From HumanBeingCurious.com:
“This is a two-part video and one part audio series about the trip we took this spring to Morocco
Parts 1 & 2 will be a video documentation of our journey, and part 3 will be an audio podcast of Steph and I discussing what we learned about Morocco.
Please be aware that when we created this video, it was merely for personal purposes. We hadn’t quite thought of the idea to create Human Being Curious at the time we went to Morocco, so keep in mind that this video is not what you should ideally expect to see from us when we travel somewhere ”

This is not a typically Arabic realia but it is so innocently humorous -I will be really surprised if you don’t laugh!
I found it in an Arabic video-sharing site with some interesting comments in Arabic.
To learn some Arabic dialect, read the following comments left by users of the Arabic Online community Maktoob.
The video was titled : a hearty laugh by quadruple (i.e. four) twins
Comments:

These pictures were taken in Ifrane city (nicknamed Little Switzerland) which is a town and ski resort in the Middle Atlas region of Morocco.
I have been to this city as a Scout boy when I was around 13 and I loved it – the white snow – though shocking to find in a Mediterranean country was a lot of fun for me and my friends!
If you happen to visit Ifrane, what you’ll notice about the city is that the streets are very clean, nearly free of crime, and probably the best city in northern Africa . It is only half an hour drive away from the famous city of Fez.
It was founded by the French in 1929 and is probably one of the cleanest cities in Morocco.
Ifrane is located in the heart of a region of Morocco known for its beautiful forests, lakes, mountains, and waterfalls.
Al Akhawayn University, an English speaking private university, which follows an American-curriculum, opened its doors for study in 1995. This helped re-launch Ifrane as a desirable destination for domestic tourism. Consequently, Ifrane continues to develop as both a summer and winter resort.
