It's like a vicious cycle - they don't have many tourists after the Arab Spring, so the few that come are harassed, and then they get annoyed or scared and never come back, and they tell their friends about it. <br /><br />I initially quite liked the country and its people, especially since women have a better standing than in the neighboring countries, but that constant harassment has just drained on me and now I don't even leave the hotel unless I'm with one of my customers. Which is too bad because it's a beautiful country with a lot to see (if you ever do go back, avoid Casa - it's worse than Agadir au niveau du tourism, it's almost 100% a business-only city).Ksamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991667611234163617noreply@blogger.com
