About the tanneries Fionn same thing happend to me and my cousin (Both of Moroccan descent and we speak the language) We were asked to pay money just to walk through and we actually felt very lucky because other than journalists they don't allow anyone there. We could watch them from the balcony where you stood but to walk through you really need some insider to allow you to do so and to take pictures. I know for a fact that the people who work there do not enjoy to be filmed or photographed and they want to preserve the authenticity of their oldest tannery in the world. Please don't take it personally 😉 It's very hard to enter that zone for everyone 😁

Pastilla is a traditional Moroccan ROYAL dish, it was made for kings or rich people only in the past but now everyone can make it and eat it, it has 2 kinds, one with chicken (sweet & savory ) & the other with seafood (savoury & kinda spicey a tad bit) I recommend Morocco food tours agency next time u visit Morocco, they'll fill u up with info abt everything, especially the food

Welcome to Morocco.

Thank you for this video. You're a nice and humble man who also respects the dead by not walking through the graveyard. And it's a shame that some donkeys who don't follow Moroccan law make your stay sometime unconfortable. In Morocco there're clear rules that no one should haras a tourist/visitor. But you did good by saying no. And ofcourse you can call the cops on him and he will have a hard time to explain what he did. If he is indeed the guard than he got a job and an income and trying to take advantage of you can have serieus consequences for him. I know vacation time no time for this but this types should be stopped. ....anyway enjoy the good and till next video 👍

Excuse me Pastilla is a moroccan pie it has nothing to do with North Africa Bon appétit and have a nice stay in Fès

Somebody please teach this poor guy to haggle!!! Number one rule of haggling in Morocco: Always reduce the price to half when taking taxi cab rides from or to the airport or port, in gifshops (or normal shops if the prices are not marked on some sort of menu, and with tour guides. Rule number two: Don't accept a service or take a product unless you confirm the price!!!! don't accept cab fairs in a crowded place to escape the crowd, you will find yourself charged double if not triple for example. You have to haggle in Morocco, it's a game that us locals like. And service providers / shop owners usually just spike up the prices a bit expecting people to haggle. So, always assume that you can get whatever you want cheaper than the price you were first offered. As for places to visit, any public space is accessible you just have to give a 20 to the right person (mosques are unfortunately out of the question) but if you want to visit one, I think the big one in Casablanca is accessible to non-muslims and it's basically a representation of the rest of the mosques in the country. I hope the rest of the trip is fun for you!!!
