Travel Tips
- Get lost in the souks — it's part of the experience (Google Maps works in the Medina)
- Bargain in the souks: start at 30-40% of the asking price
- Try tagine, couscous, and fresh mint tea
- Dress modestly, especially in the Medina
- Book a hammam (traditional bath) experience — every riad can arrange one
- Rooftop terraces are the secret gems of Marrakech
Getting There & Around
The Medina is best explored on foot — it's a maze of narrow alleys. Petit taxis (metered) serve the city. Caleches (horse-drawn carriages) circle the main sights. Uber is not available but Careem operates here. For day trips (Atlas Mountains, Essaouira), hire a private driver.
