| Page Views: 3,197 Last Visit to Tetouan: September, 1998 | The first and... the worst city in Morocco by matcrazy1 - last update: Sep 25, 2006 |
Tétouan was the first city I visited in Morocco, driving there from Ceuta, and it was probably hmm... the worst place I had seen in Morocoo.
My first impressions from Morocco were very bad to be honest. I thought in Tetouan: how could I choose Morocco, what a big mistake haha.
Fortunately moving south day after day Morocco seemed better and finally I found Morocco a very interesting, exciting destination. And I found my Moroccan trip the most interesting holiday I have ever had.

First impressions My first impressions from Tetouan (in early morning time):
1. The main square Place Hassan II was stinking, dirty, full of garbages and wastes (it was early morning and a few Arab men were cleaning the place),
2. Dirty, stinking locally, ugly, neglected medina (old arab city) with all stores closed that time,
3. Strange, dark-skin men in jellabias looked at me with a great interest like at invider from space but without any smile,
4. I couldn't find for a long time any clean place to drink cofee and eat something, I tried to ask natives but nobody could speak English,
5. The town looked grey and sad after a short rain. |

| Pros: | "Sorry, I didn't see any that time, maybe quite good cofee with local "croissant" | | Cons: | "Dirty, stinking, ugly old town" | | In A Nutshell: | "Go there to check how it changed for better since 1998!" |

I think you definitely suffered from culture shock. Entering via Tangiers is a little easier :) | barryg23 Tue Mar 13, 2007 20:53 UTC
Very honest comments, Matt. I'm glad Tetouan is not on our Morocco itinerary. | sayedaburas Tue Feb 20, 2007 14:19 UTC
Each has its advantages and disadvantages. However I appriciate such honesty (~_~) | yumyum Sat Feb 17, 2007 07:41 UTC
Morocco without donkeys is unthinkable! I'm glad that you found some food after all :)) |
