I don't care how interesting this video is, the amount of clickbait in the title and thumbnail give me no choice but to down-vote and ignore. I have a Russian friend who went to Tangier for the first time two days ago, she posted this in Russian on her Facebook and I google translated it:
I always wanted to visit Morocco, and now, living in Seville, which is so close to the coast, I just could not ignore this long-standing desire :)
So here I am, in Tanjir, enjoying the bright sun, and wrapping myself in my overcoat from the piercing wind.
On the first day we took a local guide, who, to our sorrow, almost did not tell anything about the city, but only drove us through the narrow streets of Medina - and brought us to different stores, where he was paid a percentage of sales))) So we learned a lot about how to make shawls, cosmetics from Argan oil, bread - and many of the group left with solid packages.
And also, after running along the old streets with markets on the ground, pestered a lot with tourist junk, small rooms with public bakeries and baths, and cafes of colonial times, I had the feeling that Morocco is a very poor country where nothing has changed for a long time. ...
And if my day ended on this - I would have remained with this feeling.
But I got into a new part of the city.
And what's in there? A bunch of expensive cafes, not for tourists - for locals who can afford it. 24 hour spa.
It is such a beautiful promenade. Parked Audi and Maserati. Huge shopping malls.
Well, to dilute this beauty, beggars and trash on the streets.
Because they go on foot - the poor. Elite - drives around in cars and idly strolls along the promenade))
And of course, Arabic is spoken only in the old center; new zone is the french zone.
Apparently, he is perceived here as something cooler, which makes you better than your other countrymen.
Here is such a contrast.
Very interesting.
It’s as if Morocco is trying with all its might to preserve the image of the Eastern Bazaar and at the same time grow rapidly
