Marrakech (Morocco) Reviews

I wanted to find somewhere a bit different to go on holiday this year and Marrakech certainly did not disappoint. I felt like my eyes were popping out of my head for the majority of our stay but I never felt like it was too much of a culture shock (maybe because I had read a lot about it before going) Getting there Ryanair and ...  Read the complete review

I decided this summer to go on a proper holiday somewhere as I hadn't had a real break for a long while. I didn't have a location in mind and through various twists and turns I have recently returned from a relaxing, although very hot, week in Marrakech (for a very reasonable price). I will share some of my experiences in that city in the hope ...  Read the complete review

Marrakech has always been high up on my list of places to visit, so earlier this year I packed my bags and set off with a friend to explore the city. We flew with easyjet from London Gatwick to Marrakech Menara airport, convinently located around 15 minutes taxi ride from central Marrakech. Morrocco has a closed currency system ...  Read the complete review

I went to Marrakech in Morocco as part of my trecking holiday. Having flown in to the Marrakech airport from Gatwick I noticed a sudden change in temperatures! When I went there I found that whilst it was very hot, being around the 30 degrees to 40 degrees mark it wasn't humid so it didn't really feel as hot as it was. Marrakech is definately one ...  Read the complete review

It's your first morning in Marrakech. You're sitting at a café in the Djemaa el Fna, soaking up the sunshine and the atmosphere while you plan your sight-seeing.

It's ...  Read the complete review

I'm afraid to say that my feelings about Marrakech are not, as most of the reviews I read, that positive. I have wanted to visit Morocco for many years - thanks to films such as Hideous Kinky, travel literature and a fondness for Morrocan lamps! In April I took a week's holiday to Marrakech with my partner, choosing to stay in a traditional Riad ...  Read the complete review

I travelled to Marrakech in November 2007 and all I can say is that it is definitley a country worth visiting! HOTEL: We stayed at the Hivernage Hotel and Spa which is a 5 star. If you want to be treated like royalty then this is the place to be. It is authentic and has a morrocan feel yet it is contemporary and modern. ...  Read the complete review

Marrakech has the largest traditional market (souk) in Morocco, and also one of the busies squares in Africa and the world (Djemaa el Fna).

Marrakech is an interesting city, so close to Europe and yet so different in many ways. The contrast is particularly evident in the Medina, the old walled city, where motorbikes, donkeys and carts and cars jostle for right of way on the narrow dirty streets. I have just returned from a few days staying in the Medina. Getting ...  Read the complete review
