Something Big Is Happening in Morocco, Marrakech 🇲🇦...

This is my third visit to Marrakech, Morocco, and every time I come back, the city feels different. New roads, new developments, construction everywhere, and a growing sense that Marrakech is entering a new chapter. In this video, I explore the city beyond its famous souks and tourist attractions. From staying in Guéliz and experiencing the hospitality of a Moroccan family in the Agafay Desert to meeting travelers whose lives have been transformed by Morocco, this journey eventually led me to one important question: What is the future of Marrakech? To find the answer, I sat down with Kawtar Ait El Haj, a Marrakech native and Pan-African strategist whose work spans more than 20 African countries. Together, we discuss how Marrakech is changing, what's driving its rapid growth, the city's future, investment, tourism, entrepreneurship, and why more people around the world are paying attention to Morocco. If you're interested in Africa's future, Morocco, travel, business, cities, or documentaries that go beyond the surface, this episode is for you. 🌍 Planning a trip?
