I’ve been to Morocco and you are right about the orange juice! The most delicious oranges I’ve ever had. In fact, I’ve kind of gone off of American oranges since my visit. I can’t remember all of the stops we made (with a college group) but we saw a marvelous waterfall and Roman ruins. Our tour guide to us to his house for dinner (or he said it was his house). And we road camels in the desert. And goats in trees! Two weeks wasn’t enough time there!
In 1966-1968 I was in the navy and spent almost a year and a half in Kenitra where there was a former navy airfield. The USA was training the Royal Moroccan Air Force.
I realize this is a geography channel and precisely why I watch. My main curiosity about visiting Morocco are the toilets. I was told they don't have them except in Western hotels. What happens when you're in a market in Morocco and you gotta poop? Should I bring my own toilet paper?
Standing outside of public restrooms were usually women or little kids selling small amounts of toilet paper for a few cents. But in the cities we visited, all restaurants had normal western style bathrooms. You may have to buy a juice or something small. Also, the nicer carpet shops will gladly show you to their genuinely sparkling clean restrooms, and when you come out they have the sales pitch ready and waiting. We sat through a five minute hard sell, but my wife said it was worth it for the bathroom.
During some times in the year we experienced extreme heat due to sand storms from the desert. The air turned into a ghastly red color and the heat was intense.
I visited Morocco in 2007. It was a beautiful and amazing place. The food, history and architecture were magnificent. Be prepared, however, if you are a tourist, to be a target for locals who want you to buy things. They will approach you and direct you to their friend's or relative's shop and be very aggressive with their sales pitch. You will have to bargain on the price. They aren't scamming since the leather goods, carpets etc are very high quality, and they will let you watch as they pack your purchases for shipment to your home. They aren't going to cheat you, but they really do want your money. Just be aware if you are from Europe or North America that they will swoop down on you from the moment you step off the plane.
In Egypt I would go round and round the shop until I found the most cheapest thing they had. Then smile and take it to the owner and give him his 25 cents. It drove them crazy. You will never get into a cab which won't force you to shops the driver is on commission with. Also they won't make change. Never expect it. They will make you take the balance in goods. You can either get mad or play them and have a pleasant experience.
We didn't find that to be an issue. We did get a couple of hard sells for carpet, but other than that it was hassle-free. I've heard stories like yours but all from at least a few years back, so either it's not like it used to be or we got lucky. But we also weren't in the market for a carpet, and I've heard if you want one it can be a pain to bargain for.
@@GeographyKing Thanks for the info. I really did enjoy my time in Morocco back then and was treated very kindly by a family that basically adopted me as a single guy traveling alone. Really enjoy your channel!
A trip to Rabat is definitely top 5 on my "travel to" list. Went to Gibralter and Jebal Musa 30 years sgo, so damn close, but I cant count that one really.
Nice you had the opportunity to see a different part of the world and enjoy it so much. Seeing/visiting other cultures and lands is a enlightening part of growing and being able to appreciate the uniqueness we all have around the planet. Very cool!
I want to mention some facts about Agadir, It has the most beautiful beaches in the country, host the national surf contest in Taghazot (a suburb village nearby) also its famous by the agriculture (tomatoes, oranges…) and Argan trees, where the endemic tree are from, famous by its oil
For your next trip i highly recommend Meknes, i was in Marrakech, Tangier, Rabat, Casablanca, Assilah, Ouarzazate, Chefchauen and Meknes and it was my absolut favourite city in Morocco. It's very chaotic, authentic and there are basically no tourists. We stayed in the most beautiful Riad for like 7$ a night and everyone was super friendly (like everywhere else in morocco too, but even a bit friendlier). So i recommend Meknes!
I live in Florida, but had the opportunity to visit Peru and Colombia last year. The Orange juice (and all the fruit juices) were MUCH better in South America! Everything tasted like it was just squeezed that morning.
15:46 ATLAS MOUNTAINS? ------ NO COUNTRY FOR WHITE WOMEN ☠😬 On 17 December 2018, the bodies of Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, a 24-year-old Danish woman, and Maren Ueland, a 28-year-old Norwegian woman, were found decapitated in the foothills of Mount Toubkal near to the village of Imlil in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. (Wikipedia) The video of it, for some reason is easy to find. Grainy and dark. One was on her stomach and her face during the act was not in the vid, only the back of her. Her friends head was nearby as she was already murdered. Both were gangraped before their deaths. Ironic thing was is they were 2 far left women who championed Islamic immigration into their home nations. They went there as a show to nay sayers that Morocco and every place else is just other human beings no different from you or I. Yes and No. 2 Infidel Scandanavians and 4 Isis supporting savages on a desolate mountain (not ideal). They were caught, tried, and sentenced to death as they should be.

I was in Gibraltar in 2019 and sooo! wanted to catch a ferry to the other side of the strait but I could not convince my wife . I'm still upset about that . Great video Kyle , but with all the fascinating places on earth I'm not sure that I would go more than once .
I definitely agree. The world is too big and you can't see everything. But when we go back, we're going to stay for a bit and then use it as a base to fly out of to somewhere in subsaharan Africa. You can fly direct from Casablanca to most African capitals. But it's still way off, so nothing concrete yet.

What about Kenitra? Did you get to see it? I understand that you have to be careful about the outdoor food markets as there are plenty of flies and insects that land on the food that hangs out in the markets.
For some reason, and I'm not sure what it is, Morocco has been at the top of my list for countries I want to visit. I think it's the allure of the desert and bazaars.
Great summary. Just a small note, while Tetouan is not very popular with foreign tourists, the city and its nearby beaches are the first destination for domestic tourism.
A friend who has traveled extensively in N Africa, SW Asia, and Europe said Morocco was the most beautiful country of all, with Iran coming in second. (This was before the revolution.) He said the most striking part of his visit to Morocco was stopping in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere and being startled at the quantity of stars, that he had never seen anything like it in the US or anywhere else with any population. He told me that he may have been one of fewer than a hundred people within a hundred miles and there was NO light pollution. He told me that should I ever get to Africa, not to miss this country. To emphasize how safe and secure he felt there, he said should he ever decide to become a US expat, Morocco would be at or near the top of any list he could make.
Howdy Kyle, Totally unrelated to Morocco, but I just watched a couple of videos of California flooding following Hurricane Hilary, and there's a channel related to the floods called "Reed Timmer" and the dude on there (I assume it's Reed) looks a LOT like you lol You should check him out, if not to witness the uncanny resemblance for yourself, then at least to check out his content. I haven't watched as many "Reed Timmer" videos as I have "Geography King" videos, but you guys both seem pretty cool and it appears - based on your content - that you both have similar styles and interests. Hope to see a collab someday lol (I commented the same thing on his video) Cheers
This is kind of an obscure reference, but back in the 80s, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (and Polaroid, haha) funded a "miniseries" of science videos featuring MIT prof Philip Morrison called "The Ring of Truth." There are 6 episodes. While every single one is amazing in its own right, the 4th, titled "Clues" tells the story of how the mouth of the Mediterranean sea - right there between Gibraltar and the northern tip of Morrocco, had opened and closed over a long span of geological time. It would close, and then the sea would actually almost dry up! Then it would open, and the rush of water from the Atlantic would carve MILES of the bedrock out. What's more interesting is their description of *how* they figured this out. Drilling rock cores from different parts of the Mediterranean, where on the east side you'd have a "story" of rocks going back and forth between dry rock and rock that forms at the bottom of water, and on the west side, where the deluge came through, you'd have a similar "story," but it would just skip from part to part much quicker, since the water would erase big portions of the story. Old school, grainy video, but absolutely fascinating. All of them are well worth the time to watch, and they're all on youtube.
That particular video also talks about the petrified forests in Yellowstone park. And cake, as an illustration of geological layers. Cake is reason enough in my opinion. Also, am I on the right track to assume that the food of Morocco could be its own video? :)

Spent a week on Casablanca 25 years ago. A commercial center with none of the charm of Marrakesh, etc. a fun and culturally interesting week nonetheless. The women are gorgeous!
For this video, not many were mine. The ones of Tangier, the trains, and most of the Atlas mountain ones are mine, but the rest are from one of the photo services I'm subscribed to. For the channel overall, anything aerial or drone is not mine and most of the skyline and nature landscape photos taken from afar are also from the photo sites. The videos where most of the images are mine tend to be the ones on individual cities as I usually post those videos shortly after visiting there.
I heard a rumor that there is currency for locals and a different currency for tourists. And that the tourist currency makes trqveling there more expensive than for locals. Wish yiu wouldvr spoken to that, if true
Something this video fails to mention: the large Jewish population that used to exist in Morocco. While now there are barely a couple of thousand Jews in Morocco, due to emigration to Israel, France, North America, etc., as recently as 1948 there were 250-300 thousand, the largest of any single country in the Arab/Muslim world. And my own Montreal has 20 or maybe 25 thousand Moroccan Jews, of whom (as part of the Jewish community of Montreal) I know tons!
lol yes that's a cemetery on the beach! it's so old back to thousands of years so the government kept it for a reaspect of the dead people there even though that place is very beautiful for other projects near the beach.
Those two danish hikers that were murdered in the Atlas Mountains really gave Morocco a bad name. Word of advice to females, do not travel without a male escort in a Muslim country.
The travel tip for Morocco is DON'T GO THERE. And if you do, stay in the nicest parts of Marrakesh, Casablanca, or Tangier. You start wandering away from the (somewhat) secure areas and you'll wind up like the two Scandinavian women who decided to go hiking by themselves in Morocco and won the Darwin Awards for "Best Lead Actresses in an Islamic Execution Video."
When I went to Egypt there were areas only the army could hold down. Oh and the guys with machine guns at the British Museum in Cairo REALLY wanted me to pay them $5.00 to take a picture of me. They got their $5.00. Now neighboring Sudan is at war. Don't want any "accidental" weapons discharges on cheap tourists. Have seen similar in Mexico.
@@GeographyKing I would say the US is mostly safe with small pockets of dangerous areas, whereas Morocco is mostly dangerous with small pockets of safe areas. So that's the difference. Nothing against anyone traveling wherever they want in the world, but people should know the risks of going to countries where sticking out like a sore thumb makes them a target.
Yes there is - it's how non - blacks differentiate that point on the continent where it is unsafe, undeveloped, and all around sh*tholes to stay far, far, away from. Dont be angry at whites or anyone when something you perceived as 'racist' arises. in SS Africa tribal/ethnic hate is off the charts. If these people see the tribe 10 miles away up a river as 'different' and the 'enemy' dont get angry at others when they do the same. God Bless, im sure you are a good guy, but I bet if I asked you where you would move in SS Africa if you had to you would say South Africa - where whites built industry and infrastructure that is being chipped away at since 1994 when Apartheid ended (which no one was for.) The nation has been, and now is at a 3rd world hell from the corruption and mismanagement of the all black govt and the single ruling party that has won every election since then. Blacks there even admit their quality of life was better during Apartheid - that's sad. Whites there should get refugee status and America should take them in. (Unlike all these other scumbags coming across the US sothern border they have a reason. Same with the whites left in Zimbabwe.) Meanwhile China will pay pennies to the corrupt govt and strip the lands of all their mineral wealth all across SS Africa. Has already started. Life is hard there. Back Africans HATE Black Americans. Your whining, bitching, and moaning. No black child is born in America, or Europe without guaranteed food, clothing, shelter, for the baby and mom and a K-12 education. THAT'S NOT OPPRESSION - If anything it's absolute PRIVILEDGE. Get to be born in the most modern and advanced areas of the world and people not only treat you with kid gloves (lower standars) but have policies in place to ensure you succeed if you want to. Whites have CUCKED themselves into a pretzel - USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Every Black African I have met I liked. Respectful, well-spoken, and hard working. Black Americans? A mixed bag. There is no gray area. Either you are normal run of the mil everyday folks, or I am getting the F' out of where I find myself. Loud and obnoxious - everything spoken is DEGENERATE. 50 years ago the art and music was beautiful. WTF happened? Oh yeah, Lynden Johnson and the Democrat party that's what. When racism was worse it was so shameful because blacks were just god-fearing family oriented people. I am disgusted by the past for what whites did. Since 1970 on....aaah I kind of get racist thoughts coming and going. There are people of all races who SUCK and I beleive all of us have thrown away GOD - that's why we have the degenerate society of today.
friends spent 3 weeks there this summer and loved it - never felt oppressed or in danger and were welcomed everywhere!
Happy to see a fellow Chattanoogan visit my Motherland. Glad y'all enjoyed your visit!
Morocco was the first country to recognize America
There will always be love for the Moroccans here
I didn’t know Morocco existed until I had military duty there.
@@glennso47 shows how smart you are
I've been wanting to travel to Morocco since I was young. Happy about your video I can use as a guide.
Classy Whale does a decent job covering trains in Morocco and a few other aspects of life there
When/if I go, I definitely wanna see the “blue city” Chefchaouen. This is actually helpful. Thanks!
That Gordon Lightfoot album, Shadows, is my favorite of his. Extremely underrated record, good taste
First TH-cam video ive seen pronouncing Ceuta and Melilla correctly
Thank you Kyle. I’m a huge fan of your videos and I’m actually going to Morocco in a week so this is perfect timing 🙏

All right, you've officially given me a new mission in life. I'm going to visit Morocco just to try the orange juice.
Morocco is a beautiful country. Another city worth visiting is Essaouira.
Essaouira (formerly Mogador) was predominantly Jewish back in the day!
I want to mention some facts about Agadir, It has the most beautiful beaches in the country, host the national surf contest in Taghazot (a suburb village nearby) also its famous by the agriculture (tomatoes, oranges…) and Argan trees, where the endemic tree are from, famous by its oil

I'd love to get lost in an old medina just taking pictures
Lovely profile on Morrocco Kyle🎉
I would also highly recommend Essaouira. It has all the charm and culture of Marrakesh but on smaller scale with a more laid back atmosphere.
Had never thought about visiting Morocco, or Africa in general, but I am convinced, if only for that OJ! Great vid, as always.
Don't go in times of political turmoil. You may be a victim.
Morocco has no problems and it's very safe to visit with +15 million tourists a year@@rogersmith7396
I live in Florida, but had the opportunity to visit Peru and Colombia last year. The Orange juice (and all the fruit juices) were MUCH better in South America! Everything tasted like it was just squeezed that morning.
It was the first orange juice I've had that actually tasted like an orange, ironically.
next time you visit, let me know, I live in Morocco and I have good travel plans for you
Fascinating country. Thanks for the insight. I'd really love to visit someday.
Come to Athens, GA for your next geography quiz show!

On 17 December 2018, the bodies of Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, a 24-year-old Danish woman, and Maren Ueland, a 28-year-old Norwegian woman, were found decapitated in the foothills of Mount Toubkal near to the village of Imlil in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. (Wikipedia)
The video of it, for some reason is easy to find. Grainy and dark. One was on her stomach and her face during the act was not in the vid, only the back of her. Her friends head was nearby as she was already murdered. Both were gangraped before their deaths.

That particular video also talks about the petrified forests in Yellowstone park. And cake, as an illustration of geological layers. Cake is reason enough in my opinion.
Also, am I on the right track to assume that the food of Morocco could be its own video? :)
I was in Spain during COVID and so much wanted to visit Tangier but the transportation was on lockdown so couldn’t go. It was a big regret.
At the risk of being nitpicky, Graham Nash might have been a better photo choice. He is the one who wrote and sang Marrakesh Express.

15:46 ATLAS MOUNTAINS? ------ NO COUNTRY FOR WHITE WOMEN ☠😬
On 17 December 2018, the bodies of Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, a 24-year-old Danish woman, and Maren Ueland, a 28-year-old Norwegian woman, were found decapitated in the foothills of Mount Toubkal near to the village of Imlil in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. (Wikipedia)
The video of it, for some reason is easy to find. Grainy and dark. One was on her stomach and her face during the act was not in the vid, only the back of her. Her friends head was nearby as she was already murdered. Both were gangraped before their deaths. Ironic thing was is they were 2 far left women who championed Islamic immigration into their home nations. They went there as a show to nay sayers that Morocco and every place else is just other human beings no different from you or I. Yes and No. 2 Infidel Scandanavians and 4 Isis supporting savages on a desolate mountain (not ideal). They were caught, tried, and sentenced to death as they should be. Hope ya didn't camp up there for the night. Beautiful country but like anywhere else be careful. God Bless, enjoy your content. You are a good man.
WAKE UP EUROPE! WAKE UP AMERICA!🤔
OUR BORDERS, LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND DEMOGRAPHICS WILL NOT BE SURRENDERED THROUGH OUR OWN MISGUIDED CHARITY AND CUCKOLDRY. SOME OF US WILL GLADLY SPILL BLOOD - FACTS😡
Awesome vid👍
Thank you!!!!
Never ever thought of the word "tanger"ine before!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Your Mt tip is spot on King Bro THANKS all its better than that little Helen Ga way😉
Thanks Kyle.
Spent a week on Casablanca 25 years ago. A commercial center with none of the charm of Marrakesh, etc. a fun and culturally interesting week nonetheless. The women are gorgeous!
Europeans use fresh squeezed orange juice and charge accordingly. All Americans have is frozen concentrate which is cheaper.
Gonna Google Moroccan OJ and see what comes up.
Wait, a geography king video where he DOESN'T talk about the food? Are you okay Kyle?
I'm always curious about how many photos and videos, if any, were taken by you.
For this video, not many were mine. The ones of Tangier, the trains, and most of the Atlas mountain ones are mine, but the rest are from one of the photo services I'm subscribed to. For the channel overall, anything aerial or drone is not mine and most of the skyline and nature landscape photos taken from afar are also from the photo sites. The videos where most of the images are mine tend to be the ones on individual cities as I usually post those videos shortly after visiting there.
I heard a rumor that there is currency for locals and a different currency for tourists. And that the tourist currency makes trqveling there more expensive than for locals. Wish yiu wouldvr spoken to that, if true
I've certainly never heard of that, and we didn't experience anything like that. We used Moroccan dirhams the entire time.
Who's that picture of on the album cover in the background?
Canadian legendary singer Gordon Lightfoot
Something this video fails to mention: the large Jewish population that used to exist in Morocco. While now there are barely a couple of thousand Jews in Morocco, due to emigration to Israel, France, North America, etc., as recently as 1948 there were 250-300 thousand, the largest of any single country in the Arab/Muslim world. And my own Montreal has 20 or maybe 25 thousand Moroccan Jews, of whom (as part of the Jewish community of Montreal) I know tons!
Bring me back a fez
It’s a cool country. I went summer of 2022. But the endless sales pitches get old quick
8:38 is that a cemetery?
I believe it is.
lol yes that's a cemetery on the beach! it's so old back to thousands of years so the government kept it for a reaspect of the dead people there even though that place is very beautiful for other projects near the beach.
🇲🇦❤
Funky cold Medina?
Oh, no you dinnut?!!
wait a minute... Kyle speaks French ?!?
Barely
Not Ifni?
Those two danish hikers that were murdered in the Atlas Mountains really gave Morocco a bad name. Word of advice to females, do not travel without a male escort in a Muslim country.
The history part was vague and highly inaccurate.
The travel tip for Morocco is DON'T GO THERE. And if you do, stay in the nicest parts of Marrakesh, Casablanca, or Tangier. You start wandering away from the (somewhat) secure areas and you'll wind up like the two Scandinavian women who decided to go hiking by themselves in Morocco and won the Darwin Awards for "Best Lead Actresses in an Islamic Execution Video."
Unfortunately true.
When I went to Egypt there were areas only the army could hold down. Oh and the guys with machine guns at the British Museum in Cairo REALLY wanted me to pay them $5.00 to take a picture of me. They got their $5.00. Now neighboring Sudan is at war. Don't want any "accidental" weapons discharges on cheap tourists. Have seen similar in Mexico.
You are playing by their rules not yours. No one is afraid of America. Don't be a dope.
So, basically like the US then.
@@GeographyKing I would say the US is mostly safe with small pockets of dangerous areas, whereas Morocco is mostly dangerous with small pockets of safe areas. So that's the difference.
Nothing against anyone traveling wherever they want in the world, but people should know the risks of going to countries where sticking out like a sore thumb makes them a target.
Sharif don’t like it…. Rock the casbah.
Petticaris alive or Razuli dead!
Heres looking at you kid.
Look here Bashaw, have you ever heard of the big stick?
Nope
There's no such thing as 'Sub Sahara' Africa Kyle
Yes there is - it's how non - blacks differentiate that point on the continent where it is unsafe, undeveloped, and all around sh*tholes to stay far, far, away from. Dont be angry at whites or anyone when something you perceived as 'racist' arises. in SS Africa tribal/ethnic hate is off the charts. If these people see the tribe 10 miles away up a river as 'different' and the 'enemy' dont get angry at others when they do the same. God Bless, im sure you are a good guy, but I bet if I asked you where you would move in SS Africa if you had to you would say South Africa - where whites built industry and infrastructure that is being chipped away at since 1994 when Apartheid ended (which no one was for.) The nation has been, and now is at a 3rd world hell from the corruption and mismanagement of the all black govt and the single ruling party that has won every election since then. Blacks there even admit their quality of life was better during Apartheid - that's sad. Whites there should get refugee status and America should take them in. (Unlike all these other scumbags coming across the US sothern border they have a reason. Same with the whites left in Zimbabwe.) Meanwhile China will pay pennies to the corrupt govt and strip the lands of all their mineral wealth all across SS Africa. Has already started. Life is hard there. Back Africans HATE Black Americans. Your whining, bitching, and moaning. No black child is born in America, or Europe without guaranteed food, clothing, shelter, for the baby and mom and a K-12 education. THAT'S NOT OPPRESSION - If anything it's absolute PRIVILEDGE. Get to be born in the most modern and advanced areas of the world and people not only treat you with kid gloves (lower standars) but have policies in place to ensure you succeed if you want to. Whites have CUCKED themselves into a pretzel - USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Every Black African I have met I liked. Respectful, well-spoken, and hard working. Black Americans? A mixed bag. There is no gray area. Either you are normal run of the mil everyday folks, or I am getting the F' out of where I find myself. Loud and obnoxious - everything spoken is DEGENERATE. 50 years ago the art and music was beautiful. WTF happened? Oh yeah, Lynden Johnson and the Democrat party that's what. When racism was worse it was so shameful because blacks were just god-fearing family oriented people. I am disgusted by the past for what whites did. Since 1970 on....aaah I kind of get racist thoughts coming and going. There are people of all races who SUCK and I beleive all of us have thrown away GOD - that's why we have the degenerate society of today.
Yes there is. It means south of the Saharan desert.
If the orange juice is that good, i might have to go vist there just for the fresh OJ
Just buy some oranges and squeeze it. Americans drink frozen concentrate. Its so they can store it off season. And now Florida is blighted.
