Top Tips

Pre-book your tour through to the Atlas Mountains before you go to get the best price

​

BARTER, BARTER, BARTER everywhere you go, street stalls and markets especially

​

Make sure you try the green tea, it will put to shame any you have had before

​

I would not hire a car in Marrakech, they are the scariest roads I have ever seen and I've been to Rome so that is saying something

​

Find an open view and wait for the sunset, it is worth it

​

Only 18% of Moroccans speak English so booking English-speaking tour guides is a good idea

Good to know

The culture in Marrakech is very different to the UK so be aware and vigilant, especially if you are a woman.

​

It is recommended for women to cover up, from their shoulders to ankles.

​

The currency in Marrakech, Morocco is Moroccan Dirham.

​

In reality, the best time to visit is all year round due to tropical climate.

​

Avoid the tap water at all costs, buy bottled water even for brushing your teeth.

​

Marrakech can be considered an inexpensive destination to visit, of course some hotels will be expensive but overall you will need little spending money
