Eight Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Visit Morocco
When planning our travels to Morocco here’s a list of things we were told:
You don’t want to go there?
It’s dangerous
Didn’t you hear about those murders?
The people are African!
It is a third world country
Is it safe going there?
The roads and drivers are bad
Your life could be in danger
I could go on and on about all the reasons why others told us why we shouldn’t visit Morocco and here are my reasons why I believe you shouldn’t visit Morocco.
1. You enjoy the bitterly cold, often snowy, climate of Europe in winter
2. You don’t like stunning scenery
3. Understanding a new culture is not a biggie for you
4. It’s not like home and you will be taken out of your comfort zone
5. They eat different food there and you can’t find fish and chips
6. Learning about history is boring
7. Meeting friendly interesting people doesn’t appeal to you
8. You like spending your hard earned money in overpriced countries!
So for all those reasons, I think you should not visit Morocco!
After just five weeks we’ve fallen in love with this new country.
Yes Morocco is in Africa, yes the roads are bad in places, yes some of the drivers are bad (unlike in our country, right?) and no we haven’t been able to find fish and chips. And Yes we were taken hostage by a local Moroccan man for six days!

Enjoyed your approach to Morocco. It truly is one of the best places I ever visited. Loved your photos.
Thanks Sue, I’m glad you enjoyed a slightly different angle to the usual writing. So many people love Morocco and I can definitely see us coming back here to escape the European winters.
I keep hearing good things about Morocco. There are so many reasons TO go!
Thanks Lori, you must put this on your bucket list, lol.
Oh Ruth and Alan, wish I was There !!! Enjoy your trip
Hi Paul, nice to hear from you. We were just talking about you today and wondering how you are doing. Morocco has been a real eye-opener for us, we will definitely be back (March 2020). Perhaps we will see you there. X
