Ever been/live in Morocco?

[Sonny Qc]

A few years back, My father bought a condo in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Canadian winter are pretty shitty, so he live there around 4-6 months a year.
Family members goes there on vacation few weeks a years too.

But, turns out my parents don't like Florida as much as they tought.
They started looking for another place to spend 1/2 of a calendar years.
Started looking a few places in the Caribbean first.
Stumbled across Villas around Casablanca near the water.
Turns out you can have a big fckng deal of a place for 250k
(3-4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, most of time with a small pool)
From what I can see, city looks amazing.
My parents love they fact that they speak French there.
So they seem more than interested in going.

Ex:

My questions are,
Is Morocco a safe place to live?
Are Moroccan friendly people?
If you're not Muslim, does that pose a problem?
If real estate is cheap, same for the general cost of living?
Healthcare system, adequate?

Thanks Sherbros.

All I know is Moroccan girls are hot, the culture is great and it's located in the border of Africa and Europe.

My dad is Moroccan and my mother is Dutch. I live in the Netherlands, but I have been multiple times in Morocco.

When I'm in Morroco. I'am by my dad and we go to our family and to his friends. My family in Morocco and my dad his friends are nice, the food is nice, and the weather is also nice.

I find Fes and Tanger the two most beautiful places of Morocco.

My dutch grandfather is right wing. When I was young I read in his right wing magazines and newspapers that women in Muslim countries are opressed, but when I'm in Morocco the women are not opressed, they just have tradional roles between men and women.

Yup

Odds are if you are in a marketplace in Morocco you will see James Bond being chased by a bunch of henchmen, jumping through draperies and off balconies and shit while a caravan of black Mercedes squeal through the narrow streets trying to keep up.

Should be fun.

 

[Simple Southerner]

Yup

Meh, horrible murders.
But 2 murders isn't enough to make me fear / hate an entire country.

''There is considerable risk from crime in Casablanca, and moderate risk from crime in Rabat. Media reporting and anecdotal observations indicate that the frequency and intensity of crime in Morocco’s major cities is similar to other large cities in North Africa. The most common crimes are petty crimes, such as pickpocketing, theft from unoccupied vehicles, robbery, purse snatching, and burglary. Criminals focus on high-traffic and high-density areas such as tourist sites, markets, medinas, and festivals. Criminals tend to fixate on people who appear unfamiliar with their surroundings, dressed in obviously foreign clothing, or otherwise draw attention to themselves. Due to the low availability of firearms within Morocco, violent crimes tend to be committed with edged weapons such as knives and occasionally swords.''

Spent a week in Morocco, primarily Marrakesh. Just doing touristy things. Very good impression: Lovely country, charming and hospitable people, outstanding cuisine. Had a good time, don't think i would live there, though.

They should go spend some time there first, before even considering upping sticks for something that different to what they are used to. Most people will be easy-going, but the odd fanatic will definitely not be pleased about their presence, and in the muslim world you are a target if you are an American. Goes without saying really.

Sounds good.

Being able to meet people half-way on the language part is already a good start.
