Food is an important part of any destination, and Marrakesh is no exception. Some of the most stunning scenes I saw during my visit involved seeing local vendors selling slews A-tier quality ingredients in the streets: vegetables, fruits, meats, you name it, they sold it. Dining in Morocco is a love hate relationship for me. The best Moroccan food is eaten at home. Chances are you won't get an invite for couscous with a Moroccan grandmother. To get "Moroccan cuisine" you end up going to touristic restaurants. Some are good, some are mediocre. If you ask a Moroccan for a restaurant tip, you'll get directed to an Italian restaurant or somewhere serving "exotic" foreign food that you could probably get at home. That said, Marrakesh's restaurants - even the touristic ones - offer an immense array of culinary experiences. Between "sha'abi" low level cuisine, fine dining for tourists, and non-Moroccan restaurants you are sure to find a great array of food. This guide aims to give some restaurant recommendations: first with super authentic food, second with some more modern or fine dining Moroccan options, and finally with some non-Moroccan options within the city. NOTE: I cannot verify sites will not be closed due to the earthquake. I have added some links to donate to charities assisting relief efforts in Morocco below.

I love Tangier. In a country where "relaxing" and "cities" don't usually mix, the Mediterranean air, sandy beaches, and craggy cliffs gives Tangier a certain laissez-faire vibe that Marrakesh, Fez, or Casablanca could only dream of. I like to say it's as though Morocco, France, and Spain had a baby featuring each country's best parts. It doesn't matter if you're in the old parts of the Kasbah or Medina, the Corniche, or in the west by Cap Spartel. It's magnificent. In this article, I (hope to) show off the best sites of Tangier by location along with some good points about logistics and hotel recommendations. Need anything more?

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.

The Sahara is mystical, enchanting, and endless. And getting there is half the fun. While you might get your camel fix in the Agafay Desert near Marrakesh, the big and grand desert is a solid 10 hour drive away. And while it is easiest to get a guide to help, it is possible to do it (or at least part of it) on your own. Just make sure you bring four-wheel drive and a satellite GPS to get to your camp. Even if you don't want to go into the desert by yourself, there is a plethora to see along the way, including the High Atlas Mountains, the kasr's and movie studios around Ouarzazate, the fascinating Berber culture in the Dra’a Valley, and even some more off-the-beaten bath excursions towards Tazenakht. If you are looking for the best sites to and from Erg Chigaga, this guide is for you.
