A warm welcome to our hijrah to Morocco blog!

As-salaamu’alaykum,

Khawla here, and I’m the founder and author behind Hijrah to Morocco.

I understand the struggle and anxiety of moving to a totally new country.

After all, it’s a different language, a different culture and just different from what you’re used to.

Through this website, I’m hoping to make it easier for you and your family to move and settle in Morocco, insha’Allah.

The Ultimate Tetouan Expat Guide

The “I wish someone told me this sooner” guide for settling in Tetouan, written in real-life detail, organised and collected for your leaisure.

  • Areas to live + what they’re actually like
  • Schools, taxis, errands, bills, internet, gas… the lot
  • How to settle smoother and faster (and avoid the common “new expat” headaches)

Best for individuals and families who are planning to move soon and want knowledge and lived experience on the everyday bits.

THERE are just certain things I rather share exclusively with serious like-minded individuals who are on it for the LONG haul.

Could that be you?
