    NETFLIX CORRECTION: I stupidly stated the annual UK cost with the Moroccan monthly cost, so I am putting that right, here. Annual Moroccan Netflix is 1,080dhs or £86.65 compared with the £135 annual cost of Netflix in the UK - It is still a significant gap compared to the gap between the cost of Netflix in the two countries in 2020.

    The base salery in morocco is 3000 dhs : the cost of a gym membreship. You need to compare the pourcentage of each cost to the salery. For example iphone = 3 month salery in morocco ...

    If you are European and have reached retirement age, Morocco is a good choice for stability, and you will certainly benefit from the tax differences between the two countries, which is reflected in the cost of living.

    The cost of living in Morocco is very cheap for Foriegners from European states compared to native Morocans. A regular Moroccan still suffers and struggls with life necessities on a daily basis, as most of them recieve minimum wages range between( 220 dollars to 350 dollars a month). However, in morocco we still have solidarity, love, and a strong family bonds. We love this country of ours, its people, and its King. Long live Morocco.

    I am Belgian, I have lived in Morocco for a little over 10 years. Living in Morocco with €, £ or $ in your pocket and earning a living in these currencies gives the impression of financial ease. But when you work and earn your living in dirhams I can guarantee that life in Morocco is excessively expensive, much more expensive than the UK or Europe. And apart from the very pleasant climate, life in Morocco is far from easy. Impossible to make a real comparison, surviving in dirhams or living in pounds (euros or dollars)... it's not at all the same fight

    I know it is not easy if you are paid a Moroccan wage. Towards the end of the video, I do acknowledge that Moroccans have suffered from the cost of living crisis. Poor people in both countries have. I think there is a view in Morocco that the UK can't be all that bad as it is a "developed" nation, but people are suffering a lot in the UK.

    As a Moroccan I totally agree that the cost living in Morocco is incredibly low compared to that of the UK; but only if you get a European paycheck. So good luck surviving in Morocco if you earn a Moroccan wage, given the fact that way more than 50% of us earn less than 300£/month.

    As a Moroccan i can say that the prices given are pretty much accurate, only for gas bill most of Moroccan we only use gas bottle for cooking , i think in the UK gas bill included cooking and heating., but again morocco isn't known for very cold weather, so you will be fine with AC and heating equipment that use electricity. another change that i think you should notice in the future is you will find more Moroccan could communicate in English.

    I live in Fes city, really cold in winter, ultra hot in summer, I have 3 air conditioners (huge one = 36k BTU, the second two = 11k BTU), in summer they work nearly full day, and I pay less than 2000/2500 Dh/m for that... if the same situation in the UK, all your average salary won't be enough for that... also, I use one of the most modern and sophisticated central heating in the market at home (energy hungry) that works 24/24 in the winter time, including floor-walls heating/water heating/etc, it takes between 6 to 8 gas cylinders, so less than 30£/m, you can't even imagine doing that in the UK with an average or higher income!! So Gari is right, if you take the small things in daily living, Morocco is by far a better place to live if you have a good income!!

    Great video. To be honest I was waiting for more comparisons like private school (which is a must nowadays for Moroccans) and also in terms of individual income and minimum wage. As a Moroccan, I've noticed that in Europe you get 3 times more than the salary you may get in Morocco with the same work/experience. With that, I guess having 3 times the income of a Moroccan can cover the high expenses in the UK, but it's hard to survive with the Moroccan salary in Morocco with those prices.

    Well what makes life is a bit expensive in Morocco is when you want to consume foreign market like cars electronics and so on, so for example buying a phone, tv, motorcycle, its many times average salary here, and also the public school it sucks so you have to give your half salary for your 2 kids for private school, And also used cars are hell expensive. I think the good combination is to work in uk and save money and back to morocco buy a house and start a business

    it's not about the monthly cost it's about the culture , here in morocco we live as a one community and it doesn't matter where do you live , rich or poor, or even the ideas what it actually matter is that you are one of us , we help each others , consultation , Condolences and we share the happiness . this is what we call coexistence. ❤🤗 says a 16 yo morrocan my opinion .

    I have lived in Rabat for almost ten years. I can say from personal experience that I change my gas bottle every three months. I can almost time it to the day - certainly the week. That is my personal experience that is almost a decade long. Obviously, if you are a family, the bottle is not going to last as long, but as a single person, with a decade of personal experience, I can say my claim is true.

    the stated prices for things like food and travel can vary widely depending on the location, coffee for example in my city is still at 7 dh for almost every cafe you will stumble upon, food is mostly uniform in price except in a major city like rabat where it is expected to cost a dirham extra per kg, same for gas, and bus (which is 3.5 dirhams in fes) price can go up or down by a dirham depending on the location. and finally on wifi a fiber 20mbit/s is 250 dirhams and up, most of the population has the 20mbit package. all in all you could as someone comming from europe, easily go even cheaper than what is stated in the video. great video.

    It's true that you can go cheaper. I made the decision to go with the high end of prices in Morocco and the low end of prices in the UK, so people know that is about the closest the financial gap between the two countries. I could have chosen a small village in Morocco and London in the UK, but I don't think that would have been as helpful.

    I would say Morocco is a very good option if someone in Europe wants to live here, it offers good climate, delicious food, beautiful nature, and most importantly, it is very cheap. Although it's a bit "tough" to get things here (the gaz bottles for example), it still remains a good destination where you can find most of what you need for a very cheap price.

    First thanks and million thanks for this precious comparison between the two countries, this is equally important for folks from Great Britain who are planning to visit our country Morocco, so they can plan their financial situation ahead of time. However, just a little remark regarding the cost of living here in Morocco as opposed to England, and that is the difference in purchasing power here in Morocco, which is depending primarily on wages, and salaries, and also the pricing, which is also determined by the size of the economy here in Mirocco Vs the size of its pair in Egland....! Nevertheless, it is very important and very educational comparison... Thank you

    Thank you for this great documentary. To cover the 4 corners, a comparison of the Yearly net income is a must; only living cost is half the truth; what you earn dictate what you can spend: try at least a comparison in the following professions: Teacher highschool; College; university. Public health doctors; nurses, police at all levels; Ouvrier; waiter; taxi driver; public transport drivers….. I think!

    It is true that the cost of things vary from city to city and town to town in the UK and Morocco. In the end, I have to pick a price that I feel reflects the general cost of something. I know you can get Mars Bars for less than 9dhs, but if I give a higher than normal price in Morocco and a lower than average price from the UK, it makes the difference more obvious, I think.
