Refinery29, take it from someone that is Moroccan, born in Tangier and raised in London. Creating this image of Tangier as a dream, where "westerns" enjoy a sense of escapism to roam around freely, only allows you to detach yourself from the locals. It's a cute video and all, but I want to see the true beauty of Tangier from the eye of the people rather than a collective group of Caucasians that call it an escape from "home". I do not want to hear from a group that have taken, but from people that give back.

I've been to Algeria, Tunsia, Egypt, Jordan, and they were all beautiful places and the people were nice too, but Morocco it was truly exceptional I didn't go to tangier though, I went to Marakesh and Casablanca. Morocco and Moroccans and their way of life, and their food, and their Madina it was just emotionally beautiful, now after seeing this video I am setting a goal to visit Tangier this summer.

You Welcome Any time in my city TANGIER

My grandparents were spaniards and lived in Tangier for 35 years, my grandpa (the dad of my mom) was a teacher in the Instituto Español of Tanger. My mom arrived there with them from the Canary Islands when she was 5 years old (aprox. 1951). When I was child in the seventies every summer we traveled from Spain to Tangier to spend the summer at the home of my grandparents and be with them. Very very wonderful memories of those times.... going to the Country Club and playing in the forests there as childs usually do, going to Robinson beach..... wow.... amazing times. We lived in the Iberia Plaza in front of the Mosque (in front of the Instituto Español too). Once my grandparents and my mom were gone, I did not want to return there and visit Tangier because I fear to feel really sad remembering those wonderful times there with them. But my best wishes to this wonderful city and all its people.

There is beaches, mountains, desert, countryside, the cities, medinas, shopping, good food, history, and beautiful friendly people. If you get a chance to go take it! The day I had to leave I was sad. But I will definitely be back:)

my mother is actually from tangier, morocco, and we make an adamant approach to visit the city every summer. i no longer see tangier as i once did as a child. through out this year, the city has morphed into a vision of luxury, a way to escape and immerse yourself in your own imagination. i haven't been to tangier in two years now, and im planing a trip this summer and im extremely excited to visit the city with a new perspective and new agenda in place.

Beautiful! Tangier the high got its vibe from the location itself I believe. It has the mestery of Africa, the authenticity of the orient, inspired by modernity of Europ and aspiring to the new world on the West side on the land of the Amazigh, Free Man. I love Tangier!

I love morocco :) I was born in morocco (tangier) but raised in USA ( Im a US american also) and every other summer we go visit all our family in morocco , it is the best time ever everytime

I'm from Tangier and honestly speaking there is so much to see and discover in this city. It's like a time capsule full of life and artefacts. I visit Tangier yearly and it has clearly become a very popular touristic destination. I would for more people to actually visit Tangier and discover the magic and document it for everyone to see

I'm curious about the reactions to the video, can somebody clarify? The title says expats, but people are complaining about an absence of Moroccan interview subjects. Others are complaining about these people being exploitative and not contributing to Morocco, but what are they basing this on? Are they not buying Moroccan products, employing Moroccan craftsmen and encouraging people to visit Morocco? I'm not trolling, just really trying to understand.

I think people are annoyed because an entire video based on people from another country- who are somehow still defined by their presence in your country- and their clothing, which is also somehow defined by their presence in your country. Annoyed in the elitism they display, that they are able to obsess over clothing and 'atmosphere' and so on while it's the Moroccans bent over the sewing machines in the background. I put no stock in nationalism and patriotism and all that; it seems like bull to me that a country is somehow better because you yourself happened to be born there :) but that's neither here nor there.

Looking at the video, with the fabrics and glamorous accessories they hold the old world styles, dark colors, mixed with the deep culture of Tangiers makes me appreciate the country than ever and I've never set foot in there!

I finally was able to put into words the reasons I fell in love with Morocco. Nice video

The rooster , the dog , the simple .. yet so complicated buildings... I WILL VISIT THIS PLACE SOON

“Day with Kamal Chaoui” We spent a day with Kamal Chaoui this spring and were sorry that we were not able to arrange to spend the night at his B & B. Our walking exploration of Bhalil with Kamal helped us understand life in the village and included visits to a talented craftsman and several cave homes. But more than that, we heard about efforts to bring business and to help the town become clean and colorful (paint and trash removal). We learned about the button making business and efforts to help children . Our short exploration made this charming area come alive. I could even return and order locally made djellabas, schedule a cooking class, arrange walking tours and lectures with Kamal Chaoui. He is gregarious and passionate about bring the world to Bhalil. This visit was one of the highlights of a month long visit to Morocco.

beautiful series, thank you!

Ellena Edwards no of course , westerners are accepting and respecting other religions especially to our faces since they are like everyone else, they do not want to be labeled as haters, i did generalize because that is the case, many westerners as you described , those who accept and respect are now beginning to show disrespect and i totally understand it ! why? because islam is the hot topic today, islam is the religion that people want to blame today, islam is a fast growing religion which certain people who hold power see as dangerous for the ideas and principles it preaches... also i did not say the majority of westerners, i only spoke generally,because the word "the majority" determines something that i did not experience in person, but at the same time i cannot say there is a minority haters because today, whether we want to admit it or not, there are more westerners haters that before, but i can't say that there are more westerner haters than the respecting and accepting ones, i suppose i meant by "generally" something else from what it is understood to be linked to which is the concept of the majority.

AWUNDA Maybe, but I didn't get those vibes at all lol. I took the notion of "being who I want to be" as saying that they were finally free to wear what they want to wear and express themselves how they want to express themselves. In the United States, people often get a lot of crap and judgement for wanting to live a lifestyle of creative expression. Poets, writers, musicians, designers, and artists have always been looked down on because their dreams are written off as "impractical" or "a waste of time." Tangier, on the other hand, seems to have a soo much more accepting, less judgemental attitude toward people living their lives the way they want to. So that's how I primarily interpretted it. Maybe expressing their homosexuality had a part to do with it, but that just seems like more of an assumption than anything.
