Salam everyone!

I am visiting Morocco for the first time and I am completely blown away. I have traveled all over the world, but the warmth of the people here is on a totally different level.

Yesterday I got lost in the medina. A shopkeeper closed his stall just to walk me to my destination, refusing any money.

Later, a taxi driver shared his water and gave me a mini history lesson.

Back home, people keep to themselves. Here, I feel like a welcomed guest everywhere I go.

What is the best way for a foreigner to properly give back some of this amazing energy while I'm here?

Shukran!

Like no I AM NOT OKAY with strangers being okay with patting my back out of nowhere, or those people who talk to you while softly hitting you with their hand when they say,"listen" (and im already listening too), or that people at least with me, they lay their hands on my quickly to hit me, like moroccans really don't believe in personal space, i see the body as something kinda sacred, no matter where, and no one has the right to touch it unless the other person is okay

​I just came back home for the break after spending months away in Tangier for my studies/work, and the contrast is hitting me hard.

​In Tangier, everything is fast-paced, noisy, and you’re constantly stimulated by the energy of the city. But coming back to a much smaller hometown—especially when you don't really have a friend group here anymore—feels completely surreal. Everyone you used to know has either moved away, changed completely, or drifted apart.

​You walk down your old familiar streets, and it feels like you're a ghost visiting your past. The days feel twice as long here. My current routine is literally just staying in my room, brewing black coffee, listening to music, and playing single-player games just to keep my brain occupied and pass the hours.

​For those of you who return from a big city to a quiet hometown with zero social life active, how do you survive the boredom and the isolation? Do you actually enjoy the absolute silence, or are you just counting down the days until you can head back?

This happened yesterday , people there just wanted better conditions , but of course this is the usual dictatorship shithole response , this is not the first time or last , where they do something like this then sweep it under the rug , with a fabricated story told by 2M

Kaythamhmo ghir bach ytiriw f nass , ida jahom l'ordre , ghaytirriw f nass b kol hamass bhal ana hada howa lholm dialhom

And no , the ones reponsible for shooting that kid , won't be held accountable , as usual

His takes on capitalism and the lack of empathy are astonishing

What do you guys think about the possibility of living forever?

Morocco might be out of the football World Cup but they are kicking butt at the debating World Cup!

I met my bf on vacation there 1 year ago, and we sparked and became inseparable. We agreed to meet every 4 months (we travelled once and Ive come to him the rest). We talk and text daily. I know he loves me.

I just want to know if he seems not serious anymore, or subtly pressuring for marriage?

He introduced me to his mother by video after 1 month. But hasn't again since cuz he wants to be sure we'll marry before she gets attached to me (and he's never brought a girl home)? I just met his friends recently, cuz i insisted, as i wasnt being integrated into his life more.

Instead of him coming to live in my country, I first want to live in Morocco (to not entangle ourselves legally too soon, and so he can keep his job - to me it makes sense as lower pressure way to spend more time together).

He hasnt pressured about marriage in an obvious way, but he did seem to pull back when he sensed I'm not in a rush. He said i don't seem serious about it cuz I want to take my time.

What also bothers me is we agreed to meet every 4 months (max). We had our first trip. For our second reunion, he said its not possible cuz he had to spend $ and days off to go home for Eid (understandably important), and we'd meet in another 4 months (unless i didnt mind coming to his city and he'd probably work). I wondered if it became less important? (I did come for a short visit in the end, and it was great - he did take time off). But he complained today he spent too much money on that visit, even though i paid for almost everything. (He doesnt complain about spending on family or his motor cycle).

But we've been planning the next visit, and now he says he'll use his remaining holiday days to visit his family just before i come. So then we'd have to wait another 4 months. But he said if i come, he'd have to work every day (so what - i spend my holiday days twiddling my thumbs during the day just see him the evenings?)

Am I wrong to feel deprioritized or is this normal? I know family is super important, and i respect that. I'm not asking him to pick me over them, but he says he wants to marry me, so why am I feeling less cherished compared to the beginning?

Is he pulling away cuz I dont wanna get married too quickly? Am I missing something cultural?

Yeah I said and nothing comes even close to it , besides another old one called البعد الأخر ,Why don't they make cool stuff like this anymore? I mean from the concept to the story , the acting , this thing is top notch wlh I had never seen any Moroccan tv show give me the same experience is this , I rewatched probably for the 67th time and I never get bored of it

For people who are super intelligent in mathematics, katl9ahom 3ndhom autism. People with high capacity of imagination, 3ndhom paranoia. Or even people with great potential katl9ahom 3ndhom toxic wla inconvenient environment. Instead of calling this "3abatiya or ibtila2", i call it "Heavenly restriction".

Just a rant saraha, i like the name hhhhh

So, I posted earlier something about people who will vote for the PJD party, but after reflecting a bit on my ideas, it's pretty obvious to conclude this :

He appoints the Prime Minister from the party that wins the most seats.

He appoints key ministers such as Interior and Foreign Affairs

He has the authority to appoint and dismiss any minister

He is Commander in Chief of the military.

He chairs the Council of Ministers, where major strategic decisions are made.

He can dissolve parliament under some constitutional conditions.

He completely controls any Long-term projects or major country decisions.

Don't get me wrong, I love my country and lah ynsar sidna, but what are we voting for exactly?

I am visiting my sister where she lives, and we're sitting outside ( znqa considering it's a very small town kaykhrjo nnas bl3chiya ) and this woman ( one of her neighbors )called a kid pig.

" Chuf ya had l7lluf, ach kaddir? " The kid is a bit big but not obese. This woman specifically, I see her many times making terrible comments about kids in general that are not hers.

She herself has like 4 or 5 daughters and she always speaks highly of them, but they're not better than these kids in any shape or form.

Not the first person I see do this, but it saddens me every time I see it and I absolutely hate it.

Do you see this in spaces?

Pretty much the title, my friends and I are having a really rough time finding work. We re all educated and with some previous professional experience but none of us have heard back from recruiters despite many applications on a daily basis for months! Is the job market in morocco just bad right now?

My family went to Marrakech, and while there had a calligrapher write our names. Now that we’re home we mix up the images. Can any super awesome people help me get this right? The names are Mike, Mae, Elijah, bill, Meg, Hawkins.

Hi im gonna be in Rabat soon, and need a roof over my head. Idk where to search. I only see a few options on the websites so was wondering if there is an app or other place i can look it up. I want it close to the medina or the Hassan area.
I dont speak darija so maybe the language barrier is also a factor idk where to look 🥲
