This video is pure acting like a victim. You interact with salesmen, you give them time and attention... Off course they will do their job all the way. If you don't want a product or service just walk away... That's common sense mate.
Nonsense. You cannot just walk away. You are heckled, sometimes verbally intimidated, and I even had a group of youths demand money and square up to me. Just because you don’t like the truth doesn’t mean that it’s different
@@Khalid_AitBaba you are right bro He already comes with a preconceived notion so it's normal that it's going to go badly. I think he comes and has bad intentions.
Do not lie. The locals in morocco are friendly and helpful Yes, sometimes they force you to buy products. But they will never harass or threaten you. The police, the government and the doctors are corrupt and criminals. I know the system in Morocco very well. I am Moroccan myself
@@InvestedAdventure actually, you can just walk away, that's literally what everyone recommends. Don't keep digging for a scenario where you can look like a victim
How am I overreacting? If anything, it ended up being a relatively positive video overall, when I expected it to be far worse. I went to show the truth, and I didn’t manipulate it when things turned out to be less bad than anticipated
The suitable question to ask is : How bad you are to Morocco? Or are you really welcomed here. in fact we want good tourists who can spend money not like some of tourists.also some don't respect our traditions . So the right question to ask is are you worth visiting our beloved country? Me, i don't think so.
It looks like you were sent by the enemy to bash this beautiful country. Nonetheless, I and many people I know had a blast in Morocco and can't wait to go back again and again.
Firstly, its far from a beautiful country relative to most places I've been. The culture is also the most hostile I have encountered. There also seems to be a fair amount of propaganda and censorship here in the comments. I showed the truth, as always. And as for the paranoid mindset of 'enemies' and undercover operatives... I think that says it all.
@@InvestedAdventure I still stand by my point that you are trying to demean this country. As an American, I love Morocco 🇲🇦 and will always be happy to visit.
I'm not sure that I agree, but thank you for the sentiment. They do seem like platitudes given my experiences that you'll see in the coming videos. Many of the people were hostile, and that's about the only unique aspect of Morocco versus the next country you could visit (and presumably not face a battle with culturally)
I completely disagree, Morocco has so much to offer, I have visited and lived there before as well as other countries and I am well aware of what I am saying in comparison to many others I know and watch videos on social media and other platforms who have visited the country. You need to open to explore the charm of the country and its friendly people, and maybe perhaps you will see what most mean.@@InvestedAdventure

There is certainly an old world charm to the place, and thankfully the people were pretty good to me overall, but there's no denying the 'edge' that exists there - and you must be prepared (particularly if travelling alone).

Please do not post comments like that to people as if many people around the world do not visit Morocco and post videos like you. Allow people to learn and explore for themselves. Your experience based on what you are after is your experience.@@InvestedAdventure
Hello, as a Moroccan myself, I understand where his opinions come from. However, I advise you to go to cities other than the most popular cities that are often busy and with intimidating sellers. And please, if the sellers keep insisting, don't give them hope that you will buy anything and just keep walking. I promise that this is not the case everywhere in Morocco. Also what you paid for your food was fair. Morocco is a beautiful country, you have to find the right places. I don't think the title is appropriate. It sounds disrespectful. But for the most part the video was good.
Thanks my friend. It has a negative reputation from the majority of travellers I have spoken to. Definitely an outlier in that regard. I found Marrakech to be better than expected - as I also convey in the video - though still not without reasons to be cautious as a solo traveller. This stance was vindicated as my trip continued. (I cannot agree with you that it was a 'fair' price for the food - but then again, I've eaten some of the world's best street food throughout Asia, at prices that will perhaps never compare to anywhere else in terms of value)
Bro, stop dramatizing things, scammers are everywhere in this world !!!! And you come to our country you should respect us, they are trying to scam people I know but you are the one who makes the decision for getting robbed or not !!! Marrakech is a touristic city. don't try to downgrade its image . we are locals and we know what's really going on there .
It’s not like this “everywhere” in the world. You clearly haven’t been to Indonesia, or the Philippines, or Vietnam, or Sri Lanka… a bunch of them there for you. All different regions and religions too.
You're just looking to get views. Don't make a lot of comedy, remember that your main objective is content for your channel. You are in a country with its culture and traditions, you are in the most touristy place in Africa, you know what awaits you with the sellers, if you don't want to play the game, there are many restaurants excellent in the city center. You pass by them and you agree to start a conversation to have content to film so you have to wait for the salespeople to insist, there is competition and everyone tries to convince the customer. I am Moroccan and the same thing happens to me when I pass by, if I find a salesman too insistent or if I want to stop the conversation, I leave and it's over, I don't do cinema with the camera on. the hand. PS/ 15 bucks for what you ate, is very cheap ! Don't think Africa mean free. You ate a lot quantity of food, a great food !
"if I find a salesman too insistent or if I want to stop the conversation, I leave and it's over" >> That's never been my experience in Morocco. You are intimidated and in many cases 'gaslighted'. Treated almost as sub human on many occasions. "PS/ 15 bucks for what you ate, is very cheap ! Don't think Africa mean free. You ate a lot quantity of food, a great food !" >> In your opinion. Go and see Asia. Again, their pricing was exploitative - 22 USD, then 18, then 15... its made up to extort tourists. No way is your average worker affording a 15 USD. Its street food. "You're just looking to get views. Don't make a lot of comedy, remember that your main objective is content for your channel." >> I showed the truth and the narrative was one of pleasant surprise. "You are in a country with its culture and traditions, you are in the most touristy place in Africa, you know what awaits you with the sellers, if you don't want to play the game, there are many restaurants excellent in the city center." >> The restaurants were mostly the same, selling overpriced tourist menus. Lets not try and spin things for the tourist board. Moreover, the culture was pretty immoral and not at all welcoming to outsiders. And, the camera changed everything - people were suddenly more friendly when it was around (savvy).
You clearly don’t understand how to act, the interactions with people that you’re having are the same for you as they are for me as a Local, sellers will persist and trynna start the talking with you, cause when u start the talking it’s done for them, if you dont want something just ignore them, and i insist on ignoring them. Also, you should have a local guide to learn from him how to act with these locals.
Yeah, must have been the 40 countries before your’s that taught me nothing… or, that your’s was a completely different culture (for worse) than anywhere I’ve been. That’s also allowed to be the case. My opinion is as valid as your’s. We have free speech in the rest of the world.
Bruv if you ain't interested in them, stop chatting them up for god's sake. They will obviously think you want their product if you start a conversation; they maintain shops for fuck's sake not a socializing event ... The victim mentality is taking over what's left of your brain.
@@InvestedAdventure No the victim is portrayed as guilty for looking for attention and trouble. Don't you think that if half your comments say the same thing, you actually might be in the wrong ?
How do you reconcile that with the 41 countries I’ve visited (40 of which I had no problem with), and the multi ethnic community that I grew up in? The U.K. is perhaps the most tolerant and diverse nation on earth. My experience of the third world has been quite the opposite.
To each their own, and I have yet to visit Algeria, but in my opinion there are many places in Asia that I would rank above Marrakech. That said, I acknowledge that I was in a touristy part...
@@InvestedAdventure Marrakesh way better than Rochdale Wythenshawe Oldham or whatever place you come from Remember that we never had colonialism never had slave trade not many war we not even 1/10 of your GDP … Btw people are averaging 10/15£ a day in Morocco get your 💩 together and be more serious if you want respect back
you went to the place where you gonna get annoyed by the sellers in the whole morocco where I blam the minister for not organizing it better, meanwhile we still have the best food in the world and rich culture, but you are overreacting about the food prices, all that meat and dishes for 15-20$ where you will get less amount of meat in amsterdam or any other western european country for same price. Also if you like lamb meat I recommend you to try the royal mechwi, you will taste the best tender juicy meat ever. In addition what make your video like you talk too much is the lack of noise suppression
Smells like pro Morocco propaganda. I always show the truth. How many countries have you been to? Marrakech is certainly not Amsterdam or Vienna. Its a poor country, dependent on tourism, with ironically hostile locals. Its literally the worst place I've been. And Asia has more interesting food for a fraction of the price (and way nicer people)
@@InvestedAdventure Sorry mate, you are really talking out of your ass. I mean Marrakech in no way represents Morocco. So the statements you are making are quite bold. The video's clearly are just being made like this to gain views.
@@InvestedAdventureyou just came here to bash the country it seems why waste your time and money ?marrakech has plenty of nice people you just chose to go to places that are notorious for scams and hustling
The chance of being robbed in London is way higher, and the walking scammers if you spit on the floor the will be demanding a false fine . If you wearing fancy you’re doomed
And who are the ones robbing middle class English people in London? Where does the organised crime stem from? English ale, or things originating and dealt by gangs from overseas?
@InvestedAdventure Morocco is not Marrakesh!! Marrakesh is different from other MORROCAN cities. Also, Marrakesh has different faces, not only haslers and scammers. There are many other places in Marrakesh without hustlers or scams!
The price was fair tbh cause you ordered a lot of different things, maybe not 22€ but the 15€ is. The rule is to negotiate with everyone, thats why they choosed a higher price at the beginning. Anyway maybe marrakech is not you vibe, then you can try somwhere else, cause even for moroccans marrakech is an exeption, if you want my opignion Rabat and Tangier are my favorites.
Thanks for that tip my friend - interesting to note your thoughts on Marrakech as a local. I actually rather enjoyed it, certainly compared to Fes and Tangier
We wish you happy and safe journey in Morocco , now you should understand when you visit these specific type of places you will find raw random culture that some people respect could be positive and negative experience just like any place in the world , the real Morocco is I’ts nature not just the touristic places , the culture of negotiation and human interaction is limited probably in some western world cauntry , so you may find people more agressive because you are not used it , but your title is purely built on views attraction as it could provocative to some people , when you visit new country even if the experience is not up to your personal standards try make the best of it , good luck
I haven't been in the West for a year. I've visited over 20 countries in Eastern Europe and Asia over the past year, and my experience in Morocco was an exception to the mostly good experiences that I have had everywhere else
Advice never come to Marrakech and do not advise anyone to visit it. The city is very mixed and full of swindlers and fraudsters and we are tired of the complaints of tourists. You are the ones who come to her stop
You’re right - it’s nothing like Pakistan or India. I couldn’t wait to get out. Every minute there was hell and it’s the one country I’ll surely never return to.
You're A LOT more likely to get pick pocketed in Europe than in Morocco. Of course you should exert caution, but not any more than you would in Europe. It looks like there's a glitch in the Matrix with the guys approaching you in the square. At least they're not being aggressive, which is a step up from before, hopefully they'll take the next step soon and stop bothering people altogether. I personally don't mind the hassle, I consider it part of the Jamaa El Fnaa experience, but then you have people from socially reserved places like Northern Europe who think they're being attacked and take it personally and then go on to leave the terrible reviews you might have read.
In many ways, I agree. It seems that the "worst" of society tends to find their way to Europe, with "less bad" people remaining in their home country. And hence, crime is more common in Europe than many of the countries I've visited. However, there's no denying that some countries are less "moral" than others, and poverty will tend to lead to desperation. However, to your point around the perception of the 'culture' of persistent soliciting and haggling, I (based on my experience of doing this in many countries around the world) found there to be a nasty edge in Morocco that I haven't otherwise encountered elsewhere. Just look at the guy's reaction at the place that I declined just before I settled on the restaurant that I eventually ate at. See my coming videos for more on that, and take care my friend
Europe is worst on its own especially now without anyone finding their way to it. You tend to forget this "worst" you are labeling, came to work and offered a lot to build it to where it is now, but again people with your mindset forget easily but do not worry, the same people who worked hard for Europe to get it to where it is today will leave and then we will see the state it gets into. By the way, talk about the European companies that keep going to Africa, and Asia to invest to get money from to survive..... Be reasonable when commenting and reason with facts. You should stay in Europe and not visit anywhere, that would be best.@@InvestedAdventure
@@KimwannaratLiew The vast majority of pick pockets in Europe are from Central and Eastern Europe, not Morocco. Europeans used to steal land, resources and people, now they are stealing phones and wallets, it's a sad turnaround.
There's a lot of place you can eat there with good price the place of jamee lfna is expensive because of the location you should ask someone from the hostel he well show you agood place welcom brother to marrakech you can eat with 15 £ all the day

There is a different between fez poeple and marakesch poeple..fez = arabs Marakesch = berbers (chlouch) The south of morocco are berber areas. Berbers are more friendly and calm more cultivated.
Interesting, thanks for contributing these insights. A fellow traveller was saying how the Berbers had been far more decent to him too, outside of Marrakesh and Fes
Lmao. The comments are mad. People would rather say the video is lies instead of seeing the faults and wanting the people to be better. Videos like this hurt the countries tourism and it SHOULD.
Well said! There’s clearly no shame amongst the people who behave in this way towards tourists. So perhaps putting the truth on the internet might spur them into action - or at least deter tourists from being subjected to such unfair treatment. There will be no change until/unless Moroccans accept that there is a problem.
@@InvestedAdventure you're not the first one to point out the issues there. A youtuber... I cant remember his name now, almost got attacked on the beach because he wouldn't pay the unfair price of the horse ride that he didn't want in the first place. Moroccans are terrible to tourists and it shouldn't be on tourists to learn how not to get scammed in these countries.
I would like to explore more of Africa, and I expect that Morocco is indeed an exception - at least it’s big cities - as I attempt to explain in my final video in the series
I visited Morocco and didn't like it, it is a dirty country, trash is everywhere, the beaches are full of garbage and broken beer bottles and I find it expensive for the quality of services it offers. Morocco is definitely not a country worth visiting.
You're acting as if your country is any better .... Visiting one shitty beach doen't reflect the others being wonderful. And this comment being pinned explains a lot about this vlogger 's attentions...

Dude you’re an absolute Karen.
And I’ve never commented on a RUclips video
@@InvestedAdventure stay in your couch if you don’t want to see uncommon things. Don’t forget your period pain pills next time.
The chance of being robbed in London is way higher, and the walking scammers if you spit on the floor the will be demanding a false fine . If you wearing fancy you’re doomed
And who are the ones robbing middle class English people in London? Where does the organised crime stem from? English ale, or things originating and dealt by gangs from overseas?
@InvestedAdventure Morocco is not Marrakesh!! Marrakesh is different from other MORROCAN cities. Also, Marrakesh has different faces, not only haslers and scammers. There are many other places in Marrakesh without hustlers or scams!
Wait til you see Fes… and Tanger. Basically everywhere I went.
Never again.
Ageeed 💯
The price was fair tbh cause you ordered a lot of different things, maybe not 22€ but the 15€ is. The rule is to negotiate with everyone, thats why they choosed a higher price at the beginning.
Anyway maybe marrakech is not you vibe, then you can try somwhere else, cause even for moroccans marrakech is an exeption, if you want my opignion Rabat and Tangier are my favorites.
Thanks for that tip my friend - interesting to note your thoughts on Marrakech as a local. I actually rather enjoyed it, certainly compared to Fes and Tangier
We wish you happy and safe journey in Morocco , now you should understand when you visit these specific type of places you will find raw random culture that some people respect could be positive and negative experience just like any place in the world , the real Morocco is I’ts nature not just the touristic places , the culture of negotiation and human interaction is limited probably in some western world cauntry , so you may find people more agressive because you are not used it , but your title is purely built on views attraction as it could provocative to some people , when you visit new country even if the experience is not up to your personal standards try make the best of it , good luck
I haven't been in the West for a year. I've visited over 20 countries in Eastern Europe and Asia over the past year, and my experience in Morocco was an exception to the mostly good experiences that I have had everywhere else
I miss my country from London 🇲🇦 ❤🇬🇧
Nice to meet you my friend
4:39 bro they're just trying to be friendly !
Sure. It’s what you don’t see when the camera is off that becomes the issue
Why do you talk to people when you clearly don't want to talk to them? Weird.
the Taxie set up is far better if you use the taxi guy who first spoke to you as never just get in a cab with no meter.
It was booked through the same system in the end, but thanks for the tip my friend
Advice never come to Marrakech and do not advise anyone to visit it. The city is very mixed and full of swindlers and fraudsters and we are tired of the complaints of tourists. You are the ones who come to her stop
Without tourism there would be nothing there. You’re afraid of those with the courage to speak the truth.
@@InvestedAdventure Bro marrakech history is bigger than your whole country, just stick in your place and don't come again !!
Amazinge tour 😍👌👍👍
Thanks Brahim
Welcome to Morocco 🇲🇦🇲🇦
Mahabar
This is not India or Pakistan it Morocco s’il vous pláit leave Morocco!
You’re right - it’s nothing like Pakistan or India. I couldn’t wait to get out. Every minute there was hell and it’s the one country I’ll surely never return to.
@@InvestedAdventurealgeria is much better trust me
You're A LOT more likely to get pick pocketed in Europe than in Morocco. Of course you should exert caution, but not any more than you would in Europe.
It looks like there's a glitch in the Matrix with the guys approaching you in the square. At least they're not being aggressive, which is a step up from before, hopefully they'll take the next step soon and stop bothering people altogether. I personally don't mind the hassle, I consider it part of the Jamaa El Fnaa experience, but then you have people from socially reserved places like Northern Europe who think they're being attacked and take it personally and then go on to leave the terrible reviews you might have read.
In many ways, I agree. It seems that the "worst" of society tends to find their way to Europe, with "less bad" people remaining in their home country. And hence, crime is more common in Europe than many of the countries I've visited. However, there's no denying that some countries are less "moral" than others, and poverty will tend to lead to desperation.
However, to your point around the perception of the 'culture' of persistent soliciting and haggling, I (based on my experience of doing this in many countries around the world) found there to be a nasty edge in Morocco that I haven't otherwise encountered elsewhere.
Just look at the guy's reaction at the place that I declined just before I settled on the restaurant that I eventually ate at.
See my coming videos for more on that, and take care my friend
Europe is worst on its own especially now without anyone finding their way to it. You tend to forget this "worst" you are labeling, came to work and offered a lot to build it to where it is now, but again people with your mindset forget easily but do not worry, the same people who worked hard for Europe to get it to where it is today will leave and then we will see the state it gets into. By the way, talk about the European companies that keep going to Africa, and Asia to invest to get money from to survive..... Be reasonable when commenting and reason with facts. You should stay in Europe and not visit anywhere, that would be best.@@InvestedAdventure
true you are liketely to get pick pocketed in Europe by Moroccans
Oh please, there are more criminals from your race than anywhere else in the world. Do not deceive yourself.@@KimwannaratLiew
@@KimwannaratLiew The vast majority of pick pockets in Europe are from Central and Eastern Europe, not Morocco. Europeans used to steal land, resources and people, now they are stealing phones and wallets, it's a sad turnaround.
Marocco 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦👍👍
You’re a fan, Jurgen? It was a unique experience, but it did deteriorate from there…
1:51 Math not mathing
What?
There's a lot of place you can eat there with good price the place of jamee lfna is expensive because of the location you should ask someone from the hostel he well show you agood place welcom brother to marrakech you can eat with 15 £ all the day
An evening in the square alone cost me £15! But thanks for the tip
Your Name is... HELLisWELL...!? 💥💥💥💥💥
If you want to see it that way, only in your mind
Im from morocco but living in canada, i have to say that people that running restaurants in jamaa lefna are pretty annoying 😒 😑 🙄
Very annoying indeed - you chose a great country to emigrate to!
In of the beet quality video about Marrakech , good job💪
Ah that’s very kind of you my friend, thank you!
dejamaa lfna c'est un mauvais endroit visité à Marrakech et aussi la médina beaucoup de salop et les méchants gens et trop brouillard , je suis une jeune femme marocaine j'habite à Marrakech mais heuresment loin de ces endroits et je n'aime pas visiter cette place et aussi la médina
Merci beaucoup pour ces idées. J'apprécie ton aide
Boss, come back to yogyakarta
I’d love to some time
You should took the shuffle bus, take straight to medina for 30 dirham return
I didn't see it at the airport - do you know how recently it has been running?
@@InvestedAdventure in the carpark bus stop, 30dirham it's return ticket valid for 2 week
@InvestedAdventure runs frequently, located in the carpark there is a bus stop, 30 Durham return valid for 2 weeks, you can use it once, only going and coming back to airport, drop you outside media the square, rather paying 150 taxi
@@InvestedAdventure you knew that there are scam in jamaa el fna but you didn't knew that the bus from airport take you to city center for 30 dirhams go and return since....always :)
@@InvestedAdventuredon’t you have Google? Search bus Marrakech airport. The first link you get has all info.
Morocco is not only Marrakech visit agadir,tanger , rabat , u will love it ❤.
Tanger is awful too. Video coming on that after Fes
Try Scamming in London 😂😂😂
Probably Moroccans doing it
@@InvestedAdventurenever seen a smug guy like yourself. You’re a nobody who won’t succeed in this space with your attitude
@@InvestedAdventure say goodbye to your stupid channel buddy
@@InvestedAdventure pure cockney...
H??
I, J, K?
There is a different between fez poeple and marakesch poeple..fez = arabs
Marakesch = berbers (chlouch)
The south of morocco are berber areas.
Berbers are more friendly and calm more cultivated.
Interesting, thanks for contributing these insights. A fellow traveller was saying how the Berbers had been far more decent to him too, outside of Marrakesh and Fes
Do You have more video's from Marrakech?
More coming from Morocco
NEVER NEVER NEVER
Trevor
Lmao. The comments are mad. People would rather say the video is lies instead of seeing the faults and wanting the people to be better.
Videos like this hurt the countries tourism and it SHOULD.
Well said! There’s clearly no shame amongst the people who behave in this way towards tourists. So perhaps putting the truth on the internet might spur them into action - or at least deter tourists from being subjected to such unfair treatment. There will be no change until/unless Moroccans accept that there is a problem.
@@InvestedAdventure you're not the first one to point out the issues there. A youtuber... I cant remember his name now, almost got attacked on the beach because he wouldn't pay the unfair price of the horse ride that he didn't want in the first place.
Moroccans are terrible to tourists and it shouldn't be on tourists to learn how not to get scammed in these countries.
welcome
And quite a welcome it was
da****n these guys are ruining Tourism in the country
It’s the truth
Ly ja marhba bih ly mxa tri9 slama
Do not believe any video someone posts to show a side, check other videos, posts etc, and research for yourself first.
I could newer go back there again ! can't stand local people
Unfortunately I share true same sentiment
Moroccans in the comments as usual being in denial….
So it seems
U prob Algerian lol
يا العاقسة دايعة في التعليق تسبي المغاربة سيري ديه لبلادك
Everyone I know who visits North Africa says Morocco is their least favorite
I would like to explore more of Africa, and I expect that Morocco is indeed an exception - at least it’s big cities - as I attempt to explain in my final video in the series
Everyone I know says Algeria is their least favorite hmm
I visited Morocco and didn't like it, it is a dirty country, trash is everywhere, the beaches are full of garbage and broken beer bottles and I find it expensive for the quality of services it offers. Morocco is definitely not a country worth visiting.
Luck you found any beer there. Mint tea, diahorrea, and hostility in 40 degree heat. Lovely
You're acting as if your country is any better .... Visiting one shitty beach doen't reflect the others being wonderful. And this comment being pinned explains a lot about this vlogger 's attentions...
You just went to the wrong city
Bro said trash everywhere are u dumb are you dumb??💀
Jemaa El Fna square is known for these kinds of sellers who stick to you and don't leave you alone, you have to accept the game and look carefully at the receipt at the end
This seems to be a fair assessment - you definitely need your wits about you!
Seriously you talk to much
I seriously don’t care for your opinion
I do it to annoy you specifically, Ahmad
@@InvestedAdventure chill out dude I’m just joking lol
You are too over reacting, please leave Morocco…
Not at all
Well I'll be visiting Marrakesh in Morocco in November
No amount of anti tourism protests are going to stop me from turning up!!
Guess what???
We get tourists here in the UK aswell... deal with it and get over it
