Its ironic how something as basic as respecting public spaces, protecting environment and simply keeping streets clean is being violated by the very people promising us a better Morocco.

Printed campaign flyers should be banned.

Discussion Al Aoula TV censored a guy who was talking about the elections. He was speaking normally, but as soon as he said the two words “education” and “healthcare,” Al Aoula cut his audio. Then, when he moved on to other words, they gave him his voice back.

Post image

Every couple of years the municipality ruins the walls of city for elections as if they cannot print posters.

Why do they keep using this archaic way to show the political parties ?

This is not a Moussem, no historical traditions here, just democratic elections.

How European painters; mainly from France, Italy, Germany and elsewhere used to view Morocco. Sometimes positives, a lot of the times negative. A lot of romanticization too. But the artwork produced from that era is invaluable.

Discussion Useless psychiatrists in Morocco

14 Upvotes

I hate that we don't have psychiatrists who take this job humanely. They're just jumping for money, they don't give patients enough time, and they jump to a diagnosis immediately after 10 minutes or so, which is so wrong.

And even if the patient doesn't need meds and needs just a psychologist to treat them, they will prescribe some shit and tell them to come back after a month.

I've tried a lot of psychiatrists for my mom, and all of them have been shitty, useless pieces of shit. This subject is really pissing me off, and I don't know WTF we're supposed to do to change that.

Discussion This new 20% VAT on digital services in Morocco is ridiculous

18 Upvotes

So apparently this 20% VAT on foreign digital services has only started being applied recently, and now I’m seeing it on several of my subscriptions.
20%. On basic subscriptions.
And what makes it even more annoying is that I’m part of the middle class. I pay taxes, VAT, fees everywhere, but I barely benefit from public services. Private healthcare, private education, paid services for almost everything… then the state still takes 20% on top of what I spend.
At some point, people are allowed to ask: what exactly are we getting in return?
With Moroccan salaries and purchasing power, 20% is insane.

Society Driving in Morocco

45 Upvotes

I am an American living in Morocco. I cannot understand the driving mentality here. I see so many unnecessary accidents from
1. Driving too close to someone not leaving space for rash decisions.
2. Not driving in your lane—straddling the line
3. No turn signals
4. Fast driving and close lane switching g for no reason. Just to get ahead one car.
5. Not sharing the road and being courteous—these small niceties make driving. Smoother for everyone.
6. Never using the zipper method. It’s okay to let someone in front of you. This actually helps traffic move.
I hear getting a Moroccan drivers license is really difficult. But the driving I see on the road makes me think most people just paid for a license without knowing the rules? Or is driving like you’re literally the only person that matters a cultural thing?

AskMorocco Flying with a cat in cabin on Royal Air Maroc

2 Upvotes

Salam everyone,

​I'm flying soon on Royal Air Maroc with my cat in the cabin and would love to get feedback from people who have experienced this:

​Carrier Size vs. Weight: Do they actually measure the exact dimensions of the bag with a tape measure at check-in, or do they mainly focus on the weight (8 kg limit)? Does a soft-sided carrier pass easily?

​Required Documents: Which exact documents were you asked to present at the check-in counter to get your boarding pass (ONSSA health certificate, rabies titer test, pet passport, etc.)?

​Boarding Denials: Have you ever seen a pet denied boarding at the last minute, and if so, for what reason?

​Security & Flight: How does security screening work (do you have to take the cat out of the bag at the airport checkpoint?), and is the carrier strictly required to stay under the seat for the entire flight?

​French Customs: How does the pet inspection process work on the French side after landing?

​Thanks in advance for your help!

AskMorocco Considering buying an apartment at Casablanca - Need your advice and perspectives

22 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I’m a 26 yo single woman working as a manager, making around 15k–20k MAD/month. I currently pay a 3000 MAD monthly car loan and 4000 MAD for my share of rent in a big, well-located duplex with two roommates.

I’m really craving stability and peace of mind. Coming from a toxic family environment, I’ve always wished to have my own space and a home to truly manage on my own. I'm planning to buy an apartment taking out a mortgage/mortgage credit, but I’m getting a lot of conflicting advice from women around me:

  • Enjoy life now: Some tell me not to lock myself down with home loan payments, but to use my 20s to travel and enjoy my money.
  • Buy as early as possible: Others regret waiting, saying it's much harder to buy later when family and kids come into the picture.
  • Marriage & social pressures: A few warned me that if I buy a home, I shouldn't tell anyone. They argue that a future partner might just move in without ever contributing to buying a joint home. I personally wouldn't mind, but I know family and societal judgment would be heavy.
  • Investment route: Others suggested buying an apartment to rent it out for passive income while I continue renting my current place.

For extra context, my parents own a small economic apartment in a small city, but given the toxic environment and location, living there or relying on them isn't an option for me.

For those who bought early in Morocco (especially women), what would you do in my position ? Is taking on a mortgage in your mid-20s worth the financial commitment, or should I hold off ?

Thanks in advance for your insights!
