Some childhood memories are universal, but in Morocco, they come with their own special flavor.
Marrakech – If you grew up here, chances are these moments were part of your daily adventures.
Can you relate?
“Awili! I forgot the bread!”
Your mom sends you to buy bread, but on the way, your friends call you over for a quick game of football or hide-and-seek.
Next thing you know, time has flown, and you’re sprinting in panic.
The secret mission
Grandma or grandpa calls you over, slips a coin into your hand, and whispers, “Shhh, don’t tell anyone.”
You nod solemnly, feeling like a spy on a top-secret operation — until your siblings catch on and demand their share.
The MAD 1 budget strategy
With just one dirham in hand, you suddenly transform into an economist.
Half goes to a Flipo, the other half to five colorful, sugary candies.
It’s a tight budget, but with maximum satisfaction.
The olives ritual
It’s an unspoken tradition — one olive for you, one for your mom.
Whether you’re at the souk with your parents or just tagging along, that little salty treat is part of the experience.
The rooftop water balloon battle
Filling up balloons, staking out your position, and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
The thrill of watching a friend (or an unlucky passerby) get drenched was unmatched — until your mom caught you.
Rooftop sleepovers
You and your cousins promise to stay up all night, whispering under the stars.
But reality hits — 30 minutes in, half of you are already snoring, leaving the rest struggling to stay awake.
Morocco — We love you
Some things never change, and Moroccan childhood memories are proof of that.
Which one hit you with the most nostalgia?
