Generally when buying things from vendors where the prices aren't fixed you can haggle them down to about 50% of the asking price. It certainly helps to learn a handful of Moroccan words to prove that you didn't just get off the plane. ... Read More
Dowry? by robertflores81
I am going to marry a Moroccan girl next year and one of the problems is finding any information on what an acceptable dowry would be. I have asked my fiance what would be an acceptable dowry and she said that she does not know and when I asked if ...
