Bumping over a year later!
Beatrice, if it's not too much trouble, could you check with your friend for me regarding things to do/see in that area? We've already booked so no turning back at this point.
If any body else has been and has any tips I'd love to hear them.

If you PM me .. I will tell you what I know!

marrakech was good,
try to find a traditional riad to stay in, imo, you get a better value for your money,
also depending on what you want to do be weary that there are no standard taxi tariffs so the possibility of being charged an exorbitant fee for for a cab ride are high.
the markets, although nice are tough to navigate, everyone wants you to purchase their wares and will charge you an arm and a leg just for being a tourist also, be weary when you pull money out to pay for goods.
harassment isnt even the word to describe the experience we had at the market.
you'll need to keep bottled water with you at all times too.
its a lovely place though.
and you def should check out trip advisor

Thanks for the tips guys! I wish I had done better on keeping up with this post. Afro and Printer, I've sent you both PMs. If you could let me know if either of you could suggest a good English speaking guide to take us through the Medina. Read some scary things on triapadvisor-such as monkeys and snakes being thrown at people. I was really looking forward to enjoying the square. Am thinking it'll be easier with a local taking us about. TIA guys. We leave tomorrow morning!

My friend once told me to be careful of how you dress while there.
