 Good morning and welcome back to the channel someone reached out to me the other day and Suggested that I make a video to share what I bought from Morocco as some of you guys know I just got back from Morocco two days ago and yes This is my luggage and yes, I did not unpack yet. It's just not the type of person I am got home from the airport and died immediately. So it's still there I was not very sure about the idea at first I asked on Instagram and so many of you said yes And they got so excited because they wanted to see what I got from home Usually I think that I'm not a crazy shopper when I go home At least compared to a few people that I know but just going through the list in my mind I think that I bought a lot of things you guys let me know what you think. Okay, so let's start here I do have a lot of my clothes are still in there You also see that there is a wrap around the luggage because when I got to Marrakech I realized that the luggage ripped and so I was very concerned But I was able to wrap it and he's safe safe and he got here with no problems. I did not plan this out So I'm not sure how it's going to go but let's start with item number one this is a Menwear I got for Alex. So it's really warm It's handmade and you would see a lot of men wearing it in winter time Especially in the mountains. It does a very very good job of keeping you warm So people would usually wear just you know, they're regular wear and throw this one on top of it Alex tried it on yesterday I think he really liked it and he started calling it a potato sack, which I think it's really funny So this one is unisex It's not common for women to wear them at least based on what I saw but men do wear them a lot This is handmade at least that's what I was told But I think this is a nice outfit to to have In winter especially if you are in the mountains I did see a lot of hikers who would throw one on top of their hiking gear If they are hiking in the mountains and they want you to stay a little bit insulated So yeah, so that's item number one that I got from home and that was a gift for Alex So let's see what we have here. Oh Yeah, one's favorite drink That is a soda drink from Morocco called Hawaii We say Hawaii not Hawaii just after the island, but we say Hawaii. This is my personal favorite soda drink I'm not even a soda drinker, but when I see this one, I just can't stop my myself. It's a tropical drink It's really tasty. I was not able to find it here in Arizona But I know in bigger cities like Chicago, New York, San Francisco There are some Moroccan or Arabic stores who sell them But I got two of them and I want Alex to try some of it too. I don't think he had before So that's my favorite favorite drink and so I'm really excited to please have two for right now. So that's Hawaii Okay, we got a Chest set that is also a gift for for Alex that I got him This is a handmade chest set and I got him this as a Christmas gift because he collects Chest sets around the world. So far. I think he had one from Peru from Mexico, Romania That's all I remember. I know that he has a few more, but this is a Moroccan handmade one It's made of cedar. So the smell is really really strong and then these pieces are also handmade So, yeah, that's the that's a nice Chest set it's the size is really nice too and we can just have it outside in display. So that's the Da And I got everything from my hometown because I did not travel anywhere. I didn't go to Marrakech I didn't go to a sour. I usually do when I travel for a longer period of time But this visit was not even 10 days. So everything that I got was from my hometown All right, next one you guys are going to get a lot of this one. I don't know how to call it, but this tool right here This is so very handy dandy I do have a little grill outside in the backyard and I think this is going to help me just to maintain the fire and keep it up and Even if I don't use it With the grill, I probably can just have a nail on the wall and I can't hang it as a Decoration piece I bought this one for probably six dollars not even ten dollars. Yeah, probably six seven dollars Yeah, so I really like the size of it. They come in different sizes There are so very tiny ones and there are huge large decorative ones But I think this is a good size that I can either use with my little grill or I can hang in the wall There you go Okay, this is a tea set that I got from the airport in Marrakech. Let me open this This brand is called Chaba. I got it from Marrakech airport and to be honest I was more drawn to the box than the the set of tea or the flavors of the tea So I was told that inside they showed me that there are four Different teas with four different flavors. One of them is probably green tea. The other one is jasmine I don't remember what the other ones were but this is what it looks like so there are four of them With different colors and I honestly was like I said, I really like the box So I think even when I use the teas, I'm probably gonna keep the box and use it to store something So let's see what it has Okay, so this is more of the information about directions and where they are But I think let's see what flavors are these It doesn't really say oh they are named after cities. So this one has Marrakech Robots Casa Blanca and Fez. I think the green one when I smelled it. Oh, I have a mess now Yeah, this smells the closest to the Moroccan minty that we make at home But yeah, so I'm excited to try these new flavors But I'm more excited to keep the box. I think it's really cute with the colors and everything So that's that Okay, let's keep on going All right next. Okay, this is some canned fish with the vegetable oil I got probably four to five of them But not my favorite to be honest, but my mom was insisting and she probably Bought me 24 pieces, but I ended up grabbing at least four of them. So this can make for a good salad I probably would make some tomato with the lettuce and olives and then just throw these fillet of Fish on top of them and it can make for a nice salad for lunch or for dinner. So this is that There are a couple of things that I got and I was concerned that they might be asking me When I go through the customs for the baggage check, but they saw me and they said, okay, you're good to go They didn't even check the bag. I was like, yeah, that's awesome Okay, what else do we have here? Okay, so I got this little bag So what I'm gonna do with this one. It's also handmade. It's really cute What I'm going to do with this one I'm going to probably have a nail on the pantry and then I'm going to hang it and I will use it to store Garlic, that's what my mom does. So I will have a bunch of garlic in here I think it's a little bit too big for garlic, but but let's see So that's the one thing that I can think about right now. So really cute. It was it was very cheap I don't remember exactly probably three dollars two dollars. So that's the this bag and I also from the same person I Purchased a set of wooden spoons. These spoons are I remember my grandparents and even my mom and dad They use them to to drink to eat or drink drink eat wire so to have soup you just use them as spoons and They smell really good. So these are wooden spoons. They are also handmade. I got a set of four So probably I will keep some and I will give some to to friends and such every time I go I bring at least two or four of them. So that's that and then I got these cute little Honey thing. I don't know what it's called, but just to grab some honey. I got three of them I think that they're very fierce. I never had one before So this is really cute And I think this is done Okay, so close close close. All right, I Got And I got this Little thing in here if I have any hot dish that I want to put in the table Usually for tajins if I have a hot tajin, I don't want it. I don't want it I don't want to put it directly on the table I would use this one as a tray and I think it's really cute I used to have one before I don't know where it is probably just with moving and such. I lost it And then I got a set of four wallets. Oh They smell real real good. This is pure leather. It's also handmade Probably gonna keep one for me But these are just the little things that I get for for friends and family here in the US if I want to give them some gifts So I picked the pink one orange green and just beige or camel color So they really I wish I can share with you guys the smell the smell of this one and the smell of the cedar Chess sets. Oh slightly dream. These are real cute. They are Probably It says Morocco and it's got a camel in here two palm trees. So you have this little section for coins and then right here you can save all of your I don't know credit cards probably ID and there you go I'm gonna end up keeping the pink one. Let's see Well, let me know if you guys are enjoying this video If you are just give it a thumbs up and leave a comment in the description box and tell me if this is a lot for a short visit from Morocco Okay, next up Are these two pieces of cloth? I don't know how to call them in Morocco. We call them keys So keys is a piece of cloth that goes inside of your hand And then you would use it when you're taking a shower to scrub all of the dead skin So let me I'm gonna demonstrate a little bit. I got three of them. I got two of our red and A green one. So this would go We would do this at least in Morocco when we're taking a Shower we would do this ritual of scrubbing your dead skin off of your skin Once a week, I would say on an average so it would go inside of your hand. You're taking a shower Then you apply a special soap that I also brought with me We'll talk about it in a little bit and then you would scrub like this Of course It's going to be wet when you are scrubbing but you would scrub all of the dead skin and there will be a bit of Pieces of dead skin coming out of your body So I don't do this all of the time to be honest in Morocco. It used to be a thing. We just go To the bath house every week and do it and it feels real real good You feel so very relaxed your skin becomes so very smooth, but here just every now and then so I got a red one I got a green one. I think I have an extra one over there, but Let's move this one to the side And we're grooving so this one right here is the same concept the only difference is this piece has two Handles and I can use it to scrub my back. It's actually my first time trying this Usually back home if you go to the bath house someone else is going to scrub your back Obviously, it's not a thing here. So I have to do it on my own. So I would use this piece of cloth Really excited to try it. I have not before but I have heard great things about it Okay, so that's that moving on next to a summer dress also known as the Gandora That's how we call them back home So I got two of them I got one for myself and then one for a friend of mine This is a cute nice comfortable summer dress, especially when it's really hot if you go to America She will see that a lot of locals and even tourists they choose to wear them during summer They have or come in all sorts of colors. I chose White because I want to also wear it as a beach where if I go to the beach But they are very cheap not even a hundred dollars I would say between five dollars up until hundred dollars. No, no, what am I saying between five dollars up to ten dollars Not a hundred dollars. So it really depends on the quality. Some of them are fake. Some of them are tin This is a tin one just because I want to wear it for the summer. So that's that's the Gandora There are also some for for men as well, but Different designs. So this one is really common. It's the most popular Moroccan wear between you know young ladies, I would say so that's the one I got I got a pink one for my friend. I don't want to unwrap it, but let me show you So that's the pink one. I know that she likes pink So here you go. They come in all type of colors green Okay, so that's with the dresses. I'm really excited for this one. I already have a pink one Let's move you there. I don't know how much I have left. I'm hoping not a lot So that was the gifts from one of our relatives she got me a Box of cookies. I hope that's what they're called cookies. Okay, so they're like cookies, but they are real small tiny ones They are a There are something that we make in my hometown in Safi in our region I don't know if they are really common in other cities around Morocco But these are small little tiny circles Okay, so this is what it looks like We call it cake Little cat some of them are big when you go to Just you know any other city in Morocco, you would probably try cake and it's the A wider circle. This one is so very tiny and it's a specialty of my hometown Safi And it's really tasty. So usually we would serve it in a little bowl with some pistachio dates and all type of nuts and it's really nice So she got me this is one of our relatives. She got me two boxes But I couldn't bring both of them. So I only got one and oh my god, it smells really good The only problem with this one is it has to be kept Or stored Properly, otherwise it gets cold and it starts losing its crunchiness So I'm gonna have to move this somewhere else and make sure that it's not exposed to To the elements Okay, so you go in there. Okay. So what else now? That's a pajama set Actually, my mom got me this one. So that's a nice pajama set That I was wearing back home. I probably even shared the picture. That's one piece That's a second piece And that's the third one So very warm And it has a little cute hoodie So I think that our pajamas quality especially winter pajamas is really nice back home And I just wanted something to remind me of my mom in back home. So She gave me the set my mom gave me the set and what I mean Okay, so you stand there. It has to be clean because I was wearing it all the time So other than that, it's my clothes. My clothes. What is this? Oh That's my favorite part That is olive oil. So that's olive oil in a hawaii bottle. So this is a Real pure version olive oil Some of my family members including my uncle and my dad they would go and buy Olives pick them on their own and take them to place We call it Masara where they are squeezed and they are there watching all of the operations to make sure everything is clear and proper And this one is really really good. I wish I could have brought more It tastes the taste is very strong very pure It's 100 different than what I get here most of the time So I'm very excited to you know, just use it for cooking and I'll see how long it's going to last but usually a couple of months I use olive oil a lot for cooking either olive oil or coconut oil So I don't think this is going to last for a long time, but it's nice to have so that's olive oil My mom said oh, I have five liters for you and I was like, wait, what? I can't bring five liters So this bottle is how many probably One and a half. Yeah, one and a half liters so Yeah, five liters that would be too much Okay, the next one is raw honey. Oh, it's a mess I knew it. I was telling my mom that That was not sealed very well So I'm not going to open it right now because that's going to be not very fun But this is a bottle of raw honey Very good and high quality every time I go to morocco I don't really care about Anything as much as I care about olive oil and honey These are my top two favorite things to get from from home. I do purchase manuka honey all of the time, but this is Obviously cheaper and also the quality is really nice Okay, let's see what else whoo getting warm and thirsty Hmm this tea is cold right now I need to go warm up but okay More stuff This was also a gift from some of my relatives that I didn't even get to see what a shame. I mean 10 days You can't see everyone, but this is a head wrap that I really like so usually when We take a shower and you have a wet hair You would use this one as a head wrap just to keep all of your wet hair in This is handmade and the the person that I know she makes them At home. So I think she got me three of them. She made three of them for me I gave one to my mom and I brought this one with me a white one with some Silver lines and then this one is white with the blue and silver lines I really love them. These head wraps are perfect And for some reason if you just want to leave your hair to to air dry on its own, this is perfect It just absorbs all of the moisture. I don't know what the reason is behind it or what the science is behind it But they work perfectly fine Okay, next up you guys get to see the mess that I have here Oh, yeah, let's hope that I didn't break Okay, I wrapped it between my jacket so that it doesn't break. Yay, it's still there. So this is What we call in morocco a tangia if you go to marrakech, it's their specialty You definitely should try a tangia dish. So this is a pottery piece. That's the tangia We put some meat inside with some spices cover it and they usually cook it underground. So I don't know how I'm going to do it here. I'm gonna try to come up with something I know that my mom and dad back home, they have their own ways to make a tangia at home And I did already share a reel on my instagram But yeah, I'm very excited. I've never cooked in a tangia before and I never had or owned one So this is pretty exciting and I'm so happy that it didn't break because I was a little bit nervous about it Okay, so that's that. It's just my jacket What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments. Is this too much or is this common? Especially for those of you who go who are from morocco and they go to morocco regularly Do you think this is a reasonable amount of purchases or did I go crazy? Okay, my favorite part another favorite part. This is a row that I bought I think that's the towel pieces to three pieces There's the row and then there are two towels With some don't tell So very cute. So that's the little towel. That's the big towel. And then there is a row I had one here, but I feel like the towel was not as nice. This was definitely a better quality. So I bought One and I'm excited to try that's the row With this broad rear right here. I don't know if it's really handmade I don't really care. All I cared about is the quality of the towel So, yeah, that's the that's another purchase that I got for myself From back home Okay, so we have a few more things and I promise we're almost done I do want to show you this and get it out of the way because it's got some tea and I don't need a mess here I've got a new tea pot to add to my collection I think I probably have three or four with different sizes But I am a crazy tea drinker. So a little tiny one does not work for me. So I was telling my mom You know what? I just need a bigger size and she offered me this one. This is her Tea pots. I didn't have time to go and get one. So I got my mom's and it's really nice As I said, it's got some tea right now And yeah, it tastes good so far and I think this new design that they have in Morocco is also cute Okay, so with that out of the way, let's see how much we have left probably three or four items Yeah, let's talk about the Soapy soapy thing that I was talking about earlier So with the scrubby things that I mentioned, this is the soap that we usually apply on our body This is my first time bringing it to the US and I was really concerned I was concerned that when they are going to do bagging because what is this? What the heck is this? Um, let me open it for you, but they didn't they didn't check my bag. So that worked really nice I got one kilo of it in Morocco call it saboon. Saboon like soap Okay, that shouldn't happen here, but it's just Soapy cream that's inside this plastic bag. I got one kilo of it Which I think it's too much I need to do more scrubbing for this skin to look good So that's that and it's definitely something that you need to store very very well So I had it in a plastic bag in a box in a bag I think so far everything stayed nice except for the honey And I kind of knew it because the lid was not very well secured But I'm glad that I had a plastic bag outside Okay, what else in here? By the way, this luggage is going to trash. It's it's done It's served this purpose and I think it's time for it to go. Um, this is a nice traditional dress that my mom Gave me I love love love the color I don't really know. This is probably something to wear for occasions but I love this This uh, not tissue this material we call it jauhara jauhara jauhara. So this is my mom's One of my relatives gifted me one But I didn't have time to go to the tailor and get it ready and prepared within 10 days So instead I gave that one to my mom and then I she gave me this one It smells like my mom's And yeah, so that's that and the last one hopefully hopefully I think it's the last one. It's a juleba it's the traditional wear for men and women And can you believe it? I got this one custom made for me in less than 10 days And I think the person who did the job I just want to Give him a hug or something, but I didn't have a chance to even see him and say, thank you But he made for custom made this one handmade in less than 10 days And if you guys are over on my instagram, this is the one that I was wearing in one of the pictures that I took in my grandparents house Um, he's got a little hoodie and then this type of Uh, it's not brodery. What is this called called this? I don't know. How do we call it? um This style this style of it's not brodery. What is this called? However? This is called it's called the bush man. The style is called the bush man So yeah, so he took my my size and everything or the measures that he needed and then he made it in It takes 10 days. I still have to iron it. They didn't have time to iron it for me, but I really really love it I love the color. That's the only lube that I have right now. So I'm very happy that I have one All right. Oh, I'm sweating um I think all of this is probably just my clothes Yeah, just my clothes as you can see I didn't pack much Because I didn't stay for solo. Oh, there's one more thing. I think it's the last thing these are Some coasters for the bedside tables. I got two of them and they say morocco I needed them anyways, and I thought that a nice touch from morocco would be so very cute and sweet Yeah, so this is everything that I got from morocco I hope that you guys enjoyed this video and if you did Please give this video a thumbs up consider subscribing to the channel And if you happen to be going to morocco soon and you have any questions or doubts about travel restrictions And what to expect on your way to morocco and once you get to morocco I have two videos that i'm going to leave in the description box You can check them out and you will see my experience start to finish And also do let me know in the comments Do you guys think that I bought a lot of things from morocco?
