    gotta agree with this, really worth staying in a riad if you've not been before

    and make sure you eat in jemaa el-fna. turn up once all the stalls are set up in the evening, walk around and find something that you like the look of, no need to plan in advance. you're going to get good food wherever you choose

    Wanted La Sultana when I was booking but full. Ended up in Riad Kniza. Really nice and food was excellent

    Look out for aggressive locals who want to show you where to go and who get nasty when you say no thanks. Ten years ago we at stayed in Riad Kniza - palatial

    Not Marrakech but Agader we stayed at a great hotel.
    But outside of our hotel was like going back in time.
    Child prostitutes being offered despite the fact k was with my wife.
    Drug sellers on every street corner.
    My advice is just be careful and don't venture to far from where you are staying

    Marrakech can be full on. Get a Riad in the centre. If you get hassled just keep walking. Don't forget to smile, it gets you a long way and for gods sake don't be a cheapskate haggling for 50p off everything thinking it's how the locals do it...you bargain for proper things like carpets. Don't pay anyone to be your guide, unless you want a guide.

    DO...NOT...ACCEPT..OFFERS..TO..SELL..YOU...DOPE!

    I’ve done plenty of dodgy places in Asia but I thought Marrakesh was well dodgy. Rip offs and generally dodginess abound but many like it. Not for me.

    Great place. I love it there.
    Just remember - “no public displays of affection” and you will have great time.
    I recommend a visit to Sinatra’s club.

    My vote goes for a riad in the Medina too - but away from the bustle of Jemaa el-Fna. Nothing quite like quietly chilling on the roof at night and the late call to prayer starting up from all the local little mosques at slightly different times.
