Yes, Marrakesh was cool. But I’m not sure I would recommend it to others. If you’re going through there on the way between the mountains and the coast, I suppose it’s worth a visit. But I wouldn’t recommend going out of the way to get there. There are so many more pleasant places to see in the country, and if all you’re looking for is a bustling Old Town, it exists in much more quaint versions in Essouaira, Rabat, Meknes, and especially Fez, which has the “best preserved Old Town in the Arab world.” Ultimately I’m glad I saw it, but I’m also very glad we spent only the amount of time there that we did, instead enjoying the coast and the mountains for some extra time.

I agree with Donny, it seems like a very interesting place? Nice pictures.

I still don’t understand why there was so much controversy and discussion about visiting Marrakesh. Why would people tell you to avoid it? Is it that horrible of a place? What could make a place so undesirable? It seemed great from your story and photos.
