The Raid was great, the market was very busy not made better by motor bikes going up and down the small alleys. The souk was a scam and would not recommend, felt very intimidated by pushy sales man and insecure not a place to visit on your own. The food was hit and miss but over all good for the price. The tours where good as was the quad bikes and camel ride. Over all it was a good experience, come with a open mind but be vigil when in the market it is so easy to get lost. look for markers so you can work out your route. Always barter and have fun

Don’t buy from the souks nearest to the Jamaa el Fna, they are extortionate prices, also quite a lot of hard sell. Walk further away where prices and haggling are more fair for both buyer and seller. Same with the restaurants, we found the further away from Jemaa, the better value and quality food available. Go to palaces and Ben Youssef etc as early as possible before the crowds build up. Good day trip out to the Atlas Mountains, worth doing if you like hiking a bit and wear good footwear.

A beautiful city. Personally I found it a bit too hectic and busy after a few days, but definitely a site worth visiting, culturally speaking. Prices vary enormously between local canteens and tourist-focused restaurants. If you are on a budget and want to drink wine, check prices carefully before you order as wine can easily cost twice the amount of the food. Shorts and sleeveless shirts were more common than I had anticipated, even during November, which is a sign of tolerance. I found the locals very respectful and accommodating of tourists. Please respect their culture though! (I saw a very small number of tourist a bit too provoking and slightly out of tune with the general behaviour, but that was a very small minority).

Marrakesh has become too touristic, too crowded, too commercial. The numerous young men and boys trying to help, offer services or try to sell you something irritate. The city as a tourist attraction is over the top. Better choice one or more of the other historical cities in Marrocco to visit.

Don't believe in people telling you everyone will scam you there....people in Morocco are the friendliest and honest people ever. And not a single person approached us by their own...never :) Very rich in history and safe, if you take normal precautions as everywhere. Please respect the local culture also. I think if you don't wear very fleshy and expensive things and wear appropriate clothing, it's better to always blend in a bit :))

Beautiful city, great food, people were kind , helpful and no attitude. A must see and experience Marrakech at least once. I would go back again. It was easy to go around .we went to all the tourist areas and ate in so many different places all excellent . We also had food tour which was very good.
