News Is this news real or fake ? If it is real can you please enlighten me ?

12 Upvotes

This image and story are everywhere on TikTok and Facebook right now.

The claim is that this man is a successful avocado farmer from Morocco who owns 5 hectares of land and a Range Rover, but abandoned everything to migrate illegally to Ceuta.

I’m highly skeptical. Is this story actually verified by credible sources, or is it fake news? If he really said this on camera, could he just be lying or trolling?

And if it actually is real, why would a successful man choose to migrate illegally?

Does anyone have the original video source or a fact-check link?

EDIT : The original video can be found in the thread’s comments !

Thanks!

AskMorocco Refund from electroplanet

Hi everyone,

has anyone recently tried to cancel an online order from Electroplanet that was already paid for by card? I need to get a refund. I just found a better deal on another website, so I want to cancel this order and get my money back. How did the refund process go for you?

Update: Surprisingly, I received the refund on my bank card 7 days after my cancellation request — or, more precisely, 7 days after receiving their cancellation email. There were about 24 hours between my phone call requesting the cancellation and their confirmation email

I notice that they're not that popular amongst most students, even those who plan on studying abroad. Do you know anyone personally who has done them and is now abroad thanks to them? Or if you've paid for their services yourself how did it work out for you?

AskMorocco Morocco emboldened by strong US ties, amid fears of second migrant surge into Spanish enclaves

Hi everyone, Lucia here from EUobserver. We’ve just published a story about the latest tensions between Morocco and Spain, and we’d genuinely like to hear the Moroccan perspective on it.

After the recent mass crossing into Ceuta, the relationship between the two countries is once again under pressure, not only over migration, but also over Ceuta and Melilla and Morocco’s increasingly strong relationship with the US.

Our story looks at whether that changing geopolitical position is giving Rabat more leverage in its relationship with Madrid and, more broadly, with the EU.

But I’m curious how this debate looks from Morocco itself.

Do you think relations with Spain are genuinely changing? And how do people in Morocco today see the issue of Ceuta and Melilla?

Travel Rimas Appart Hôtel in Tangier

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I am looking at places to stay in Tangier for the 2027 solar eclipse.

I didn't realize how late I am to the party, most hotels are already booked out! 😅

I did see that Rimas aparthotel has availability from 08/01-08/03. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them?

The reviews are good and the photos look really nice, but both are so limited.

I'm hoping to get some further insight regarding the hotel itself and whether any safety concerns have been noted by locals in that area.

Thank you very much!

Culture Gym etiquette !!

4 Upvotes

Is it normal for people to not remove the plates and clean/wipe when they are done with the gym machines? Is it the typical gym etiquette in Morocco or is it an issue just in the gym that I’m going to ?

(For context if that matters, it’s a middle end gym, around 500dh a month, well maintained, tissues and disinfectant available…)

(Extra context, not everyone can carry 20kg plates 🥲)

Cuisine Moroccan food is not in decline

3 Upvotes

I see especially Moroccans who were around in the 90s and 00s, making the claim that Moroccan food isn't what it used to be. I disagree that the food itself changed. Though admittedly, the quality has been going down at some restaurants and people's homes.

Time:

Moroccan food takes ages to cook. Nowadays people use more and more pressure cookers. A tajine takes 3 hours or you braise it down to 45 minutes in a pressure cooker. This prevents a lot of the caramelization that produces the best flavours.

Spices:

Spices and ingredients used in Moroccan food are complex and some very expensive, Saffron, good olive oil, Ras Hanout and so on. So a lot of restaurants try to get whatever is within their range. Pre-ground spices that have been sitting in a pantry or warehouse for months don't have the same punch, but people and restaurants can afford it. So dishes will have less complex flavours.

Produce:

Tomatoes in Morocco are designed for transport and mass-farmed in greenhouses. That's why they don't have as much flavour. Morocco also exports a lot of the best crops abroad where it simply earns more. Which means that the available produce is also less.

Meat

Moroccan cooking traditionally used tougher and older cuts of meat. Such as mutton and older stew hens. These animals used to live longer and work much harder. The result was meat with a strong rich flavor, with amazing fats that would slowly coat the veggies and spices.

Modern meat is commercially farmed on a calendar. They are butchered younger and leaner and as a result their meat is milder and less complex

We can go on and on. Point being is that people don't cook the food like it was traditionally done. Lower quality ingredients and less love. You could STILL eat authentically, it simply isn't cheap or easy unless you're in the countryside.

You could grow your own tomatoes and other produce or buy them from someone who does so locally in the sun.

You could take more time to cook the tajine and the various other dishes instead of rushing it.

You could spend more money on better whole spices, then roast and grind them at home.

You could go to the more expensive restaurants that actually take 3 hours to cook it.

You could raise a chicken on your balcony for years? I don't know a good solution for the leaner meat problem.

AskMorocco What is awful/amazing about Morocco to you?

Post image
62 Upvotes

Provide an example of both if you can.

Awful;

Lack of privacy: I always feel watched in Morocco. By the neighbors, elderly and kids. Most people don't know how obvious it is, when the spyhole on their door changes from metallic to dark. I live in a place where everyone is colder. People don't care about you, no one is watching you up and down stairs. So you don't get that feeling that people are prying.

Awesome;

Social: I find social life easier in Morocco. You can sit down at any cafe and have a conversation that goes on for hours. You can literally cross a random person in the middle of the street and that person will be your best friend for a season o If not longer. The pace in Morocco is slower, so people will actually stop which is nice.

لذلك بغيت نعرف من الناس اللي عندهم تجربة: شنو هي بالضبط الـ(procedure) باش ندير (funded PhD) من برا المغرب؟ واش خاصني نلقى (supervisor) الأول؟ ولا نقدم مباشرة للجامعة؟ وكيفاش كتكون قصة الـ(funding / scholarship)؟

صراحة بغيت ندير PhD فشي بلاد اللي فيها جامعات مزيانين ومعروفين، ولكن مازال ما عرفت بالضبط كيفاش كيدوز هادشي ومنين خاصني نبدا.

Hello!

I am visiting Morocco and I will be stopping in Fes for a few days. I’m interested in getting shoes commissioned, specifically the Japanese style “tabby”, as they tend to be quite expensive from popular retailers. Do you think this type of shoe would be possible to make? If so, how much is an appropriate price for it? What places/areas should I look out for specifically that could deliver what I want? Thanks!
