2 Days in Marrakech Morocco | The Best Things to Do & See | Explore the Medina & Hot Air Balloon

[@Vancouver.BC.1]

Hello, the oldest monarchy in the world is the Japanese, the 2nd is the Moroccan, and the 3rd is the British. Thank you for an exquisite video.

[@Craiglou]

Hey thank you for that and you are correct. Maybe it was the one with a family name or some other factor!. Good to know!

[@mustaphaaarif1373]

That is correct. ​@@Craiglou

[@SIDIJABOR]

I confirm 👍 👍👍👍👍

[@DOlum-dfx]

Unless England is not part of Europe. Denmark the oldest in Europe! And it is older than the Moroccan Idrisid monarchy. Just saying. Nice video!!!

The Atlas lions have not disappeared; they have only become extinct in their natural habitats in the wild. However, they still exist in the Moroccan Rabat zoo, thanks to the royal family, who kept them in their private gardens.

[@Craiglou]

oh wow I wish I could have saw them when I went!

Great video! How did you get fast track to get out of the airport?

[@ryanmendi5607]

You can buy it when you get your ticket. If you fly business or if you have status with your carrier (Gold, Platinum etc) you have access to fast track and the vip lounge.

[@Craiglou]

or you can pay cash when you land but it must be cash. The agent let me pay after they helped us through. She just came with me to get the money and I paid her. Everyone is very nice and welcoming!

The first black owned hotel in Morocco? That's incorrect my brother. We have millions of black moroccans who own many hotels all through the country but especially in the south.

[@Craiglou]

Non Moroccan and a five star? Also, I hear that a lot of moroccans dont refer to themselves as black but that was not the case when i went to visit. I never felt so at home! Have you heard that also?

8:06 First oldest 👑Japon 🇯🇵

[@Craiglou]

Yep just learned that. I think there was extra context that I left out like consistent family name or something. I cant remember bc it was a quick 24 hours.

[@Aitch-u3i]

Interesting to see African treasures and other regions have ended up in Morocco (and many other places) to these curators, this is largely due to the combined forces of colonial looting, trade networks, European interference in African affairs, and the global art market which serves western interests to take and own. Many curators overseeing these collections are from European culture and descent due to the ongoing dominance of Western institutions in the museum and heritage sectors. Efforts should be made to repatriate these treasures and correct historical wrongs.

[@Craiglou]

The owner of the gallery currently does and has worked with several countries for return and/or showcase in these regions.

[@tear6510]

They kept your drones? So drones not allowed in Marrakesh?

There are like two or three companies offering that tour. Ciel d'Afrique is one of them, and the best one i believe

[@brahimg_yt]

"marrakech" or Morr Akkosh means the Land Of God in Amazigh (native African language in Morocco), i don't know where he come up with that "To cross quickly"

[@benissa2322]

The guide was wrong, the name of the city came of the amazigh words "amor n'akoch" wich means "land of god", you can go ans check

[@Craiglou]

I’ve have heard ten different translations as of now.

Guide dont know. The Marrakesh earthquake measured 6.8 on the Richter scale.

[@Craiglou]

That is still scary! Are you and your family okay from it?

[@salimsaad9725]

The oldest monarchie in the world is not England. The Japenese dynasty is older!

[@Craiglou]

I heard that as well but is it continuous. I hear they dont have a family name. Is that true?

[@shirazadaonizuka6980]

Welcome to Morocco I hope you enjoyed your stay in this magnificent kingdom. To tell you that England is the 4th oldest monarchy, Japan comes first and Morocco is second. I advise you to read the history of Morocco it is just fascinating!!

No no you can film there is no laws stops you from filming.respet from morraccan American in Casablanca Morocco right now

Got it! I guess it was just frowned at if you had a camera in someones face that didnt like it. Good to know!

Guide he did a mistake the name of Marrakesh should to split to 3 words Amur n Akush which means land of god in tamazight language not as the guide he explained

[@hichamismailiidrissi2821]

According to my knowledge Marrakech (amorakech)the amazigh spelling,means the land of God.

[@Craiglou]

I think there are a few meanings to the world. Depends on who you ask and on what day lol

[@alhaddaoui]

The oldest monarchie is JAPAN not England. Morocco is up there with the oldest monarchies. But not the second oldest .1 Japan 2 Cambodia 3 Oman 4 Morocco 5 united kingdom. Morocco is the fourth oldest monarchie in the world.

[@shirazadaonizuka6980]

🤣🤣 Correction! The oldest monarchy is Japan, 667 years old, then Morocco in 789 years, then Denmark, please don't talk nonsense. I studied the history of Andalusia and some European monarchies and now I'm diving into the history of Japan and China.

marhaba in Marrakech... good resumee of all touristic, but not authentic marrakech :) the "women coop" is absolutely not woman's related :) it is a regular antique store :))) and your tour guide knows everyone, because they are partners, he get a percentage on your buys :) please come back and i will show you "real" and friendly locals that are not paid to smile :)

DONT exchange your money at the airport they ask a much higher rate than the local exchange shops

[@JanusJeffrey]

Yep. I land tomorrow and have kept this in mind

[@Craiglou]

I usually never do but I had to get cash for the fast track. I used an ATM when I got into town after that! Great advice because they usually get you at the airport. Morocco seems to be more of a fair play country where they are trying to ruin tourism through gauging.

[@jeffreywilde203]

@@Craiglou Have you been to Egypt? Cairo, Luxor, Aswan? WAAAAAY worse. $1 USD = 50 EGP cuurency so you can imagine how poverty stricken are some parts of Egypt. Actually had a guy try to grab my expensive Nikon camera, but he got taught a quick lesson. The gouging, touts, sellers actually gave me a headache. I plan to have some euros with me and the local currency.
