While trying to find a beer somewhere in Meknes, Morocco, I talk about my various interactions with hustlers in the city who came up to me trying to sell stuff. The timeline of my story gets a little mixed up, since I had so many different encounters with various guys.

I might have been wrong in the beginning of the video when I stated that alcohol isn't specifically banned in the Koran. Apparently "intoxicants" are mentioned and advised against. But there's no specific punishment recommended for anyone drinking alcohol or using drugs. It sounds like the subject is debatable. Here's an interesting article by a Muslim who claims that the Koran doesn't ban alcohol: www.moroccoworldnews.com/2014/12/147921/nothing-in-the-quran-says-alcohol-is-haram-saudi-author

A hardcore hustler in Morocco is easy to detect. If he looks like a Keith Richard after smoking a pound of cannabis, talks too much, too fast and does not listen, do not shy away from cutting his price by half, and don't budge! There are tons of people out there who would be grateful for making a modest income, by providing a great service. Those, in my opinion deserve more than what they ask for. Great video content never the less. Enjoy the adventure!

Do not waste your time if you need to drink alcohol... But if you want to get away from alcohol then it is perfect. Scammers are few and far between. Everyone trying to sell something will invite you for tea and so on... It is not a scam, you can have a tea and enjoy a chat and even if you do not buy something you are welcome. I have never seen as much generosity and hospitality as in Morocco.

Ive been up in the rif for about 7 weeks now , i arrived before most tourists had started to come back and there was a palpable sense of desperation from everyone in the tourist sector. once people recognise you after a day or 2 anywhere you get left alone generally. also once you have spent a few days here you start to understand what things should cost. bearing in mind the average daily wage here is between 150-250 dirham , any and all tipping will be gratefully accepted.

Alcohol is found in Carrefour, all Carefours in Morocco have alcoloh section. Maybe you should've asked someone working there because the Alcohol place has it's own door. Or you could've just walked a bit in the central area and you'll find it easily The wine you took is from the Meknes (there is a map in the back lol), the beer youtook is the cheapest beer you can buy in Morocco, not a good one It is legal to have alcohol and sell alcohol in Morocco, Meknes actually has a lot of bars and liquor stores unless they are closed for some reason (they do close in the religious holidays)

Morocco even produces a lot of alcohol, Meknes is the biggest Wine producer of Morocco btw. Most of it is consumed locally by local people. Also the part about it being banned in the Koran is part of a big debate (there is no right answer although the more agreed upon is that it is banned but lately many contest it), the Koran does tell you not to be intoxicated but doesn't specifically say alcohol and doesn't necessarly ban it, tha Hadiths on the other hand do explicitly ban it
@izzzzi8480
@izzzzi8480 2 года назад
Yes u i dont contest it of course islam bans alcohol. Its just commen sense its a kibd of drug which maked u not anynore urself. What states in hadiths is important. The quran doesbt also tell us how we pray but the hadieth does. So if the hadith does ban alcohol and a little bit of commen sense u know whats right on this topic. The idea that some want tomake it hallal is ridiculous and luckily dobt know any who ever told me its hallal

All vineyards are owned by Moroccans just like any other farming land. However Wineries are owned by anonymous companies (S.A = Society Anonyme). Traditionally those companies were run by Moroccan Jews, because a Muslim is "not allowed" to get a permit for producing wine. As twisted as it may sound, most alcohol beverages sold in Morocco, are consumed by Moroccans. (According to the statistics)

Nice video Gabriel, I enjoy a beer while watching your videos 😀, for sure you can buy a beer in carrefour in Morocco as I did when I was there, the carrefour I went to sold it in a separate place form the main store in the car park, maybe if you ask someone in the shop they will tell you where to go

Right off the title, I am gonna have to say theres no "Islamic" concept of public bath house - its just got to be likely geographical-cultural tradition ie in middle eastern countries where water is scare and public bath is historically more practical ✌️

i had great wine that was made in Morocco, although no wine store was close to us. We had wine in the hotel and it was very expensive as one would expect. yes, the carrefour has alcohol but it was too far and we needed a taxi to get there. it was easier just to have drinks in hotels.

Food prices differ from a restaurant to another depending on the location but also the reputation of the restaurant. The fancy ones are a way more expensive.

Have to be very careful everywhere in every country. Keep your money and not to give out to anyone easily. There are too many scammers and hustlers. The best way to do is not to buy any souvenirs except foods for your meals.

There are also plenty of poor people you know. In fact they are all poor. So give out your money to those that need it to survive, not just to have the luxury of travel like you.

Hi Gabriel, I always look forward to your latest video. The fact that you stay in lower cost "quaint" hotels make your videos so much more interesting. I know a cold beer is really worth a long walk especially in a hot place like Morocco. I assume you're heading for Marrakesh?
