Hotels near Marrakech-Menara Airport - RAK, Marrakech

Very hectic experience particularly in the souks.Somewhat dangerous with the number of motorbikes ans scooters etc competing with the crowds.No cars in the medina so a fairly long walk to get to and from a taxi.The driving is absolutely crazy so would definitely advise against self drive car hire Taxis plentiful and cheap.Would advise getting a guide to show you around. Wonderful palaces and places of interest.Many good restaurants but not particularly cheap.Favourite bar selling alcohol was the Cafe Arabe. Must see "Moumania Hotel" .Dissapointing "Menara Gardens" Good dinner show "Dar es Salam "restaurant

Our 9th trip to Marrakech....we love Morocco. You will either love or hate...no in-between. It's crazy..hectic..noisy.. but absolutely fascinating and definitely worth a visit. Must sees.... The souks...always haggle. Start at 50% of their asking price..walk off if not happy..9 times out of ten they will run after you with better price. Majorelle gardens...book ahead for as early as possible as it gets very very busy. Stunning oasis abd very peaceful Secret garden...bit of calm within the madness. Jewish quarter and cemetery well worth a visit. Downside... so many stray cats...please..bring treats with you and help these animals. Please do not go on a caleche...poor horses are forced to stand for hours in boiling heat and forced to run around all day. I saw a horse collapse due to heat exhaustion..awful to see. Please do not help towards this cruelty. Same with monkeys and snakes in main square. Beware of henna ladies..they will grab your arm and paint henna then demand ridiculous large amount of money and get very aggressive. Don't make eye contact. If you want a henna.. go to henna cafe. I highly recommend a quad bike trip to desert...Great fun!

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.

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 :))

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.

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).
