BACKPACKING MARRAKECH (& Essaouira!) 🇲🇦 Honest thoughts + hostel reviews!

[@ChelseaAddams]

Yess omg I loved Essaouira and I stayed at the Essaouira beach hostel too and loved it! The owner was over from the US when I went and he was so lovely and told me all about the hostel and the guy who he had in charge of the hostel when he wasn't there was so lovely and welcoming and invited me to join in with their meal at 3am for Ramadan which was actually so nice! If I go back to Morocco, I'll definitely be going back to this hostel!

Morocco 🇲🇦 is a great country. Don’t listen to those who only focus on the few cases among millions of visits to Morocco 🇲🇦

[@Yalla.britania]

@@ohigho1959of course in every touristic country you ll find a scammers and we encourage tourists to record them and report them so we can get rid of them 😢 they give bad image on a country that has a long history, great cultural and kind people

[@annalang5687]

aaaaand now Morocco is on my bucket list Great to see how much you enjoyed it!

[@BackpackingBananas]

I can’t believe it took me so long to visit!

[@HyperMoroccoTours]

Welcome

[@almondialiya]

@@BackpackingBananas yes we don t get tourists from uk or usa ..here in agadir most tourists are germain and french people..most moroccan people speak english so you won t have a problem with the communication and beleive me the prices in morocco are very fair and sheap for europeans and i didn't see people charging you other than what i pay as a moroccan...as you witnessed everything is on the internet ven the food prices because we have the option of delevery also...welcome back anytime . I don t think that you know that in morocco we have music festivals and we invite singers from usa and uk, mawazin is the biggest festival...in morocco we have some moroccans zho organise private wild parties with the Dj outside the urban areas...morocco is so peacefull and i always recommand you to mix up with moroccan people and be open to them, they can make your exeprience even better...i guarantie you every visite to morocco you will discover something new and different

[@eligeddes1808]

I'd definitely end up having to send a suitcase home!!! The floor pillows and lighting are beautiful!

[@BackpackingBananas]

That’s exactly what I did 😂

[@mamaalik12]

one of the best concise and entertaining reviews with prices / conversion and just really good useful knowledge.

[@TravelwithTravelarii]

Wow! Thanks for sharing your Moroccan adventure! Your detailed insights are super helpful for fellow travelers. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

[@seandesmond5560]

Great vlog wonderful Christie!!! 💖 Morocco looks amazing!!!

[@JuliaGlatthaar]

I love your travel videos, they inspired me going solo backpacking journeys a few years back and I am still hooked to your videos and the palces you show us. Went to Marocco last summer - and also stayed at the Assaouria Beach hostel - one of the greatest hotels I was at in a long time! Already hooked for your video on the Iron Ore Train, that is also high up on my bucket list:) Btw: Couscous is a special dish in Marocco, usually reserved for fridays - that's why the more traditional restaurants will only serve it on that weekday;)

[@HyperMoroccoTours]

Thank you for this lovely video, and welcome to Morocco

[@Useroelas97]

Thank you for sharing the beautiful moments 🇲🇦❤️

[@mapsandfootprints]

Congrats on 200K!! So excited for my upcoming trip to Morocco after watching your vlogs and thinking I definitely need to figure out a way to add some time on for Essaouira, it looks beautiful!

[@BilalBouayade-c4s]

[@amandamccormack9963]

[@ervinslens]

What a beautiful presentation my friend, flawless and outstanding cinematography!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@ryuhayabaker]

Went to Marrakech for the first time in December and really enjoyed it there. Was amazed how cheap you could go to the atlas mountains for and did a few treks, although i never need to know how they make argan oil again (think i saw 4 demonstrations in total). Food was either amazing (usually lamb shoulder) or average (usually chicken tagine). However the YSL gardens were brilliant. Disappointed that you didnt go in 😞

[@alice-elizabeth]

I started following you about a year or so ago I think, but I've only just started getting back into watching all your latest videos (I tend to do this with most channels I follow for some reason 😅). But I especially liked the South Korea videos. 😊 Morocco looks interesting too! I really like how you narrated this video with a voice-over as well.

[@emermugisha3211]

The gut wrenching feeling when you say 'vintage' and it's styles I used to wear!!! Otherwise great vid :)

[@nazlitechschool]

Morocco is an awesome country, Loved watching the vids.

[@BackpackingBananas]

It’s beautiful isn’t it 🥰 thanks for watching!

[@salimmahrar32]

You have so many other thing to see in Morocco! Chefchaouen, Rabat, Fès, the Atlas Mountain and the desert... Hope you will come back soon to morocco !

[@BackpackingBananas]

All on the list for next time 😍😍

[@almondialiya]

@@BackpackingBananas beleive me next time will not be enough to see it all

[@johnhelenius]

[@saidamrani3756]

[@lindamarietravel]

[@BANGTEEZ_IN_YOUR_AREA]

Did a lot of first in my Moroccan trip - quad biking, caramel riding! So so much fun and really lovely people even if their English is not that great will go out of their way to communicate with you ❤

[@Rhonda___]

I want to see what you purchased...🎉🎉

[@Vancouver.BC.1]

Lovely! Thank you very much

[@SunkissedAby]

Thank you for this video ❤ I’m part Moroccan and I love that you’ve loved our country 🥰 personally me and my mum don’t really like Marrakesh because we feel overwhelmed, but Taghazout is a nice place. We recommend Fes, Tangier, Chefchauen and Agadir ❤

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thank you for the recommendations 🥰 I’d definitely love to try and visit those places when I next return!

[@abdobouz6226]

Glad you've had a good time in Morocco, hope you'll make it back soon ❤️. Btw I've been watching your channel for a long time your videos actually helped me with packing up, as i am usually the one ending up with packing the whole closet 😂

[@ema-b1h]

0:45 its originally a liwan probably, some sort of water utility to cool the entire house usually with a roof open above ,its drowning the heat outside this way, in MENA architecture;)

[@hm3458]

You are right, you can vsit Morocco again and again in order to explore other regions and cities. Welcome to Morocco anytime 😉😁

[@saedo9723]

Too bad the desert adventure didn't fit. It was the most memorable part of my trip there. Desert fun, camel riding, and slept outside under the Milky Way

[@BackpackingBananas]

I’ll make sure I make time for it on a future visit ☺️

[@zakariafilali6225]

Welcome to morocco ❤

[@Aymano2013]

You welcome any time..as you like

[@youtubereceivesenseIJN]

Love ur vlog

[@Wildsunchild]

Every single person when I went were incredible and I traveled to rabat, Chefchaouen, Fez, rural areas with host families, and Marrakech. I was never once scammed, and I was just a little 18 year old girl wondering around with other 18 yo girls. People also say you shouldn't go without a guy... I didn't experience anything other than the occasional catcall and that was only in Marrakech. Disclaimer: Do not go if you don't have self-control. I almost bought everything there was to offer when I was there! Also.. I miss the mint tea every day. And the food was to die for

[@Vailslife]

Dia Hostel is awesome, the manager is a great guy, he gave me a discount when someone told him that I came to Marrakesh to volunteer with the earthquake relief

[@agdach62]

This is Morocco, my beautiful country.

[@marzoukyoussef8908]

Nice video ❤❤ welcome to morocco ❤❤

[@BANGTEEZ_IN_YOUR_AREA]

Did a day trip to Marrakech from Agadir and wasn’t in love. The longest day of my life. Agadir was just beautiful already from London 😂

[@ExplorerLife.]

I stayed at riad dia in December it was such a nice hostel and well located but wasnt happy about one of the workers booting a cat 😬

[@Ruffio1977]

Café Des Épices had my favorite meal the chicken, lemon and olive tajine.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yummy! Sounds amazing!

[@Alam-Almostakbal]

Hi Christianne. When do you usually upload new videos?

[@BackpackingBananas]

The new schedule I’m aiming for is Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at midday. (But I don’t always manage to make this schedule😅)

[@barbaracourtens]

[@MoroccanReflections]

[@indietraveller]

Great video! I'm one of those people always cautioning about the souks 😅 I had so many scams in Marrakech... but honestly almost none in other places.

[@marcoprolo7318]

Just buy nothing and you won't get scammed.

[@yureituesday]

What’s “the Medina” and why were you needing to escape it?

[@yureituesday]

Got to that part 😆👍🏽

[@BackpackingBananas]

It’s the old historic part of town with the narrow streets and market stools. It’s lovely, but it can become overwhelming after a while.
