When I lived in Saudi, I used to hear the "call to prayer" every day. It became so melodic and soothing. I miss that.

Hello, thanks for making this video. My husband & and I are highly considering relocating to Tanger. We are currently in Texas, and we're tired of the robotic lifestyle. We've visited Morocco before, and we felt it was for us.

[@LifeWithTheLyles]

We’re glad that our videos have been helpful. We’re certain you’ll make the decision that’s best for you two! Couldn’t recommend Tangier more🇲🇦

[@NizarBenouna]

Nice épisode i'realy like it 👍 Happy for you. Keep going

[@evelynbarry5046]

I am really happy for you about your doctor experience. It should be like that everywhere. I find the same service living in Egypt. I do love Morocco too

[@LifeWithTheLyles]

Thank you so much, Evelyn! Yes, it should be like that everywhere🥲So glad that your doctor experience in Egypt was also of the utmost quality and care.

[@Vancouver.BC.1]

Thank you, and welcome!

[@Nissa-s8b]

Love Morocco too. You inspire me . I'm thinking leaving Europa for Morocco.

17:38 😅👍 great nice touch haha so funniest 😊

To decide to have a baby in Morocco is the best idea. The Food Culture is very healthy and people are very helpful. Needless to say that the healthcare is pretty good. Looking forward to see how you progress in Tangier. The city of my birth. Enjoy the lush green promenades, the walks by the beach and escapes to all the forests that surround Tangier. I think you made an exciting choice!!!!!

[@LifeWithTheLyles]

We’re having our baby in the U.S. to be near family the first few months but we’ll be back in Morocco permanently in the summer. Thank you so much for the warm welcome. Your hometown is very beautiful & we couldn’t be happier to enjoy it🤍

[@KingslayerMax]

Welcome to Morocco guys! I hope you and your lovely baby have a wonderful life here

[@LifeWithTheLyles]

Thank you so much!

I love seeing African Americans discovering the continent their ancestors are originally from. Africa is a super diverse continent with so many different cultures and people. In Morocco you can see a sort of mini Africa with diasporas from many different African countries living there. The culture is also influenced by sub-saharan heritage in addition to Jewish, Arabic, Islamic, Spanish, Portuguese and even Roman.

[@ibnhabesha]

I am looking to move to Tangier from Europe. Great to get some of your experience.

[@LifeWithTheLyles]

Hi Guys! Welcome to living abroad as an American! You are going to love it. I have traveled 37 Countries before settling on living permanently in Portugal. There is nothing I regret about leaving California, only small things like it may take longer shopping and getting documents and stuff, other than that, its a better quality of life, safer and cheaper with fresh and better food, and as you all mentioned, Healthcare is cheaper and more intentional. By the way, those window shutters are all over Europe in most homes, the US is so behind on a lot of useful things that other Countries have.😅

[@LifeWithTheLyles]

Thank you so much! It’s so wonderful to hear about other Black Americans making the move. We’ve heard wonderful things about Portugal. We could agree more! Moving abroad was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made🙌🏾

[@teenatravelsabroad]

@ Yes black people should leave the USA because America is going to FAFO what it’s like now with Trump as president again and also see how much of our dollars the USA need once more of us leave.☺️🌎

[@adventureswithadrienne]

Yaaaay first comment ✊🏾 For starters, congratulations on your expecting bundle of joy, how exciting. I want to move abroad, but my husband doesn't want to go back to Africa 🤦🏾‍♀️ so now I'm stuck. He's African and doesn't look at racism and injustice like we do. I'm not sure what it will take to get him to see those things so that we can GET OUT. Anyway, I don't know you, but I'm excited for y'all. Many blessings on this journey. 12.3.2024

[@LifeWithTheLyles]

Thank you so much! We couldn’t be more excited🥰 We’re so sorry to hear that! We do hope that eventually he comes around & you both can move abroad, even if it’s not in Africa but to a country that embraces Black people & where you both feel most comfortable

I am a travel doula, moving to Spain. I am so excited for y’all. Looking forward to hearing more about your experience.

So happy for you guys😎

Amazing how physicians actually weren’t on a timer for your appointment. You get 15 minutes tops here! Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉! My biggest concerns? Aside from doctors appointments 🤣, Getting everything done, quick, fast and in a hurry - I admit, I’m spoiled. I was shocked to hear about the quick food delivery! Also, I use Uber, and it’s crazy expensive. BUT…My fridge went out on a 4th of July holiday weekend. From the time I left a voicemail, to the time maintenance installed a replacement? Less than 2 hours. Not 2 days, but hours. The rent is ridiculous, but service is impeccable. What is the bureaucracy like there (getting bills paid, service requests? I would work remotely as well, so internet service is crucial to my business. Lastly, I’m concerned about being an older, single female in that culture. Great conversation!

Add Nairobi Kenya to your bucket list. But gotta warn you, Nairobi is addictive for POC.

[@LifeWithTheLyles]

Say less! We’re adding that to our list📝

Cause in morocco we work and we get paid in month with 150 dollar per month

[@AJ-baraka]

Please tell the name of the doctor who provided you with good health care so others can use her service.

[@LifeWithTheLyles]

We’re not a fan of gate keeping so we’d be more than happy to share🤍 The clinic is called Anisa Centre Women's Healthcare Services in Tangier with Dr. Nadia Badyine. She’s the incredible OBGYN we had the privilege of receiving care from.

God Almighty says : * O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah(GOD Almighty) is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)*. (Qur'an)

Having things stolen from you constantly is exhausting. Replacing items every month feels like an uphill battle. Then there’s not getting your good clothes back from the laundry lady, or going to the phone company for help, only to have someone Bluetooth into your documents and photos-or even swipe your good battery. Using a public computer and finding out someone has accessed your Google account? Frustrating. Taking your shoes to be fixed and having them swapped for an older pair? Unbelievable. And having your dog stolen for a week, only to hear someone say, “I know where he is,” and realizing they wanted money? It’s a lot to deal with. And sadly, there’s even more I could say. MX
