Advice for visiting Marrakech

Let me give a few tips that will help you improve your experience in Marrakech:

No believe anyone
If you ask to someone about getting to some tourist attraction is likely to tell you that is closed on the grounds that it does not open that day or that is developing an event.

This is generally false and the reason is to try to take you to another site that he recommends. You will have to always check what they tell you.

Everyone wants to make money
Typically, a boy tells you that leads you somewhere without pay, he has money and does not want anything, only coincidentally lives near where you want to go and do not mind lead you, or unless it learns Castilian.

Mysteriously, the road appears the store of his brother / friend / uncle, which as you can have a look of “just looking, not buying.”

They are great business
If you start looking at something at any store, no matter how clever you are very likely to finish inside the store, with the curtain closed, drinking mint tea with the owner while gives you things because you’ve liked.

Needless to say, you end up buying something you did not want.

Dont take a taxi without the meter
You must insist that to the taxi drivers to activate the meter, if he refuses find another taxi. Taxis are everywhere and is better than be cheated.

The girls outside the groups of people
It’s better for girls to stay far from the crowds of people, specially at night in the Jamaa el Fna Square. If you enter the game, is sure to notice many unknown hands.

Use a shuttle service for the first night
If this is the first time you visit Marrakech, arriving at night and go to a riad in the medina, use the shuttle service you provide.

Save lots of trouble and not going to be much more expensive than a normal taxi.

Do not drink non-bottled water
Needless to say that you must not drink non-bottled water. Neither soft drink with ice in places “street”, because the ice is made with untreated water.
