- Welcome back to my channel!
During Summer 18', my little brother and I embarked on a 2.5 week travel journey through Europe and North Africa (I have so much footage to share with you all!). In this video, we take you along with us on our 4 night stay in Marrakech, Morocco. I hope you enjoy!

Morocco is beautiful.
Salam Hey Bonjour je suis jawad de marok laj 34 coumn cv
wow! Morocco is the most beautiful country in Africa and if I do not exaggerate the most beautiful country in the world
It sure is little bro! We gotta go back again one day :)
I would love to go there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀😃😄😁😆😄😆😀😀😄😁😃😁😁😀😁😆
@itsurguy1 I am not misleading black people. I am just sharing my experience and racist things did happen to me on this trip. If you watched the entire video you would know that. Also, I don't want my beloved black people living in fear. We need to see the world! Thanks for watching, nothing but peace and love :)
As a dark skin Moroccan myself, my apologies for these idiots misbehaving like that.
People who call you the things they called you should take a closer look at the history of their own country before talking again.
I bet you that the brother and his sister don't know that they are descendants of the Moroccans . Our fathers were the first people who inhabited all of North Africa even North Of the Americas , even the United states ! I wonder if they know this ???
@@jeffreybillings1602 if you knew history my brother youd know morocco had many warring tribes and many civil wars and fratricide so you should be careful but I understand your speaking about the moors(a foreign label the "moors" werent united and had many different empires caliphates sultanates running concurrently).
@@gems8167 True but if you notice North and North Africa( Asia) were inhabited and it dominated by Moors, If you knew history you would know that the United States and the rest of the Americas are part of the Moorish Empire. That's if you knew the history! Nowadays North Africa is inhabited by Hybrids ( mixed with Europeans) The inhabitants of North Africa, were inhabited by Eastern people, Asiatics. The Moors and the Arabs are the same Race of people, we amalgamated with Europeans, this is why North Africa is light in complexion.
. That's if you knew the history!
@@gems8167 The same people.
@@jeffreybillings1602 right
1 - you re gorgeous!!!
2 - thank you for being honest and portraying my country in a positive image.
3 - you re one of us you re always welcome back home.
Thank you ☺️
I live in Marrakech , and I found it rather pleasant to revisit some places of this beautiful city through the eyes of two friendly foreigners !!
As a person with a Moroccan mom, i am mixed and most of my family members from my mom side are dark skinned snd it’s beautiful, they treat us amazingly and i am very sorry if you recieved any racism bcs that is not the morocco ik💕💕but all things aside you are litera GORGEOUS 🥺💞💞also go to mazagan in eljadida its the best!
Stop lying morroco is very racist. They are very racist toward black in Europe
Thank you for all these nice compliments on our country and thank you also for having "denounced" the inappropriate sentences because it can change mentalities. If one day you return, do not hesitate to visit the regions further south where black Moroccans live. Afro-Moroccan culture is very enriching and interesting. I wish you lots of good things
What cities do you recommend to find afro Moroccan people? Or what area do you recommend in Marrakech
so sorry you faced those dumb ass words in the market. I'm a black Moroccan and can assure you I literally never face comments like those. There's something about us Moroccans where we like to get instant reactions from foreigners. So to them they prob did not mean it in a vicious way but they obviously wanted your attention and I think it is so wrong they went about it that way (especially the N word one). So sorry about that once again and I hope it doesn't happen again
You can’t defend that racist ish
I am an amazigh moroccan... My grandfather had sub-saharien heritage so my father's family has a lot of black members.
Hi, what an amazing culture. Thanks for sharing! 😊
it's impossible you are a liars !!! because amazigh moroccaan peoples they dont marry whith black peoples impossible !!!!!
So no one wants to mention her beautiful voice ?!!!
Nohaila Nur Awww 🥰, thank you so much. I appreciate it ❤️!!
@@maremarechiqk the truth :) Ur welcome :)
So glad I found your page. Just watched 3 of your videos so far (This one, engaged video and taking off wig video). You’re free spirited like me, smart and I think you’re beautiful. Keep living life! You have yourself a new subscriber. 🤗
OMG thank you for joining the worldly fam! I am so happy to have you here and I do hope my content is informative, entertaining, and adds value to your life. Is Morocco on your list of places to visit? Have you been there before?
Mare Meets World You’re very welcome! With pleasure. I’ve never been but it’s most definitely on my bucket list. I can’t wait!
@@karenknowsbest7015 You're going to love it there!!
I love your earings beautiful love from morocco

Hi hun hope you are well and having a great day, thanks so much for sharing your experience with us really appreciate it. 4 days that's pretty cool. I love Morocco was there in March. But sure it can be a bit scary lol x love your videos keep up the good work, keep them coming. Take care and God bless you. Stay safe. 👍🙏❤️
Thanks for supporting my channel! Much love :). God bless!!
How much money would you recommend someone bring with them. I want to go but not sure if it'll be expensive
omg , I'm glad to finally get to a video where a Black girl had a fantastic experience in Morroco (minus the n-word) ; the previous two or three I watched didn't give a raving reviews
I loved my time in Morocco! I had my little bro with me the entire time, so that definitely helped ❤️. I hope you have a great time there if you choose to visit!
Hello, thank you for visiting my country Morocco we have good weather and very good food
There are black Moroccans 🤷🏽♂️
The original Moroccans are what you in the west call “Black”.
@@salaamhall3343Berber are the original people and they are some light and some are dark you are all can believe what you want to believe in but you can't till us about our history and try to get us fight each another we are not go for that Thank you!!!! Keep that bullshit in America we don't need it here👺
@@salaamhall3343 the original maroccans are berbers....and berbers can be black and white
@@jamilabouyess750 who said he was a American goofy 🙃 y’all not even black y’all african we are Hebrew
@@salaamhall3343 bro forget that those Moroccans whatever are not chosen no ways
Cats keep down the rodent population I would rather see a cat than a mouse or rat. You will find this in many Muslim countries I saw a mess of cats in Egypt and a lot of them looked the same. 😆!
Good to know! That actually makes a lot of sense :)
Same in Kuwait and Saudi. You almost never see stray dogs but cats are plentiful and only around at evening and night being mainly nocturnal
as an egyptian I can agree, there are cats EVERYWHERE lol
Seems like a really exciting place, I would really like to go one day, interesting video.
You should definitely book a flight and go visit! :)
Im glad you enjoyed it..i live in Marrakech too but im in NEW YORK..I enjoy the food the must..
Your welcome anytime and we thankful for you darling because you are very honest and direct and you say true
What a beautiful woman, and your voice is amazing.
I want to tell you two things:
1. Use AMAZIGH insteed berber, that gave the romain to us. We have now some kind of collective conscience of this old culture (year 2969).
2. Don't worry if someone call you chocolade of rasta, no racisme please, its a compliment as they use them in songs/lyrics. BUT N×××× is a bridge to far, they insult there roots first. You don't have to except it. Next time call the police and you will see wat will happend.
No racisme, no antisemitisme in morocco.
You are very welcome again in morocco.
From the Netherlands, with love.
Thanks for your comment and your advice! 😊
I love this city and the history it still preserves, loved the mystery like when you go through a bunch of narrow streets to get to your Riad get to the door with a wtf moment but then soon as you crack the door your like "ok it's lit" 🤣🤣 I've property further up the country in the North not for from Tanger.
Omg you are just glowing 😍❤️🙌🏼
Aww thank you ☺️
I never get bored of visiting morocco such a beautiful country 🥰
I went to Marrakech with a friend who is also a black American woman. We didn’t experience any racism or nasty treatment from the locals other than some sales people being over aggressive. Part of it could I am the same complexion as most of them and my friend is lighter than a lot of them. Those people seem to inherently know you are American. For us local people knew we weren’t Moroccan but did not know we were Americans until we told them. We wore long skirts, long sleeves and covered our hair part of the time. two women in a very male dominated city vs man and woman could play a part. They flirted with us. Asked us on dates. One vendor kissed my friend which she was upset about. men were mostly protective of us. In fact when we were sitting at a cafe a guy approached our table and acted like he wanted to take my friend’s sunglasses. The men sitting around us started yelling at him in Arabic and he left us alone. We took a taxi from the airport directly to the bed and breakfast we booked. We mostly we t around on our own but a guy who worked at our BandB also gave us a ride on his scooter and took us on a little tour. The only people I thought were kind of rude were the French tourists. They kept talking to us in French even we told them we don’t speak French. I think they assumed we were Moroccans. The other tourists we met were cool though.
U better avoid going to Marrakech next time. Go south or far north, it's much better.
Are you stupid? You give your testimony as a light skin woman when she is clearly dark skin...there is no similarity .
@@williamizm3745 can't she share her experience if she's white?
Welcome to Morocco 🇲🇦
Africa 😍😘
Thank you! :)
@@maremarechiqk Welcome to Morocco, where are you from, please?
Most of Moroccans are not good
@@lamrabatmohamad5010 I am from the United States
@@maremarechiqk Are you married? I want to get to know you
Love it! Beautifully done ❤🇲🇦
Thank you! 😊
Your video was really awesome. Glad you had a male along. Your attractiveness and passport too, is a great desire. It seems to be patriarchal there, hence not seeing females out living their best lives in leisure. Thanks for sharing. Btw in the NE US and on the west coast, Korean Bath Spas will scrub you smooth! SoJo Spa Club in Edgewater, NJ is really nice. Happy continued travels.
Chelle Shakir Thanks for the tip on the Korean bath houses! I need to check the ones out here in the states. I used to live in South Korea and loved going to the jimjilbang (bath house in Korean).
Omg...your vlog is giving me life...As I'll be in Morocco Marrakech in November 2019... excellent vlog.. do you remember the cost for the blue scarf
The blue scarf was the equivalent to $8 USD. Please don’t let them scam you out of your money. Make sure you are always negotiating the price for EVERYTHING!
@@maremarechiqk thanks for your response.. I got my Brooklyn bargain game up and ready with my Jamaican walk away 60% slash price...LMAO..
I can't wait for Marrakesh..
Thanks
Norm Alex Lmao you’re good! I’m not worried about your pockets in that case. I am so excited for your trip!
How did you plan your trip? Like what you wanted to see?
Excited to visit here in the summer. My boyfriend is Moroccan and we will be visiting!
Yay!! So happy for you! You’re going to love it 💕🙌🏾
Do they give you time to buy anything in your group besides food
Angela Stewart Hey Angela, they did which was great !!
Beautiful video by a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
welcome back anytime sweetheart
Thank you so much :)
Sis! What is the name of the riad you all stayed at in Marrakech, please? I'm going to be in Marrakech in a few months and want to have a good list of options. Thanx! Also as I watch more of the video after writing the first part of my post, I have to wonder if you were aware that some of your clothing is considered inappropriate for Morocco? Not that there's anything wrong with certain styles in other countries or a reason to be mistreated... As US citizens (an europeans), we tend to not research and/or attempt to respect other countries'/cultures' customs when traveling. All I can say is it's a good thing you were moving around the Marrakech with the Brothas. The food looks sooooo good!
Hey! It's a hostel called Equity Point. Good luck!
I am from Morocco. I hope you will send me a welcome to my home in Morocco with my family
Marrakech is awesome. As someone said in the comments, it’s likely at times based on your budget.
I stayed in a few of the more recognised Riads/resorts: La Mamounia, La Sultana, Fairmont Royal Palm etc, so I guess my experiences would definitely be different, plus I’m male.
Walked the street near midnight and sometimes interacted with random people, it was all good.
Loved the Medina experience.
I actually made a few friends which I’m still in communications with to date.
Was there just before the pandemic started, woulda been back already but for Covid 😏
This city and entire Morocco is overwhelming and the people are so kind and good hosts 🇲🇦👍💋♥️
Love your charisma and energy!
Thank you so much 🤩
How would you recommend dressing while in Morocco? More modest? Shorts? Etc?
Honestly it doesn’t matter you can wear anything you want but maybe if it’s too short u can see people (boys ) looking at you
OMGGG ONG YALL looked Moroccan w the scarf!
I love the hammams!
This my country thank you for making a video about this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
:)
What Riad did you stay at?
In stayed at a hostel called equity point. It was so cheap and amazingly beautiful!!
Thanks for your nice words and Morocco and Moroccans are happy to have you as a guest😍🇲🇦😍🇲🇦.
@14:00, yes "Hamam" like steam place and that lady is called "Tayaba" who uses a like glove"keess" to take off the dry skin. Yes, we all use that way to clean our skin even in our bathrooms. The skin becomes very soft and clean😍👍.
Salaam. Thanks for this beautiful great video about Morocco. Welcome to Morocco your country too. From a Moroccan brother living in France.
nice vlog thanks
love from morocco
Beautiful black queen. We love you. Many kisses from Morocco.
Wow cool when the title said safety racism it’s not racist it’s cool😀
It's amazing could you tell me the name of hotel please 🙂
Who else is from there?
I am 😊
Your earrings is literally a map of Africa 💕
Anna to the Bell yes, I love the motherland!
@@maremarechiqk am so glad you replied 😄😄,much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Dah bella My Nigerian sister! I am Nigerian too🇳🇬💕💕💕
@@maremarechiqk woow,,,,,do you live in Nigeria?
Dah bella I live in the United States 🇺🇸
Morocco is an incredible country!
I'm in Morocco now.
And black. I can't believe the level of racism
🤬😡💔🤬😡
c amore nice
I'm a black Moroccan and we dont face racism lol. It's not really common. It may happen but super rare. My guess is she you'd be more likely to face some dumb racial jokes if you are a foreign black person perhaps but if you are a black Moroccan you won't
@@mirandapillsbury7885 that's strange. I spoke to many black moroccans from Fez To Marrakesh who all spoke of their racist experiences and being made to feel like they were worth nothing.
I would never ever visit Morocco again.. if I done my research, it would have been South Morocco where all the blacks are supposedly located.
@@camore5422 morocco doesnt need people who spend 400 dollars at the most.. we have tourist that are big spenders and we have our own moroccans from outside morocco every year soo really nobody is missing you over here.
They have a nerve to treat Africans like that on their own land.
@Mare Meets World you have such an a Immensely Good personality and atitude you carry yourself well also did you know i am half North African Marocaine from Mother side and Half Middle Eastern from Father side which he is from Qatar.
This is wonderful ❤
Morocco is definitely on my bucket list. Have a wonderful Sister-in-Law from there and she can cook!!
Yesss! You definitely to go visit someday 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Guys...you were the only people in Riad Hotel?All looks very nice and relaxing.Got to try .)
MrDacruz37 No there were other travelers in the hostel. It just wasn’t super busy while we were staying there. We got so lucky!
I’m Moroccan so Ik most stuff but I wanted to watch because I miss traveling there
Zagora is black MOROCCO and also Ozazatte was there 2 years ago, I've been going to MOROCCO since 2006. Love from Jamaica
Algeria 🇩🇿 always stands with Morocco 🇲🇦 United and amicable
Hope I can help with the sub Saharan African migrants
I from somalia.. I accidentally went into this restaurant here in the U.S.A .. the minute I found out that the restaurant belongs to Moroccans .. I did not eat the food, I paid the money and wrote a note like this.. please put 🙏 something that shows about morocco 🇲🇦 so people like me won't come to a MOROCCAN SCAMMER RESTAURANT.. the waiters seen the note that I wrote and she started crying like a baby and she said " WE MOROCCANS ARE NOT SCAMMERS... I said to her I will lrt my SOMALI and all the people from the other african countries know about the ALGERIAN AND MOROCCAN SCAMMERS ..
Did you do your research on Morocco before traveling there?
Yes I did. I always research before I visit a place ☺️. It’s one of the main reasons why I endured my brother was with me
welcome any time swity 😘
I really appreciate it and cannot wait to visit again one day!
My moroccan family is subsaharian from mom and my dad has a subsaharian dad as well n an amazighi mom, let me tell you colorism is real even between my lighter skinned cousins … the hair is definitely the thing you get bullied for the most, my mom grew up there n she says that kids would tell her she had steel wool hair 🤦♀️ colorism is so normalised in Morocco it’s not even funny bc u have people that are very white passing as well as people that have darker n tanner skin n even some very deep skinned people, it’s a shame!! So sorry that happened to u in the market :(
Love the Kaep jersey!
Same here!
As a Moroccan middle aged man, I want to see more Black people from around the world visit Morocco. It is a beautiful country (like so many other places). There is some latent racism in our society that can only eradicated the more cultural exchanges happen! In my twenties (1986) , my mother wanted me to only look for and marry White Moroccan women from the North of Morocco not the darker skinned ones from the south! My mum wasn’t racist by regionalist (a milder form of racism, but she was not an educated lady!). Things have improved a lot now (finding any man with a stable job helped) , that some of my white and beautiful female cousins have married darker Moroccan men! I have never asked my aunt (my mother’ sister) how she coped with such a shock ! Slow progress is being made...My Sunny and Magical Morocco is waiting for everyone to visit...Welcome.
But Moroccans a big time scammer in other way thieves.. I would not recommend any one to go to morocco or Algeria..
Thank you for sharing this experience as an ethnic vacationer. My husband home is Morocco we are Muslim I am retiring soon and we are moving to his home.
Congratulations on your retirement! You are going to love your new home in Morocco 💖🙌🏾
Welcome anytime
next time go to al Hoceima very pretty right there and the history of Morocco Morocco was first from the berbers but the abric people take a piece of Morocco in the war
Thank you so much for the tip! I always love seeing the history of the countries I visited. I didn’t hear of that until now so I appreciate you! ❤️
What Riad did you stay in?
shameka jones I stayed at Equity Point Hostel
Please remember everyone the hatred of people of African descent is world wide. We have been under attack for a long time. Don't expect much difference anywhere you go even in Africa...
I don't expect must different, but I wont allow it to keep me from traveling. My goal is to let black people know where to travel that is safe, fun, and interesting! Thanks for watching :)
@@maremarechiqk You are welcome. Respected.
You're pretty! :o
Thank you! I also appreciate you for watching my video :)

Omg you're beautiful your hair,skin,style everything is beautiful
Sorry for my poor english
Hi! Thanks for all of those sweet compliments. You are too kind. No need to apologize, your English is perfectly fine :)
Bro how the buildings are shaped is so beautiful
Spicy Shizz What I loved most about those buildings was also how humble they looked in the outside a lot of the time. But as soon as you walk in, BAM 💥, it’s a majestic palace/riad. Morocco was awesome! Thanks for watching ☺️
Just amazing
Thank you!!!
I live in florida sarasota here am moroccan ,if you still ther with your familly or you stuck i ll send u guys to my familly in casablanca you dont have to pay nothing they will take care of you all ,we love u and you welcome sister , your brother Rachid moroccan in florida
So beautiful in character.
Farhan Aswan Thank you 😊
Negus was a group of Kings and Queens Back once time ago. No need to be offended . Also I LOVE YOUR VIDEO THANKS
Why are u not a model! Your so beutiful. Iam sad your not a model greeting from a maroccan brother ✌️✊🏿😍
That’s very sweet of you to say. I’m a bit short for a modeling career hahaha. I also actually prefer traveling as a hobby 🙌🏾
you are just beautiful
welcome to Morocco
chanks croco thank you so much ☺️
how was the food? was it safe?
SO AMAZING!!
As long as you respect the culture and dress appropriately depending on where you are, you'll have no problem. You can't go to the old souk dressed in tiny shorts and think it's fine.
Bath in US? For free...I hope?
I’ve known Moroccan women who don’t date blacks unless he’s wealthy rich and well to do a lot of Muslim countries look pass their cultural practices for blacks who have a lot of wealth, when you have wealth you’re treated different than you would if you were a unwealthy black person
Well she is a nasty morocan gold digger for sure
Watching the video and twice I seen a man almost knock you down. What’s your experience with the men disrespecting you?
Someone almost knocked me down? I don't even remember lol. Must be my little brother
@@maremarechiqk review your footage it happen twice and I never heard anyone say excuse me. Did you experience discrimination because you are a woman? Because a lot of black people have reported discrimination visiting the country.
@@changestartsnow5116 In this video I share how we were called "Nigga" and "Obama family". So yes, I experienced a level of prejudice and racism.
I would love to visit morocco
You are welcome to Morocco a country with a unique history and rooted civilisation .
Than stay there! Stop fucking up europe!
Why morrocco dont want to take back its own citizens that were expelled after criminal conduct and illigal trespassing?
@@MrLowrevia stfu fuck u and fuck europe bro
@@MrLowrevia
The irony when some tells you "welcome to our country" and you reply "then stay there" lol
Sums up western ideology, you wanna happily colonize African land, steal, inslave for hundreds of years then you want to go for holiday's there and when someone goes to your countries you scream "immigrants!"
@@zahradaw8520 if i go there i bring money in the country and leave. These migrants dont bring money in but want to use the social system. And they are not gratefull: crime, terror is what we get. And moroco was enslaving people in the past. They an turkey invaded europe before we went there!
Wonderful video you have made,thank you, I saw the comment of which they called you and your brother "Obama family ", and nice chocolate, and the N-word,wasn't it a bit offensive, just curious, I would like to know how you felt about that, I don't think it was really racist, just simply that you are a black woman. I would like to know.
I hope u not black saying this if u are u are ban from black community
