Morocco {Solo Trip}

There is no way I can articulate how important this trip was to me. So much of what people were telling me and what I was seeing in the news made me kind of scared to go to Morocco. We hear so much about Islam extremists that going to a Muslim country is unthinkable right now to most people. But it was exactly what I imagined {which is a big thing to say since so often reality falls short of our expectations}. The architecture was detailed and ornate, there are colors everywhere, the taste of the food is unlike anything else, and the people are friendly, warm and lively. It was beautiful.
Life lesson: Class and kindness translate in all countries.

My first solo trip ever was in Morocco, and since then, I've been there 3 times, is an amazing country with amazing people, and with a very rich culture that changes you forever!

[@MrsBilla-nu8qb]

I loved your video and appreciated that you included before and after comments. Going to Morocco was the best decision of my life and I love when others travel there and can also experience some of the magic of the country and the hospitality of the people. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Nice to read your comments.. what advice to others have you got? Where did you go? Any tips on food and travel in Morocco.. thanks..

[@BrahimRguibi]

Thank you, good words, welcome to your country, Morocco

This is just what I needed to see! I've been feeling drawn to Morocco and I'm going there for my first solo trip in a few days. Unfortunately, I've mostly been getting negative comments from people speaking their fears and it does make me question my decision and makes me nervous. Thank you for this and I hope I'll enjoy and feel the same way as you when I look back!

loved watching your video!! I have plannend to go on a solo trip to morocco soon so this was nice to watch

[@yassinelaz9690]

I'm so happy for you enjoying the authentic Moroccan experience. I sincerely think you mostly captured what makes Morocco special... the diversity of its landscapes, people and cultures... what unify the country... the history, the human values of its people and especially their hospitality, spontaneity, acceptance and opening to other people and cultures. There is much more amazing things to discover in this magic land. I hope you'll come back soon... Maybe next time with a group of your friends to share with them this moments of happiness. I can see it on your eyes speaking about your adventure in Morocco. Thank you for coming... Thank you for sharing this to the hole world. I hope this can help it to change its stereotypes and prejudices about an Arab/Berber/African/Muslim country and its people. Morocco can be summarized in Authenticity and Modernity... An open country in North Africa, 15km far than Europe. Morocco was called by the late King Hassan II "a tree whose roots lie in Africa but whose leaves breathe in Europe".

My first solo trip as a black American man was fucking awesome. This was 2014 and I made many friends, loved the food flavors and style of cooking, their history and beaches. I stayed in Agadir and I rented a furnished apartment, my friends showed me around. I was where the locals were and was greeted and accepted

[@HellsHord]

I'm an american who has visited morrocco twice and i found it to one on the most exotic cities in north africa. Rich in culture and artistry. safe environment tourist friendly, helpful people ideal for female travelers. I agree with FES the blue gate in the medina, and the majorelle jardin in marrakech are just a few of the breath taking sites of morrocco. the tile mosaics, the silversmith artistry, the spices, food, textiles and entertainers. an enchanting tapestry of culture that will facinate travelers. Your courage and zeal for adventure rewarded you with a memorable life enriching experience. At some point in your life i encourage you to visit thailand's Wat Phra Kaew - Temple of the Emerald Buddha / Grand Palace complex . Ancient palaces of the thai kingdom adorned with thousand of jewels and golden shrines. Thanks for sharing your experience and inspiring others. Wishing you Happy and Safe travels

[@ShesNotLost]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I feel like we only hear about extremists harming others and apply our fears to the world. It is so important to have an open heart! Rabat was amazing, so jealous you lived there!

[@abdelghafourhadari1102]

ShesNotLost You are welcome! The easy way to control the masses it's by playing into their fears; unfortunately the "media" here is doing just that to keep its high ratings!! Open heart = happier life. My parents still live in Rabat and I love it; there's so much to see & to do there, I love Fes too ; a lot of history & authenticity is still there!

[@mmans8191]

Thanks very much for sharing your video clips and pictures with us. You certainly know how to do it!! Arizona and Morocco have pretty much the same weather all year around. I've been to my favorite place in the USA many times since 1999: THE GRAND CANYON. When I saw your clip standing up next to that small river in Tichka on your way to Ouarzazate I guess, I remembered myself going down with the helicopter to the Mighty Grand Canyon River and taking pictures there. It was a great trip. I can't wait to go again. I love it soooooooooooooooooooo much. Keep up the great attitude, constructive thinking and very positive energy you have!! The best of luck to you!! Cheers,

[@ShesNotLost]

Thank you so much for your kind words! The Grand Canyon is incredibly magnificent and another great sight to see! Happy travels friend :)

[@mmans8191]

My pleasure, it's always great to meet people with open mind, heart and respect the other civilizations regardless of the language, religion, and skin color...I'll go to the North and South Rims of the best park on Earth, THE GRAND CANYON, and go down to the Mighty COLORADO River again in the near future Insha Allah...Take care and happy travels to you too!! Cheers,

Thank you for giving an sincere and transparent intro before your travel video. I'm going solo to Morocco in the Spring and I've decided to do mainly tours, tho I normally wing it when traveling alone. I don't know where your Riads were located but they were beautiful! Finding the right location is key to being comfortable to me so I normally stay in a central location near a main attraction(s.)

[@monaalami8222]

just one advice for the tourist 1-make your bag on front of you in the souks (the old markets) becaus there are a lot of crowds and don't show your expensive cell phone in the popular neighborhood of casa blanca city becaus some ados in the big cities zone you know ! devil is not innocent lool ;) for te rest of the country north, south or the east you are completly safe 2-keep your paper and the expensive things with you in the plane not who knows may be your suitcase will be lost one other things don't care about the mobile sellers those men love joking with the tourist and they usually do that to bring tourist's attention the same thing for the servers of marrakech open air restaurant and some times they and same touch the person for the same reason. don't give more than 2 dollars to the accrobat of Jamaâ Lefna place in marrakech or to master sneaks so morocco is not Iceland or Denmark but i think morocco is the most safest country in africa safe and may be better than south europe no guns markets no rape no terrorism Morocco is 15 klm from Spain so far of the middle east ans there is not a jock lool moroccan people is the second most kindest and welcoming people in the world According to the nternational Organization for Tourism this is list of the most dangerous countries in the world www.atlasandboots.com/most-dangerous-countries-in-the-world-ranked/

Seit Mitte der 80iger Jahre bin ich mit Unterbrechungen in Marokko, mein Traumland, 4 Std. Flug und eintauchen in eine andere Welt mit freundlichen Menschen, die zu Freunden wurden. Meine größte Tat war, 1996 einen Hund mit nach Deutschland zu nehmen. Durch dieses Vorhaben traf ich in Agadir einen Mann, der mich nach vieler Faxkorrespondenz zu sich eingeladen hat. So kam ich nach New York. Mein Hund Ninja flog viele Male mit mir dorthin. Mein Hund lebt naturgemäß nicht mehr, aber ich fliege immer noch nach NY.
