Hotels near Marrakech-Menara Airport - RAK, Marrakech

The Raid was great, the market was very busy not made better by motor bikes going up and down the small alleys. The souk was a scam and would not recommend, felt very intimidated by pushy sales man and insecure not a place to visit on your own. The food was hit and miss but over all good for the price. The tours where good as was the quad bikes and camel ride. Over all it was a good experience, come with a open mind but be vigil when in the market it is so easy to get lost. look for markers so you can work out your route. Always barter and have fun

It was our first trip to Marrakech and for the first 2 days it felt like full on assault of the senses. So busy. The sights, colours, smells, food, heat, sounds and hustle and bustle of it. It felt really jarring to begin with.. but once we settled in it was such a fantastic place to enjoy. Beware of people taking you to the Berber market or the tannery- Avoid, it's a scam. Use getyourguide for some really excellent experiences- Hot air balloon, camel rides, cookery classes. Beware of city tours that involove a visit to the local herbalist store.. it looks great but it's overpriced! At first you have no idea the worth or price of things, we used the Ensemble Artisanal where they have set prices. It gives you an idea of the general prices of things before you start your own bargaining. Look at loads of things before buying.. the quality varies massively! and dont forget to just walk away if someone quoted too high, its all part of the experience but it can get very wareing after a while

I travelled solo, I am a 39year old female from Ireland. Yes I was nervous, but I never had any issues-everyone I met was very friendly and helpful. I even ended up having lunch with a local lady who is moving back from France, we had alot in common and she ended up showing me real Morocco for the weekend, and we will now be friends for life. I am so lucky and grateful I had such a wonderful experience.

Marrakech can feel chaotic at first, especially in the old town where you meet all kinds of street vendors and the usual small hustlers. But overall, both the city and the medina felt safe and surprisingly welcoming. The city goes quiet around midnight, which is great if you’re not into loud nightlife or drinking. There’s no special attitude toward non-locals — tourists are treated with calculated respect, and even the hustlers try to avoid real trouble. Reputation matters here. The city is alive, real, and not pretending to be something it isn’t. It’s tourist-oriented, but locals actually live and work here, so you can fully experience Moroccan culture. The best food we had was fish — all the fancy spots failed to impress, while local places were the winners. We even took home a tea set after falling in love with their tea culture. There’s plenty of trade, sometimes with confusing prices, and transport is the only thing that can really stress you out. If you rent a car, get full coverage — no question about it.

A beautiful vibrant city full of life. We loved the local cuisine and especially msemmen - the pancakes. The Jemaa el-Fna square is full of people throughout the whole day. Music, dancing, performances... The fresh juices are a must.

Marrakesh is an assist on the senses . The Jewish centre is amazing for herbalists and spices ,full of life and colour ,genuine local people ,not pushy and happy to see you . Shop there for oils,coffee ,spices as much cheaper and they grind them up in front of you ,amazing . The medina is something to behold but the noise levels are off the scale and to much after awhile . It’s expensive and they’re quite rude in the stores if you want to haggle the prices down and will literally tell you to get out if they don’t like your offer … very rude That aside explore the city away from the centre because it’s a cultural explosion
