Hotels near Marrakech-Menara Airport - RAK, Marrakech

Chaotic- vibrant- noisy Medina. You find artistic expression on every lane. The smells- the crowds are a part of the experience! The beauty is in the land - the people and the arts. Kindness abounds and of course little kids wanting to show you the way… for a price!

Marrakech is culturally very different from what we usually experience in Europe (where I’m from), but overall, it’s a truly positive and enriching experience. The city has so many wonderful places that are worth visiting and taking the time to appreciate, especially for the incredible level of detail in their design and craftsmanship (Ben Youssef Madrasa, Le Jardin Secret, Jardin Majorelle, and an afternoon and dinner in the desert). Marrakech also offers amazing restaurants, with some real hidden gems where it feels like stepping into another world (Le Jardin or limoni). For those who enjoy trying authentic local cuisine, which we always make a point of doing when we travel, we highly recommend Dar L’Hssira — the food there was absolutely delicious and genuinely traditional. And one of the things we loved the most is that in almost any café, you can order freshly made fruit or vegetable juices, which are absolutely divine, flavorful, and perfect for the warm Marrakech days.

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 :))
