About Marrakech, Morocco
Marrakech blends the energy of the medina, souks, interior courtyards, gardens and riads with a strong hospitality tradition. Staying inside the medina feels very different from choosing a calmer base outside its narrow streets.
Agree prices before accepting services, check the exact location of your accommodation and book guides or excursions with operators that clearly explain what is included and what costs extra.
