if you just say hello or good day they start to follow you.
Well it could work it also could work completely reversed because they might feel threatened by your claim wich wont do ya any good. The people u see sometimes that are trying to be guides are just broke and have kids to feed
These people are not scammers and hustlers, they invite you in hoping to make a 7:42 sale, but they and cannot force you, as for the guide, the trick is to say no from the beginning and totally ignore them, he was obviously looking for a job, and in a country where there is no state benefits whatsoever, so just so no thank you and walk away.
But he discovered the city a little ! Nice walk !!!!! It’s true my first impression was : puhhhhh , wild here - be careful That was in 1978 But it opened my heart for this country You need a traveler and and adventurer heart Everybody can be tourist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A very beautiful place but those hustlers would be annoying for sure. You want to see the sights on your own and you are getting bothered all of the time, screw that.
I know right...annoying. But I found that Tangier is worse than other places. In Rabat I am hardly bothered at all...there now. I believe Marrakech is bad too, best to avoid. Thanks for watching Riley! Casablanca next!
First time I went to Tangier..🌹.I was with Male Friend..🌹a hustler said to me he can give me Sx 5 times in one night...🌹so funny..🎄.this was 20 years ago 🎄
That young guy in blue approaching the girls..he looks Poverty Stricken..just give him a few dirhams to help him....they get no help from Govt...all around they see a New Morocco ..but nothing for them...I would be Desperate also..its Cruel... Maroc needs to Share the New Wealth..not Take it..🌹🌹🎄🎄
Met him later as well, he threatened me with his body language and loud voice to get money despite saying politely no several times. Give money to him...no. I gave to a few older ladies that seemed help.
The impact is definitely real. I've been thinking about visitng Morocco multiple times and this is the #1 reason I still haven't and probably never will. If I can't walk the streets in peace, I don't want to go anywhere.
They give up after seeing you a few times. There are other cities where the problem ain´t so bad, like Rabat....Casablanca and others. I would go there. Stay away from Tangier and Marrakech perhaps..
It's NOT forbiden to film or have videos, in moroccan streets! Tourists, TH-camrs...can film whid out any problem! So...his reaction is a silly one, with no sens. Welcome to morocco! U must verify by yourself, or see videos from Morocco, on TH-cam.
Thanks for this video. Could you somehow describe how you got to the more local market? I will be heading there very soon. Also for others. . . as an Arab myself, from the Levant, no, it's not "an Arab thing".
Tanger ❤ beautifull city ,you just have to adjust and everything will be fine ! those people are just trying to make a living.why you comparing McDonalds to the food market ?😼
You’re more patient than I am Chris. If he’d touched my camera I’d have knocked him out. I’ve experienced this behaviour in Morocco and in Egypt, perhaps it’s an Arab thing? I mean I’ve had touts annoy me in the Caribbean, South Africa, Italy, pretty much everywhere but never as bad as in Arab countries, it’s like they feel the tourists owe them a living. Great film mate. 👍🏼
Truth is he did end up at the hospital, but he survived and is fine now. He told me he was sorry for acting out and will start life a a new man and deal respectfully with others. Thanks for watching and I will read up upon the reasons why this happens here..
@@sandvenexplorer Ha ha ha ha. I appreciate the humour. They’re horrible though, they can spoil a holiday. The authorities there (North Africa in particular) really have to crack down on these leeches.
They sure do a LOT of damage...odd they don´t just crack down on it yes...I am sure police here can be tough if they want to. I find that speaking a few phrases in Arabic helps....they know I have been here a while and see straight through them. One even apologized when I said I had been here 20 times....more like three times, but it helps...
@@sandvenexplorer After seeing the Pyramids and Sphinx a wee tout tried to sell us a “crystal” pyramid. A huge Egyptian cop grabbed him and slapped him hard round the face. I asked the tour guide if that was commonplace, he said no, the only reason he was slapped is because the little pyramid was only glass, not crystal. 😂 The cops are all in on it, they get a cut every night. Corrupt af mate. Seen it in Italy too. A bit of Arabic language will for sure help. Sometimes I felt like getting a T-shirt printed saying “I’m not interested.”
Arab thing ? You know that’s racist right ? I can’t understand how people still generalize a whole community of people about something they have went through one or two or even 10 times . People all in the world are different from an individual to another and I’m sure you are old and experienced enough in life to know that
Went there about fifteen years ago,the hassle and intimidation as soon as we left the boat was crazy ,got spat at by children and throat cutting gestures made to me ,had to make an escape in a fast taxi from a violent tourist guide and consequently caught the next boat back to Spain but even before getting on board i was swindled out of money by port police to check our tickets and passport although they had a place to do this so i had to do it again .never have i regretted going to a place so much and literally kissed the Spanish soil on arriving back .not for the faint hearted .
i don't know what reel reaction you get from tangier .but like this video is not help because i really knows Moroccans people and not a scammers or hustlers . next time be careful what you post . you know social media now is the mirror of any kind of business
Where ever you go its best to have someone who is morrocan and knows morrocco good it can be like walking in to the wrong neighborhood in colombia. You should just know what you want to do and where and have some native speaker at least with yoy
🤣🤣🤣It's NOT forbiden to film or have videos, in moroccan streets! Tourists, TH-camrs...can film whid out any problem! So...his reaction is a silly one, with no sens.

I love Tanger, Im Dutch doing business in Tanger. Great city going out, enjoying. Me alone as a woman!!

Obviously not a seasoned traveller. Doing it on the cheap too with just a backpack.
Maybe he would be better spending his holidays in his back yard.
Anywhere you go there are hustlers and scammers, the bottom line is beware and understand the culture wherever you go.
True but Tangier is worse than anywhere else that I have been in the world.
Go to marrakesh 😂
Moroccans are super friendly dude. Why writing a title like this ? It resume you’r stay in this beautyfull Town ? You found this only in Morocco on earth ? Peace and love ✌️
Superfriendly???? Moroccans are superhustlers and superscammers!!!!
I think negative anti everything is his schtick. Channel looks that way. Off to find happier people (even if they had some minor issues).
😄😄

Sounds like the way to go!! Thanks for watching!
I say "Very kind of you, but no thank you"
When they continue asking I stay calm.
When they get angry I say "f**k off before I call the police"
Good advice, they are I have been told worried about the police...they do NOT want a complain from a tourist. Thanks for watching!
We have had the best luck just not making eye contact. It is annoying because I feel like I have to be unfriendly in their city but if you just say hello or good day they start to follow you.

I said no to these folks MANY times....some are worse than others, but most tourists here experience this and it is a problem for tourism.
But he discovered the city a little ! Nice walk !!!!!
It’s true my first impression was : puhhhhh , wild here - be careful
That was in 1978
But it opened my heart for this country
You need a traveler and and adventurer heart
Everybody can be tourist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure, and outside this particular area it is better, but you need to avoid the typical tourist areas.
A very beautiful place but those hustlers would be annoying for sure. You want to see the sights on your own and you are getting bothered all of the time, screw that.

Head South. Essaouira or agadir. Much less hassle.
Don't go to Tangier anymore..can hear in your Voice ..you are Stressed Out 🎄🎄
Imagine John Malkovich from Podunk,Illinois blew a fart in that very room😂
Some of the Hustlers have gone to Tangier from far away Villages....to chance the Tourist..
Thanks for this video. Could you somehow describe how you got to the more local market? I will be heading there very soon.
Also for others. . . as an Arab myself, from the Levant, no, it's not "an Arab thing".
Hi there, it is about 1 km further soth from the Medina´t describe it better...it is one long street there..
Have you ever thought of walking around with a bat? Or some sort of obvious weapon that says, don't even think about messing with me.
No, but it MIGHT work, hehe. Interesting idea.....most were harmless though, but one of then I had to push away and threaten.
My Favourite Town🌹.. is non of these well know Tourist towns...👁️.Keeping it Secret👁️..it is ..not far from Casablanca 🌹🎄🎄
Tanger ❤ beautifull city ,you just have to adjust and everything will be fine ! those people are just trying to make a living.why you comparing McDonalds to the food market ?😼
