Marrakesh
Newest Review: ... on the negative side, I think you miss a bit on the 100% real Morocco, because Marrakesh remains or is a city geared towards tourism. We were there in April, which in my view is a great time to visit. Marrakesh is not far from the Atlas mountains and we could still some snow there. The main attraction is clearly the large Djema square, which is a market during the day, and at night you have all sort of activities, from people selling food to snake charmers. Surely Marrakesh is a great city to visit. I will post more on the other cities we visited later (we did not use the return flight and travelled all our way back to Europe!!)... more |

I had a great adventure trip in Morocco 2 years ago. We flew with my partner into Marrakesh with a charter flight and had accomodation booked for 4 days and 3 nights. Arriving in Morocco and going straight to Marrakesh is good and bad at the same time.

However, on the negative side, I think you miss a bit on the 100% real Morocco, because Marrakesh remains or is a city geared towards tourism.

I have always dreamed of exploring the souqs of Marrakesh. It comes from watching too many movies as a kid, I am sure. As with almost every place we have been, Marrakesh is nothing like we imagined! Modern buildings, wide, clean streets, cafes on every corner, saucy young girls dressed in chic little outfits saché down the street. The Ville Nouvelle would be at home in any european city. You would never believe you are in Morocco save the searing heat. Tourism has done this place well. Cafe culture is indeed alive and well. Every day, from 12noon to 4pm, the city shuts down due to the oppresive heat. People go home for ...

Marrakesh was the wonderful start to our honeymoon in 1994. We only had a few days there, but could easily have stretched it to a few weeks. In particular, we could have spent so much more time exploring the huge souk. As it is we went back twice. It is a total culture shock for someone like me who is used to holidaying in the UK or France. I didn't like having to barter for everything, however some cultural differences worked to my advantage - I soon found that if someone tried to get me to buy something, I could tell them to talk to my husband and they would immediately leave me alone and pester him! They seemed to accept that my husband would make my ...
