One would assume that one can, as there are Moroccan Jews and Moroccan Christians and they can marry. Your question might better be asked: "Can 2 foreign, non-Muslims get married in Morocco?" Also, the bureaucracy will drive you CRAZY! ... Read More

Hi, Assalamu alaikum I am a muslimah from Pakistan belong to a stable educated family. I like a guy who lives in a small city of morroco, now we both want to marry. He told me he is a baccalaureate, belongs to a very poor family and he is jobless ...
Forget it and move on. Do your PhD. If you do NOT speak Arabic AND French, your job prospects in Morocco will be very limited, if not non-existent. More than likely, this guy wants a way out of poverty, and you are his ticket, nothing more. ... Read More

So much for Critical Thinking. If Allah is omniscient, omnipotent, & omnipresent, then Allah is guiding my hand as I write this. Nothing happens that is not the Will Of Allah, this includes my posts. :-) Read More

Yes, I agree with laduqesa's post. I disagree with Gold87: Islam is NOT monolithic, there are millions of variations of Islam/Muslim thought. The idea that "my Islamic beliefs are the 'real' Islam and all others are infidels only leads to ... Read More

I did not have to go before any police or to answer any questions regarding my knowledge of Islam or circumcision. We did NOT have to bribe any officials. I did have to say the Shahada in Arabic (I had it written out phonically in Roman script, ... Read More

My Moroccan wife and I (USA) went through this. A Moroccan/Muslim man can marry a non-Muslim woman as the children's religion follows the man, but not vis-versa = your/my case as the religion would follow the non-Muslim man. With the new ... Read More

One applies for a pardon from the jurisdiction where the crime was prosecuted. I assume that a state pardon for a state crime is easier to get than a Federal pardon for a federal crime. Also, there is often a time requirement (years) of "good ... Read More

I know of a Canadian man who had a criminal record, but who had a pardon so that he could get a 'clean' police record from Canada. So maybe you'll want to see if you qualify for a pardon. Also, FYI (and you may know this) a Moroccan Female can ... Read More
The other side of the Moroccan postcard by Julien
Hi, As a tourist in a foreign country, very often, we are enchanted with what we discover. Living abroad is different. It's a rich experience but there are also some difficulties to face. When people ask me for advice on living abroad, I ...
Yes, One usually does not like to talk about the down side of traveling/living/working overseas. While most would agree that an overseas experience is a great experience, many will have horror stories. In Morocco, the worst is dealing with the ... Read More

I have imported a camper-van under the Moroccan 6 months duty-free provision. Has anyone found a way to extend this 6 month time period? I'd like to extend it at least 4 more months to get me to next summer when I'll export the van. Thanks. ...
I've come into Morocco by ferry several times in the last year and I have never been asked for a Driver's License. IMHO one would be foolish to drive without a valid driver's license! Read More

OK, this was our experience: I had to get vehicle insurance to drive a foreign vehicle in Morocco, as my Int'l insurance had expired. I bought only 10 days. I bought vehicle insurance to be able to drive my Canadian van into Europe (Ceuta). I ... Read More
