Impossible square - The square is a lively experience, full of great experiences, ranging from the thousands of tents of food, fruit, crafts, jewellery to animals and magic.

Time well spent in Marrakech - Our guide, Hussein, was terrific. Very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the Bahai Palace which we toured, but also about the culture in general. I learned a lot about Morocco and the culture of the people in three hours. Having tickets with a guide you will skip long lines.

Adventures in Marrakech: From the Medina to Guéliz - Marrakech: A Time Travel with Surprises and Much Adventure! I still remember the excitement that struck me the first time I set foot in Jemaa El Fna and entered the alleys of the Medina; it was like a ride on a timeship! Everything was so striking: the shops brimming with colors, the smell of spices transporting you to a market on another planet, and the food that was an explosion of flavors! Your people, your riads, your hammams... Everything so particular, so captivating! Getting lost in its narrow labyrinths, where it is easy to get lost, led us to discover small artisan workshops, traditional markets and bazaars full of wonders. Here you can find everything from spices, carpets, jewelry, lamps, dessert delicacies and so much more! It's like an amusement park for shopping lovers! But instead of roller coasters, here you have exciting haggling! We chose to stay at one of the hotels in Guéliz. This part of Marrakech has wide avenues like Mohamed V and Mohamed VI, clean and full of palm trees! Guéliz overflows with shops, shopping malls, restaurants and cafes, located about 3 km from the medina. If you enjoy walking, getting there is a piece of cake! Of course, if it’s an authentic Maghreb experience you’re looking for, Guéliz won’t meet all your expectations. It’s more like the modern neighborhood where locals flock to recover from the bustle of the medina! It's like the medina is the big party and Guéliz, the place to hangover! A perfect combination for an unforgettable experience in Marrakech!

To get away from it all - Cross the Jemaa El Fna square, stroll through the alleys and souks, chat, haggle, exchange with the shopkeepers and have authors and above all colors in your eyes. Another world to discover

VERY MIXED - Disappointing experience. You have to run as quickly as possible to avoid the risk of being crushed. The little monkeys are still exploited in the Jema el Fna square, which is not exceptional. I experienced moments a thousand times more authentic and interesting than in Marrakech. Black people. The traders are friendly nonetheless. The same goes for restaurateurs. It is possible to eat well and inexpensively

It would have been a great place back in the day - Tourist trap. 1) Aggressive vendors - more than any other Moroccan city. Worst situation: watching two fruit sellers screaming at each other. 2) Scammers - I hate to say it, but ignore anyone saying anything to you. 3) Animal cruelty (see other reviews about it) 4) Smell from the horses (I wish we used a different exit) 5) As one reviewer said, it's Disney-fied

El FARABI Cosmetics - Beware of taxi drivers - Be careful to take taxis because they will propose you to go to an EL FARABI COSMETIC cosmetic center and try to sell you products at stratospheric prices. There will be women dressed as pharmacists who will make you believe that their products are discounted instead of tripled. Mrs. Latifa sold us saffron at 15€ per gram saying it was the best price in Marrakech to give an example!
