In a nutshell
One of the great African cities
136 Reviews We just returned from a phenomenal trip of Marrakesh. Al Moussika was our base to explore the medina and for trips to the coast and to the Atlas mountains. The riyad is a carefully and tastefully restored historical building which offers a quiet retreat after a busy day in the pulsating city. There...
45 Reviews We loved Marjorelle Gardens. Please check out my travelogue for the full story. I enjoyed it because of the vibrant colours, cactus gardens, water lily pond and quaint shady paths. The best way to get there is by horse and carriage....and we caught the hop on hop off bus back. What I didn't know...
45 Reviews The Bahia Palace is located in the medina of Marrakesh near the Jewish quarter. The exact dates of the construction of the palace ae not known but it was completed by 1900. The palace complex was erected in sections additional tracts of land were obtained resulting in a slightly haphazard layout....

112 Reviews Ive been taken here a number of times with my Moroccan family connections , Ive brought friends here and I come here whenever Im in Marrakech on my own - its very popular with locals as it has good food at good prices - and its right here in the main square so its handy to all the action and yet the...
55 Reviews In Djemaa el-Fna, there are heaps of food vendors selling freshly cropped/cooked/caught food. Honestly, I was too chicken to try these delectable molluscs, but other members of our group said they were pretty damn tasty!! Apparently the garlic snails are the way to go.
38 Reviews Well I guess with the Government iniative to push tourism and the drive to increase the number of tourists up into the multi millions mark comes with the increase in commercialism (not just the freeing up of airspace and thus the end of the Government monopoly on airlines and prices) - so the Hop on...
By Taxi / By Petit Taxi / By Grand Taxi
45 Reviews Merci to Adil, the Taxi in Marrakesh agent whom we consulted with to book our excursion to Essaouira. The tour itself was great.The guide showed us some incredible sites and views, and gave us good tips about where to eat and what to see, as we would be doing our own thing later in the evening....
27 Reviews Good buys include fashion accesories, fabrics, spices, natural oils, pottery, and leather goods, especially shoes and slippers. In the souks it's like a market place which specialises in particular produts in one place. It's certainly an experience not to be missed. Shoes and slippers. morrocan...
17 Reviews Moroccan, is now one of my favourite cuisines, with it's tasty tagines, cous cous, etc. Whenever I travel, I usually try to buy spices, a recipe book or other food related objects. On this trip I bought a teracotta tagine (see my off the beaten tracks tips for more details) I'm afraid I haven't...
6 Reviews The traditional Moroccan dress for both men and women is this long hooded garment known as a djellaba. It seems very practical – the body is protected from weather and from the dirt of the street, and the hood can be pulled up to give warmth at the start and end of the day, or shade from the...
9 Reviews When in Marrakesh expect to have to haggle for everything! Some general tips: - Have a maximum price in mind for the item and offer slightly below it. - If they offer you a ridiculously high price (which they often do), offer a ridiculously low price right back. - They will start lowering their...
20 Reviews Moroccan youths seems to make their living convincing you you're lost (even when you're not convinced you are) and then making sure you're on the right track. This routine is then followed by quite aggressive demands for money (no matter much you pay it's always followed by the standard embarrassing...
Water Sellers / Beggars / Intrusive People
20 Reviews André's tips to Marrakesh: DON’T SHOW NERVOUSNESS- even if your knees are shaking. BE EASY GOING- Moroccans are outgoing people, and most of them well intentioned. Keep that in mind and you’ll see that many times even after declining whatever they’re offering, you’ll be greeted with a ”welcome to...
7 Reviews Morocco is a Muslim country, so for ladies: avoid sleeveless tops and overly revealing shorts. Just be conservative in general. Better safe than sorry (or stares)! Cap/visor/sunglasses are recommended even in the winter months of December and January. tTe climate is dry so there're very, very few...
10 Reviews Unlike some tips I'd read before-hand, you don't need to bring toilet paper, they have it here (although in small rolls), it's fine and the the toilets in the hotels are NOT holes in the ground, they are regular, western style toilets. A compass was the most helpful thing I brought to Marrakech,...
Towns /Cities / Sights around Marrakesh
30 Reviews This is a facinating place to visit. It is a few hours by car/bus out of Marrakesh, but included in some day tours. It is an ancient kabash town that is currently being restored. There are some families living in the old town and some of them act as guides. Aït Benhaddou has been a UNESCO World...
21 Reviews The roads that head out towards Asni, Imlil, Ouirgane, Taroudant etc have great views during the winter months of the snowtopped Atlas mountains - much like the views from the roofs around Marrakech looking in that direction, and certain vantage points in the Menara gardens that look in that...
4 Reviews We stayed and did some golfing in the Palmaraie Golf Club, it was quite a good experience with nice views of the green and the surrounding regions. We also pre-booked some tours before we left France, we did both quad biking and horse riding in the palm grove of Marrakech - we highly recommend this...
34 Reviews There are many public toilets in Morocco. They can usually be found near mosques. Most are the squat design but in service stations they have sit down toilets. It is courteous to tip the attendant who keeps the place clean, you should pay for the paper they offer. In Djemaa El Fna there is a public...
7 Reviews The city of Marrakech has many sights and sounds and flavours to it. However the best places to escape all the noise is to head out of the centre about 20 mins outside into the palmaraie or the palm grove of marrakech. The best way to embrace and to enjoy the best views and the scenic location is on...
