Morocco or Turkey

I am considering going to spend Eid there as part of my holiday. Also I’d like to explore culturally what it’s like. I’ve always said to myself I’m open to committing down in the long term to someone outside of my culture and I’d love to marry someone that’s from either of these heritages. Does anyone have any personal experience of what it’s like in either or both, best places or part to go for tourism and food and drink.

Thank you :smile:

Marrakech is nice if you like culture.
It is also pretty cheap.
I have been to Istanbul also, beautiful mosques but more expensive than Marrakech.

Well budget will be considered. And yeah part of the holiday will be to explore Moroccan Culture. Istanbul maybe a trip for the summer perhaps. As I explore both options/cultures. What’s the food like? And tourism spots/attractions like please as for a cultural perspective what is there to be understood, learnt and seen.

I hope to one day marry someone either from Morocco or Turkey. The purpose of my visit will be to explore culture, learn and understand it. See landmarks and famous spots. I’d love to learn first. But I always wanted to marry outside of my culture and either Moroccan or Turkish would be amazing.

And you still need help ro decide which country as first to visit. If you have any skills in Arabian (Morocco) or Turkish language, the choice gets easier.

Oh great thank you for the tip :smile:
I haven't been to Morocco but Turkey is incredible. Beautiful scenery, friendly people, and if you love ancient history it's amazing, particularly in places like Ephesus and Pamukkale / Hierapolis.

And Hagia Sophia, the church in Istanbul. But to be honest this building looks ugly from outside. This is at least my perception.

I haven't been to Antalya. I've stayed in Marmaris several times which is stunningly beautiful, and from there I've visited Turunc, Mugla, Ephesus, and Pamukkale / Hierapolis.
