As a woman, it is important to dress modestly, covering the shoulders and the knees. Women dressed with exposed knees and shoulders were glared at and some comments and cat calls, made. Also, as a woman, it took some time to get used to being ignored when ordering food and coffee. It is a little thing, but annoying. Also, negotiating when shopping was a bit of a grind because the vendor was almost always male, and there was usually a condescending and patronizing attitude. So be patient with that, and if you can speak French, do so, I found that people were more accommodating when I spoke French. Taking pictures of local women is really frowned upon, and were told not to do it at all. Patience is required in many situations as I found that most people did one task at a time, rather than take two or three requests. Again patience was key. If you can be patient, the people are very nice.

Spot on advice, plus wear dark glasses so that the shop owners don’t follow your gaze as you browse uninterrupted😄great country, wonderful Moroccans

I have been to 157 countries. This was one of the best informational videos I have ever watched. Great stuff

I'm Moroccan, born and bred in Italy and living in the UK. I must say, you sir have become an expert. Every info you gave was accurate, the first thing dad does when we arrive in Morocco is go and buy me bottles of water, I just can't. I'm from Casablanca and Essaouira, welcome any time! And you certainly should visit the northern cities of Chefchaouen, Tangier, Asilah, and the beautiful beaches of Martil!
Lots of love 💗

Having lived here in Morocco for over 34 years, I can confidently say that tipping is not ALWAYS expected. Moroccans, in general, do not tip. Tipping, which is voluntary, takes place in places considered as being upmarket and high class. That said, following a few days of touring with an official tourist guide and vehicle driver, tipping, to show appreciation, is normal practice.

Hello.
From a Moroccan. I wouldn't advise tourists to spend all their stay in cities such as Marrakech or the Sahara desert.
There's a lot more in the north of Morocco. such as Anger and Ottoman or Casablanca and Rabat and Nador, houceima...
Give the North a chance it's much more beautiful and open-minded. Especially for parties people go to Casablanca and have a lot of fun there
Just try to avoid the poor neighborhoods of course. Marrakesh is an ancient-minded city so don't be surprised when you see a lot of catcalling and modesty. In Casablanca and Rabat and the other big cities, there are no standards for modesty no one cares.

the reason why moroccan food is not commonly found in restaurants is because for moroccans traditional food is what you'll be eating at home (and it usually tastes the best when homemade) and so when going out you'd want to eat something you usually don't have in your house, like pizzas and burgers! there are still however many great places for traditional moroccan food that you will certainly find in every moroccan city

We have just completed a 10 day 4x4 roadtrip from Marrakesh over the Atlas mountains to the Sahara and back. Our Morrocan guide was very good. When arriving we didnt wait at all, our pre arranged taxi didnt turn up, but we decided to take the first available taxi, it seems always available at a very good price. With buying carpets or anything you have to negotiate. The roads are fairly safe to travel on. Our accommodation over the 10 days were excellent. So it seems that the well known Riads/hotels etc are very good. The food was amazing. You could eat very healthy here as a tourist, from that point of view better than in some European countries. Good meat Tajines, and lots of vegatables if you want to. Very nice bread, dont expect however a big brekfist. All in all a very comfortable experience, not a lot of dont’s and do’s. If you rent a 4x4, expect it to be a used 4x4 full of scrathes and dents, but at returning it, no problems experienced with trying to accuse you of causing the damage. Actually a very tourist friendly country. And yes, dont try to film people, you wont get any good shots. Agree with the variety. If you are tired of the Europian buss and cities, Africa is it. And Morrocco one of the best. Not too extreme, but sufficiently different with very good landscape in the desert and Atlas mountains, and very interesting historic villages. No game, thats in Southern and Eastern Afica. And for that reason for me a must see destination/adventure but not one that I will necessarily teturn to. Its tiring. Very hot. And no dune driving, only sand. Guides are not trained for dune driving like in Namibia.
