weekend in morocco
ppl complain abt weekends saying it should be Friday Saturday instead of Saturday Sunday bcz yk Friday is for l3ibada w Sla w couscous mn wrah ki jik n3ass, understandable.
Now my problem is that in fact we don't have a weekend, we have a day off which is Sunday, there's ppl who work and even kids study Saturdays including me (I am college student) not talking abt private skool lol.
Don't you think this is unfair for employers and kids? it's just tiirring and one day is not enough, why don't we have a proper weekend like the rest of the world?
I am team Friday Saturday weekends but I know this can't be happening since we have partner ships with Europe soo... It's really sad that we are the ones that has to adjust with them..this opens another topic.

Is it weird to feel older than your age?!
I’m 24 years old and I live in Agadir. I’ve noticed that when I talk to people my age, I öften feel older in my mind. It’s hard for me to have deep or serious conversations withh them because we don’t think the same way. I feel more comfortable talking to older people. I enjoy with him. Sometimes I wonder if this is normal, and if other people feel the same. I think I’m not the only one maaybe some people also feel like me!. is that a problem? Do you ever feel like that too?

Help be nice to me !
Hi everyone! I’m a newly married Moroccan woman currently living in Morocco. InchaAllah, I’ll be moving to Chicago, Illinois next year to join my husband.
I’m really excited, but at the same time a bit nervous because I don’t want to feel lonely in a new country. I would love to connect with other Moroccans who are already living in Chicago or planning to move there too. Whether you’re a student, newlywed, or have been there for years I’d really appreciate making some friends before I arrive!
Please feel free to comment or send me a message. I’d love to chat and get to know you! 😊 Thank you in advance and may Allah make it easy for all of us 🙏
Ps: 3andi 22 and I know I’m young but bghina nkharjo man haram o ndir hwayaj halal he’s Palestinian Puerto Rican and we love each other! But I don’t want to be alone!

Stopped by 3 men claiming to be police late at night. Terrifying.
Last night I was driving through Fquih Ben Salah pretty late — probably around midnight (extremely dumb to do, my wife and I were trying to drive through the night to our destination)— and had to pull over briefly. Out of nowhere, a guy on a moped pulls up and stops right in front of my car, blocking me. Then two more guys on scooters show up. They’re all in regular clothes, but one of them has a walkie-talkie and handcuffs and they start saying they’re police.
They asked where I was from and I said the U.S., and then they started insisting I was going the wrong way to my destination (I wasn’t). They kept pressuring me to turn around. I never got out of the car, just kept the doors locked and windows mostly up. They didn’t show any badges or real ID — just kept saying they were cops and trying to sound official. After a couple minutes, they let me go without much explanation.
I’m 100% sure they weren’t real police, and honestly, it was scary as hell. It felt like they were about to try something but then changed their minds.
Has anyone had anything like this happen in Morocco or elsewhere? Any idea what they actually wanted? Robbery? Reroute me somewhere more isolated? And why would they just let us go like that? Still trying to make sense of it.

Thinking we are closer to Europeans than Arabs and Africans is white supremacist garbage
There's this bullshit take i keep seeing on the internet that Amazighs are more similar to europeans than africans and arabs and it's breaking my brain.
First of all, YOU ARE AFRICAN. Tamazight is an Afro-Asiatic language which means it shares ancestry with Arabic and other languages spoken currently or historically in north Africa and the middle east. And it doesn't matter if you think you are amazigh or arab or whatever the fuck, YOU ARE STILL AFRICAN BECAUSE MOROCCO IS IN AFRICA.
We share a lot of cultural similarities with west African countries, and it's so apparent that we also share a lot with middle eastern cultures due to shared language and religion that the only way you can deny that is if you've never been to Morocco.
Do we have some similarities with southern Europe? Yeah we do. We were once part of the Roman empire, Iberia was once ruled by us and we were recently colonized by France and Spain, so of course we influenced each other. But be for real, do you seriously think we have more similarities with Europe than the middle east and other African countries?
Here, I'll tell you why some people think that: It's because they think Europeans are superior and are insecure about their own race, ethnicity and culture. They think that by being closer to Europeans they'll be worth more.
Colonialism has made them think they are inferior so now they try to imitate the people who enslaved and raped their ancestors. No different than the Amazighs who think they are Arab.
And I've seen people say that Amazighs are white, do people even realize how racist that is? It's literally erasing brown (who are the majority) and black north Africans from existence. There are Amazighs from Mali ffs.
It all stems from thinking that white is superior and brown/black is inferior. People like this have internalized racism and want to distance themselves from their ethnic and cultural identity because they are ashamed of it so they cling to another identity that they see as better.
BE PROUD of your culture and the fact that you are African. Embrace it and don't let racists make you feel inferior.
Why even care about who we are similar to anyway? Why not just celebrate our unique and diverse culture without comparing it to others?

Anyone else feeling lost with no plan? Let’s build something real together
Hey
I’m 25, unemployed, and honestly just trying to figure life out. No roadmap—just a bunch of dreams, ideas, and a strong desire to change things. I know I’m not the only one feeling this way.
What if a few of us came together—strangers from different places, all a bit lost—and started a small group to support each other, stay accountable, and actually work toward building a life we’re proud of?
Not just personal growth, but real action: learning, creating, and eventually making money doing something meaningful.
If this speaks to you, drop a comment or DM me. Let’s not do this alone.

PLEASE only go to a certified dentist !
Hey everyone
I came on here to share my story to warn you all and hopefully prevent other people from suffering the same fate as me...
I had cavities on two of my front teeth (right next to each other) but unfortunately I ignored it until they became painful. I couldn't sleep/eat and I couldn't work properly for days on end. I tried getting some emds from the pharmacy but they would only work temporarily and the pain would become even worse. At one point I realized I had no choice but to get them fixed. I went to a local dentist's office (in february of 2020) and was quoted 500dh for each tooth so 1000dh for a root canal + filling on each. I had the money but I don't know why I was so stingy (I would've paid even double knowing what I know now)...
I told a couple of friends about the issue and one of them recommended a "sani3 asnan"- a backstreet/blackmarket tooth fixer who would fix both for 200. The low price was shocking and I was instantly convinced. I didn't know any better so I went to see him.
The place he "operated" was a bit dodgy and crowded. A few red lights went off in my head.I couldn't help but wonder if their equipment was being sanitized properly and if the guy really knew what he was doing (He's not a doctor after all) but I brushed it off and tried to convince myself that they were "just teeth"... What could go wrong?
I went in and got a numving shot by the guy. He drilled my teeth for a few minutes and "filled" them. He was done within 20 ish minutes and he said I'm all good and that the pain will never return.
When I went back home everything was good. I didn't like the shape and color of the filling but I told myself that I couldn't complain. After all I only paid 200dh.
Fast forward to early 2024 I started to feel throbbing pain in my upper jaw right where those teeth are. I tooth some pain medication and avoided going to get medical help again.
I kept taking antibiotics and pain medication every 2 months or so. Toward the end of 2024 a zit appeared on my gums and started oozing a foul-smelling liquid (which I would later find out was pus). No matter how many antibiotics i took it wouldn't budge. A little later I started feeling pain in my nasal cavity. It felt as if someone was pounding the floor of my nasal cavity with a hammer. My head felt heavy. The pus was still there. Needless to say I was TERRIFIED.
I plucked up my courage and booked an appointment with the dentist I avoided the first time (out of fear or stupidity I still can't decide).
I told him my story and he looked pretty concerned. He took an x-ray and what he showed me was terrifying. My teeth were never filled in the first place. The "sani3" just left the canals empty. Even the filling he did on top of the canals was a mess. BUT the most troubling thing was that the infection (seeing it was never cleaned well in the first place) spread into the bone and formed a HUGE cyst that was 1 - 1.5mm away from my nasal cavity... i had to get a 3D scan done and it confirmed that the cyst was not only incredibly large and had ravaged my upper jaw but it was 1 or 2 millimeters away from my nasal cavity.
This time, even the dentist couldn't help me. I was referred to a maxillo-facial surgeon and he said i needed surgery under général anesthesia to remove the cyst and many more teeth that are now sentenced to death because the cyst has expanded and engulfed them...
Aside from the financial hit I'm about to take, my self-confidence and self-esteem are now are wrecked... How will I smile after this and how will I cope with the pain... ?
I hope my story reaches at least one of you and prevents them from going through this. Teeth are not just teeth and don't allow just about anyone to do whatever they want in your mouth...

Married to a Moroccan
As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuhu, dear brothers and sisters.
I’m reaching out for some advice.
I’m a practising Muslim brother, married for two years to my Moroccan wife. When we met my wife was not wearing Hijab however after I spoke to her how I like her to wear a Hijab after marriage . She started wearing it . Due to a project I’ve been working abroad, I’ve been away from her for some time. She is living with her parents.Alhamdulillah, the project is nearly finished, and I’ve been planning for us to reunite soon, in shā’ Allāh.
There’s almost a 10-year age gap between us, but things started off beautifully. From the beginning, I made it clear that honesty and transparency were important to me. It was not to control her but she was the source of my peace. She understood and even shared access to her social media accounts with me. She later created a second Instagram account, which she said was for her charity work. Although I found it a little unusual, I chose to trust her.
Recently, unfortunately, I discovered she was speaking to another man via Instagram. When I confronted her, she told me her cousin asked to follow that account and when questioned why she is messaging the account . She disconnected her internet and called me back later. she then claimed that it was a friend using her account to chat with him. I was deeply hurt, especially since she hadn’t mentioned it before and usually shares everything with me. I called her friend and her friend confirmed it was indeed her.
This led to growing doubts. I attempted to log into her second account, which was public and followed by many men ( which I did not notice before), but she logged me out immediately. I was devastated and felt something was being hidden from me. I trusted her completely and never doubted our love or marriage. As someone who values logic and clear communication, this situation made me feel betrayed.
We argued, and she accused me of being toxic and not trusting her. She then deactivated her main account, but told me to visit her in Morocco and promised to show me her phone and explain everything.
Heartbroken but hopeful, I booked the earliest flight. When I arrived, she did show me the second account and had also reactivated her main one( which she did not give me access to). However, I mentioned the many messages I had seen before she logged me out. She said she had deleted them because they were just message requests.
Not long after, her tone shifted drastically. She told me she no longer saw a future between us and asked for a divorce. Additionally she also said I want a divorce and remarry you again in front of my parents. Our intention was to have a ceremony in a couple of months .I am completely baffled by this situation and am questioning our whole relationship.
I am thinking this is a sign from Allah SWT that we should go our separate ways.

What is one problem in your daily life that no app or website has solved yet?
Hi everyone,
I’m a Moroccan developer and I want to build something useful.
But before starting, I’d love to hear from YOU:
👉 What’s one annoying, hard, or time-wasting thing you face daily that a smart app or tool could solve?
It could be personal (like budgeting or stress) or local (like booking services, finding jobs, etc.)
Let’s brainstorm. Maybe I can build it 💻

A 6.5B USD EV battery gigafactory is starting construction near Kénitra.
While headlines come and go, something major is quietly unfolding in Morocco’s industrial landscape. Chinese-European battery giant Gotion High-Tech is starting construction on what will be one of the largest EV battery plants in the world, just outside Kénitra.
The plan in numbers:
* Total investment: $6.5 billion
* Location: Industrial zone of Ain Johra (between Sidi Yahya El Gharb and Tiflet)
* Production start: Q3 2026
* Phase 1 output: 20 GWh (gigawatt-hours)
* Full capacity target: 100 GWh
* Local integration: 70% from Phase 1
* Jobs: 2,300 direct jobs in Phase 1, up to 10,000 long-term
* Production: Cathodes, anodes, modules and all built in Morocco
* Markets: Automotive industry and energy storage systems
What does 20 GWh actually mean?
* 1 GWh = 1 million kWh
* 20 GWh = 20 million kWh That’s roughly the annual electricity consumption of 1.3 million Moroccans, or enough to power 300,000 electric vehicles (EVs) per year. When the plant scales up to 100 GWh, we’re talking about enough batteries to equip 1.5 million EVs every year. This is upstream manufacturing not just assembly. Morocco is producing key components of the global energy transition: EV batteries and energy storage tech. It’s part of a global arms race, and we’re not being left behind.
There’s a reflex in some circles to say “it’s just foreign investment” or “just cheap labor.” But read between the lines:
* Local integration is high
* Production is tied to global markets
* Morocco is inserting itself into future-proof supply chains
* And this project sits right between the Tangier automotive hub and Rabat’s institutional base
