This is the Morocco you have dreamed about! - Image Credit BilbyandBear
As Ranked by BilbyandBear
Destination: Marrakech, Morocco
Interesting website for the city: VisitMorocco.com
Is it easy to navigate around? Not easy. It is a large sprawling city so you will rely on taxi's. Within the popular medina where tourists flock is a maze of pedestrian streets and this will test the best of travelers. 0
Hostels and Hotels (few, many, tons): Heaps of both. This also includes Riads, a large home, often with many rooms that has a beautiful courtyard in the middle. 2
Best part of the city? The setting of the city is exotic. Orange hues, palm trees, donkeys, hooded locals, snakes and monkeys working together to get your photograph (and money), perfect blue skies and an African sunset onto the mountain ranges.
