it and it's nor more I'm not okay what's up everybody welcome back to another beautiful day here in Marakesh now today it's actually extremely hot I'm hiding right in front of the uh kba mosque it is super beautiful actually the light's qu kind of bad right now as I'm turning the camera that way because the sun's coming from that direction but if the sun wasn't there you'd really be able to admire this incredible mosque however today guys we're actually about to cross the streets and head over to one of the most famous squares in all of mares and undoubtedly probably one of the most famous locations in all of Morocco now I'm going to be completely honest with you I'm not the biggest fan of this Square it's called Gemma Elna and to be honest I'm not the biggest fan because well the last time we had quite a bit of bad experiences happened to us inside of the square we were approached by so many different scammers touts and man it made for a rough experience it was very hard to enjoy however um it's very important it's an important Landmark So today we're going to go and explore the square and see if things have gotten better and more importantly just show you the Vibes now of course I am with gladus right now hello guys how are you how are you feeling today I am very happy to be back in Morocco I Know I Can Tell She's been smiling since she got here and she's craving a Tajin which hopefully we're going to find inside of there as well well let's head over to GMA and let's start exploring we've been wanting to come here since earlier today but man the weather's extremely hot it's brutal today I think you have to come either very early in the morning uh around sunset time which right now it's 6 7 7 700 p.m. yeah around 7 p.m. last night it actually didn't set until around 8:00 so um yeah quite late but you got to come out in the evenings and a lot of the local Moroccan people as well you will not see them out and about during the day like people come out in the evenings but right now we're about to cross the streets the Medina is right in front of us JMA is right in front of us as you can tell the city of Marakesh is incredibly clean and also incredibly green I'm I actually mentioned that yesterday I'm really surprised how green the city is for how hot it is most of the of most of the year and right now to be completely honest with you guys right now it's not even that hot everybody was telling me that next month it should be around 35 40° and that in August it can reach up to 45 now I actually visited my first two times in Morocco in the middle of the summer and I told myself I'd never do that again um but you can never say never with Morocco because every time we find an opportunity to come here we try and come for at least a few days so who knows maybe you will see me here in the summer one day but yeah there's a lot of movement out on the streets right now it is actually a Saturday it's very active look these here are top tucks it's the version of a Tuk Tuk gladus loves those yes they are so cute and very convenient to explore not only the city but the Medina but the Medina as well all right let's cross wow look at all these flags man this stand was actually here last year as well this must be their their um iconic location you don't remember remember that one no but it's beautiful it is beautiful look at this I see exactly why it gets all the attention wow extremely vibrant oh yeah the hustle is about to start in here so anytime you're entering um the a Medina here in Morocco the hustle is always about to start but yeah this here is a location where you're obviously going to be spending time if you're coming here as a tourist I mean it's the oldest part of the city it's where you find a lot of like the culture cult Al I guess the cultural stuff but nonetheless it's a place you will be spending time when you're in mesh but I recommend you don't spend your whole time here like last time we spent our entire time inside of this Medina area and it's super beautiful but let me just tell you guys it gets kind of frustrating after a while I mean um in these very touristic locations it's just like being in Paris it's just like being in Rome there's constantly people trying to sell you things and it can be fun the first day or two in Morocco but then after a while you kind of just want to relax and chill but yeah let's dive on in and start exploring JMA now they have a big stage set up right now somebody was telling us oh it was a taxi driver yesterday was telling us that they actually have a free concert going on right now um I'm not sure why but for the next 3 days there's a free concert going on every single evening glattus and I will probably try and catch that later on tonight depending on how much energy we have by the time we're done with these videos because usually when you're out filming and running around and this heat you get you get exhausted quite fast videos takes so much energy they do they do even though but they also I have to say but they also give you energy as well yeah I will say even on the days when I'm not feeling motivated when I pick up the camera I'm like all right let's do it time to have some fun yeah look these here are the tuck tucks they take you around the Medina around the main Square all the places where cars and normal taxis can't reach they can take you okay I'm already hearing some music yeah here in this main Square you find a lot of um musicians people playing typical like traditional Berber music it's a huge huge St it is huge h Music Festival Baja Music Festival wow oh that's where the music's coming from huh yeah oh glce is ready to [Music] dance I need a dress for belly dancer she wants a belly dancing dress man I'll tell you what anytime you're Morocco it's good vibes it is always good vibes out here especially once you start hearing music huh that kind of music music reminds me of the music we heard when we were in the Sahara a few years ago yeah yeah that music is very beautiful look and I love that everybody is jumping to a taxi they're playing Arabic music yeah yeah yeah I have a here every time I jump into a taxi I see the screen and I and I look I copy you copy all the songs Look the songs she's about to walk out of here with a full play but yeah guys this here is uh GMA Elna beautiful right I mean extremely active this is where you find yeah basically all the sells sellers the people like these guys dressed up in these funky outfits traditional uh Berber outfits and they take pictures with you I think they're traditional Berber outfits but unfortunately this is also where a lot of people get their bad Impressions about Morocco from and you'll see why here in the next uh few minutes is that a snake bro yes brother no I'm okay thank you thank you no they safe there's no bites really no bites no poison you just kissed the snake bro yes for Sahara good luck Nock I'm okay thank you thank you phot no no photo no photo no problem I'm okay thank I'm scared of snakes bro I'm scared oh no no no no thank you thank you oh no [Music] than I'm okay thank you no I'm not giving you 400 BR you're crazy good lucky bro I'm not giving you 400 I told you no bro I told you this is for good luck don't yell at me this is for good luck bro take the snake off of me please for me you no no I take thank you see these are the kind of people that I'm so these are the kind of people you bro please no I told you Noe leave me alone so those are the kind of people that I'm telling you oh man the music is loud we got to keep going those are the things that you got to be careful about over here but see they said 400 and oh man I don't know how we're going to be able to make the video it sounds good though but last year I'll tell you what last year when I was here we saw so many people get taken advantage by those people right yes we call at With Cobras with the monkeys with all kinds of things but you know you got to stand firm and stand on your ground and oh man I don't like snakes like that oh feel crazy but you know what you know what since we're here why not let me show you all the people that you should avoid when you're in Morocco why not and these are some of those people the ones with the monkeys like I don't condone that at all look at that wow they're everywhere look that one's [Music] pissed yeah that is wild huh look at the monkeys so yeah these ones here though guys personally I don't condone any of that and um when I was here last time how many people did we see them like throw monkeys on and then they would like charge them €40 for a picture a lot of money this is this is very intense it is look at this let's see how much these people have to uh pay for a photo yeah I'm actually going to ask gladus for some uh smaller change right now now because um I'm going to ask glce for some smaller money right now because that way um I can just tip somebody this 10 dinar or Durham and then you guys can see exactly how they come up to you and ask you for more and then all of a sudden the tips don't um well they're not just tips anymore they end up becoming a something that you got to pay a lot more of but yeah look these here are like the snake Charmers then you got some s sales people out here selling shirts or whatnot actually you know out of all of the people that uh we found very interesting here or to be super kind last time we were here um were all the people from senagal those the sellers man they're so kind very respectful and those are the ones when you say no they simply just um you know walk away from you and don't try and sell you any more items all right well you know what I actually want to show them the the monkey but where where they where' they go They're that [Music] way oh man look at this one no it's okay no photo thank you thank you thank you here I give you I give you tip no photo ow bro no no no no video thank you here take here you go bro thank you ah but crazy huh all right guys well um those those are I'm okay thank you bro those are the things that you should avoid when you're here in the main square but there are things that happen um here and I just wanted to share that little bit of experience with you guys but look I just had a monkey jump on my head how crazy was that H my God that's crazy because the other one I saw he was like yeah I know he had his you know it's May dangerous if they you I don't know I'm sure it is I'm sure you can get something from that but either way guys that is you know a side of Jama Elna that I wanted to share with you guys because those animals um well they've been here since my very first visit to Morocco oh wow look the famous Tunas here in Morocco I haven't had one of these in a while hello sir how much six deham three deham okay it's from the Sahara okay let me do let me do two piece the name is tuna tuna [Music] fruit M wow [Music] that is very nice here try this one [Music] glattus they're good huh mhm we've missed them since our last trip you eat the seed huh wow that's nice [Music] nice okay [Music] thank you sir thank you very much thank you thank you that is something you need to try yeah the seeds kind of hurt my teeth though but man that is delicious you know what I think we get one more right I don't know there were three D each I give him 10 let's get one more hello sir one more one more yeah please it was three right three three no three each one right oh man I threw away the stick though let me get one more of this one thank you all right thank you huh no I gave you 10 no 10 you told me two piece three he told me three right I think so twoam each three giram each five Jam okay all right well you have changed for 100 wow how much is it he didn't mention the five it was there you go thank you well hopefully he was being honest with me but like I said glattus and I genuinely we we had a bad experience here in this Square so uh last year we had dinner in one of these locations you remember and they kept bringing us bread olives and we thought they were being extremely nice they kept telling us like oh man that's on the house that's on the house and he was bringing all kinds of sides and at the end he said no no no no no I said this was free like something he changed up his words and we ended up spending like 50 on our meal and it was supposed to be like a $15 meal yeah like it's crazy guys and then there's also like the Hanah ladies you got to be worried about man this is like Morocco's famous scam Square this is why I avoid this area the Medina like once you jump on into the side streets man they're super entertaining super fun places to be but to be honest here man you're just like a you're a walking dollar bill and I said this a few weeks ago and a bunch of people were like why are you talking bad about Morocco and I'm like I'm not it happens everywhere it's like walking around the Eiffel Tower in Paris like you're going to run into nothing nothing but scams like if you want to meet the authentic local Moroccan people full with amazing Hospitality you really got to leave this square right yeah and maybe go to another places in Morocco that are super beautiful but far away from the city I mean this is definitely a place you got to visit because the square is attached to the Medina and the Medina it's a UNESCO Heritage side like it's world heritage and it's very beautiful but you got to be super careful you do and last year we actually found a lady look look this lady just got her doing the same thing so yeah as you're walking around like they literally charge all the tourists it's ridiculous like to be honest I wish this Square got better and I know this video you guys are probably going to be like man Chris was out there just looking for the problems no I'm showing you guys the problems because last time you told me last time a lot of you guys were telling me in the comment section yo Chris I just came back from Marakesh and you didn't talk to us about the scams and it's because guys I don't genuinely like to spend my time um talking about those things but you're right that's my responsibility too I mean I recommend mares I recommend Morocco I recommend all you guys come here but you're right I got to tell you guys about those things as well because man I mean it it'd be wrong for me not to right yeah especially cuz you got to know how to deal with these people because last time we were here well we saw an older guy thank you thank you um last time we saw a guy telling um like pulling money out of an old man's a wallet and he was like man shaking like it was an older man dude was shaking and he was like no no no no you told me tip and like they took €40 from the guy for a picture cover on your shoulders like the the snake they just spot on you if they put that on me and at me for money like I will give them whatever whatever they won right because they W get off this so this lady is getting hassled right now for more money look at this they literally take so much money from the tourist guys it's crazy look at this look at this another scam caught right in front of me look at this they keep lit literally harassing this woman that's what happens here look at that so this lady just got grabbed and we literally just got done talking to her husband her husband's right here he's pissed that she got him but look we're going to see right now exactly what happens they told her that it was free and I told them no it's not it's not free look now she's going to pursue the lady man please the Moroccan government needs to get rid of these people let's come see what happens absolutely crazy and they will follow you until you actually until you pay something it's crazy look at this they're pursuing this lady imagine that was you here in Morocco imagine how scary that would be look at that the lady is literally like running for her life look at this absolutely crazy guys I'm trying to tell you these people are bad people that's the whole point of these videos guys look at this he's still going to she's still going to go up until she finds until she gets the money it's crazy they follow you and follow you and follow you let's see what happens right now look at that she still is persistent look at that she followed her all the way across the plaza unreal guys unreal unreal but yeah you know just things unfortunate things that happen everywhere there's a lot of tourists in the world but yeah let's walk around here let's see what else we can come across let's see if um we can't show you guys one more thing that you have to be aware of look here are the Hannah ladies a lot of sales women sales people more hna hello no Hannah thank you yeah everybody's calling me hakeim because of my jersey I actually picked this up yesterday as you guys saw as soon as we got here now I am going to dive on into the Medina and I want to do a bunch of shopping with these uh people from senagal as well but I want to actually talk to them a little bit more and uh get to know a little bit more about their story so we'll do that on in a later time in a later time but yeah guys they're selling all kinds of beauty products here in the main Square I kind of want to just focus on this video I want to focus on this main square and um also show you guys well a couple more things that you should be careful with because let's be honest I don't want any of you um while coming on over here and then sending me back messages talking about Chris you never told us about any of these things and you know they're things that should be talked about because you know um I think last time we came here we were wondering why so many people made videos about the scams in their country but it's because man they exist and they're and they're brutal man they're brutal especially as a tourist I mean they're brutal to encounter those kind of things but yeah they they do do some pretty impressive work isn't this where you got your braids done as well I think they're having trouble yeah they got the same problem going on right now hello hello no just make just checking yeah see the the the that's what goes on they come on they paint your hand and then they charge money for everybody it's crazy it's absolutely wild all right let's continue on with our walk man I I I feel like man these videos have to get a lot of attention because to be honest yeah I think I saved them from that you see she let them go but I think that the problem that you have here is that H let's go watch out watch out hake number one hakeim is number one I got the right jersey man I'd love to ask those people how that went huh but guys I'm literally you know what I'm going to keep filming this because watch we're going to come across the same action are they really I'm going to come across the same actions and it's going to keep happening over and over and over again no no no please don't touch me don't touch me you take the picture for my wife I'm not I'm not I'm not taking picture don't touch me don't touch me I tell the police take the picture go for police come on let's go let's go okay let's go no picture for me yeah let's go come on no take it not take picture let's go let's go come with me come with don't touch me don't touch me you see these are the people you got to avoid in Morocco taking pict now take picture for me not taking I wasn't taking a picture we're not taking picture not take picture why for take picture from me why not take picture now we are now we are you're damn right it's cuz it's cuz they keep scamming they keep scamming all the tourist you know they keep they keep putting hen on people's arms and then they charge them like 20 EUR old they just yes they keep doing it I don't understand why we say no no no and then they keep doing it it's ridiculous 20am is that's that's way too much huh how are you bro doing good man doing good all right well yeah see they get upset but guys that's what I was telling you once you once you come across those people man they become extrem ex violent and that's the whole point of this video you guys can hate on me if you want but I don't care I've never made a bad video about Morocco but I've gotten so many ridiculous messages and literally you have to stay away from the monkey people the snake people the henna ladies they're all man incredibly toxic and they will ruin your experience in Morocco and there's so many lovely people here in this country hardworking people people with great Hospitality but if you get involved into those situations man it can ruin your entire trip it's on the YouTube it yeah what's up bro goody how's it going yeah it's going all right where you from from I mean from London but India India I saw you like on the YouTube man like I've been out there India Bangladesh yeah how you finding Morocco it's good I think you've been here before many times I think I've seen you on YouTube as well like there videos before com in like I appreciate that well right now I'm actually making a little video about this Square did you have you ran into any hard times with the monkey Keys the snakes the hand not really that I mean we just came like a few hours back and just shopping oh so you've been here a few hours yeah okay cool you just got to be careful cuz there's a lot of scams bro and they get extremely like like violent no yes that I mean I've seen couple like taxis and other stuff like that but yeah just but you're having a good time though good man enjoy Morocco this place is special bro all right man take care what's your name anit anit anit yeah Chris CHR nice to meet you bro nice to meet you take care G take care so yeah he's he's been here a few hours but yeah no hard times with him like I said if you just walk away and say no no no the problem is is some people don't say no or don't know how to and then some people just simply can't they grab your arm they start painting on it you think people are being friendly because so many people don't travel the world and if they offer you like I don't know just take a picture with me or I don't know people people that don't travel too often they just don't know yeah and it can be very man it's sad difficult to experience that especially if it's your first street or or even if you're coming from Europe from a very like quiet City you know and it's sad because there's so many tourists here that I wish my country had yeah and Moroccan people I think they know and they most of them take care of the tourist yeah and like I said as everywhere there's in big cities so uh super touristic places like this there is a scam and bad people everywhere and like I said the Moroccan those people don't represent Moroccan people they don't represent the good side of the country like here there are incredible people hardworking people um and many honest people but um those people will give you the hardest time and will make your experience here hell anyways um you know what let's let's walk up towards the entrance of the Medina and then I think we're going to um slowly bring the video to an end but yeah guys this video was to make you aware of the things that happen here okay if you think I'm wrong look you know what let's actually stand right here and let's see what happens with these tourists all right let's see what happens you man thank you thank you thank you T my hand thank you you're welcome brother C no no no pictures right now I'm scared of snakes thank you bro this is snakes thank you thank you thank you no luck no bro thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you please thank you thank you all right well yeah guys um it gets pretty intense and to be honest I'm kind of upset that the video turned out that way because um I didn't want to share like well I didn't want anybody to come you know put their face in the camera and get get aggressive because you know things happen you know they're probably going to come and look for that lady now to be completely honest with you let's be real the Channel's big it gets a lot of views and I wasn't trying to screw anybody I mean these jobs have been here for years guys I'm telling you my first trip to 2017 to Morocco all this was still around it's been 9 years nothing has changed and there's millions of videos all over the internet but I'd be damn if I show you all the amazing things here and then I talk to you guys a little bit about that stuff because it can be very scary I remember my first time in Morocco and all of those things happening and man I didn't feel comfortable I didn't feel comfortable but then I got out of like you know these tourist areas and then you meet the real Hospitality the real Moroccan love and that's special that's what keeps having me and glattus come back they inviting you tea inviting you tea inviting you to your home eating couscous that's Morocco man um these people they take advantage of tourists and I hope that one day this changes it cleans I hope it cleans up I really do um but to be honest I don't know why nothing has ever changed with that wow look at this the C to prayer absolutely beautiful incredible yeah it feels good to be back huh yeah and guys I'm going to be making so many incredible videos here in maresh um but unfortunately yeah I had to share this little bit in peace with you um and I'm glad that I actually recorded that lady because those two tus were able to walk away you I think we saved them we saved them that's why she was so because she was trying to Al sa a lot of money from them yeah and that alone was worth the video so um with that being said guys I'm going to put the camera down now and I'll see you guys in a few days for another video from here in Marakesh yeah this place is gorgeous wow look at these paintings beautiful and yeah all of these Terraces right here they make for great places to get food um especially around Sunset but you got to get up there early because they are all fully slammed around sunset time but trust me they are incredible and you don't want to miss out on an opportunity to have a dinner at one of these restaurants it is truly worth it truly worth the [Music] experience yeah a lot has changed actually last year I think um there wasn't this many people out here here huh I think because of Co there was still a lot of countries with restrictions and a lot of countries that were shut down but now seems like everybody's out and abouts wow look at that guy they got a bunch of animals over there peacocks and everything oh my God that's crazy all right guys well stay away from the scams in Morocco man um be very Vigilant and you're going to have an amazing time here in the country right now I'm going to put the camera down and we'll see maybe we'll tune back in and we'll go on a little market hunt here in the Medina I think it's time I think it's time to go on a crazy little market spree all right guys um see you again soon how are you bro uh see you

be but it's been around for a long time I don't think anything's going to change but that's why I made this video because that was one lady I bet you if I walk around this Plaza there are so many
