Morocco Hit Me Hard—I'm Already Planning My Next Trip!
Before going, I heard all the horror stories: "One of the world’s top 3 scam countries!" "Overpriced and full of traps!" I almost canceled my flight... but thank goodness I didn’t! By keeping expectations rock-bottom, I ended up loving it! 📱 Essential Tips SIM Card: Free at Casablanca Airport (I chose Maroc Telecom). 35 RMB for 7GB—even worked in the Sahara Desert! Language: Locals speak Arabic/French/Spanish, but tourism workers know English. I survived on Google Translate + wild hand gestures ✋😂. Transport: Trains & buses between cities (book on ONCF.ma). Food Must-Tries: Tagine, Couscous, Grilled Skewers, Snail Soup, Mint Tea Apps You Need: Booking/Agoda (hotels), InDrive (cheaper than taxis!), Google Maps, XE Currency 📍 My 14-Day Route Casablanca: Hassan II Mosque, Medina Essaouira: Beach & fishing port Marrakech: Jemaa el-Fnaa, YSL Museum Ouarzazate: Ait Ben Haddou (UNESCO film set!) Merzouga: Sahara camel trek + desert camp Fes: Ancient tanneries, world’s oldest university Chefchaouen: The iconic blue streets Tangier: Hercules Cave, Strait of Gibraltar Rabat: Royal Palace, seaside fortress ⚠️ Survival Guide ‼️ Ignore "helpful" strangers—they’ll demand money after "guiding" you. ‼️ Watch for motorbike thieves snatching phones/bags. ‼️ Bargain ruthlessly (start at 30% of quoted prices). #MoroccoTravel #SaharaAdventures #TravelSmart
