-Morocco is the first country to recognise the US as an independent country

[aselasel]

let me correct you my friend, there is no western sahara there is only Moroccan Sahara also we got our independence in 1956 not 1955 plus it is okay if you are vegan you can reject the food in a polite way and your host family or where ever you were at, they will cook or offer you a vegan meal just ask, yet i do thank you for your precious video about the united kingdom of morocco ps: you can use your left hand in doing things just dont eat with it because we believe that in using your left hand in eating food the devil will eat along side with you only if its okay with you to share your food with satan lol

Being Iberian, I have a special kinship with Morocco. Since the era of al-Andalus, we Iberians have some Berber blood in us. I definitely want to visit Morocco someday.

They don't get pissed if you refuse meat but if refuse food or drink like Moroccan tea, this is because Moroccan people are very hospitable and kinda feel offended when you refuse food or drinks but if you explain to them it's fine.
And for the left hand it's because we use our left hand for all the dirty things like toilet of course we wash our hands after we finish but it's preferable to use the right hand to eat or do other things, of course if you are left handed that's completely fine.
This is not only in Morocco but in all Muslim countries

I am proud of being Moroccan, and so I am pleased to see others emphasize its greatness, or even mention it. Thank you for the video, which albeit I am Moroccan and a sort of H&G nerd, contained a lot of numbers I hadn't known before. Here I want to add a few facts in case you want to make a part 2:
1. The oldest still functioning university in the WORLD is Al-Quarawiyyin University in Fes, built in AD 808.
2. Morocco is the largest exporter of sardines and argan oil in the world.
3. Morocco has about 3/4 of the world's known phosphate reserves.
4. The Alaouite dynasty is the second oldest continuously-ruling dynasty in the world (behind the Yamato dynasty in Japan, which is seriously old).
5. Morocco is one of the oldest kingdoms in the world (since AD 788 as you said)
6. Morocco and the UK share an 800-year-old relationship dating back to 1218.
7. Morocco was colonised by France (1912-1956), Spain (North and Sahara)(1400-technically today), Portugal (1415-1578 I believe), England (Tangier, 1664-1684), the UK and the States during WWII, as well as the Netherlands, Germany and even Belgium.
8. The first accurate map of the medieval world was made by Al-Idrissi, working for the Emir of Sicily. It's called Tabula Rogenia and it was used by navigators up to the Age of Exploration.
9. The Moroccan Empire (unofficial) at one point had a surface area of over 3.3 million km^2, making it the largest indeginous country in African history, and even bigger than the German colonial empire.
10. Also, RedOne, French Montana and David Guetta are all either Moroccans or have Moroccan heritage.

[blackpearl]

You are totally wrong, berbers are the people, Amazigh is the true moroccan language and arabic came later from the Middle East.
Amazigh is spoken and written language.

Great video, very detailed. I'm Moroccan and I want to "correct" some facts presented in the video. First of all, it's true that the majority of Moroccans are used to eat with the right hand, but you can use whatever hand you want without offending anyone. Also, we won't be offended if you deny eating meat (I don't know where that comes from). That aside, great video and so much effort put into it !

Love my Muslim brothers in Moroco from Pakistan... in our language Urdu we Write #Marakish and in English it’s #Moroco... ❤️

[ridethelightning]

I just find it amazing that everytime westerners show Morocco, they're always showing the the poor, the old villages etc. It's like saying "look ! let me show you New york" and you start by showing east NY Brooklyn or queens bridge projects.

[moniquepetit]
