In this episode of House Hunters International, a family of five from the United States is moving to Marrakesh, Morocco. The parents, Fadel and Clare, are originally from Morocco but have been living in the U.S. for years. They want to move back to their home country to be closer to family and to give their children a chance to experience their heritage and learn Arabic.
The episode begins with the family discussing their goals for the move. They want a house that is big enough for everyone and has a lot of outdoor space for the kids to play. They also want to be close to a good school and to live in a safe neighborhood.
The family's real estate agent, Youssef, takes them to several different neighborhoods in Marrakesh to look at houses. The first house they look at is a large villa with a big backyard and a pool. The house has a lot of space, but Fadel and Clare are concerned about the location. They feel that the neighborhood is too far from the center of town and the schools that they are interested in.
The next house they look at is a traditional Moroccan riad. The riad has a lot of character and charm, with a beautiful courtyard and lots of intricate tile work. However, the house is quite small, and the family is worried that they won't have enough space. Additionally, the neighborhood is still quite far from the center of town.
The third house they look at is a modern villa with a big yard and a pool. The house is much bigger than the riad and is located in a gated community that has a lot of amenities. The family likes the house a lot and feels that it would be a good fit for them. However, the price is higher than what they had originally planned to spend.
After looking at all three houses, Fadel and Clare are still undecided. They talk to Youssef about their options and decide to continue looking for a house that meets their needs. They end up finding a beautiful villa that is located closer to the city center and to the schools that they are interested in. The house has a lot of space and a big backyard, and the family feels that it meets all of their needs.
Overall, this episode of House Hunters International is an interesting look at what it's like to move to another country with a family. The family's concerns about finding the right location and school are relatable, and it's fascinating to see the different types of homes in Marrakesh. Whether you're interested in moving to Marrakesh yourself or just want to learn more about the city, this episode is definitely worth watching.
