How Morocco Changed Me: The Power Of Generosity

This episode is about the wonderful Moroccan people, their generosity, and the power of that generosity to force me to overcome my discomfort in receiving, a key factor in my search for home.
Jere Harjula: Director, Videographer, Editor
Azra Isakovic: Story Consultant
Andres Schabelman: Host, Producer
Special thanks to our local guide Hasan @morocco_sight_tours
And lastly many many Moroccans helped us along the away, greeted us with open arms, welcomed us with plenty of mint tea and even more smiles. Thank you, and I hope we honored the hospitality you extended to us. Shoukran, Tanemmirt!

What a beautiful culture…

[@mmnmnbhjkkfftyyu]

I have been visiting Morocco for almost 30 years and traveling to all continents. And without a doubt the people of Morocco are the greatest treasure that this great country has. It has many beautiful cities and a varied and interesting culture, but nothing comparable to the wonderful people of Morocco. That is the reason why I have decided to spend the last stage of my life there, and I am very happy about it. I don't have enough words to thank the people of Morocco for so many things. Honestly, they have given me back the joy of living. I LOVE MOROCCO

People might hear about the "Magic of Morocco" but they won't truly understand it until they visit. Divinely blessed land and people 🤍

[@Schabelmania]

Truly

[@Schabelmania]

Thank you for watching ! I don’t take that for granted :)

[@ready2change34]

I watch all the videos, but I don't like the vibes of the Moroccan sellers. I hate that. They've scammed a lot of tourists, and we Moroccans also get scammed by them. So if you come to Morocco again, try to find a local friend, not just a guide or someone who speaks Moroccan Arabic and English. I hope you enjoy the vibes and traditions of Morocco.We also have the oldest bank and the first university in the world thank you

[@Schabelmania]

Wow thank you for watching and Jamal Alpha for the support !

[@fatihalhlimi4317]

حتى أنا شفتوا عند جمال 😂🇲🇦🇲🇦

[@ready2change34]

From my piont of view , The past matters for the present because it shapes who we are today. As Moroccans, acknowledging our history allows us to understand and appreciate the diverse mix of cultures that have contributed to our identity. We are proud of our heritage, which is a blend of African, Arab, Amazigh, Jewish, Portuguese, Spanish, and French influences. Recognizing this rich tapestry of backgrounds helps us to embrace our cultural diversity and understand the complexities of our society. By acknowledging our past, we can better appreciate the present and work towards a more inclusive and harmonious future. THANK YOU MR ANDRES WAKA WAKA WE LOVE SHAKIRA SONG THIS TIME IS FOR ARFRICA

[@Schabelmania]

Waka waka! And 100% agree on how your past allows us to embrace more and we need more and more of that these days. Thank you for your kind and deep comment.

[@AtlasBit]

I loved it when you corrected that worker when he said berber instead of Amazigh. Most of them are not aware.

[@tassisto]

What shouldn't be neglected is the feeling you get after giving something to someone. This is taught by our parents and is deeply rooted in our religion. As your guide said "to love for your brother what you love for yourself" is mentioned in the following teaching "None of you will believe until you love for your brother what you love for yourself." - Reference: Hadith 13, 40 Hadith an-Nawawi Your content is really of great value and very entertaining. +1 sub

[@Schabelmania]

Well thank you and love that part of your culture. It felt so good

[@jaouadlhilali7975]

Morocco and Moroccans welcome visitors from all over the world, and Morocco can be called an exception country because our geographical location is that our borders are close to Europe, Africa, and the Arab world. Moroccans have become more capable of integration.

[@Schabelmania]

Integration is a great gift and an important one given the world we live in. Thanks for watching and tuning in :)

[@Mar-ath]

A camel is a type of animal that you can't mistreat unless you wanna get harmed or probably killed. They really take care of their camels.

[@Schabelmania]

Interesting I had no idea but I also suspect the camels probably prefer to be wild? But I don’t know obviously

[@Mar-ath]

@Schabelmania No, the camel is resentful, rancorous. So he will remember if you harm him or mistreat him, and wait the right moment to attack you with the purpose of killing you.

[@Mar-ath]

A camel can also be a great friend and will always remember you.

[@Schabelmania]

That is so interesting. I did feel the camel return my love when I showed it to her.

[@Schabelmania]

Wow.

[@3abdouboufkri509]

What's so strange is that people are scammed by their systems and those who rule them. However, they are so scared of being scammed by people who ask them for giving few dollars . Those people atleast make you feel good and enjoy the moment. Imagine you have such a place in the USA, any sort of entertainment, will it be for free? While traveling, l appreciate my moroccan people for their kindness and hospitality. Elsewhere, people would run away from you just looking different, especially when you don't look as they desire.

[@hichamrjay478]

This is what we call Morocco, it is the original and the rest is tradition. Welcome to the land of love and peace🇲🇦❤🇺🇸

Welcome to Morocco Andres and everyone is welcome to our country, I would like to share my opinion why history is important ,i wanna say that when you know your history you know where you come from you don't be lost ,it's easy to move forward when you know your past and it's wonderful when you know you have a good things from the past it makes you proud and there is many wisdom tips and good actions left and we still act with .

[@Schabelmania]

That is beautiful yes. So much of my own history is “lost” because my family didn’t want to talk about the past since it was painful so maybe my own search for home has a lot to do with this sense that I don’t have a past. That being said, it also fuels my curiosity :)

Think you sir ....because of The teachings of islam and quran...... we are rised to respect ours parents elders teachers to feed the guests and to take care of the orphans and the poor people ..... Etc In morocco we are raised knowing that in every home thiere's a room ( guests rooms) that as kids we are not allowd to enter it always preapared to receive guests and visitor s and also in every house we have ( guests sweets) hidden of ours sights as kids we sneak to the secret place to steal some of it........ Tourists are guests and we see ours selfs responsible of thiere safety and good staying in ours country.
