Irish TV show explores Morocco's rich culture and heritage in Tangier and Marrakech
Ireland's national channel TG4 dedicated two episodes of its flagship show Téacs Taistil to Morocco, showcasing the country's rich culture, ancient heritage, and openness to the world.
Tangier and Marrakech—two of Morocco's most iconic cities—served as the backdrop for this immersive journey, led by three Irish explorers. The adventure began in Tangier, the gateway between Europe and Africa. From Cap Spartel and the Hercules Caves to the legendary Café Hafa and the city's vibrant murals, the hosts were struck by the Mediterranean charm and cosmopolitan spirit of this coastal city. Notably, this marked the first time the show was filmed outside Europe.
Aboard the Al Boraq high-speed train, the travelers continued on to Marrakech. In the lively medina, among colorful souks filled with the scent of spices and traditional crafts, they connected with locals, took part in workshops, and explored the many layers of Moroccan culture.
Filmed entirely in Morocco and broadcast in Gaelic, the two episodes offered Irish viewers a unique window into a Kingdom deeply rooted in tradition yet firmly looking to the future. Through the explorers' curious eyes, Téacs Taistil painted a vivid portrait of a welcoming, diverse, and profoundly human Morocco.
