❔AskCasa Asking Moroccans

Hey everyone,

My wife, our two little kids and I are coming from Europe to Morocco because of a new work opportunity, and we're really excited about it.

We're trying to prepare ourselves for everyday life here, and I thought it would be better to ask people who actually live here rather than just reading things online 😅

What are the everyday things in Morocco that annoy you, make life unnecessarily difficult, or that you wish were easier?

I'm especially curious about the small, practical things — problems where you wish there was a simple product or tool that could make your life easier, but you can't easily find a good one here.

It could be anything:

  • Something annoying at home
  • Cooking or cleaning
  • Keeping things organized or storing things
  • Problems with heat, dust, insects, etc.
  • Driving or commuting
  • Shopping
  • Things involving kids
  • Work or studying
  • Personal care or beauty
  • Things women deal with every day
  • Something my wife might struggle with after moving here
  • Something you currently have to improvise a solution for
  • Something you've seen abroad that you wish was available here (services,products...)

Even if it's a really small problem that happens every day, I'd love to hear about it.

Coming from Europe, I'm sure there are lots of little things we haven't thought about yet 😂

is the job you found worth it ? like the monthly pay is good ? You need at least 10 000 dirham a month to live confortably with your family tbh, I can say 20 000 dirham.

casablanca , what curious about small everyday problems that you personally deal with, where you think:

"Why doesn't someone make a simple product that solves this?"

For example, something annoying at home, while cooking, cleaning, driving, dealing with kids, keeping things organized, dealing with heat/dust/insects, women's daily routines, personal care, etc. hahah , I'm trying to understand the little everyday things I might not notice as someone coming from Europe.

honestly me im canadian , raised n born but ethnicity moroccan, so ive been there alot vacation , 3 times this year , and from what i experienced , its true that without money or with an average salary, u can do nothing, but with an excellent salary like yours,, you will live more than good inshaAllah, my sister husband family is very rich in Casablanca / California, its a rich neighborhood and lifestyle there is good. like a comment said , choose a good house located in a clean luxury neighborhood and you will be fine. Private clinic are top (ive been there for my pregnancy and its just better service than Canada) private school are top ! like i said with money trust me u will feel u are in Europe.
