One’s homeland is priceless

In light of what is being circulated on social media about the alleged price increases facing the Moroccan community living abroad during their visits to Morocco, I conducted field research to verify the truth of these impressions.

The beginning involved asking several families coming from abroad about their experiences since crossing into their homeland. The unanimous response was: “The crossing was top-notch.” They confirmed that their travel between cities, through various checkpoints, was entirely smooth and without any complications or exhausting inquiries, thanks to the good condition of the roads, which made their journey within Morocco more comfortable and safe.

In a meeting with a family of four, I asked them to estimate their daily expenses for food, drink, and sitting in cafes. The response was surprising: prices were reasonable and much lower compared to where they live abroad. They clarified that it depends on personal choices; those who go to expensive places know in advance that the high prices are related to the quality of services, location, or specific privileges.

The interviewed families affirmed that Morocco has witnessed significant positive changes in recent years, especially in terms of security, praising the heavy security presence and the proximity policy that has enhanced the feeling of safety for both citizens and residents. They noted that this feature is not even available in major European countries.

Many members of the community believe that progress in Morocco is not limited to security but also includes social and economic aspects, reflecting a promising developmental trajectory that enhances belonging and pride in the homeland.


The Moroccan spices and fragrances

Spices were first brought to Morocco by the Arabs ,who were ideally placed route between east and west to become the middlemen to this fierecely contested trade.Other spices came with the caravans trading across the Sahara from Senegal.

Spices were used in Europe to enloven the porridges ,and often to disguise the nature of meat which was frequently heavily salted and less than fresh .Moroccan court chiefs ,like those in Europe and the near East ,experimented with the use of spices in their cuisine,reworking native dishes,as well as introducing dishes from the kitchens of Persia.The result was a magnificiently fragrant array of dishes that were at their most elaborate court banquets but also adapted in tagines ,couscous and sweet dishes of the poeple.
