I'm moroccan and a tampon user as well. You can find them in supermarkets and pharmacies. The Medina is very touristy...not the ideal the place for groceries and running errands.
Tapons are everywhere in Morocco but not in the Medina. The medina stores are not really convenient. They are mostly for tourism. The pharmacy and supermarket is the place to go for those
When you go to the square and watch ANYTHING (there is a lot to watch) you are expected to pay something. Don't take photos of anything, you must pay. And they will hassle the hell out of you. But if you just walk around they will leave you alone.
Don’t pay! Refuse! These clowns have no respect for tourists!!! One dipshit in the square called me ‘a bluddy fucken tourist’ cos I refused to pay fir a picture I took of a medical display. Also be careful where you eat! I caught E-Coli here!
If taking a taxi - agree a price before you set-off on trip. I loaded up my Wise card with DAM so I didn’t need to carry so much cash whilst there. If arriving at the airport and being met by a taxi company - you will probably be met outside the Airport and not by the baggage machine. Expect to take a long time to get through passport control. Hope that your baggage is still there on carousel! Go in March - very pleasant weather! Also it’s worth buying a SIM card - a got an Orange SIM card with 10GB on it for £43 from Amazon. You won’t get wifi everywhere and if you get lost in the Souks you will need Google maps to help you out. Final tip - get a VPN to protect your identity.
Your tip about money is so spot on! I wish someone had told me earlier! Changing money at the Airport was a complete rip off! I changed 1 GBP at the rate of 7MAD! When it should be about 12 Moroccan Dirhams! I should have just come here and withdrew money as the bank rates are a lot better!
@jarugie23 oh it was lovely, I went out to see the night life at the market. Ate grilled meat and salad, then in the day, walk and got lost in d surks, shopping and bargaining price. Drank so many fresh juice. Drank mint tea. Bought some scented oils I mix with my perfume till date. Visit the local garden and Ives St Lauren, day trips.
She went looking for tampons in a toursitic shopping area so they prob wont have it. It's best to go to the pharmacy or any supermarket, Tampons are everywhere there
I did ATM ..but still awkward..lol you take out 500dirham they charge 35 so you keep doing it (because you dont want loads of cash on you) so you end up paying loads 😂
There is a chance that the person giving you the „free“ Wifi will steal your data. Definitely NOT recommended in a tourist area where you’re not absolutely certain who to trust. There are ways to prevent that, but if I need to tell you then you just shouldn’t do it at all.
There was this woman who said she considered the availability of tampons in stores as a good index of how free women are in a country, and I kinda agree
Actually we have tampons in every supermarket and stores … But the Medina is not the best place to run errands so obviously you won’t find everything you are looking for. Also, we are free as women in Morocco lol
Beautiful country, yet the people we encountered ruined for me 😢. No matter where I travel I’m a weary tourist, but the amount of times we have been tested and a couple of times successfully scammed, just left me drained haha 😅. It was to a point quite harassing.

I have definitely had issues finding tampons in muslim countries before.
@zziaoe2311 never said it did!
@@morgan3llis001 just use band aid …
Carrefour always has them, just walk down the road from the medina to gueliz or get a taxi 5 minutes to carre eden and its inside 😊
@@morgan3llis001lol you're definitely looking to argue. 😅

Yes but supermarkets hard to find there not many ..awkward if you don't hire a car (huge deposit) but yes medina not for this

No, you don't have to pay. Just don't be shy and say no.
You don't have to, just ignore them....they do the same even to us locals, that's why I actually hate going to Jamaa lafna in particular
Basically don't go there 😅😅😅😮
@@yusuff156 If you keep saying no they will abuse you verbally... and chase you out.. trust me

Hi there! I am going by myself next week. How much does a taxi charge for a 15 mins ride from airport to hotel?
Your tip about money is so spot on! I wish someone had told me earlier! Changing money at the Airport was a complete rip off! I changed 1 GBP at the rate of 7MAD! When it should be about 12 Moroccan Dirhams! I should have just come here and withdrew money as the bank rates are a lot better!
How do you get money out of Moroccan ATM? Bring cash and open an account in Morocco?

Actually u can find tampons in the drug stores or super markets. Such as Carrefour or Marjane. Glad u had fun
On exchanging money- we took some cash with us and exchanged it there- got good rates and the rate was the same at all the exchange bureau’s in medina
Great tips, thanks
Thanks for the tips

Lmao you looked for tampons in the medina , it's the historig part, go to the modern one or to some supermarkets
Thank u , would say the same super and hyper markets are every where , and even in small market but sure not in Medina or mountains
Nice city i visited it last month
Thank you for the app 😊
Any standard super market will have tampons!
Useful tip in general, never exchange currency at the airport!! no matter what currency you're exchanging it will always be rip off
Thanks

Which microphone you are using for vlog
Ooo where did you get the lovely top on the first clip? ❤
Got a video coming tomorrow with all the info xx
Are there lots of nuts in thr food?
How do you get money out of Moroccan ATM? Bring cash and open an account in Morocco?
I had no issues with the ATMs in Morocco...
What’s the name of the riad you stayed at?
you stayed in riad orange? 😍
The tampon tip is so important
Pharmacies sell tampons in Marrakech and throughout Morocco. There are pharmacies everywhere in Marrakech. I grew up in one.
She went looking for tampons in a toursitic shopping area so they prob wont have it. It's best to go to the pharmacy or any supermarket, Tampons are everywhere there
thanks for the tips but honestly every single travel blog will tell you to avoid currency exchange booths that's a very very basic travellers tip 😭😭
exactly 😂😂😂
so where should we change the currency?
So Nice
Welcome Welcome Welcome
Beware, Morocco is not cheap.
Amen
How much do the atm charge
I did ATM ..but still awkward..lol you take out 500dirham they charge 35 so you keep doing it (because you dont want loads of cash on you) so you end up paying loads 😂
Hows the weather in august ?
Far too warm. Go in March.
Thanks for the info sweetheart
Its the easiest place to visit but she’s making it complicated but one advice from my experience get tour guide from Marrakech everything will be easy

Hey , how do I protect my devices from this please? Thank you
ATMs? They scam you as well. Been scammed in Greece two separate times.
so where should we change the currency then?
Guru maps is the best
Only cash in Marrakesh!
Kind of baffled by you looking for tampons in the medina and not thinking they propably have normal shops
probably closed during holidays
There was this woman who said she considered the availability of tampons in stores as a good index of how free women are in a country, and I kinda agree
I guess how readily avalailable it is definitely had some correlation with perception of virginity in that place
Actually we have tampons in every supermarket and stores … But the Medina is not the best place to run errands so obviously you won’t find everything you are looking for.
Also, we are free as women in Morocco lol
So the USA is not free since women's hygiene products are taxed as luxury
Beautiful country, yet the people we encountered ruined for me 😢.
No matter where I travel I’m a weary tourist, but the amount of times we have been tested and a couple of times successfully scammed, just left me drained haha 😅. It was to a point quite harassing.
Yeah, I hear Ramadan is not a good time. If it’s not your custom- i will skip that
What about condoms??
Every pharmacy has them
Tips for being a woman travelling anywhere then.
Wifi is terrible there
wow.. Wi-fi but no tampons..
Period bathers bestie ❤❤ Tampons can be so dangerous
i feel like that's an odd generalisation... as long as you use them correctly (take them out within 8h) then no, they're not dangerous
@@TheRosemaryWestmany tampon brands are made with bleached cotton which is carcinogenic & also can cause rashes and irritation from the bleach and pesticides used for the cotton.
the tip is DON"T GO
The fact that you couldn't find tampons is really horrible. Demonstrates the lack of choice given to those who need these products.
It’s North Africa.
We don’t have tampons in morocco
Why talk about period
Because women all over the world experience it monthly
Muslims do not use tampons.
Is internet reliable in Morrocco?
I personally could barely find wifi in Marrakesh and all of Morocco. I was there for a month and caved the last 2 weeks and bought data
