Common misconceptions and clichés about life in Morocco by Priscilla

Hello everyone, Old clichés die hard, as the saying goes... and living in Morocco can generate lots of misconceptions in the eyes of the people. What are the most common misconceptions about the °µÍø½ûÇø lifestyle in Morocco? What are the ...

It sounds like your experience here Raelinn has not only been enlightening but as well a really great experience. I have as well been awakened by some of the family values exercised in Morocco. I would agree that often people from Western ... Read More

I couldn't agree with you more Hassan. Moreover, the comments that Nebraska has mistakenly stated as "Fact" are complete rubbish, and yes offensive. E.g., "Fact: Most people believe in Islam because it is a family tradition, ... Read More

Before moving to Morocco, I'd only heard Morocco spoken of a handful of times and that had to do with cuisine, decor, or weddings. I think the only misconception that I'd heard about Morocco is that they sit on the floor when eating. That ... Read More

Hello, Please can anyone help us !! My fiancé hve come already to morocco and we got all the paper work but the family court refused the criminal record that he got from the uk so he had to go back again to the uk and apply for it We were ...

I would say that that would depend on whom you give the report to at the time. I would imagine that there are those who would understand and the vast majority who wouldn't. If I were a betting man I would say you're 90% in the clear. That ... Read More

cost of living in marrakech by nask007

Hi all, Please can someone guide me on areas to live in Marrakesh? and what the monthly rents would be, also what are the average bills and general cost of living such as bills, shopping , apartment rent etc. I am a single male and do not speak ...

Fairkon

Generally when buying things from vendors where the prices aren't fixed you can haggle them down to about 50% of the asking price. It certainly helps to learn a handful of Moroccan words to prove that you didn't just get off the plane. ... Read More

Dowry? by robertflores81

I am going to marry a Moroccan girl next year and one of the problems is finding any information on what an acceptable dowry would be. I have asked my fiance what would be an acceptable dowry and she said that she does not know and when I asked if ...

Fairkon

That would be the same as asking what an acceptable wedding present would be in a western country. If you both come from lower class familys an acceptable present may be 2 dozen roses or a simple necklace. However, if you both come from well off ... Read More

1. By bus or train or ??? ? 2. Price vs comfort, so put any ideas please? 3. Would a flight be a better option? 4. Ferry prices and ports of departure in Spain? 5. Do all the ferries dock in the Spanish onclaves on the African side?

What the better option would be would depend on the kind of travel experience you'd like to have. If you go by land, you will of course see the countryside, maybe even have the opportunity to stop and see the little cities on the way. However ... Read More

Carrying pocket knife? by lr3guy

Moving to Morocco and wondering about knife laws. Google is failing me. I usually carry a folding locking pocket knife with me with about a 4" blade. Not really so much for self defense more for the fact that they always come in handy with my ...

Yes, it is illegal. Even at 2" it would be illegal. Read More

You might want to take note that French is not the native language. It's not even an official language here. Many people in Casablanca speak French because it's sometimes used in business. Other cities in Morocco not so much. Learn Darija ... Read More
