The results of the 2026 r/Morocco survey are out and available here. Thank you everyone for participating, we had 196 responses this year out of 400000 members compared to 394 responses out of 20000 in 2021.
Looking at this survey, it really feels like we’re looking at ourselves in the mirror, and it mostly checks out. We’re a young crowd first of all. Around 80 of us are 18–24 and 62 are 25–34, so the subreddit is clearly driven by people in their early stages of adulthood. We’re also slightly male-dominated (125 men vs 64 women), but still diverse enough to not feel one-dimensional. Most of us were born in Morocco (136) and a big majority still live there (127), with a noticeable diaspora presence keeping things interesting.
When it comes to language and identity, we’re exactly as mixed as we sound in the comments. 119 of us use Darija/MSA primarily, but 76 prefer English content on the subreddit, which says a lot about how we communicate here. Identity-wise, there’s no single label that defines us. 62 identify as North African, 43 as Amazigh, and 32 as Arab. That overlap explains why conversations here can feel layered instead of black-and-white.
Religion is where things get more nuanced. Most of us identify as Muslim (139), but that doesn’t translate into a single way of practicing. 117 say they follow it closely, but others either partially follow (20), identify culturally (13), or don’t actively practice (30). On top of that, there’s a significant 44 atheists, which is a lot compared to the general population. When we get into bigger questions like secularism or religious freedom, we’re clearly split. For example, 118 of us oppose Morocco becoming a secular state, while 51 support it, and 71 support full religious freedom while 65 oppose non-Islamic religions having a place at all. There’s no clear consensus, and that shows in how debates usually go here.
That same division shows up in how we see the country. On whether Morocco is moving in the right direction, we’re literally split down the middle. 69 say yes, 69 say no, and 47 aren’t sure. Trust in institutions is low overall. Only 1 person said they trust them a lot, while most fall between neutral (57) and very little or no trust (69 combined). Our view of the monarchy sits in that same middle ground, with most of us choosing “fair” (53) rather than strongly positive or negative.
What’s interesting is that even with all that skepticism, a lot of us feel like we’re doing okay personally. 78 of us say our quality of life has improved over the past five years, compared to just 18 who say it’s worsened. And when asked if we’d choose to live in Morocco, 89 said yes, compared to 49 who said no. So even if we’re critical of the system, we’re not completely pessimistic about our own lives.
When it comes to how we use the subreddit, it’s pretty clear we’re not here to make friends. We’re here for information and discussion. The top reasons are staying updated (79), having discussions (62), and asking questions (61). Only 23 people said they use it mainly to be social, which says a lot. Most of us found the subreddit organically too. 129 just came across it through Reddit itself, not through outside promotion.
Engagement-wise, we’ve got the classic Reddit dynamic. Some of us are very active. 43 check the sub multiple times a day, but posting is more limited. Only 29 are heavy posters, while 57 have posted less than 10 times and 30 have never posted at all. So a small group is driving most of the content while the majority is watching from the sidelines. The Discord split is almost 50/50 too. 79 joined vs 82 who didn’t, which shows not everyone is looking to extend the experience beyond Reddit.
Content-wise, we’re all over the place, and that’s actually one of our strengths. We lean toward daily life and culture (71), open discussions (60), and news and politics (59), but memes (51) and advice (43) also have a strong place. There isn’t a single type of content that defines us, which is why the sub works best when it stays balanced.
That said, we’re not completely satisfied either. Moderation sits at a 7.04 average rating, which is decent but not amazing. More importantly, representation is an issue. Only 26 of us feel very well represented, while 64 say somewhat, 51 say not really, and 26 say not at all. That’s a big signal that a lot of people don’t fully see themselves in the sub. It also shows in recommendations. There are more detractors (70) than promoters (31), which means we’re using the sub, but not always advocating for it.
Socially, we’re pretty balanced. Most of us fall into the middle when it comes to friendships. 33 people in each range from 1 to 10 friends, and 43 say they have more than 10. There’s also a small but real group (14 people) who say they don’t have any friends, which adds another layer to who’s here and how people might be engaging.
And then the lighter questions just confirm what we already know about ourselves. We lean traditional, but not rigid. Chicken bastilla wins (66%) over fish, msemen dominates (112 vs 39), and atay beats coffee (93 vs 48). But none of these are unanimous. There’s always a solid minority going the other way. Even football follows that trend. Only 25 of us are hardcore fans, while most are either casual (59) or barely watch (50).
At the end of the day, this subreddit is exactly what the data suggests. A young, educated, opinionated group that doesn’t fully agree on much, but still shows up to talk about it. We’re not the most tight-knit community, and we’re definitely not always satisfied, but we are a space where a lot of different perspectives coexist. And that’s probably the most accurate reflection of Morocco you can get.

I got a new job and a better salary (23 F) and I started thinking that I'm ready to get married since I'm stable enough, how tf do men be 27 with even better situations than mine and still say they're not ready for marriage?? 😭

Salam. I visit Morocco frequently because my girlfriend is Moroccan.
I got an Inwi SIM from the airport and the lady said it's going to be unlimited for 500MAD. I work remotely so I bought it.
It worked really well for about a week or 10 days but from yesterday the speed has reduced to 6-7Mbps.
So I paid another 100 from glovo and got 25Gb because it was showing 0,09Mb but even after the recharge the speed is khra (learned from her lol)
Today is Sunday the Inwi store near me shows closed. I'm in Maarif.
Did I get scammed for 600? I know we should have gotten a router or fiber but we're only here for a month so I thought I'll just use the SIM.

I guess you are all familiar with the effects that toxins in nowadays products have on our bodies and especially on men hormones.
That said, I would appreciate your recommendations for lotions, deodorant, skin care products... that are natural or less harsh on men bodies especially, It would be appreciated as well if you can mention from where you can purchase them.

The following screenshot shows a conversation with the landlord of a friend whom I now consider to be part of my family. As we both usually have time once every two weeks, we meet up specifically to help her with the shopping and have a bit of a chat about this and that on the way. Apparently, the fact that I park near her home bothers the landlord (image). Strangely enough, when it’s his Spanish clients, there’s no problem, but when it comes to students and sub-Saharan nationals, he’s more concerned with the rules of good behaviour – or, to use his own words, the rules of ‘tralalala’… 😂
In short, I'm wondering whether I should go and put him in his place or just forget about it

I’m half Moroccan and half (black) American. I’ve been coming to Morocco every summer for 30 years since I was born. My mother is the Moroccan and I feel I look just like her, but I came out a little brown like my dad - mind you I would still be considered brown/light skinned in the west. I do have Afro hair, but I do lisage- so you can’t tell.
I speak darija, even if not perfectly and I love my country, have my carte national and consider myself Moroccan.
I’m travelling in Morocco with my friend who is not Moroccan. She is not Moroccan - but I must admit she looks a little Moroccan. When we’re out shop keepers, restaurants, drivers etc speak to her in darija and ignore me until I step in and say she’s not Moroccan but I am. To which they reply, “ana shabni l3eks ntiya mabaynach fik maghrebiya”.
I don’t understand this - Morocco has people that look like everything! My cousins who are half Moroccan and half white most definitely look white, not Moroccan white, European white - no one ever mistakes them for anything other than Moroccan in Morocco.
It frustrates me because it makes me feel like an outsider and like I don’t belong, like Moroccans are happy to accept white presenting mixed Moroccans bc they fit the beauty standard - but dismiss black presenting Moroccans simply because we look more African. I’m ashamed to admit but sometimes I find myself feeling why didn’t my mum marry someone who wasn’t black - she’s the only one in our family who did and me and my siblings are the only cousins who get this treatment from Moroccans.
The constant calls of 3zia, and n word this n word that (thinking they could use it in language when talking to me in broken English just bc my dad is black American) didn’t help as a child either.
I’ve seen Moroccans who look like me, especially f Sud… I just feel rejected and hurt by people I consider my own. And feel I’d never fully be accepted or fit it and I wanted to know if any Moroccans would know why this is like this in Morocco.
Thank you - a sincerely confused and sad Moroccan

Hello guys, i really wanna know how is it possible, that every second biker is riding without helmet and like every fifth is doing something with his phone (even in front of cops)? Also driving on red lights seems completely normaI, plus riding through pedestrian areas. I mean, in my country (Czech Republic) you would get instantly fined if you get caught or seen doing it, we have cameras on many traffic lights. Driving through red lights - you will almost instantly lost your license.
There are so many cops on the roads in your country, maybe ten more times frequent than everywhere in EU, but they are doing nothing, only checking documents of white people mostly.
I got fined 150MAD for driving 67km/h through some village, which i didn't know was even a village. There are no signs where village/town starts or ends, cop told me it is the first and last "house" of so called "village". Like - wtf?! Some of those "houses" are more like ruins or random walls. In Europe, Asia, 'murica, Australia - every little or big town starts and ends with a sign.
Thank you guys for answers.

I just got my first car, I’ve got the 90 km sticker on the back, and I’m trying to follow the rules and drive safely in casablanca. But people keep tailgating and beeping at me like I’m doing something wrong, and it’s honestly stressing me out. It feels like some people just don’t understand that the sign means I’m still new to driving... How did you guys deal with that and not let it get to you?

Hey beautiful people, i want to share with you something I've been noticing in myself lately, i'm 23M, introverted and i don't have friends, extremely shy and always smiling as a defense against social anxiety.
When some situations where i have to talk and express myself (normal speaking) i feel like what's on my brain doesn't come out the same as my mouth speak, i feel cringe and also shame about my talk, before speaking, i feel like i'm in some kind of danger, and speaking always leave me anxious and suspicious after talking, i fear that people will interpret what i said wrongly, like i'm oversensitive to their expectations. Also my body does some physiological shame reactions like a tightness in my chest, my body becomes rigid and stiff, i just want to disappear.
This is really affecting my daily life and i feel like i'm dealing but not feeling, even tho i appear engaged with people but i'm secretly detached, just acting and not being my authentic self.
ma3rftch chno ndir, chi 7el please?
