My First Day in Marrakesh, Morocco 🇲🇦

I spend my first day in Morocco exploring Marrakesh, the beating heart of this nation. Stepping out into the Medina from my riad, I wander through the vibrant streets to Jemaa el-Fnaa and the Koutoubia Mosque, before sampling snail broth and taking in the festival atmosphere of the main square at night. The following morning I venture to the quieter Kasbah area,, visiting Saadian tombs and a palace.

I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and YouTuber who's been to 55 countries. I've been travelling around the world full-time since 2017. So far, my trips have taken me to Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas.

I have travel series' from many of the world's best (and least) known destinations. I filmed the first vlogs on my channel in the summer of 2016 after spending a year living in China. A proper solo trip around Eastern Europe followed after graduating from University in the summer of 2017, taking me to Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Kosovo. This trip marked the start of my efforts to make a YouTube full-time job.

After that European trip I went heavily into exploring Asia, visiting India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea and Kazakhstan (seeing me cover a lot of Far East and Southeast Asia in particular).

I have also travelled to North Africa and the Middle East fairly extensively over the last five years, filming videos in Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Israel and Palestine.

To date, I have not yet been to Australasia or South America. Though I am hoping to visit the latter sometime in 2022, along with a first stop in the Caribbean.

I've travelled to North America just once as a YouTuber, visiting Mexico in 2021. Though I have been to both the USA and Canada, this was as a child on family holidays.

So far in 2022, I've taken my first trip to Sub Saharan Africa, visiting both Kenya and Tanzania, before heading to the Middle East, stopping in Dubai and Lebanon. Europe followed, covering both the Greek and Turkish sides of Cyprus, and afterwards going back to Italy for the second time to cover Milan and Sicily. In the summer I visited the Caribbean for the first time, spending over a month in the Dominican Republic, before stopping in Belgium on my way home.

After shooting some videos in Taiwan, I made my way to the Philippines for the second time.

I'm in long-time love with Morocco... Quite crying recalling my trips around the country. Thanks from Kyiv

Hello Jason!
I’m moroccan and I live in Paris.
I’m really happy to see you In Morocco. I follow you since many years. It’s really Nice to visit moroccan villages for you, because you will see the real population of morocco, generous and kind with local people and strangers.
If you want to go to Agadir, I can give you some place to visit If you want.
Thank you, have a good trip ! 🤗

I’m way too much of an introvert to travel to such extroverted places, so I’m glad I got to see it through your eyes. The aesthetics can be absolutely stunning, there is clearly real beauty to be found there. Wasn’t expecting the Fear Factor snail section, good on you.

Fabulous Video as Always Jason 👌. Morocco has been on my Bucket list for Ever, & I had hoped to visit last January but there were too many restrictions for entering & leaving. I went to Istanbul & Bodrum instead which were also on my list😀. Maybe in the New Year I will make it to Morocco 🤞. I wish you & your family a Very Happy Christmas & Good Health & Happiness for 2023.☘✌.

[johntemps]

Brilliant. Thank you. It’s 20 years since I travelled through Morocco.

[edimarribeirodossantosjuni]

A very great vídeo, Jason!! Congrats! 😍 Marrocco is such an amazing country can't wait to see more from you!

[johnnici]

Jason, the magic of your videos is that you make the exotic seem accessible to all, and you do it will little apparent effort. I have been following you from the beginning and you only get better and better.

There's so much energy in this city. I work with a few Moroccans and they are fun-loving, lovely people. Would love to visit some day. But I was surprised to hear an old Bollywood song in the middle of the square around 15:40. Fascinating

[eesa]

Ahhh Marrakech what a place, i went there first in 2010 and its so different now

[gorgewalk]

Thank you so much for this. I'm off to Marrakesh on Tuesday for 8 days to escape Christmas. I've got an itinerary together but had crossed El Badi off after seeing a review 'it's just an old ruin'. It's now back on, plus the tombs!

[spaghettistef]

One of my favourite cities ever! Good luck with vlogging there… when I was there people shouted at me and got very angry every time they accidentally got into the frame of my camera! Glad to hear you haven’t had this problem so far :)

[SparkySenor]

Thank you for this Jason. I returned home last week from Inezgane (nearby to Agadir), I was tempted to take a trip to Marakesh and I now wish I had but towards the end of my stay, we had a sandstorm and then rain which put me off the journey.

[WillandSheen]

Excellent! Your commentary is on point as always. Very beautiful city I always loved the Moroccan architecture.

[goostrey]

Also, Casablanca is a great city, not cutesy and touristy but real and modern and now connected to Tangier by TGV. That side of the country needs to be seen, not just the "Crab with the Golden Claws" Tintin cosplay.

[Amore_more]

It was so interesting! Awesome! Thanks for sharing with us!

[karimboumelha]

[travelwithrado]

I had a great time in 2020 in Essaouira a beautiful ancient costal city in Morocco. I tried the best of local dishes but snailes I tried a month later the same year in Dijon, France. I am planning to go back to Morocco asap
