Today I say goodbye to Morocco and nothing better than leaving you a post with a walk through its streets full of colors, cultures and traditions! Some already know that my stay in the African country was not very long but I lived all the experiences to the fullest, from taking a ride on dromedaries in the desert to riding a boat in the second largest waterfall in Africa, I remember that one of our guides He told us that the essence of Marrakech was that it maintained its cultural identity and that unlike Casa Blanca it is not so commercialized and full of foreign businesses, which is why this city is among the three most visited in the country!πŸŒ³πŸŒπŸš™

Hoy me despido de Marruecos y nada mejor que dejarles un post con un paseo en sus calles llenas de colores, culturas y tradiciones! algunos ya saben que mi estancia en el pais Africano no fue muy larga pero vivi todas las experiencias al maximo, desde dar un paseo en dromedarios en el desierto hasta andar en bote en la segunda cascada mas grande de Africa, recuerdo que uno de nuestros guias nos comentaba que la escencia de Marrakech era que mantenia su identidad cultural y que a diferencia de Casa Blanca no esta tan comercializada y llena de negocios extranjeros por lo que esta ciudad esta entre las tres mas visitadas del pais!πŸπŸ«πŸ‘³β€β™‚οΈ

How many days in Marrakech?πŸŒπŸŒ„/ Cuantos dias en Marrakech?πŸπŸ•Œ

We came from Portugal, so the trip was very quiet and fast, it took us an hour and a half to arrive, our experience in the country was pleasant, but honestly, it is not even close to being our favorite country, I never changed Portugal for Morocco !! the airport is: "Menara (RAK), quite small and beautiful, you just stepped on African soil and you feel a change in the weather, it's a little hotter than Portugal, of course taking into account that it was spring! after arriving at the airport we had to wait an Uber that would drop us at the hotel, I recommend that you pay for an Uber online and have everything organized, it can take more than 50 dollars from a taxi in short distances.πŸπŸ«πŸ‘³β€β™‚οΈ
Nosotros veniamos de Portugal por lo que el viaje muy muy tranquilo y rapido demoramos una hora y media en llegar, nuestra experiencia en el pais fue agradable pero honestamente no esta ni cerca de ser nuestro pais favorito, no cambiaba Portugal por Marruecos JAMAS!!, el aeropuerto es: "Menara (RAK), bastante pequeno y bonito, recien pisas suelo Africano y sientes un cambio en el clima es un poco mas caliente que Portugal, claro tomando en cuenta que era primavera! luego de llegar al aeropuerto teniamos que esperar un Uber que nos dejaria en el hotel, te recomiendo que pagues un Uber por internet y tengas todo organizado, puede quitarte en distancias cortas mas de 50 dolares un taxi.πŸš™πŸŒπŸŒ„
I think you can fully visit Marrakech in two or three days, depending on how fast you are! Honestly, there aren't many big things to visit, most are squares, mosques and museums! To live the experience to the fullest, I mentioned it in one of my previous posts, I recommend you stay in a Ryad that is a "local house", when we arrive we withdraw money from the ATM and buy a simcard for the phone, this is very important! You can't go there asking for directions or people will take advantage of you and take money from you and if you don't give them they will insult you! (so it is very strange).πŸš™πŸŒπŸ‘³β€β™‚οΈ
Creo que consigues visitar Marrakech completamente en dos o tres dias, dependiendo que tan rapido seas! sinceramente no hay muchas cosas grandes para visitar, la mayoria son plazas, mesquitas y museos! para vivir la experiencia al maximo lo comentaba en uno de mis post anteriores te recomiendo hospedarte en un Ryad que es una "casa local", llegando retiramos dinero del cajero automatico y compramos una simcard para el telefono esto es demasiado importante! no puedes ir preguntando por alli direcciones o las personas se aprovecharan de ti y te quitaran dinero y si no les das te van a insultar! (asi es muy extrano).πŸ«πŸπŸš™

How closed is your culture?πŸŒπŸŒ„/ Que tan cerrada es su cultura?πŸπŸ•Œ

If you didn't know, they are practicing Islam and we know from general culture that they are quite strict and closed but let me tell you that it is like any "religion", each one has a doctrine that is more extremist than another! Morocco was a French colony and that is why their second language is French and without a doubt being colonized made them a little more open to foreign culture, you can dress as you want in the streets no one is going to criticize you! You can also share rooms with your partner if you are not married! but my impression is that they don't like tourists, they simply tolerate them because they need their money to survive! there is too much poverty in the streets!🍍🐫
Si no lo sabias ellos son practicante del Islam y sabemos por cultura general que son bastante estrictos y cerrados pero dejame decirte que es como toda "religion", cada una tiene una doctrina que es mas extremista que otra! Marruecos fue colonia francesa y es por eso que su segunda lengua es el Frances y sin duda al estar colonizados hizo que sean un poco mas abierto a la cultura extrangera, puedes vestirte como quisieras en las calles nadie va a criticarte! tambien puedes compartir habitaciones con tu pareja si no estas casado! pero mi impresion es que no les gusta los turistas simplemente los toleran porque necesitan de su dinero para subsistir! hay demasiada pobreza en las calles!πŸŒπŸš™

Our last dinner in MarrakechπŸŒπŸŒ„/ Nuestra ultima cena en MarrakechπŸπŸ•Œ

Our flight left late at night, and we decided to have dinner one of the typical Moroccan meals, Tajine and Couscus, in my opinion one of the problems of Morocco and its short menu when you try its 4 typical dishes you end up getting bored in that sense My wife and I agreed that their gastronomy was a bit "poor", but the little they have is too delicious. My favorite dish was the couscous. I didn't like the tajine because they were very spicy and I always had to ask that they not be added, but Its taste is delicious!🌏🐫
Nuestro vuelo salia a ultimas horas de la noche, y decidimos cenar una de las comidas tipicas de Marruecos, Tajine y Cuscus, a mi parecer uno de los problemas de Marruecos y su corto menu cuando pruebas sus 4 platos tipicos acabas por aburrirte en ese sentido mi esposa y yo coincidimos que su gastronomia era un poco "pobre", pero lo poco que tienen es demasiado delicioso, mi plato favorito fueron los Cuscus, la tajine no me gusto porque tenian mucho picante y tenia siempre que pedir que no le colocasen pero su sabor es delicioso!πŸ‘³β€β™‚οΈπŸŒπŸš™

Day vs. Night?πŸŒπŸŒ„/ Dia vs Noche?πŸπŸ•Œ

There is a brutal difference between day and night in the streets of Marrakech, I see that their customs depend on what they do, many wake up late because they spend the afternoon and night working, those who make bread or have restaurants wake up early, but It's crazy how the streets are completely deserted in the morning, those who book package tours usually leave early 8-9 because they are two to three hour trips! In conclusion, at night you cannot walk between the alleys due to the large number of people passing by and worse be careful because there are motorcycles everywhere!πŸŒπŸ‘³β€β™‚οΈ
Hay una diferencia brutal entre el dia y la noche en las calles de Marrakech, veo que su constumbres es dependiendo a lo que se dedican muchos despiertan tarde porque pasan la tarde y noche trabajando, los que hacen pan o tienen restaurantes se despiertan temprano, pero es una locura como las calles estan completamente solas en la manana, los que reservan paquetes de viajes normalmente salen temprano 8-9 porque son viajes de dos a tres horas! en conclusion en la noche no puedes caminar entre los callejones por la gran cantidad de personas transitando y peor cuidado porque hay motos por todos lados!🐫🍍

Valuable adviceπŸŒπŸŒ„/ Consejo valiosoπŸπŸ•Œ

walk looking for the bestπŸ•ŒπŸš©
If you are someone with resources then it doesn't make sense to read my advice, but if you are like me and you like to save money on your vacation my first advice is to always look for the best prices, never buy on impulse, they have different prices than tourists and They will always try to take advantage of you, one day I wanted to buy a canned Coke and the young man wanted to take 5 euros from me, that is, 50 Dirhams, later I paid 5 cents 5 Dirhams for the same can... Crazy, right? and so many examples, another golden rule is hard negotiating they lower the price of everything!🌍🧠

Si eres alguien con recursos entonces no hace sentido leer mi consejo, pero si eres como yo y te gusta ahorrar dinero en tus vacaciones mi primer consejo es camina buscando siempre los mejores precios, nunca compres por impulso, ellos tienen precios diferentes a los turistas y siempre intentaran aprovecharse de ti, un dia queria comprar una cocacola de lata y el joven queria quitarme 5euros osea 50Dírham, mas adelante pague por la misma lata 5 centimos 5 Dírham... Locura no? y asi muchos ejemplos, otra regla de oro se duro negociando ellos bajan precio a todo!🧠

Be very patientπŸŒπŸŒ„/ Se muy pacienteπŸπŸ•Œ

You can't photograph the stores directly, that's why I took hidden photos, as I told you, they want to take money from you for everything and taking a photo of them is a unique opportunity to demand money from you xD, don't ask for directions, use Googlemaps, it's impossible to get lost, remember, you're in a third world country, don't get lost. Confess the danger is always around, do not show insecurity, be careful with your wallet if you are a woman always open a wallet there! Despite being safe, don't be too curious about the alleys, day or night, stay in the tourist area! It is normal for them to insult you in English or their language... Why? they hate tourists... If you don't buy them something they get mad!πŸŒπŸ‘³β€β™‚οΈ
No puedes fotografiar directamente las tiendas por eso tomaba fotos escondidos, como te decia ellos por todo quieren sacarte dinero y tirarles una foto es una oportunidad unica para exigirte dinero xD, no pidas direcciones usa googlemaps imposible perderte, recuerda estas en un pais tercermundista no te confies el peligro siempre esta a la vuelta, no demuestres inseguridad, cuidado con tu cartera si eres mujer siempre abra un roba cartera por alli! apesar de ser seguro no seas muy curioso con los callejones ni de dia ni de noche mantente en la zona turistica! es normal que ellos te insulten en ingles o la lengua de ellos... Por que? odian los turistas... Si no les compras algo se enojan!πŸš™
Street food is very cheap, but if you eat in restaurants you will pay the same as in any dish in Europe so do not believe that food is cheap! Unless you eat on the street, I didn't do it because I can't expose myself to things without good health due to health problems, but there is a lot of difference because the restaurants are all beautiful, they all have good service! and they understand you in English! although they all prefer to speak French!πŸ«πŸŒ„
La comida callejera es muy barata, pero si comes en restaurantes pagaras lo mismo que en cualquier plato de europa asi que no te creas eso de que la comida es barata!! al menos que comas en la calle, yo no lo hice porque no puedo por problemas de salud exponerme a cosas sin una buena salubridad, pero hay mucha diferencia porque los restaurantes todos son bonitos, todos tienen buena atencion! y te entienden en ingles! aunque todos ellos prefieren hablar frances!πŸ‘³β€β™‚οΈπŸŒ

All nice but not very oldπŸŒπŸŒ„/ Todo bonito aunque no muy antiguoπŸπŸ•Œ

We have that mistaken idea that Marrakech is a very old city full of thousands of years of history and of course it is more than a thousand years old, but almost everything was built when they were a French colony, many structures were renovated and rebuilt so you see everything very new! I think it can be considered a romantic city, despite the main streets always smelling of urine xD, but a night restaurant gives you a good experience with your partner!🐫🌏
Tenemos aquella idea errada que Marrakech es una ciudad muy antigua llena de miles de anos de historia y claro tiene mas de mil anos, pero casi todo fue construido cuando eran colonia francesa, muchas estructuras fueron reformadas y reconstruidas por lo que ves todo muy nuevo! creo que puede considerarse una ciudad romantica, apesar de las calles principales oler siempre a orine xD, pero un restaurante nocturno te da una buena experiencia con tu pareja!πŸ‘³β€β™‚οΈπŸš™

Was he able to come back?πŸŒπŸŒ„/ Era capaz de volver?πŸπŸ•Œ

It would certainly be a resounding NO! I would not go back to Morocco, it is one of those once in your life experiences, I always say ok you can come back if you want to go and stay in a hotel with a very close beach! but to do this again definitely not because you make a lot of sacrifices to enjoy! Their culture is very complicated and haha I was telling my wife this is the only place in the world where we pay to be insulted xD!! Maybe someone else had a better experience than me, but hey, that's my opinion! I give the country 3 stars out of five! I prefer Venezuela a thousand times!🌏🐫
Sin duda seria un NO contundente! no volveria a Marruecos, es una de esas experiencias de una vez en tu vida, siempre digo ok puedes volver si quieres ir a quedarte en un hotel con una playa muy proxima! pero hacer esto de nuevo definitivamente no porque haces muchos sacrificios para disfrutar! su cultura es muy complicada y haha le decia a mi esposa este es el unico sitio en el mundo donde pagamos para que nos insulten xD!! a lo mejor otra persona se llevo una mejor experiencia que yo pero bueno es mi opinion! le doy al pais 3 estrellas de cinco! prefiero mil veces venezuela!πŸ‘³β€β™‚οΈπŸš™
