Filming is not forbidan by the law in Morocco unless Defamation of a certain person with the intent to insult him. Just ignore these guys when you encounter them. I remember you experienced the same thing in the US one time when you did a hike, i can't remember exactly where. I have watched your videos since 2015 (from Morocco ✌)
Thanks for telling me that about filming in Morocco because what if i do have a future problem with the law enforcement (Police) or someone else trying to scam, rob me ? I need strong proofs and evidences to back up my defence.
People have had to fight to be able to take pics and film in the NYC transit system. With arrests and lawsuits. I guess they aren't aware that tiny cams are a thing or of the 1st amendment. Security guards to be worse than cops when it comes to filming/taking photos now in certain places. They can't do anything legally, but they can be annoying.
It’s part of their culture so he as a visitor has to respect that they don’t want to be filmed! When I was in Morocco I didn’t film as much in the medina bc I didn’t want to offend people. Places like the beach or museums I would film a lot. It’s important to respect others way of living and just read the room.
Hi Gabriel... Your Morocco videos have been a gas! I know Morocco well and appreciate your travels in this age of Covid. Just want to say how very lucky you have been there while very very few tourists are present. Your trips into the various medinas and ancient sites have been fab seeing it without the tourists. While almost everyone is struggling to survive without tourists your hastle with the very few guides etc has been quite hilarous. I understand you have been there before but anyone wowwed by your videos and deciding to visit Morocco for the first time needs to understand that this has been unique. So, learn the basics of French. Understand the exchange rate. And Chill big time with these Moroccain folk cos they need the money to feed their families. Thanks again for you work and big love to Morocco.
the man asking you no camera is a complete idiot ..even the way he said it was aggressive . you have complete right to film. if its happen again tell him you will call the police tourists are very protected in morocco
I watched every minute of this! I live in Rabat and vlog around Morocco. I can totally relate to the troubles of whipping out the camera there. I say "there" because I'm currently back the states. I've only been gone about ten days and this video really made me miss my second home. Next time you're there and those "wanna be guides" won't leave you alone, smile big and *politely* say "Safi, (or baraka... but safi is more polite) khoya, shukran bzaf". It works every time and you make just might make a new friend! I was still there when you shot this! I wish I had been on that end of town! I would have taken you to Hay Fath (south end of Rabat) to meet some REALLY great people!
Where have you been man !! I enjoyed your morocco vlogs you had an amazing journey even when they locked you up in there you made the best of it ...i salut you brother i really enjoyed all your videos ❤🇲🇦
Very beautiful video. I visited Rabat in 2014 and I was very impressed. Although it’s so far from Melbourne, Australia, but if I get the chance I will go there again and again. I loved the food, the culture and the great hospitality. Moroccan people are one of the best in the world. They have very unique and beautiful qualities.
I think your safety is most important. Do not take any risks and certainly do not enter into a discussion. I admire you for how easy you talk and move between all kinds of groups of people. Most also respond nicely. Your videos are a joy to watch. It's like I'm walking with you. I've also been to Tangier in that Medina. Everywhere you are approached whether you want to buy something or come and have a look inside. And then see if you can get away... Your footage is of good quality. Top YT'er!
Wear the camera on a backpack mount to completely remove the action of pointing the camera at someone. Most people will not even realize it is there, and you could always say it is not recording.
I understand how annoying it is to be interrupted by hustlers when walking in touristy areas, hell, even I as a Moroccan I get angry when it happens to me, but you got to understand that some people need to put food on the table and they think this is the way to do it, just ignore them and keep walking no one will force you to do anything you don't like.
I agree, in my experience the worst thing you can do is engage in conversation with them. I generally pretend that I don't understand what they're saying to me and walk on. The standard intro generally seems to be "Hello, where are you from?", I would think that a normal Moroccan just going about their business generally wouldn't do something like that, so it's likely that the person wants something from you. Just don't answer and keep walking. I've often found that they will continue to follow you, all the time trying the same phrase in whatever other languages they happen to speak. They soon give up when they realise they're not going to get anywhere with you, and seek out the next person to talk to.
So what about the begger in Casablanca who died and when the police checked him out he had an apartment paid for, a Mercedes and 50 million dirhams in the bank.
Great video!! Brought back memories during my visit in Marrakech medina and while finding my way, a reckless motorcyclist hit me from behind and injured my achilles and didn’t feel anything right after but it hit me the night before I returned to the USA. I ended up requesting wheelchair from Paris to my final destination. The trip was so much fun. Thank you
The difficulty with both filming and photography in Morocco is the fact that when people object to being on film, it's generally for religious reasons, not because they're shy or self conscious or trying to be difficult. You have to be mindful of that as a guest in their country. Discretion is always best, so walking around holding a camera out in front of you is bound to attract objections. As an amateur photographer who visits Morocco regularly, I've never had anyone tell me not to photograph, but I have had people cover their faces, which I often don't even notice until I'm reviewing my photos later.
What religious reasons?? I’m a Moroccan Muslim and I can tell you that Moroccans do not mind being filmed, just bcs that one man didn’t like it Gabriel is still in his full right to keep filming.
I'm a moroccan travel vlogger and I can confirm that Morocco is seriously one of the toughest places to film at, Moroccans are scared of camera for cultural reasons not religious,
@@codycarter6389 I’m a Moroccan and I can confirm you are full of bs😂 Moroccans are not “scared” or shy of camera’s at all neither for cultural or religious reasons that alone just sounds dumb. It’s one the easiest places that’s why there are so many travel vloggers in Morocco in the first place. Bro you need to chill out it’s just 1 dude that was ignorant and you ppl make it about the entire country
The last words I would use to describe Rabat is “gritty and intense” do not be mistaken by this video. Rabat is so calm and welcoming, the opposite of gritty and intense. I have lived in the medina (where he filmed) for a long time now and he has no idea what he is talking about.
The internet it is not slow. You need to have data in your cellular. Purchase the service from any internet provider and you will see the speed you want.
I've really enjoyed your series on Morocco thank you. You've done well to keep your patience and sense of humour given the pushiness of the guides and objections to filming. But yes, you are right, it is important to be respectful of local religious or personal sensitivities.
The Ryad is Bouqrun street , at 31h 50min ,, the consulates street ,this street was full of embassies and consuls since 13 century until the beginning of the 20th century..
I guess you are using GoPro as a camera? It is amazing how good the video quality and especially the sound quality is. You also manage to keep the video extremel steady with free hand. Well done!
I personally would not like to be in someones video while i'm walking in pyjamas in the souk to buy bread. I think filming in the souk is more acceptable in touristy places because locals know what to expect, and know they may be filmed.
A very nice video of the old part of Rabat. About filming, I guess the most difficult country is Egypt where filming is prohibited by the authorities. In Morocco, authorities have no problem with filming but some people are sensitive about being caught on camera. I think this has to do with traditions.
Great video as always! Interesting that there seems to be an increasing number of people who are aware they are being filmed, and don’t want to be on film. I can sort of understand it, and I wouldn’t be surprised if sooner or later it was required to blur out faces of any members of the public who haven’t consented to being in a video that will be in the public domain
Thanks. If consent was required from everyone it would basically be the end of TH-cam, as far as any videos that were filmed outside with people around. Imagine me running around trying to get consent from the hundreds of people who appear in this video (most of whom don't speak Engish)...and after I spent who knows how long doing that, when I started filming there would be different people in the scene who I hadn't gotten consent from. Literally impossible to achieve. So then it would be a video of hundreds of blurred faces. Hopefully it doesn't come to that. Better to allow people the chance to object either while filming or after it's been uploaded and the person can contact the creator of the video and ask to be trimmed out or blurred. That's happened a few times and I was happy to remove them from the video.
I suggest you contact other TH-camrs from certain countries and cities you'd plan to visit in advance. That would be very very useful and beneficial...
Hi Gabriel, You got a real taste of Morocco you traveled far and wide into the countryside as well as the cities I'm sure Casablanca and Marrkash are often crowded but very touristy and where most travel to the trendier locations. There's still a deep French influence from what I notice and it is still must be a place where tourists from France and Spain travel because of the close proximity.
For internet speed people use low debit Plans with a low monthly subscription. If you want a fast download speed like 40mb/s use the local phone sim card as they got 4g, that’s what I use everytime I go to Morocco and you can also use your mobile as a hotspot for your pc
Hey there Gab! You did the right thing by standing up for yourself. It is totally acceptable by the locals for tourists to film or Vlog…Being a moorish Moroccan and from Rabat to be more specific, I know exactly what ticked your guy off. All throughout the medinas in Morocco, certain parts are poor, not clean, and not well kept up by the locals. In some cases in the past, some tourists would spread images or videos of such nature, hurting tourism and giving negative advertisement for the country. Morocco relies on tourism as a part of its economy and so do the locals in the touristy parts of its cities. So in a nutshell, it’s this dudes pride and “love” of his country that made him object to your filming… Hustlers can be annoying even to us as a locals. But you seem to know how to handle them by now… Keep taking us around the world with you and I guarantee your next trip to Morocco will even be a better now that you seem to know the dos and don’t ✌️
@@Kitiwake Geez just ignore them. I travelled around Morocco as a single woman with my teenage daughter and had an amazing time. Just say no thanks and walk on.
don't feel guilty, man. you have to use you instinct to you best of your ability. your instinct told you it's okay to film, and consider your previous vlogs, you certainly know your boundaries. so, if you feel like it's okay to film, trust that.
If you want high speed internet you should buy i lical card sim itisalat or inwi or orange for 2 usd and 10 gb of internet cost us 100 dirham or 11 usd
I really love this video shot with the GoPro 10. Yesterday I made my first video with the GoPro 10 and I was really surprised by the result compared to the DJI Osmo Action.
Love your videos. I and my family will travel to Rabat soon, we don't know anything about the city, could you recommend any good tourist guide please ?
You are a brave man Gabe. With all the hustling and objective to filming, it's almost worth it to get some of the "BS" tourist guides. Just so that others can leave you alone!! Amazing place!! Love the seafront view. No wonder they used to think that part of the Atlantic was the end of the world. Beautiful👍❤
I wonder Gabriel is it possible to video the Northern Lights ? Is there settings on the video camera that would do that or is it virtually impossible to record irrespective of what video camera you use?
The person who said no camera is just idiot don t listen to him i like how u ignored him saying yes ok hahaha 🤣 u have right to record in Morocco no one have to stop you. And finally Morocco is really a beautiful country ❤️
I use different cameras, this one filmed with a Gopro. Whichever camera I use is always listed in the description. I just hold the camera in my hand and swivel the camera around.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Excellent thank u for replying .. hope u keep making these vids they r a joy to watch - Particularly like your Moroccan series ..hope u get back there soon
Most likely I will be going to Morocco in June and July of this year, 3 weeks total. I probably will stay in Rabat at least 2 nights thanks to your video, I wonder if it will be more crowded by then, certainly a bit hotter. I don't speak any language other than English but will do my best to use Arabic phrases.
I remember anytime I was near a police officer of near a palace in Marrakesh even on other side of road they would scream out to put camera away and that’s when it’s not pointed in their direction. Great vid yet again 👌🏻👍🏻🏴 Watching from wales 🏴 Uk
I could not be a TH-camr because of the confrontation you can have . He was angry at you because he doesn't like being filmed and getting nothing out of it . You are angry at him because you are not making a livelihood. I live in Australia but to be honest I don't like anyone filming me if I am out it's all about personal choice doesn't matter if it legal or illegal. .
Very enjoyable video as usual Gabriel, I would say you absolutely do have a right to film on a public street anywhere in the world except probably N Korea, millions of people have watched and enjoyed your videos, don’t think there is a single video especially a travel one made anywhere without a few by standers getting into it
We love your videos and watch them on our large TV. The camera setting in this video is difficult to watch with the fish eye effect. Apart from that these Morocco vids are very interesting.
Solution is also just to blurr the person who doesn't wanna be recorded. But usually we cannot really recognize the faces cause you're going just by so I really don't know why people have problem with this. 😅
Hey Gabriel. i think it is due to religious reasons that many people, in muslim countries, do not like filming in public places where women are walking around. But as you said you are filming the city and not particularly the people so as long as you keep walking and not pointing the camera directly at faces then you are on the clear.
Thanks for the video. I miss my country ..its annoying to see some people try everything to be the guide of tourists!!!!!! Orher than that everything seems good. And i really like the price of the riad room :)
our tour guide reminded us to ask permission before taking pictures in the touristy places. He mentioned the Islamic religion as why there were no windows in some buildings. I tend to belief this is the reason. Since he was a Berber and lived there all is life.
The place where you saw the graves, I wish you had walked in their direction. There is a massive graveyard that goes down to sea (I realize that’s not interesting to everyone). To me, it’s one of the most interesting things in Rabat, yet it’s rare to find anyone who mentions it. I did see that Middle Aged Runaway commented on your video. He did a video about his visit to Sale. I believe he showed some of the cemetery on that video.
Say thanks you and your people when you come you go to the best places ...... When we go to Europe or whatever we do face the street under the horrible weather ......
Hey Gabriel! I had the same experiences with hustlers in Morocco. There was a lot I loved about it but yes the hustlers are ruining it. Not to mention they detained me for my drone then put it in storage until I left and cost me 200.00 Durham to get back. Also yeah couldn't upload videos from there until I got to cape Town SA and was backed up the rest of the way. Crazy.
Hey Gabriel I faced the same problem here in the US in which one of the passing by stopped me and asked (in a very rude way unfortunately) that his footage be removed from my camera. It got so intense and he was making a scene so I had to do it. Anyways I noticed that if you get like a shoulder or chest rig for your gopro it might seem that you are not filming thus less interference from people. Also check out some of the new cameras that come with magnetic pendant in which you can just hang it on your chest and walk while filming. Unfortunately some people think that they have the right for privacy in public while probably hundreds of planted cameras on the streets and businesses are filming them everyday.
There's literally hundreds of youtube channels that are just people filming their walks around the world with no talking in the video. That guy has no reason to get loud at you. He just saw you as a tourist. 1 in a 1000 that are worth ignoring. I wouldn't even had stopped and spoke back. I would have kept walking unless he started following me or approached me.
i actually had someone become physically aggressive in one Moroccan town recently and insisted i deleted the photo i had taken of a street scene he happened to be in the background of. in Fes i experienced people shouting not to film , which was amusing considering i was in the very touristy part of the old medina .
It is very surprising to me that you always ignore the veryyyyyy beautiful streets and neighbourhood of all Moroccans cities but it is ok beauty is everywhere in Morocco .
When you like Gabe's video even before you've watched it, knowing it'll always be fantastic :) Love and Light bro as always x
I love Rabat and met my husband there, they live a simple life and it’s so peaceful for me there. Great video x
Filming is not forbidan by the law in Morocco unless Defamation of a certain person with the intent to insult him.
Just ignore these guys when you encounter them. I remember you experienced the same thing in the US one time when you did a hike, i can't remember exactly where.
I have watched your videos since 2015 (from Morocco ✌)
Thanks for telling me that about filming in Morocco because what if i do have a future problem with the law enforcement (Police)
or someone else trying to scam, rob me ? I need strong proofs and evidences to back up my defence.
People have had to fight to be able to take pics and film in the NYC transit system. With arrests and lawsuits. I guess they aren't aware that tiny cams are a thing or of the 1st amendment. Security guards to be worse than cops when it comes to filming/taking photos now in certain places. They can't do anything legally, but they can be annoying.
@@josephbenadam all i know is they introduced a law preventing filming policemen, aside from that do what u want

Hi Gabriel... Your Morocco videos have been a gas! I know Morocco well and appreciate your travels in this age of Covid. Just want to say how very lucky you have been there while very very few tourists are present. Your trips into the various medinas and ancient sites have been fab seeing it without the tourists. While almost everyone is struggling to survive without tourists your hastle with the very few guides etc has been quite hilarous. I understand you have been there before but anyone wowwed by your videos and deciding to visit Morocco for the first time needs to understand that this has been unique.

We dont have a strict, individual obligation to feed people though.

@@Kitiwake Geez just ignore them. I travelled around Morocco as a single woman with my teenage daughter and had an amazing time. Just say no thanks and walk on.
@@justmeoverhere3670 , I know quite a few Moroccons married American women.
don't feel guilty, man. you have to use you instinct to you best of your ability. your instinct told you it's okay to film, and consider your previous vlogs, you certainly know your boundaries. so, if you feel like it's okay to film, trust that.
If you want high speed internet you should buy i lical card sim itisalat or inwi or orange for 2 usd and 10 gb of internet cost us 100 dirham or 11 usd
Hey Gabriel, I hope you're leaving reviews on those slow internet hotels. Those are now one of the key components of my booking decision-making!
I really love this video shot with the GoPro 10. Yesterday I made my first video with the GoPro 10 and I was really surprised by the result compared to the DJI Osmo Action.
Love your videos. I and my family will travel to Rabat soon, we don't know anything about the city, could you recommend any good tourist guide please ?
Do not worry about some people. All Moroccans are loving and treat tourists with love. Welcome to Rabat
Can you post more food videos and you eating the food and telling us what do you think? That taco french looks tasty.
Rabat is a one the nicest city that should be visited. Definitely less hassle
thanks.gabriel .
You are a brave man Gabe. With all the hustling and objective to filming, it's almost worth it to get some of the "BS" tourist guides. Just so that others can leave you alone!! Amazing place!! Love the seafront view. No wonder they used to think that part of the Atlantic was the end of the world. Beautiful👍❤
Hi Gabriel, in your video on the roof ,I don't see any 5G towers ( which is excellent) ,did you see any around? Thank you for soon reply. Ruben
I heard Mc Donalds are suposed to have faster internet in Marocco in general
Gabriel... Which is your camera.....?? If you don't mind.
Gopro, link is below the video.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Thanks Gabriel...... And for your prompt response. I will be visiting Morocco next month.
Beautiful city
Nice video cool to eat by beach at the end!
I need you to film the bad side of Morocco. Not just what you like, film what you don't like too. I'm Moroccan by the way.
i'm Moroccan and That person who told you no camera ,does not represent me as a Moroccan
I wonder Gabriel is it possible to video the Northern Lights ? Is there settings on the video camera that would do that or is it virtually impossible to record irrespective of what video camera you use?
The person who said no camera is just idiot don t listen to him i like how u ignored him saying yes ok hahaha 🤣 u have right to record in Morocco no one have to stop you. And finally Morocco is really a beautiful country ❤️
Another great vid Gab - What camera's do u use to make these ? How do u get the camera to turn to face u when u r walking n talking ?
I use different cameras, this one filmed with a Gopro. Whichever camera I use is always listed in the description. I just hold the camera in my hand and swivel the camera around.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Excellent thank u for replying .. hope u keep making these vids they r a joy to watch - Particularly like your Moroccan series ..hope u get back there soon
Most likely I will be going to Morocco in June and July of this year, 3 weeks total. I probably will stay in Rabat at least 2 nights thanks to your video, I wonder if it will be more crowded by then, certainly a bit hotter. I don't speak any language other than English but will do my best to use Arabic phrases.
I remember anytime I was near a police officer of near a palace in Marrakesh even on other side of road they would scream out to put camera away and that’s when it’s not pointed in their direction. Great vid yet again 👌🏻👍🏻🏴
Watching from wales 🏴 Uk
I could not be a TH-camr because of the confrontation you can have . He was angry at you because he doesn't like being filmed and getting nothing out of it . You are angry at him because you are not making a livelihood. I live in Australia but to be honest I don't like anyone filming me if I am out it's all about personal choice doesn't matter if it legal or illegal. .
How did you get in? They closed their borders!!! I'm in Portugal waiting for Morocco to open
I arrived in Morocco in late October and left in November, just a few days before they closed down.
Very enjoyable video as usual Gabriel, I would say you absolutely do have a right to film on a public street anywhere in the world except probably N Korea, millions of people have watched and enjoyed your videos, don’t think there is a single video especially a travel one made anywhere without a few by standers getting into it
We love your videos and watch them on our large TV. The camera setting in this video is difficult to watch with the fish eye effect. Apart from that these Morocco vids are very interesting.
Good to know, thanks for the feedback.
Solution is also just to blurr the person who doesn't wanna be recorded. But usually we cannot really recognize the faces cause you're going just by so I really don't know why people have problem with this. 😅
In the odayas was shot " mission impossible 5" "Rogue Nation .. ..
Hey Gabriel. i think it is due to religious reasons that many people, in muslim countries, do not like filming in public places where women are walking around. But as you said you are filming the city and not particularly the people so as long as you keep walking and not pointing the camera directly at faces then you are on the clear.
Beautifl nice welcome to morocco
Thx Gabe!
Thanks for the video. I miss my country ..its annoying to see some people try everything to be the guide of tourists!!!!!!
Orher than that everything seems good. And i really like the price of the riad room :)
our tour guide reminded us to ask permission before taking pictures in the touristy places. He mentioned the Islamic religion as why there were no windows in some buildings. I tend to belief this is the reason. Since he was a Berber and lived there all is life.
Nice video ! It's sad you didn't visit my city Casablanca 😢 It's not touristy at all but that's what makes it interesting
Next video is of Casablanca. :) But it isn't a great one because I just walked around near the train station.
The place where you saw the graves, I wish you had walked in their direction. There is a massive graveyard that goes down to sea (I realize that’s not interesting to everyone). To me, it’s one of the most interesting things in Rabat, yet it’s rare to find anyone who mentions it. I did see that Middle Aged Runaway commented on your video. He did a video about his visit to Sale. I believe he showed some of the cemetery on that video.
Say thanks you and your people when you come you go to the best places ......
When we go to Europe or whatever we do face the street under the horrible weather ......
Hey Gabriel! I had the same experiences with hustlers in Morocco. There was a lot I loved about it but yes the hustlers are ruining it. Not to mention they detained me for my drone then put it in storage until I left and cost me 200.00 Durham to get back. Also yeah couldn't upload videos from there until I got to cape Town SA and was backed up the rest of the way. Crazy.
Welcome to Morocco 🇲🇦🇲🇦
Hey Gabriel I faced the same problem here in the US in which one of the passing by stopped me and asked (in a very rude way unfortunately) that his footage be removed from my camera. It got so intense and he was making a scene so I had to do it. Anyways I noticed that if you get like a shoulder or chest rig for your gopro it might seem that you are not filming thus less interference from people. Also check out some of the new cameras that come with magnetic pendant in which you can just hang it on your chest and walk while filming. Unfortunately some people think that they have the right for privacy in public while probably hundreds of planted cameras on the streets and businesses are filming them everyday.
Welcome to Morocco 🙏♥️
The persistent travel guides following you one after another are the best part of the video, LOL.
There's literally hundreds of youtube channels that are just people filming their walks around the world with no talking in the video. That guy has no reason to get loud at you. He just saw you as a tourist. 1 in a 1000 that are worth ignoring. I wouldn't even had stopped and spoke back. I would have kept walking unless he started following me or approached me.
Those hustlers ! Great to watch how you deal with them !
Gabriel, is that spherical wide angle lense you use? A bit strange...
Superview, basically a 180 degree view. I have mixed feelings about it as well. Kind of an experiment.
Gabriel I do not like that wide angle lens, makes me dizzy watching LOVE YOUR VIDEOS OTHERWISE
i actually had someone become physically aggressive in one Moroccan town recently and insisted i deleted the photo i had taken of a street scene he happened to be in the background of. in Fes i experienced people shouting not to film , which was amusing considering i was in the very touristy part of the old medina .
Welcome
It is very surprising to me that you always ignore the veryyyyyy beautiful streets and neighbourhood of all Moroccans cities but it is ok beauty is everywhere in Morocco .
