MBA class doing international trip to Morocco. Is there anything to see here?

Are you kidding? Morocco has incredible medieval cities, ancient markets, the Atlas mountains, and the Sahara. I almost booked a trip there for February, but I ended up deciding to go to Argentina instead. Man, I want to go to Morocco, though.

Well, there’s a whole hell of a lot more to see and do than there is in College Station. That’s for damn sure.

You’re an MBA student asking this question? Holy frick you must be cheating your way through your program.

I spent a week in Morocco. The locals were not friendly. I don’t like lamb, and that’s 90% of their diet. The open markets were a place for shop owners and children to beg and tell you to leave their country. I bought a $3000 rug, and was yelled at for not spending more.

We appreciate traveling abroad. We even like boarder towns in Mexico, except Progresso. There are plenty of wonderful places in this world. Morocco just isn’t one of them for me.

I’m sorry you had that experience. I traveled as a solo female, so I didn’t leave the resort without a guide and/or driver. I would not have gone to the main square alone- there are scores of unemployed, angry young men who see Western woman as whores/chattel. The monarch, however, loves his tourist revenue, and low class locals are banned from many places (including the hotel with the best gardens). It’s pretty cool. Just resort it unless you’re on a Viator tour and you’ll have a great time. I stayed at the Le Meridien- the food was amazing, but the pool closed a bit early for my preference.

See if you can open a bank account there. U.S. has no extradition treaty with Morocco. Be a nice place to go if we have some kind of coup in the next 30 years and you get labeled as a traitor. U.S. government couldn't freeze any assets you have there.
