The Other Side of MOROCCO | Real Life in the Mountains

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Here's my previous video showing more of the beautiful blue lanes of Chefchaouen: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omeoeJKBqt6Bqq8 Both videos were filmed with my GoPro 10. There's good news and bad news. The good news is that it turns out the overheating issue was caused by the foam windslayer device I was using to help block out wind noise. Once I removed that it completely stopped overheating. The bad news is that without the windslayer you get the wind noise while filming outside. Also I still find the colors to be weird looking. Overall I think the DJI Osmo Action does a better job.

Hello Gabriel, I m so surprised to see hustlers / harassers even on this great vlogs of yours filmed in Morocco. As a French, I keep being insulted by a certain Wilson Korisava , treating me as being a fachist, belonging to the 3rd Reich , talking about colonization etc .🤔 Sooo weired and disrespectful ... A real shame on this peaceful , relaxing and highly interesting channel. (This kind of people should be banned from social média) Have a nice day, Gabriel and always my best greetings from Paris .🖐😃

I do prefer the GoPro 10 and love the colours. Last week i bought myself a charger and a spare battery for the GoPro 10 and today my wife bought me the GoPro 10 so I can go out and see foor myself wich one I prefer, the DJI or the GoPro 10

[@TalkTalk44]

I was in Morocco in 1972 the people had been very friendly and helpful .We stayed for close to two months and we loved Morocco.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Very cool.

[@theodoresmith5272]

That was my favorite part of Morocco. Not many pushy people. I stayed right outside the high gate into the city. I woke up to the sound of trucks and people pretty early. It was market day. The smell from all the fresh herbs, spices and produce was so good. The mint tea there was a glass stuffed with fresh mint on the stem. So good. Best in morocco.

[@theodoresmith5272]

@قاطع الشك باليقين true. Its the density of them.

All cats are good luck. I enjoyed coming along on your hike Gabriel.

I loved the hike, thank you for taking us on this adventure!

Thank you for this coverage, the trail looks amazing with encountering all those lovely cats.

[@tarikallali3296]

Gabriel, you are most welcome in Morocco. As a Moroccan I am really surprised on the numbers of cats you are encountering...

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks. They were probably surprised to see me too.

[@margietucker1719]

I love cats--and they were beautiful! Yet I too, was surprised by how many! Guess most people there don't worry about spaying or neutering?

[@ponsaravanan]

One of the best videos in your collection.

[@sunshinegirl8216]

Beautiful view and some rugged hiking. The cats seemed very welcome and happy to see you as well.

[@saadamiens]

Hello Gabriel, happy that you didn't get hustled too much on this one, I am a Moroccan and I understand the frustration when people don't respect your privacy - I apologies on behalf of my countrymen , I hope that this won't leave too much stains on your trip, there is a swiss youtuber who goes to some less touristic destination who seems to enjoy himself, thought may be that can give some idea: moonshine and lemongrass - enjoy !

Those blue houses and everything reminds Greece here

[@clarkmadrosen1780]

That area looks like scorpion and venomous snake area. Cats make the hike fun. When i was in Tunisia, they were in some hotel lobbies. Stay safe.

[@sandvenexplorer]

Shows that even if you walk just a little while, you may find hidden gems and peace and quiet. 1 in 10 000 visitors probably hike the bit up there. Way to do it!

[@thecaveofthedead]

22 years since I was there, but I actually sucked in a breath when I first saw the mountains over Chefchouen in this vid. One of the best places I've ever been. Moroccan hustlers are the worst I've ever encountered anywhere, but they're only a very tiny proportion of Moroccans - although they make their presence painfully felt.

[@TheProjectDiamond]

Love and Light too you Gabe!!

[@effie-Toronto]

Gabe i watch your videos and like the way you present them

[@theadventuresofbrockinthai4325]

Hey Gabriel, another great video my friend. Back in the days when I could walk good I would do exactly what you did on this video. I would find myself in a place I had never been in and just walk not caring where it tool me. One of my favorite cities to do that in was Paris. What a beautiful city that was to get lost in. I would get on a random bus and go until the bus reached its end and get out and go exploring. I would see parts of Paris that most people didn't even know existed. I wish I could do that today because we have great cameras in our cellphones. Some of those places were just beautiful. But time has caught up with me and my long walks are over. I have to do it with people like you. So thank you very much for all of your efforts to bring us the best of the world.

[@sionehefa3458]

So glad you kept going up the track. Maybe that will be a mission when I get there - to explore the top of the trail. Thanks Gabriel.

[@fevertreeful]

Can't help but think he just walked up through an ancient cave settlement. The track seemed wide but neglected with fallen rocks. Houses set against the rock probable extended inwards. Some hillsides opposite that track were marked out as layered fields. I know C'Chaouen where the springwater surfaces but up there in the hills there would be old water source and streams.... Intrigueing video.

[@edwardsbarbara25]

Really do enjoy your videos. I so appreciate your humility and your attempt to show what things are really like. Please keep doing them for as long as you can!

[@harryrambler]

[@roygoad2870]

Geez lovely friendly cats 🐈😺🐈😺

[@crispywisp]

That last bit you said about Kentucky, North California, and Montana made me laugh. It reminded me when I went to central Illinois with a friend. Like they’ve never seen a person of color in their life. We walked in a fast food chain, nice friendly girl over the counter smiling, turned our head on our shoulder and there they were farm guy hicks with long beard all quiet and staring at us. We were rushing to finish our meal because we thought we would get shot there by someone with a shotgun. Haha.

[@margietucker1719]

Hello from Texas, C! I was born and raised in central Illinois--sorry that you had a negative experience there. Keep in mind that many rural people will give you a hard stare--just because you're a stranger, in a place that everyone knows everyone. I found that out for myself when my husband and I moved to a rural area of Southwest Virginia. I would wave and smile at people--no response--just a continued hard stare. They were that way in this particular community--yet other towns people were friendlier. Go figure? Glad I'm in Texas now--where people are super-friendly even if you're a stranger.

[@petermateer]

I enjoy watching these videos of yours shot in places off the beaten track. When you were a bit lost in Fez and ended your video watching and listening to a gnawa band you stumbled onto in a beautiful restaurant, it was like a dream come true for me to see that. I was thinking today how you might enjoy exploring the city of Akka in Israel. It is said to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world and is a very unique special place too.

[@Paganbreeze]

Quite weird it felt too hot for you. On November 11th the highest temperature in the city of Chefchaouen was 23 C. With elevation where you were I think it was cooler. I just think that the sun was too warm. But you were lucky that it didn't rain. November is supposed to be the one wettest months in Morocco. This year the Azores high was too strong.

[@cameraadventure5026]

Like this type of landscape always remind me to Greece or Turkey...Mediterranean always brings something special in your video i think :) btw GoPro part of video looks very good for me at least...

We enjoy all your videos. The unscripted walking, details of the accommodations, and the pics and price of food are all very helpful. We are looking into traveling to Morocco soon, in spite of the annoying hustler problem. Your videos are most excellent! Re your Kentucky people comment: Visit Kentucky sometime: Red River Gorge, Keenland, the Lexington Horse Park, Lake Cumberland, Cumberland Gap, Berea, and Pine Mountain Little Shepherd trail. Yes, when you go up a holler in eastern Kentucky, the people are probably armed and cautious -you have to be when police take two hours to arrive after you call them. I found Kentucky hill people to be very kind, generous, and friendly; "they will give you anything, but won't let you take nothin' " ----not unlike a lot of the world's rural poor people.

Hi Gabriel, Going into the mountains has a southwestern feel to it with the cactus you're always going to find people living off the grid but it's true what you say if you are in the U.S. there would be somebody out there with a rifle these days with an AR-15 nonetheless very interesting landscape.

[@michaelahass2695]

Wonderful landscape, great hike, looking for the... mediterranean sea.. the best ! But we can still see this amazing blue sky and so much sunshine. This are the reasons, I think we should still. travel to Morocco..for the desert, the mountains..avoiding the tourist places, we 've already seen. Best greetings from Paris and know, Gabriel, that I much appreciated your last vlog , before leaving Morocco. Everything is correct , the pure reality of this country. All this northafrican countries have this culture ..of hustlers , which is so aggressive and difficult to handle for us , who have other values, education and certainly the notion of RESPECT, which seems to lack over there. I guess you re back home and wish you Happy Thanksgiving after many intense experieces and adventures. 🖐

[@wilsonkorisawa7026]

You never miss a chance to call North Africans uncivilized animals in your comments. As a French colonialist with racist upbringing, you have no authority to give moral lessons to a nation that is 3000 years older than your Asterix and Sarkozy. France is getting a 5th wave of Covid anyway, and Morocco is imposing tight restrictions on retired French who want to escape the cold and expensive food costs.

Yeah, people might be glaring at you with gun in hand because they’d think you were there to encroach on their weed growing operation. LOL😆 In all seriousness though, be cautious when it comes to stray cats. Cats are much more likely to contract rabies than dogs because of their curious nature, running free and often not being immunized. According to world health statistics rabies is epidemic in Morocco. Be safe and continue to have great travels. Thanks for all your cool videos.

I have been around a lot of countries around the globe and I assure you Morocco is the safest country in the region. The laws are forged to protect foreigners and law enforcement units are oriented that way.
