Anyone Been to Marrakech?

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

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!

I just replied to your PM.

The Fez Medina was wonderfulllll. You must visit. But again.. as a female - it's important that you are will a man while in ths country.

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