World Travels: Morocco (Bahador & Mike's Road Trip across Morocco)

We spent a week in Morocco and even though we saw a lot it is definitely not enough time to see the whole country. Regardless, we really enjoyed our time and I put together a short video to demonstrate some of what we experienced.

Rabat - The Capital city of Morocco, which was first settled in the 3rd century in the area now known as Chellah

Fes is the 2nd largest city in Morocco and the medina of old Fes is considered to be the largest urban car-free area in the world.

Moulay Idriss is a town close to Volubilis founded by Idriss I

Volubilis is a former Roman town, an archaeological site near Meknes along the N13 road. Since 1997 the ruins at the site has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Meknes was the former capital of Morocco under Moulay Ismail

I really love this, it's very inspiring .. I'm planning to go to Morocco some time next year. I wanted to ask you though how did you guys go to Volubilis and Moulay Idriss, is there a bus or train that goes there?

@ladylove901

There are a few different ways of getting there, I did alot of research and figured the best way for us was to rent a car. We rented a car in Fez for a couple of days and drove to Meknes, Volubilis, and Moulay Idriss one day (they're very close, especially by Canadian standards when it comes to distance), and the next day we drove to the Atlas mountains (Sefrou, Ifrane, Immouzer)

I like this video and I suggest that you come south next time. South to places like Tafraoute, Taroudant, Tata, Ouarzazate, Zagora...which are quite different from locations in the north of Morocco. The music is amazing and I would like to hear more from Luai Hanna. I live in Taroudant, and your video has encouraged me to visit Fez!

@TheDavidDaoud

Thnx

I'm glad .. you definitely should visit Fez when you get the chance!

Great video Bahador! I'm glad you had a good time and love it as much as I do!  So funny, being hassled when you're with your white friends, I got hassled with my African American friend, most notably the daughter, she was dressed appropriately, but obviously American. Nobody hassles me when I'm alone!

Yeah I know it's the same with me, I never get hassled to buy stuff at the markets if I am alone, even though I am not Moroccan they just assume I am. We just decided to pretend like I was a Moroccan tour guide, that way I can walk with any "white / western looking" friend of mine and nobody would hassle us to buy anything!

I love Morocco! I would love to go there!!

Nicely done! Great music, as well. Thanks. It's encouraged me to finally get to Morocco.

@TheDavidDaoud

A good place to get started is in buying a good guidebook, such as The Rough Guide-Morocco, which I use and recommend.

I have lived in Taroudant, Morocco since I became 65. I often see busloads of tourists going about town as a pack, and many of them are elderly. I advise you to not delay in coming to Morocco; don't wait until you are too old to really take it all in. Incidentally, it is really best to not join a tour group, and there is no danger in a female travelling on her own.

Wow... I really like this short movie !! I like also the music accompanying picturs & video!! great to Bahador ;-)
