RE: Travels Through Morocco - Chefchaouen the Blue Pearl, Chapter One

I've travelled a lot to many countries, but I'd have to say the worst trip I've had was in Morocco. I found the people there very rude and disrespectful. They spat at us, touched my girlfriend, tried to rob us, made a throat-slitting gesture at us and more. This wasn't just 1 incident, it was a constant hassle the whole trip throughout many cities in Morocoo. I'd never go back.

Sort:  

I've also heard the same from friends who have travelled there, particularly females. I've travelled around too and I have to admit Morocco was difficult, it really was. I didn't experience what you had to that extent, but many locals tried were forceful in asking for money for a service you didn't want (such as "showing you around as you were lost"). It was appalling and sad to see. This is why, perhaps, I preferred Chechaouen because the locals there seemed very laidback compared to other cities.

Thanks for the honest comments. Sometimes photos don't paint the whole picture. Anyway, I hope things improve there eventually.
