Basically someone traveling outside Morocco has to deposit it. Whether someone physically carries it to USA and deposits it or travels to Europe and Western Unions it to you is your choice. But those are the only options I've used and I've ... Read More

Isn't the entire purpose of this website to "Share your expat experience!" as stated in the 大咖福利影院 logo? That is exactly what we are doing here--sharing our experiences. This does not cause conflict. What causes conflict is names ... Read More

The school I was referring to is located in Dchierea, and it has a website called "Moroccan School." For some reason when I write it, the administrators change it to ****, but other people can write it with no problem. Read More

STAY AWAY FROM I used to teach there (what a joke) and they are NOT accredited. You will notice they do not fly the Moroccan flag or have a picture of the king in their school. I was a teacher there and they did not even have books or a ... Read More

I do the same. Sometimes if I need to send a lot of money (more than what's in my PayPal) I'll give a big stack of dirhams to someone going to Europe or USA and then have that person Western Union it to the person in America. Read More

PayPal does not work in morocco to send money. If you have a PayPal account here you can only receive money in it. You can't even transfer money within Morocco. It's ridiculous. Read More

Diamonds75, You can get basmati rice at both Carrefour stores in Agadir. It's about 60-75dhs a bag, depending on the brand. The bag that is blue on the outside is very nice. (I forgot the name). Read More

I once was involved with a school that taught all of the same things. The problem is--it shut down. There' s so many schools offering all of that type of programming/web design/app design etc that it's hard to find one that's fully functional. ... Read More

I think your ice cream business will do just fine here! You absolutely do NOT need a Moroccan business partner and you can apply for a business license for around $1,000 USD. The only trouble is getting the truck here. You are probably better off ... Read More

That is totally NOT TRUE. You do not need a Moroccan business partner. And the market is saturated?? HAHAHAH!!! Obviously you know nothing about Morocco. How many hanoots are EXACTLY the same? How many more "Snack Cafes" can possibly be opened? How ... Read More

Another option is to find someone here in Morocco who has a PayPal account. Moroccans cannot open PayPal accounts because of the issue of sending dirhams out of the country, but many Moroccans have found ways around that--especially those who have ... Read More
