Marrakesh is a magical city, brimming with vibrant colors and aromas. It embodies a fascinating blend of luxury and opulence, alongside a rough, chaotic charm, as the beautiful city grapples with pollution. Here, ancient crafts coexist with new techniques; you’ll meet people from all over the world who possess incredible stories, talents, and ambitions. Many tourists view Marrakesh merely as a stopover or a weekend destination on their longer Moroccan journey. Moroccans often refer to it as just a tourist town. But a couple of years ago I spent 10 days, right in the central Medina, exploring all that the old historic town has to offer. After my short time there and after poring over the Lonely Planet guide, see below what I learnt. Regardless of your itinerary, here are seven things you won't want to miss on your next trip to Marrakesh.
