Everything I use to film:

While I am on the go, I film with my iPhone 11 Pro Max on the Dji Mobile Osmo 3. This allows me to get super smooth shots. I combine that with the either the Saramonic lavalier mic or Rhode mic and use a mount to attach it to the gimbal.

Lavalier Mic:
Rhode Compact Mic:

When I film at my apartment, I use my iPhone Pro Max as the main camera and my Canon 6D with the 24-105 f/4 lens for B-roll and photos. For the overhead shots, I use an overhead camera rig to mount my Canon 6D and connect a camera monitor so I can view the shot. And when my camera is set up on the ground, I use a quick release tripod. For lighting, I use the Neewer ring light and for audio, the Saramonic lavalier mic or Rhode mic (Linked Above).

To edit, I use DaVinci Resolve on my MSI GS 66 Stealth Gaming Computer. To store all of my footage, I use the SanDisk 1TB SSD Card.

Me and my Fiancé were just there for the New Years, incredible experience. My fifth time to Morocco.

The incredible idea of hiding the beauty inside in order to keep the harmony between the poor and wealthy is just mind-blowing. Thank you for sharing, and many of us in America can implement this thoughtful idea. 😍

I MUST ADMIT…I visited MOROCCO over dozen times…I saw all the major cities and I watched over 50 videos about Marakash …Nonetheless; THIS VIDEO IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN…BRAVO…WELL DONE…👍❤️🙏

“Some people have watches, some people have time” incredible tour guide! Love everything he’s saying. I’m hoping to visit Morocco someday! Great video ❤

[courtneyburton]

I love the communal bread oven, that's so warm and real, I wish my community had this

[mehdisabiri]

Yeah exactly " some people have watches, some people have time" the tour guide is amazing

I went on vacation in Marrakesh. For seven days, my imagination was taken away by the museums and the art collector I ate in Bastila and Rafisa Haqq restaurants. I was in a wonderful hotel and the morning breakfast was delicious and they had delicious fruit juices. Good people I will never forget those days

[cookiemonster-]

The guide is really knowledgeable and pleasant to listen to.

[mahdisaadi]

Ohhhh the guide was cool and awesome 👏👏 respect for him also "Anglais n9iya 😂"
If you still there I recommend visiting Agafay to see desert and Imlil to see the mountains. It is wonderful that you can do a lot of diverse activities near Marrakesh.

Very sweet video.I'm going to Marrakech next Monday. I love that it's your honeymoon...I first went to the city in 1991 when I was courting my hubby! The YSL garden was empty during our visit in the afternoon.We had it all to ourselves. There were only a few tourists back then mainly French. The spirit of Marrakech will never change, it is so near the UK yet worlds away. Thanks for posting.

[susannorman]

Thanks for taking us along! What an interesting place. Love the tile mosaics and the market especially. Your tour guide was wonderful.

[sallyhostetter]

What a wonderful time guide you had. Thanks so much for sharing this vlog. I was fascinated with the community oven and all the lanterns. Looking forward to part 2.

[nataliedawnhall]

This was a lovely vlog! I'm going to Marrakech in a few days and I definitely feel more informed (and excited!) after watching this :)

[rblaverte]

Beautiful, acute and really clear accent. You did well to visiting a beautiful country with its antique cuties and friendly people.. 💐

Morocco 🇲🇦 amazing County amazing architecture..

We met Youssef yesterday who took us through the Souks on an absolutely wonderful tour.
We learned all about the history of the Souks, interesting facts about Morocco and got to see and buy trinkets off the beaten track.
We have would have never seen some of the things we did without Youssef and saw and heard about the real lives of the people of the Souks.
Could not recommend booking
The guide for the souks and getting the best experience possible.
