Do not get lost!: Map of Morocco
Be careful when driving a car around Morocco. The map had some roads, which were not existing anymore and when we turned to one of such roads, we were lost afterwards. All the people on the way were showing to different directions and always asking money for that.

So, follow only road signs and not what your map might show.

Do not get lost!: Directions
If you get lost in the souks trying to find that particular cafe or one of the many sights nestled within the narrow alleyways and a friendly face offers you directions they will expect to be paid for their kindness.

Keep hold of your coins, they come in handy.

Do not get lost!: Don't waste your time wandering around the Medina
The Medina is a huge maze that only the locals know. Don't waste any of your precious vacation time wandering around lost.

Hire a guide. My daughter and I hired a fantastic guide who took to places most tourists never see. We were never bothered by the beggars because he took care of them. It was an amazingly stress free day. I would recommend Rachid B. to anyone. He spoke wonderful English and gave us a great history lesson. Contact me for his information.

Seriously, if you don't hire Rachid, hire someone to guide you around. It's too difficult to do on your own.

Do not get lost!: Djamaa el Fna food stalls
The food at the food stalls is not specially good and the portions are very small. Some of the restaurants arround the place (The Toukal for example) will give you something better for nearly the half of the price. In my opinion all the square and the souk is a tourist trap.

Visit the square and for the food check the restaurants around it. The souk is OK for a look but avoid to buy since it is not a nice experience.

Do not get lost!: watch out !
The most worthwhile tourist traps are collected inside a rather small zone, starting in the north with the suuqs, continuing through the town square of Jemaa l-Fna with its crowd of storytellers, musicians and the Koutoubia mosque which is visible from practically anywhere in Marrakech
