You should do a style design challenge with your mom. I think that would be so lovely.
I would love to know the price of the items that you purchased, just to have a reference.
You mom is so cute. Thanks for sharing. I would need to bring about 5 extra suitcases with me for all that lovely shopping!
This video made me lowkey teary. It brought back so many memories. I'm Moroccan and grew up here in USA. It's so nice to see people enjoying my culture and makes me sad I cant be there at the same time!! Glad you had so much fun and shared my peoples with youtube
You and your mom got lots of cute things! Can’t wait to see how you style the shoes!
You should do a house tour at you're mams house. I m moroccan and enyoyed the video. Whats the name of the riad?
I’m half moroccan and half American , currently I’m living in Marrakesh with my mom I love how open you where to the culture and everything because I know a lot of people are not open when they come and I just really think you’re super cool and I haven’t found your Channel till now and I’m definitely subscribe to you and I think you great 👍🏼
This is my fav vlog of yours, Alexandra! So nice to see you enjoying your holiday am definitely going to Morocco one day inshallah 🥰
Welcome to my city ! You only stayed in the old medina which is understandable cuz you wanna live the culture but you put the jelly on the outer side of the beghrir (pancake) haha

@@symonroe8095 I do! I suggest you stay in a riad in the old medina to be closer to the souks and the Jamaa el fna square. You can try couscous on fridays, tanjia is a speciality of Marrakech and tagine is famous in Morocco. For sweets, you can find different types of cakes(?) being sold like Ghriba and Kaab el ghzal. Definitely, visit the square and go to a rooftop café at night. Visit the Majorelle garden and Yves Saint Laurent museum. Go to Gueliz, it's more modern, to shop in stores such as zara, stradivarius, etc. Experience the night life in a club or bar, I suggest l'épicurien for a fun night out. Visit the outskirts like Agafay and Terres d'Amanar for hand gliding and quads. I hope this was insightful lol. I'll try to write a blog post about it and send you the link maybe.
Yes the call for pray is so calming and magical and you feel it because your sool is pure
I love eveything !!! Marrakech, the streets, the people, the hotel, your mom ! and the beautiful things you bouhgt !!! :) :)
Loved the vlog Alexandra...in love with Morocco now the carpets and the pom pom on all the stuff😍And the call to prayer is done 5 times a day at dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and evening
This vlog brings back so many memories of when I lived in Morocco. I miss it dearly. Such beautiful culture, people, food and design. Thanks for showing us your adventure.
If you love Marrakesh, you will adore Jaipur. The whole Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer belt. It’s soo gorgeous! Tots recommended for your next trip!

Carol Inturias yes! There are forts and ramparts and palaces, one even in the middle of a lake. There are amazing textiles and heritage crafts (which is why I recommended here), music and dances. Check these places out!

The color scheme of my dreams! How beautiful.
Oh my gosh, you are so lucky to be able to travel there! A dream spot for sure! YES, LOVE Moroccan lanterns and want one! Do the kitties live at the place you stayed? So sweet; I hope they're well cared for. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Those textiles, those rugs, lovelovelove...
Gosh ladies!!! What a haul indeed ... Morocco is on my bucketlist. I'm dying to try their cuisine
Thank you for sharing this with me, it was such a treat! The haul at the end was a big highlight, l can't lie!! I was thinking most of the way through l wished l could see what you bought. I Loved everything you and your Mum bought and your spa treatment sounded fantastic!! What a fabulous place to visit! 🌿🌺♥
I loved everything about this! From those cats to the décor and architecture, the colours of the buildings and the sound of the call to prayer, all of it is just dreamy. Really have been thinking of going there for a while not only because a Moroccan Wedding Blanket is something that I have lusted after for the last four years! So thanks for a great vlog, also it seems like a lovely thing to do with your mum!
Yesss, I’ve been dreaming of journeying to Marrakesh! I yearn to lay my head down in a cozy Bedouin tent!
Never saw this older video, love it! More travel vlogs pls u look so relaxed even b4 scrub down 😅
I’ve never been to Morocco but now I really want to go! Not only are the markets gorgeous just look at but there were so many beautiful things that I could see in my place! ❤️

You missed out on that basket with the eyes on it 😍😍 I'd snatch that up in a second!

Great video. Love the merchandise you both got❣️
Greetings from Las Vegas! Your mom is so young and beautiful. Great travel companion. Cool video and haul. I would like more content on Morocco. My mom and my son visited 25 years ago.
How fun to travel to such an exotic place! Looks like it was a fun time.
Morocco is a dream city of mine. Definitely loved seeing everything you both got. Definitely give more content on Morocco please.
😍😍😍😩😩😩 This vlog taught me that my style can be 75% summarized by the sentence “if you can find it in a Moroccan market, it’s my favorite thing”. Now I’m dying to hop on a plane and stimulate the heck outta their local economy 🤯
I love the video of you and your mom and Marrakech!
I wish we could see a house tour of your mom’s house. You guys looked totally at home at Marrakech!!
Oh my! I have a purse like that but it is oval . It is from France and old. I used it for my clothes pins at the laundry line.
As usual, you are amazing...showing g everything! Been to Morocco, magical.....and yes, fascinating, cool and wishing to ho back. Indeed!

Another idea Alexandra, do MORE travel videos...you have a warm, and genuinely inviting way to showcase your views of the world!
Thank you so much for sharing!! Great haul!
Ok I have just turned bright green and died of envy!
Looks like so much fun!! I’m jealous, but living through this vlog!!
I visited Marrakesh a few years ago, totally fell in love with having mint tea in the afternoons, so I bought some mint tea from the souk to bring home. when I got home I unpacked and put it away and completely forgot about it. A month or so later I remembered I had it, when I opened up the bag all these little moths flew out 😮 safe to say I never drank the tea ☕️😕 I also bought way to may beautiful glass lanterns and throws such a great place to shop 😁
Your mom is beautiful! I love the Marrakech video
I loved your hauls, so beautiful!!!
Thanks to your video, Marrakesh is now on my travel list! ❤️❤️❤️
Girl, I’m going later this year with my mom and this made me so excited 💕
The fabrics and the shine. The rugs are to die for. I have no words for the tassels and the copper dishes and the straw round purse. It is joy.
Your video made me want to go back to Marrakesh. Everything is so beautiful.
I'm glad you had such a good experience in Marrakech. When I went there I was harassed and some of the shop owners were very rude. There are absolutely beautiful goods there, especially the rugs.
So jealous you went there- it’s where I’m hoping to go!
You lucky thing in the land of Pom poms 😍😍😍 ps I adore those arch shaped earrings whenever I see them, where are they from? Xx
I love the moroccan lanterns and all their metal work. I love their fabrics and candles, I must go
Love Moroccan style lanterns! I actually have a few already
Oh, lovely! And the vegetarian restaurant! Marakesh is the home of the largest indoor souk (market) in the world btw. And as for the Morrocan style lanterns, a big yes! (And I love your mum's accent.
I'm obsessed with everything!!
It reminds me my Moroccan trip, I bought a huge basket which I could bring as a carry on, and my suitcase didn’t make a connection in Paris with me, I waited it for 2 more days, but all my treasures were there, thanks God!
Wow just wow...awesome!
Looooove the Moroccan candle holders!!
The purse and pillow covers😍
Great video! Will be in Marrakech next month and was wondering how you made it to the souk "off the beaten path"?
Beautiful video.. I wanted to check how do you carry glass work without damaging it.. Whats your secret to transport fragile items?
I love this vlog and all your purchases miss pompom!
Loved watching this never have known about this side !
Hi, Alexandra! the stuff you bought are amazing. But what are the prices for those? It's very interesting.
I loved this travel vlog + haul!!! I’d love to go to Morocco!!
Love this vlog, Morocco is on my travel list!
I love love the copper and candle holder.
Hey Alexandra from NY! LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel! Look forward to every Friday. So I have this little metal caddy next to the tv. It holds my keys, remotes and mail. It’s one of the first things you see walking into my apartment. The caddy is unsightly but I can’t hang a shelf on walls. Any cuter options to hold these items?
Thanks for blog, really helpful as I am planning to go Marrakech soon. Where did you get the orange blossom perfume from ? Brand name please.
What a sweet mom!
Thanks for a wonderful trip!
