Marrakech Etiquette
per SmithsterOne of the main things that annoyed me in Marrakech, wasn’t Marrakech itself, or even the people, but the tourists who displayed very little respect to their host country. Remember Morocco is a Muslim country so if you’re visiting, please respect local customers. Girls, avoid wearing mini-skirts, vest tops and shorts otherwise locals will think you’ve wandering around in your underwear. Plus you’ll only attract unwanted looks and comments from men mystified by your semi nudity. Also, if you’re taking photos of people, please ask their permission. Shoving a camera into anyone’s face is rude in whatever culture, but in Morocco it’s as if you’re stealing someone’s soul. And no one wants to do that when they’re on holiday, do they?�

Step back in time in Marrakech
per SmithsterMarrakech burst onto the travel scene thanks to the Mick Jagger and the rest of the Rolling Stones who enjoyed anominity and found mystery in the sultry city of Marrakech. And it’s easy to see the attraction here. Behind the grand Medina walls lies a myriad of souqs and tiny winding streets where craft shops and stores operate out of cosy caverns. You can see people working as they did hundreds of years ago, weaving carpets, making shoes, and crafting jewellery and where snake charmers captivate passers-by. Hundreds of food stalls still serve up Morocco’s most traditional dishes and the pungent smells of cooking spices fill the air. Taking a walk through medieval Marrakech is like taking a step back in time. It’s a pleasant assault on the senses�
