Gari, this (pre-boarding control) is a requirement of the British government/authorities 👀. And because the flight is operated by Ryanair the control is done ahead of the boarding.

All flights from morocco to the UK : there is a random extra security check at the gate for explosives

Gari my man. Subscriber here on L'Ocean.

Why not go from Casablanca

There have been screwups even at Prague airport post-Covid. They were advising to arrive 3 hours before your flight at one point, though it seems to have normalised again now. My best score is boarding a flight having arrived just 30 minutes before at the airport (I was younger then, now I'm more risk averse).

Sardine cane? Didn't expect the last scene🎉

Some controls are for checking belongings some for papers and some for face rections. Because Morocco and most muslim coutries are unfortunately targeted by terr.orist netwoks based in Europe and roaming all the world. I usually go early to the airport to give enough time for these checks too. My all respect and understanding of your true feelings. I like to follow your videos and get inspired from them. Thank you Gary.

That amlou pancake ended up being expensive 😂. Next time don't drag your feet in Jamaa el Fna.

Moral of the story- show up early and wait

😂😂😂

At the outset you mentioned ryana/ir cryanair. Anyone who even uses their nam,e deserves every bit of shit that comes your way. You were made to feel insignificant and cheap,,,hello Michael O'Leary and ryanair/cryanair. Only assholes mention this awful irish shit company

Sir I fly very often with Ryanair , but I just want to correct you the fact of going to the check in with a printed version of your ticket is not dependent on the Moroccan airport but it is rather a requirement of the company ....and of course I fully agree with you that the Moroccan airports need a lot less security and more smiling officers ....I too hate going through all of that security hassle as if I am a criminal ....it is not a nice way of receiving foreign tourists ....I just arrived to Morocco from Algeciras and it took us 2 hours of tight security check on the boat before we were allowed to land and yes they asked me about the number of my CIN card (knowing that we don't have such a thing : national ID card in America ...and yes I forgot once in Marrakech airport the custom agent even asked me about my boarding pass ...which is is ridiculous ... one in Agadir they asked me about my hotel booking ...I have never been asked such silly questions when entering Spain Portugal or Italy ....as I travel with a strong American passport ....but I have learned to always have my hotel booking printed before entering Morocco ....despite all this I still love morocco and I am still willing toi spend here most of the year , even if I have to exit every 3 months and then come back

All of the points raised by this video are all valid points. I have flown in and out of marrakech atleast 15 times since 2016. There are frustrating amount of checking and rechecking of documents and personnel. Most airports in the world, if there is a flight that is about to depart and it's gate is about to close, they usually announce it on the intercom and passengers of that flight who are still queuing in immigration control get priority and get called to the front of the que or a separate booth so they don't miss their flight. Morocco is a wonderful country with beautiful people, once this airport shenanigans is fixed, it'll be a world class country.

you actually don't need a printed booking i just show them my passport or my ticket on the phone , why did you say that ?

The same happened to a friend of mine at Stansted airport. He missed his flight because the queue was very long and he couldn't check in in time.

with sadness, I agree with you!

I can travel from Rabat to Marrakech for 90 dirhams. That's about £7 stirling.

Ryanair always send an email every time I fly out of Marrakech warning to😊😊😊 arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before flying. One time I hit a queue 200 meters long outside the airport security check. Even though I was 2 hours ahead of departure time, i was still too late, boarding was closed when I got through. That was easyJet. About the officer that checks you stamp to see if the previous officer stamped your passport correctly.... He saved me a lot of hassle one time,in my opinion.... because his colleague didn't stamp my passport correctly. So next time I would attempt to leave the country I would have had big, big delays. Marrakech airport lesson.. check your stamp before you leave the desk.

Hi Gary, I can understand your frustration with the long lines and lack of response from the airport staff. I think the best strategy is to always leave yourself some extra time, and pack your patience. I travel frequently in and out of the country, and I’ve never had to show a printed version of my ticket, not even an electronic one. Anyway, hope you made it on your second try.

Arab efficiency why just about every Arab country is riddled with corruption and ineptness.Someone had a documentary saying Arabs cant win wars because their armies are just as inept as their society

They're redeveloping the airport to increase the number of travellers next year, but the size of the airport isn't the only problem the number of security checks are too much you need to pass through 6 security checks before you get on a plane. Thankfully the government just appointed a new head at the administration that runs airports in Morocco and he's promising to improve the experience in Moroccan airports. This is our biggest problems you'll find Moroccan bureaucrats traveling all over Europe but never implement what they've seen as practical solutions in their respective administrations

We are dealing with the same situation in germany with Ryanair then we have to print our flight tickets and we have to show them to the checking personals. And I think that you should know that you have to be at minimum 3 hours in the airport before your flight. I do my best to be more than 3 hours there. But beeing there late and expecting getting your flight isn't logic. We have once lost our flight in Frankfurt in one of the best and biggest germany airports.

How frustrating! Though there is pretty much the same number of security checks in eg Bangkok- with someone double checking the passport exit stamp' ,and there is entrance security at many airports- The difference is that each check there is fast and efficient.

Hey gary i didnt even finish the video but i just want to tell you that i want to trade my shithole of a country for the Uk ,stop praising shitrocco whilst you live in gated community

Welcome to Moroccan adventure 😂😂😂

You can just show ur electronics ticket in your phone next time,try it !

You know that Morocco is a third world country when you accepted to live in so why are you complaining ?!!!! In UK there is no thing stupid there so why not staying in your own country and leave well ? I can't understand I will never live in a country I don't like with stupid rules .

In morocco, it's a rule always show up to the airport 5 hours prior to your flight.

It's frustrating Gari . But sometimes s.. happens

This! I've been saying this for years, it's not just Marrakech airport, it's all airports in Morocco, last time in casablanca we spent 2h30 in check in queue then 1h waiting for our turn in passport controle, then missed the time, hundreds of ppl frustrated and stressed about missing their flight, they had to delay the flight untill everyone got throught the passport controle. all in all, airport service in Morocco sucks.

it has happened ,to me every time , thankfully only once have I missed my flight. and that was the uk end thankfully not at Marakesh.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️huuuuuhhhhh bruh. You know i have a sister she worked in aeroport she used to speak of what is happening in there,,,, man what can i say total catastrophie . At least 90% of the staff there are in the job by mediation not by skills and competance the majority of them are outsider of this domain from the flight attendant to the baggage handler.

karna org maroko banyak merantau ke prancis, belgia, dan quebec... jadi bahasa pertama yg mereka fasih di maroko setelah bahasa arab adalah bahasa prancis

What’s happened ?

Obvious macron in Rabat right now and people are happy as we can see

Thanks for this.

Interesting intro Gari

I still like your channel, Mr.Sullivan.

Well you can still celebrate it and eat cheap

Miserable Broken Britain

England is now crime riddled, aggressive rude and violent behaviour inflation, homelessness, deteriating streets and roads only the corporate buildings are fancy, in the 90s it was paradise what on earth has happened, btw immigration is a smoke screen, and people are dissapearing? V a x???

This is true I left for Cali , 8 years ago ... As Eng; and had become a complete state. The people really have no idea how affected by gloom they are ...People have these pathetic snobby to try and improve their load. It just helps reduce them

TBF the French are horrid.

Your take on that Bus situation is absolutely spot on. It was labelled "The Banality of Evil" a book on Eric Eichmann the mastermind of the German Rail system. That was needed to organise the transportation of People to Concentration Camps and the Gas Chambers. Eichmann protested that he had never killed anybody. Only his actions facilitated the death of millions. It's starts with Blindly following rules.
