The reality of the local traffic quickly proved us wrong, and it still holds true that <strong>driving in Marrakech will test even the most hardened drivers<\/strong>, so if you&#8217;re planning to come here by car, arm yourself with enormous patience. Even so, the city is absolutely stunning, full of dazzling colours, the scent of spices and historic palaces that instantly transport you to a completely different world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our trip took place <strong>in December, which turned out to be an absolutely ideal choice<\/strong> for exploring the sights and wandering the alleys without exhausting summer heat. During the day, temperatures hovered around a <strong>very pleasant 18 \u00b0C<\/strong>, though the nights were cooler and the thermometer dropped to around five degrees. If you head here, be prepared for the fact that Marrakech is a gorgeous but incredibly intense city that calls for a little caution and common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article we&#8217;ll look together at <strong>25 tips on what to see and do in Marrakech<\/strong>, so you can get the very most out of your visit without needless stress. We&#8217;ll walk through the most beautiful palaces, I&#8217;ll show you <strong>where to stay strategically<\/strong>, and we&#8217;ll break down in detail the most common tourist traps and <strong>scams you really need to watch out for<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a951195ed5e5&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\"

In these months you avoid the extremes, the days are beautifully sunny and the evenings bring a pleasant cool-down. In summer, Marrakech turns into a scorching oven, with temperatures routinely climbing well above 40 \u00b0C. Walking through the narrow, airless alleys of the medina then becomes more a battle for survival than a pleasant holiday experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We set off to Morocco <strong>in December, and for sightseeing it was absolutely ideal<\/strong>, because daytime temperatures stayed around a <strong>lovely 18 \u00b0C<\/strong>. For a full day of walking around the sights, that&#8217;s the most comfortable weather of all \u2014 you don&#8217;t sweat and you manage to see far more in a day than in the summer heat. You do need to bear in mind, though, that <strong>nights in winter are genuinely cold and temperatures drop to around 5 \u00b0C<\/strong>, so definitely pack some warmer clothing in your suitcase. A warm jacket and layering will save you, especially on early-morning walks to breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re planning to spend just a long weekend in Marrakech, set aside <strong>ideally two to three full days<\/strong> for the city itself, which will be plenty for all the main sights and soaking up the atmosphere. But if you also want to head out on day trips such as the Atlas Mountains, the Ouzoud waterfalls or the coast, <strong>definitely extend your stay to five to seven days<\/strong>. Morocco is a huge country full of contrasts, and having enough time for everything means sparing yourself a lot of unnecessary stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a951195ee4fc&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a951195ee4fc\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1197\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-03.jpg\" alt=\"Patio of a riad in the medina\" class=\"wp-image-395764\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-03.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-03-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-03-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-03-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-03-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-03-1392x926.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Moussa Idrissi \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_in_Marrakech_Morocco\"><\/span>Where to stay in Marrakech, Morocco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> You can compare accommodation options in Marrakech all in one place \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=co-videt-v-marrakesi&#038;address=Marr%C3%A1ke%C5%A1%2C%20Maroko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">check availability and prices in Marrakech<\/a>.

Life here plays out on the beautiful rooftop terraces of hidden riads \u2014 traditional Moroccan houses built around an inner courtyard. These homes offer an incredible oasis of calm amid the urban chaos and deliver the true Moroccan experience you&#8217;ll remember for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If, like us, you&#8217;re planning to rent a car straight at the airport, we <strong>strongly recommend staying outside the medina centre itself<\/strong>. We really struggled to drive through the narrow, chaotic alleys. For drivers, a far better choice is the <strong>modern Gu\u00e9liz district<\/strong>, built by the French, with wide streets, hassle-free parking and plenty of modern caf\u00e9s. A third option is the <strong>upscale Hivernage district<\/strong>, home to the best resorts and elegant restaurants, where it stays perfectly quiet during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whichever district you choose, <strong>definitely book a traditional riad for at least a couple of nights<\/strong>, because it&#8217;s simply part of a visit to Morocco. Prices for a nice mid-range riad typically run <strong>around \u20ac80 to \u20ac220 per night<\/strong>, while the most luxurious palaces climb into the hundreds of euros. If you&#8217;re after a cheaper option in the medina, the more modest Riad Sijane is very popular, for example. Here are some more specific accommodation tips with excellent reviews:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  <strong>Riad BE Marrakech:<\/strong> A beautifully renovated riad in the southern part of the medina, famous for its stunning indoor pool and breathtaking d\u00e9cor (price around \u20ac120\u2013220).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Riad Yasmine:<\/strong> One of the most photogenic riads in the city, with just 10 rooms, a gorgeous green pool with an orange tree and a wonderfully personal touch (price around \u20ac80\u2013150).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Riad Dar El Bahja &amp; Spa:<\/strong> Traditional accommodation offering a very pleasant setting close to the main action and great value for money.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>El Fenn:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re after absolute luxury, this complex of interconnected riads offers several pools, rooftop terraces and amazing art collections (price from \u20ac400 and up).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a951195eef06&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a951195eef06\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-04.jpg\" alt=\"View over the medina in Marrakech\" class=\"wp-image-395770\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-04.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-04-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-04-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-04-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-04-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-04-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-04-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: IslandHopper X \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll find a detailed overview of the districts and specific riads in our separate article <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/where-stay-marrakech-morocco\/\">Where to stay in Marrakech<\/a>, which has 14 tips from hostel to luxury palace, including guide prices.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"25_things_to_do_in_Marrakech_Morocco\"><\/span>25 things to do in Marrakech, Morocco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marrakech is a city of huge contrasts, where deep history mingles with bustling modern life.

Traditional music plays everywhere, drummers set the rhythm, and the overall atmosphere is simply magical and utterly captivating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you head here for dinner, <strong>be very cautious with the local restaurants right on the square<\/strong>, because the touts can be unbelievably persuasive. The moment you sit down, the waiters automatically bring you bread, olives and little bowls of various starters. Keep in mind, though, that <strong>these starters are definitely not free<\/strong> and will unfailingly appear on your bill at the end. The best defence is to have everything you didn&#8217;t order yourself taken away immediately, and always ask clearly about the price of any dish in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a951195f0c34&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a951195f0c34\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1195\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-07.jpg\" alt=\"Blue villa in the Jardin Majorelle garden\" class=\"wp-image-395780\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-07.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-07-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-07-700x465.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-07-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-07-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-07-696x462.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-07-1392x924.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Viault \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Jardin_Majorelle_garden_and_the_legacy_of_Yves_Saint_Laurent\"><\/span>3.

It&#8217;s full of exotic plants, giant cacti and ponds, all dominated by the iconic cobalt-blue colour that became known as &#8220;Majorelle blue&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The garden was originally created by the French painter Jacques Majorelle, but it was later <strong>saved from destruction by the famous fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent<\/strong>, whose ashes were even scattered here after his death. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Given the enormous popularity of this spot, buy your tickets (which cost around 150 MAD) online well in advance.

The gorgeous Bahia Palace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bahia Palace is an absolute masterpiece of late-nineteenth-century Moroccan architecture and a showcase of the incredible wealth of that era. <strong>Admission is 100 MAD (roughly \u20ac9) for an adult<\/strong>, while children under seven get in completely free. It&#8217;s open every day from 8:00 to 17:00, and this sprawling complex offers dozens of beautifully decorated rooms, huge courtyards with marble fountains and shady gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The palace&#8217;s name translates as &#8220;Brilliant&#8221;, and its builders had one clear goal: to create <strong>the most magnificent palace of its time<\/strong>. Walking through the empty halls with their incredibly detailed carved cedar ceilings and zellige mosaic floors is an experience you really mustn&#8217;t miss. Once again, the golden rule here is to arrive as early in the morning as possible, before the big organised tour groups from the coastal resorts turn up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a951195f205b&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a951195f205b\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1197\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-09.jpg\" alt=\"Courtyard of the Ben Youssef Madrasa\" class=\"wp-image-395785\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-09.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-09-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-09-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-09-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-09-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-09-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-09-1392x926.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: DimiTalen \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_fascinating_Ben_Youssef_Madrasa\"><\/span>5. The fascinating Ben Youssef Madrasa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ben Youssef Madrasa was once the largest Islamic university in all of Morocco, and to this day it rightly ranks among <strong>the absolute gems of Islamic architecture in Marrakech<\/strong>. After a fairly extensive and demanding renovation, this fourteenth-century historic school has reopened to visitors, and its intricate details will literally take your breath away. The main courtyard, with its large shallow pool, is surrounded by walls covered in complex geometric patterns, wood and stucco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also take a detailed look at the <strong>tiny student cells on the upper floors<\/strong>, where up to 900 students of the Quran once lived and studied diligently. The contrast between the utterly silent, sacred atmosphere inside the madrasa and the bustling souk right outside its walls is truly fascinating. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Combine a visit to the madrasa with a stroll around the surrounding markets and the nearby photography museum, giving you a great programme for a whole morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a951195f2872&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a951195f2872\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1193\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-10.jpg\" alt=\"Ruins of the El Badi Palace\" class=\"wp-image-395788\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-10.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-10-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-10-700x464.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-10-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-10-1536x1018.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-10-696x461.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-10-1392x923.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Jakub Ha\u0142un \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_El_Badi_Palace_and_a_magical_sunset\"><\/span>6.

Today you can wander among the massive earthen walls and vast empty courtyards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the most interesting thing about the whole palace today is that dozens of storks <strong>have settled on its high walls, building their huge nests<\/strong> and circling above the ruins. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Come here in the late afternoon just before closing time. From the palace terrace you&#8217;ll get <strong>an absolutely fantastic view of the city at sunset<\/strong>, when the brick walls take on an incredibly rich red-orange colour and the photos from here look amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a951195f3172&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a951195f3172\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-11.jpg\" alt=\"Koutoubia Mosque with its minaret\" class=\"wp-image-395790\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-11.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-11-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-11-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-11-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-11-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-11-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-11-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-11-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-11-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Baca12 \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_The_majestic_Koutoubia_Mosque\"><\/span>7.

Its almost seventy-metre-tall minaret rises proudly above the city and is visible from just about every rooftop terrace in the wider area. The mosque&#8217;s name originally derives from the word for booksellers, because in the past dozens of stalls with historic manuscripts stood in its immediate vicinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s very important to know that <strong>only practising Muslims are allowed inside the mosque<\/strong>, so as an ordinary tourist you can admire this imposing twelfth-century structure only from the outside. The best thing to do is stroll through the beautifully kept rose-filled gardens surrounding the mosque and listen from there to the deafening yet incredibly captivating call to prayer, which echoes across the whole city and lends it that true oriental atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a951195f39b5&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a951195f39b5\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1176\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-12.jpg\" alt=\"Souks in the medina full of spices\" class=\"wp-image-395794\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-12.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-12-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-12-700x457.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-12-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-12-1536x1004.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-12-696x455.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-12-1392x909.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Angeline A. van Achterberg \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_The_labyrinth_of_souks_in_the_medina\"><\/span>8.

You&#8217;ll find lanes full of leather goods, hand-hammered lamps, carpets, painted ceramics and colourful spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The atmosphere here is incredibly dense and all-enveloping at every turn. From every corner someone calls out to you offering the guaranteed best price, you constantly have to dodge passing scooters weaving inexplicably through metre-wide gaps between people, and the strong scent of mint tea drifts in from all sides. <strong>Don&#8217;t be afraid to get lost and put your map away for a while<\/strong>, because in the end every larger alley will sooner or later spit you back out onto the central square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95119600249&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95119600249\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-13.jpg\" alt=\"Carpet shop in a Marrakech souk\" class=\"wp-image-395798\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-13.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-13-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-13-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-13-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-13-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-13-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Margo Evardson \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_The_art_of_haggling_and_how_to_do_it\"><\/span>9. The art of haggling and how to do it<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopping in Morocco has its clear, unchanging rules, and <strong>haggling here is an absolute necessity<\/strong>, not just an optional choice for the brave. If you see goods without a price tag, expect the first price the vendor confidently quotes to be heavily inflated \u2014 often three or even four times over. So never accept the first offer, or you&#8217;d be offending the trading spirit of the local sellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The basic rule for a successful purchase is this: <strong>offer roughly 30% of the originally requested amount<\/strong> and work your way, with a smile and some joking, towards a mutual compromise. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: If the price still seems too high, use the very effective walk-away technique. Thank them with a smile and start slowly leaving the shop. In nine out of ten cases the seller will immediately call after you with a much better offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95119600c50&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95119600c50\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-14.jpg\" alt=\"Interior of a traditional Moroccan hammam\" class=\"wp-image-395800\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-14.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-14-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-14-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-14-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-14-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-14-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-14-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Pablo RAMON \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_A_traditional_cleanse_at_the_hammam\"><\/span>10. A traditional cleanse at the hammam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to experience something genuinely local while also resting after a demanding day walking around the city, <strong>a visit to a traditional Moroccan hammam (public bathhouse) shouldn&#8217;t be missing from your list<\/strong>. The experience involves a longer stay in a hot steam room, followed by an incredibly thorough full-body scrub using a special black soap paste (known as savon noir) and a rough scrubbing mitt called a kessa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You essentially have two main ways to approach it. Either you head to an <strong>authentic local hammam<\/strong> where ordinary Moroccans go (it&#8217;s very cheap, but you only get a plastic bucket and have to bring your own soap and towel), or you pay a bit more for a <strong>tourist spa hammam<\/strong>. There, the staff take care of you, you get a lovely massage and everything takes place in a luxurious setting. For your very first visit, we&#8217;d recommend the second option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95119601d39&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95119601d39\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-15.jpg\" alt=\"Saadian Tombs in Marrakech\" class=\"wp-image-395802\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-15.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-15-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-15-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-15-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-15-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-15-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-15-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-15-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-15-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: C messier \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_The_mysterious_Saadian_Tombs\"><\/span>11.

They were rediscovered entirely by chance in 1917, during aerial photography of the city by the French army. Today you can calmly admire the beautifully decorated mausoleums here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most famous and by far the most beautiful part of the whole complex is the so-called <strong>Hall of the Twelve Columns, where the powerful Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur is buried<\/strong>. The room is decorated with incredibly precise stucco and zellige tiles, supported by massive columns of pure Carrara marble. The complex itself isn&#8217;t particularly large and you&#8217;ll walk through it fairly quickly, but the decorative details rank among the finest in all of Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95119602973&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95119602973\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-16.jpg\" alt=\"Museum in a historic house in Marrakech\" class=\"wp-image-395805\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-16.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-16-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-16-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-16-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-16-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-16-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-16-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Tomas Anunziata \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"marrakesi\" lang=\"en\" rendered=\"2026-08-31T00:26:38+00:00\" v=\"1\" -->\n<style id=\"lk-gyg-styles\">\n@import url(\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@700&family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap\");\n\/* === LK GYG karty \u2014 CRO redesign 2026-05 (namespace .lkx-) ===\n   C\u00edl: vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed CTR (hero + v\u00fdrazn\u00fd social proof + ak\u010dn\u00ed CTA, m\u00e9n\u011b \"reklamn\u00ed\").\n   Injektuje se inline do prvn\u00edho markeru postu (refresh_cards.py --inline-css). *\/\n.lkx-module, .lkx-module *{box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0}\n.lkx-module{\n  font-family:'DM Sans',-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Georgia,sans-serif;\n  max-width:860px;margin:2.5rem auto;color:#1f2328;\n}\n\n\/* HEADER \u2014 lehk\u00fd editorsk\u00fd, \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd bannerov\u00fd blok;

Maison de la Photographie (Museum of Photography)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This wonderful museum is a real hidden gem of Marrakech that a lot of tourists completely forget about, which is a huge shame. <strong>The Maison de la Photographie is housed in a beautifully renovated traditional riad<\/strong> and holds a stunning collection of historic photographs of Morocco from 1870 to 1950. The photos on display beautifully and rawly document how the local culture, the Berber tribes and the city itself gradually evolved over the decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the exhibition itself, the museum has one more huge draw that makes paying the entrance fee well worth it. <strong>On its roof there&#8217;s one of the best caf\u00e9s in the medina<\/strong>, offering a fantastic panoramic view over the whole city and, in the distance, the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains. It&#8217;s an absolutely ideal spot to enjoy a refreshing sweet mint tea after your visit and relax for a while in the shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95119603165&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95119603165\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-17.jpg\" alt=\"Narrow medina alley at dusk\" class=\"wp-image-395809\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-17.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-17-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-17-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-17-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-17-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-17-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-17-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Andre Manuel \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Safety_in_the_medina_after_dark\"><\/span>13. Safety in the medina after dark<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Marrakech is bustling by day and, in terms of personal safety, a relatively reliable place, <strong>after dark the atmosphere in the narrow medina alleys changes significantly<\/strong>. During our trip we very quickly confirmed that finding your way through the dark alleys is far more difficult, and the medina itself can be dangerous at night. The crowds vanish quickly, and you can very easily end up in empty, dark corners with no way to get help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special, heightened caution applies especially to women. <strong>Women should definitely not walk around the medina alone at night<\/strong>. If you&#8217;re heading back to your riad after dinner once it&#8217;s dark, stick to the main, well-lit routes, don&#8217;t take any dodgy shortcuts, and ideally always have someone from the hotel staff accompany you.

Local women grab your hand out of nowhere and <strong>start rapidly painting a henna pattern on it, telling you it&#8217;s &#8220;free&#8221; or a welcome gift<\/strong>. But as soon as the pattern is done, they immediately and very aggressively demand amounts in the range of 200 to 500 MAD, making a huge scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it&#8217;s not just about the wasted money and a spoiled mood \u2014 <strong>there&#8217;s also a huge health risk involved<\/strong> that many people forget about. Many of these women use so-called &#8220;black henna&#8221;, which contains the toxic substance PPD. It can cause severe allergic reactions, burns and, in rare cases, even permanent scarring. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: If someone approaches you with henna, hide your hands behind your back and say very firmly &#8220;La, shukran&#8221; (No, thank you).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a951196049da&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a951196049da\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1199\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-19.jpg\" alt=\"Snake charmer on Jemaa el-Fnaa square\" class=\"wp-image-395815\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-19.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-19-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-19-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-19-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-19-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-19-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-19-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Philipp Martin \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Scam_Animals_as_photo_props\"><\/span>15.

It often happens that they suddenly plonk a monkey on your shoulder or drape a snake around your neck without you asking for it at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;ve photographed the animal, or they&#8217;ve photographed you with it, <strong>they immediately start demanding absurdly high amounts for the photo<\/strong> and can be very unpleasant about it. For ethical reasons and to protect the animals, we strongly recommend paying no attention whatsoever to these attractions. Don&#8217;t make eye contact with these people, and definitely don&#8217;t photograph the animals, even from a great distance. Any pointed camera is an instant signal to them to ask for money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a951196053d9&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a951196053d9\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-20.jpg\" alt=\"Vendor in a medina alley\" class=\"wp-image-395817\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-20.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-20-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-20-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-20-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-20-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-20-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-20-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Fabnel LDN \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Scam_Fake_guides_and_%E2%80%9Chelpers%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>16.

Local young men start walking casually beside you, pointing you towards the sights or eagerly explaining the city&#8217;s history. <strong>At the end of this unsolicited tour they&#8217;ll of course very bluntly ask for money<\/strong>, even though at the start they kept insisting they only wanted to help you find your way in a friendly, selfless manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember very well that <strong>official licensed guides always carry a visible ID badge<\/strong>, and you have to arrange a tour with them in advance on top of that. You must refuse any self-appointed guide on the street within the very first seconds \u2014 politely but absolutely firmly.

In the same breath, though, they add that today, exceptionally, a big Berber market is being held at the tanneries and that they&#8217;d be delighted to take you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tanneries in Marrakech do genuinely exist and are visually interesting, but <strong>this trick serves only to pressure you into buying overpriced leather goods<\/strong> in a particular friendly shop from which your fake &#8220;guide&#8221; gets a big commission. Always verify the opening hours of the sights from official sources and don&#8217;t believe anyone who tries to convince you otherwise on the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a951196075b7&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a951196075b7\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-23.jpg\" alt=\"Moroccan petit taxi on the street\" class=\"wp-image-395825\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-23.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-23-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-23-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-23-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-23-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-23-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-23-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Michal Osmenda from Brussels, Belgium \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 2.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"19_How_to_handle_taxis_and_meters\"><\/span>19. How to handle taxis and meters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting around the city can be a huge test of the nerves, not just behind the wheel but also on a seemingly simple taxi ride. The small city taxis, the so-called &#8220;petits taxis&#8221;, <strong>are legally strictly obliged to always run the meter<\/strong>. Unfortunately, the reality is that as soon as the driver sees a tourist, he&#8217;ll immediately declare that &#8220;the meter is broken&#8221;, or straight through the rolled-down window offer you an absurdly high flat fare for the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real difference in price is absolutely enormous. <strong>A normal ride across the city on the meter costs around 15 to 20 MAD, whereas tourists are routinely offered a ride for 100 to 200 MAD<\/strong>. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Always firmly insist on switching on the meter before you even get into the car. If the driver refuses, simply thank him, slam the door and flag down the next one. Thousands of taxis run in Marrakech, and sooner or later you&#8217;ll come across an honest driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9511960811c&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a9511960811c\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1176\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-24.jpg\" alt=\"Crowd at a market in Marrakech\" class=\"wp-image-395827\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-24.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-24-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-24-700x457.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-24-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-24-1536x1004.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-24-696x455.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-24-1392x909.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Angeline A. van Achterberg \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20_Watch_out_for_backpacks_and_pickpockets\"><\/span>20.

During our trip we very quickly noticed one crucial thing: <strong>in the centre of the medina none of the locals carry a backpack<\/strong>, even though they&#8217;re sold there in huge quantities on every corner. Wearing a backpack simply makes you an instant target for thieves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We ourselves handled the safety of our belongings by <strong>using a small lock on the backpack and carrying absolutely nothing valuable in the front, easily accessible pocket<\/strong>. If you can, better not take a classic backpack into the medina at all and go for a small bum bag or a trusty crossbody bag that you&#8217;ll keep in front of you on your chest at all times, under complete control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9511960926e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a9511960926e\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-25.jpg\" alt=\"A road in Morocco\" class=\"wp-image-395828\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-25.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-25-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-25-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-25-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-25-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-25-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-25-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Loubna Belmekki \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"21_Police_checks_and_driving_in_Morocco\"><\/span>21.

An important note for renting a car: <strong>you must have a credit card in the driver&#8217;s name<\/strong>.

In the process, though, we discovered a very useful thing: <strong>it paid off enormously not to speak French<\/strong> and to stubbornly refuse to communicate in it at all.

Local restaurants routinely and lovingly prepare an excellent vegetable tagine (stewed vegetables with potatoes and spices served in the typical clay pot), vegetable couscous or fresh Moroccan salads. The golden rule we read about in English-language forums and stuck to strictly is: <strong>&#8220;eat where the locals eat&#8221;<\/strong>. It always paid off wonderfully \u2014 we ate brilliantly and for next to nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, <strong>we broke this rule just once and really regretted it afterwards<\/strong>. On a trip to the Ouzoud waterfalls we gave in to the temptation of a quick lunch with a lovely view in a clearly touristy, over-polished restaurant. It was disproportionately expensive and was <strong>the only meal in all of Morocco we genuinely didn&#8217;t enjoy at all<\/strong>. So better stick to the inconspicuous local eateries that lie off the main tourist trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9511960a06f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a9511960a06f\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1197\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-27.jpg\" alt=\"A garden in Marrakech suitable for families\" class=\"wp-image-395830\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-27.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-27-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-27-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-27-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-27-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-27-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-27-1392x926.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Moussa Idrissi \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"23_Marrakech_with_kids\"><\/span>23.

Walking through the old medina with a classic pushchair is practically impossible because of the narrow alleys, steps and constantly passing scooters, so a baby carrier or sling is an absolute must here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re heading here with kids anyway, <strong>definitely invest in accommodation in a quiet riad with an indoor pool<\/strong> or a hotel outside the busy medina with large gardens. After a few hours in the hustle and bustle of the city, children will inevitably need a calm refuge where they can rest and safely cool down. It also proved very worthwhile to avoid the afternoon rush at the markets and explore the city early in the morning, when relative calm reigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9511960a79e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a9511960a79e\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-28.jpg\" alt=\"Moroccan dirhams\" class=\"wp-image-395831\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-28.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-28-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-28-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-28-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-28-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-28-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-28-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-28-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-28-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Freepius \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"24_Prices_and_budget_in_Morocco\"><\/span>24. Prices and budget in Morocco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morocco is generally a very affordable and welcoming destination, but in Marrakech itself prices can vary dramatically depending on how much you give in to the ever-present tourist traps. To give a clear idea of overall travel costs: <strong>our entire eight-day road trip through Morocco (including car rental, accommodation, food and petrol) came to around \u20ac950 for two people<\/strong>. In Marrakech you can live very cheaply if you eat at local eateries (where a meal costs around 30\u201350 MAD) and sleep in ordinary riads outside the luxury districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, entry to popular sights, luxury rooftop caf\u00e9s and dinners at touristy restaurants with music can drain your budget very quickly. <strong>The key to a smooth trip is always having enough cash on you (the Moroccan dirham, MAD for short)<\/strong>, because even though better hotels and restaurants now commonly accept cards, at the markets, small stalls and for taxis you&#8217;ll always pay in cash and cash only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9511960b994&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a9511960b994\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-29.jpg\" alt=\"Pouring Moroccan mint tea\" class=\"wp-image-395832\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-29.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-29-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-29-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-29-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-29-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-29-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maroko-clanky-co-videt-v-marrakesi-29-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Dennis Kemmerling \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"25_Etiquette_and_local_customs_the_right_hand_rules\"><\/span>25. Etiquette and local customs: the right hand rules<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Respecting long-standing local customs will open plenty of doors for you in Morocco and is guaranteed to save you many an unpleasant look from locals. A key, very practical rule you need to remember even before you fly out is that <strong>you must always pay, hand things over and eat exclusively with your right hand<\/strong>. In Muslim culture, the left hand is traditionally considered unclean. If you hand money to a vendor with your left hand, they may take it as a serious personal insult. On top of that, we deliberately didn&#8217;t bring back any dyed minerals or fake fossils from the markets, which are everywhere by the ton, because they&#8217;re simply not worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also don&#8217;t forget appropriate, modest clothing. Although Marrakech has long been used to floods of tourists, <strong>you&#8217;re still in a deeply conservative Islamic country<\/strong>. Bare shoulders, plunging necklines or overly short shorts aren&#8217;t suitable for men or women. Dress lightly but modestly instead \u2014 that way you show the much-needed respect for the local culture, which Moroccans really appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_go_next_from_Marrakech\"><\/span>Where to go next from Marrakech<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marrakech is an absolutely <strong>ideal base<\/strong> for exploring other corners of Morocco. During our week of travelling, we set off from the city on a superb road trip, whose complete outline and map you&#8217;ll find in the article <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/morocco-roadtrip\/\">Morocco road trip: a 7\u20139 day itinerary<\/a>. Here are the <strong>best day-trip tips<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you start planning your programme, sort out where to sleep: in the article <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/where-stay-marrakech-morocco\/\">Where to stay in Marrakech<\/a> we compare the medina, Gu\u00e9liz and Hivernage and recommend specific riads by budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  <strong>Ouzoud waterfalls:<\/strong> Gorgeous cascades lying about 2.5 hours from the city. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: On site, locals kept pushing a so-called &#8220;non-touristy back route&#8221; on us. We found, though, that the normal &#8220;tourist&#8221; route actually had far <strong>fewer<\/strong> people, so don&#8217;t be fooled and take the classic trail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>A\u00eft Benhaddou:<\/strong> A famous earthen kasbah (fortified village) where Gladiator and Game of Thrones were filmed. Getting here from Marrakech is a gorgeous drive over the Atlas Mountains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Expedition to the Sahara (Merzouga):<\/strong> If you have more days, head for the sand dunes at Merzouga. We rode camels through a great company called <strong>Mohou Tours<\/strong>. The owner was, in our opinion, probably the kindest Moroccan we met at all, and the desert trip cost only a brilliant <strong>\u20ac25<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787644191000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Marrakech_a_safe_city_for_tourists\"><\/span>Is Marrakech a safe city for tourists?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, during the day the city is very safe, but you must be very careful of the ubiquitous pickpockets in crowds and expect pushy street vendors and various scams. The medina itself is harder to navigate at night and women should definitely not walk around alone. Always stay alert and use common sense.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787644191001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_best_clothing_for_Marrakech\"><\/span>What&#8217;s the best clothing for Marrakech?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Choose primarily light and breathable clothing that fully respects the local culture. Both women and men should keep their shoulders and knees covered at all times. Ideal choices are loose linen trousers, long skirts and shirts. In winter months, don&#8217;t forget to pack a warm sweater or jacket for the evening, when temperatures drop sharply after sunset.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787644191002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_drink_tap_water_in_Marrakech\"><\/span>Can I drink tap water in Marrakech?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>We definitely don&#8217;t recommend drinking tap water in Morocco, as you could get very unpleasant stomach problems that would ruin your entire holiday. Always buy bottled water and use it to be safe even for brushing your teeth. Also watch out for ice in drinks you order from street stalls.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787644191003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_a_visa_for_Morocco\"><\/span>Do I need a visa for Morocco?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Most international visitors don&#8217;t need a visa for regular entry to Morocco if their tourist stay doesn&#8217;t exceed 90 days. However, your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your date of entry into the country, so carefully check this requirement before departure.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787644191004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_get_from_Marrakech_airport_to_the_city_center\"><\/span>How do I get from Marrakech airport to the city center?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The cheapest and fairly reliable option is airport bus number 19, which runs every 20 to 30 minutes and a single ride costs 30 MAD. The alternative is of course taxis, but you must negotiate the price before getting in. The standard price to the center should be around 70 to 100 MAD, although drivers will certainly ask for much more at first.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787644191005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_easily_buy_alcohol_in_Marrakech\"><\/span>Can you easily buy alcohol in Marrakech?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Morocco is an Islamic country, so alcohol is not commonly sold in ordinary shops or in most traditional restaurants. However, you can find it in licensed international hotels, better tourist restaurants in the Gu\u00e9liz district and in specially separated sections of large supermarkets, such as Carrefour.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787644191006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_money_should_I_take_to_Morocco\"><\/span>What money should I take to Morocco?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The local currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD), which cannot be easily or favorably purchased abroad. Take euros or dollars with you and exchange them on site at official exchange offices (but definitely avoid the unfavorable rate at the airport), or withdraw dirhams directly from reliable local ATMs.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heading to Morocco?
