  1. DONT TAKE TAXIS ALONE AT NIGHT AS A WOMAN…. My driver tried to extort me for 20USD for a $3 ride! It was after 1am on a dark empty street, coming from a music fest. Also the streets were so alike I got confused and couldnt recall how to direct the driver so have a sim card to show the address name! Lastly Marrekesh is a chaotic mess but food is phemonenal and Rabat is like Santorini in every way and hosts the 2nd largest music fest in the world–2mill attendees in a week! I saw huge Colombian headliners there and David Guetta. The crowd was unbelievably hyped for the music! Good luck finding transport after tho

  2. PLEASE DO ONE ON CAIRO… SAME THEME, and one on safety (for solo travel). As for the souk, I felt guilty bargaining for stuff that seemed super cheap, so if their offer sounds reasonable, why not pay that if I can afford it? Who knows how many sales that 1 vendor makes in the whole market in a full day. I rather support that individual than to underpay for something

  3. This was chock full of excellent info enthusiastically delivered, thank you! I was on a live stream video with a travel agent about Morocco and in the first few minutes there were so many inaccuracies I had to click off 🤦 And I haven't even been to Morocco yet lol. But luckily that led me to find your video and I am looking forward to Morocco more than ever. Thanks for all your great information and recommendations. Hope you and your family have many wonderful trips! 🤗

  4. Been in Morocco with my family for over two months, I'm not a people person but Moroccans have changed that. I cannot say enough good things about them. As an Australian, I reckon there are as many scams, shonky salesmen etc, in Australia so really all I can give is one piece of advice, chill out and smile. This is a culture that enjoys a laugh and if you're to uptight, that's your problem. The second you let go and consciously decide to enjoy yourself will be when you realise what a fantastic place this is.

  5. Great information, thank you. On the subject of pictures: I don't have a phobia of having my picture taken, but I get really pissed off when people take my picture without my consent, even friends! I am a western European and live in north Europe. The new smart phone culture wasn't always around. Yes people had cameras prior to having smart phone, I sure did too, but we were more discerning of where and when to take pictures. So you mentioning that people should aske permission to take pictures of Moroccan locals only makes sense.
    I'm watching your videos cos my nieces are demanding I be the Father figure of the group, I need to know what I'm letting myself into. Fortunately for me I could pass as a local elder, just need to figure out dress code lol .
    Tank you for the comprehensive bits of info. 👍👍

  6. Thank you . Just one main shock I had there – as a woman , Europian, and solo traveller, you should be prepared mentally for the trip, if you don't want to have unpleasant or even scary experiences, like me. Just a long dress and a scarf for the hair is a MUST. I've met beautiful people there but it is deffenitly a different culture

  7. Between the sped up, shaky video and your pace I'm getting a head ache. Just a friendly suggestion; you can get the [frantic] aspect of this place across without creating it yourself. Thank you.
