As a Casablanca citizen, I always praise my city and the evolution of it, but I can only put my hat down in front of the sincerity of this woman and her recommendations. Yes, in terms of safety for women, and just well being in the street we still have a long way to go. Regarding the "taking advantage from the tourist point", I will slightly disagree, but then once again each one has a different experience. If you are really attracted by Morocco and got scared by the all the negative points rose on this video, I would then recommend you the capital Rabat, which is a real example to follow in terms of safety, and you would still enjoy there all the pros of Casablanca, without suffering from the cons of our beloved Urban Jungle.

Hello, I watched your video before moving to Casablanca and it was really nice to hear your point of view, thanks :) however after living there as a young girl (blond+ blue eyes) alone for 3 months I can say that I had an amazing time. So I'll add my experience for people considering to move. Safety: depends where you live, don't walk alone at night (like in any big city) just take a taxi (careem at night is better because they pick you up at your door, but in the early evening a red taxi is fine: I had the best conversations with the taxi drivers). Sexual harassment: men may talk to you and ask for your number but once you clearly say no they leave you alone. If not, go to the nearest guardian, snack store or person, they are all very helpful. As a woman don't look into the eyes of anyone while walking, this will keep you from unwanted attention. Crossing roads: yes it is very scary at first but only on big roads (like in the video), so just wait till it is red for cars. 99% of cars stop and you can go. Watch out for mopeds and taxis. Pickpockets: watch out for your phone, I heard some stories but I never had any problem. In all, this was my experience. I hope this helps anyone that isn't sure if they should come. I really met so many nice people here, never felt unsafe (trust your intuition) and had the best experience. A little tip if you are bored on weekends, try surfing at for example Anfa surf school, it is so much fun :) but call beforehand to see if the conditions are good.

Watching this as someone who has lived in South Africa, Johannesburg is Casablanca X10 plus power cuts...moving to Morocco will be such an upgrade. Thanks for the video :)

I have traveled to Morocco specifically Casa Blanca and have never felt uncomfortable or cat called in any way. I do dress modestly but not over the top. I don’t wear hijab when there and do have blonde hair. Still no one bothered me. I walked around with a cross body bag and my phone in my hand with no issue. I sat at coffee shops and felt safe. I have family there and am often with someone native but even when alone I was never uncomfortable in any way. We even live near the old Medina area that is quite industrial at times. Always feel safe. My kids go out with their cousins and are ok.

Thank you for this realistic overview of life in Casablanca. In comparison, Rabat is a paradise (my own opinion).

[angelinavargas]

This is the most honest review I've ever read. Regarding the scamming of the tourists, Haggling is the norm there, I think the problem is tourists don't know a reasonable price and the merchant depends on this income.. I think that it is culturally acceptable to expect a tourist to pay more for a product or service. For example a Moroccan friend said he was overcharged in a taxi while vacationing in Istanbul Turkey. At the time I found it odd but he didn't find it to be unacceptable behavior.

The sexual harassment is something I just can't understand. These men come from a mother! I'm sure it is not all Moroccan men but I'd reconsider my own behavior when the women I love can't even walk down the street without being harassed by a man. There are also good things about Moroccans and Morocco. The culture is lovely, the people are family oriented. The food is also the best. I do love the tea except for the fact that all that sugar will make me fat.

So sorry that you had that experience. I really want to commend you for sharing it and putting it out there, the authorities are always watching these kinds of videos so that they can learn from an outsiders what life is really like in there cities and enact change. Casablanca being the largest city in Morocco has always been the country's most difficult city to tackle and although it has improved alot over the last 20 years clearly as you've demonstrated it still has a long way to go. And I agree with everything you've said. Thank you for sharing your experience and thank you for giving Casablanca a go!! Enchallah thanks to the power of social media and people like you Casablanca will get better and better over time. Also, please let us know if you move to a different city in Morocco and share your next experience, the good the bad and the ugly. We care and we want to know!

Good on you for being HONEST. I was considering the thought of going there, but now I feel like I need to more prepared and as a solo female with kids SAFETY is priority. I truly appreciate you ❤️

You're not kidding about the traffic. In a taxi I thought I was going to die. I kept on screaming because they get so close to other cars that it's like they're going to crash. When I went there I wore a full hijab and I still had men trying to touch me as they were walking past. I don't like anyone touching me so I had to hire a bodyguard. They weren't trying to hurt me or rob me, just brush by my arm. I just don't like touching strangers. I felt the same way in New York. That being said, I love Morocco and I've always hoped to go back. Though next time I won't go alone. As for the men staring you down, I would stare them back down. I would remind them that they need to look at the ground. Just put them in their place. It's the same way in Mexico though. If you don't wear tight revealing clothes you're not going to have to worry about being judged in an Islamic country. Being respectful of the religion and the culture is important. If you're wearing tight clothes that show the shape of your breast you're going to be looked at because many of these men are still virgins way longer than they are in America and poverty keeps them from being able to afford to get married. I don't think it's right to demonize them for this. Dress respectful and demand respect. The health care in Morocco is awful. I was shocked. When I went there I got pneumonia in Paris on my way there and I got so sick I couldn't go home so I extended my time there. I went to the doctor and I also went to the hospital. Both were an awful experience. I did feel like I was in a third world country. I personally didn't have much problems with beggars but I did spend a lot feeding the children who didn't ask anything of me. I don't think that beggars or hawkers are any worse in Morocco than they are in Egypt. I think Egypt is much worse actually. Yeah, I don't like Egypt.

Thanks for responding, I have another question if you don't mind. Do you think Essaouria is a better place to raise a family rather than casablanca? Cost of living wise, is everyone there more conservative etc? Thank you
