Hi I am a season worker and have just moved to Marrakech a month ago and find it is the hardest country I have lived in to make friends.
What do other people do?
Is there a place that English people hang out?
Help my social life is non existent.....

Network with them:

Select nationalities - English

/en/network/africa 鈥� marrakech/

Add them to contact/send them a message, and arrange something with them! They are probably looking for the same thing!

Hi,

I am coming to Marrakech for a month on the 6th July, I was thinking the same thing, have you met many English people while you are out there? How are you finding the place to live?

I work for Thompson so I live in a hotel... I haven't met any English people living here... And it's hard to make friends with the locals...

There is an English pub quiz at 'Cafe de Livre' every Monday - check that out

you might also contact the BBG to ask about their next social event: britishbusinessgroupmarrakech.com/

Might be an obvious answer but what's the Facebook page name? Looking to network with others too.

Im shocked you have found it so hard.moroccans are very friendly and love meeting new cultures especially English people. Surely working in a hotel gives you access to lots of potential friends?聽 I think you just have to put in extra leg work ...make yourself available, swap phone numbers etc.

If you speak French then you're 99% of the way there.i don't unfortunately but it still hasn't stopped me meeting people .

Are you looking to mix or looking for a familiar face ie fellow expats?
