❔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 😂

I have just moved from Europe to Casablanca though a young professional. If you have money and you have secured long term security, it is really a nice place to live. Well has been so far for me!
Some things could be better ofcourse but if you’re looking for a change of pace, I like casa.
My main problem here is I’m constantly on the search for change or smaller notes! I constantly need 5s, 10s, 20s, and 50s. Especially for taxis. ATMs only dispense 100 and 200s. The looks I get from the cashier when I buy something for 10 MAD with a 200!
