I traveled there with a group tour booked via Intrepid Travel. I did the 3 day Sahara roundtrip from Marrakech to Merzouga. We made some stops in Ait Benhaddou and Tinghir.
For context, I am an Australian who has a very basic understanding of Morocco. I do not claim to be an expert on culture or languages, hence why I am requesting the assistance of you fine people.
I like to do fantasy schedules for football tournaments. I am currently engaged in a discussion on the virtues of an 8 group of 6 World Cup, and the Australian finals system. To make this work cleanly, I need 24 stadiums (hence a couple of extra stadiums that are not going to be used in the real 2030 world cup). I am creating a series of posters with all the games scheduled, and a draw of the countries I think will qualify. I will post the finalised poster later. For all games, I am including the names of the stadiums in the local Latin script (Castilian, Portuguese, Catalan, Galician, Basque, French), Arabic, and Berber.
If you see the names of your stadiums in a Latin script, would you prefer it in English, French, or something else? For example, I have Stade as opposed to Stadium. Would you prefer to see Stade de Marrakech or Marrakesh Stadium? Also the names of cities, hence the two spellings of Marrakesh. Fez is another one that is different in English and French.
I do not speak Arabic, but one of my colleagues said it looked okay. I just want to confirm if it is correct or not.
The Berber translation is Google Translate later tested in AI. Is it even accurate?
Would Moroccans prefer Arabic then Berber or Berber then Arabic?
Below is a sample of the Finals. The Australian finals system has a second chance aspect to it:
Round of 24
Qualifying Final: Group winners vs group winners. Winner goes straight to the quarter final. The loser goes to the round of 12.
Elimination finals: 2nd in group vs 3rd in group. Winner to Round of 16. Loser goes home.
Round of 16
Winners of Elimination finals play off, sudden death
Round of 12:
Winners of Round of 16 host the loser of Qualifying finals
Quarter Finals
Winner of Qualifying Finals host the winner of Round of 12
Semi Final, Bronze, and Finals are as per normal.
Teams are separated from the other teams from the group stage up until the Semi Final.
During the group stage, teams are fighting for the top of group as to guarantee a second chance and a shorter path to the final. Teams lower down are fighting for the 2nd and 3rd spots.
My family wanted to go to the embassy to get a travel visa to Europe (in tetouan) but were denied an "appointment" for lack of a better word and I got very bummed out because I always wanted to travel outside this country (cuz after you visit the actually good historic stuff you're just left with "dari7 sayid bn lmla7") and I am wondering is there a way to try again with a reasonable amount of time. Especially since summer is gonna end soon
Edit: fixed a missing parentheses
Hey Guys, I’m on a cruise that has a port stop in Tangiers. I booked an excursion to Chefchaouen. Do you know if they accept Euro in the souks or is it strictly Dirhams?

Can we do something about the concerns that come up every year around the medical school entrance exams? Candidates are spread across different exam centers, yet the level of supervision doesn't always seem to be the same. Maybe there's a good reason for it, but from the outside it leaves many people wondering whether everyone is really taking the exam under the same conditions.
I've also heard people claim that some candidates made it onto the main admission list despite allegedly not even having a bac degree. I don't know whether that's true, but if these stories are false, they should be put to rest. If they're true, they deserve a proper explanation.
It's just weird that some student aspiring to become meds , must subscribe the fact that some others may or will just cheat to get their way in !
I've seen many parties in the west promise stricter rules for immigration in elections, but as far as I know no political party in Morocco gave a promise to fight illegal immigrants inside our country , they even took canceling the added hour as a promise but why not this , are they told not to talk about it? I don't believe in conspiracy theories but this is very strange.
Lately as I came back to my family home, where we don't have Wi-Fi, I started to notice this show "علم وحضارة" on TV and find myself paying attention to it, I'm actually not a fan of french, but I guess my engineering studies could play a role in making me interested and understand most of it...so I was wondering about your opinions about it 😗

While traveling in Morocco, I discovered something hilarious: locals were using the word "taco" to refer to what is clearly a wrap.
You know, that big, folded tortilla thing filled with goodies the sworn enemy of actual Mexican tacos.
So I have to ask… why has Morocco decided to commit this glorious culinary war crime against Mexico? Is this some kind of North African revenge plot, or have they just decided "taco" sounds cooler than "wrap"?
Someone please explain this chaos before I start calling pizza "couscous." 🇲🇦🌮
From a young age we're taught that there's no such thing such as true friends and that one must only trust their immediate family with one's deepest struggles and secrets, even extended family aren't always considered reliable. Do you have support systems that arent related to you?

My cousin, who I'm close to, is getting married in France on the 11 of September. I've been very busy and I didn't have the time to apply for a visa until now. But I discovered that it's almost impossible to get it between now and then.
Is there anything I can do? I don't mind going through a different European country or paying a large amount to get there. For the record I've never been to Europe.
Recently, my brother requested a document to prove he is the son of my parents. But according to our retarded government (municipality of Sale), my father is now a girl, daughter of my grandfather and my mother at the same time. Looks like, my father now is also my brother...
Hi, I hope you don’t mind me asking for your opinion. I’m not Moroccan, and I’m trying to understand if my expectations are reasonable or if I’m misunderstanding Moroccan traditions. I’m planning to pay for everything myself. My proposed budget is €13k for the dihaz (gold), €6k for the engagement, and €7k for the wedding and gifts (total €26k).
I’m also trying to keep some emergency savings. Do you think my proposal is reasonable? Is this typical in Morocco, or does it depend on the family and region? I’d really appreciate your honest opinion. Thank you.
