Touch and run - Beautiful square and stalls of all kinds then in the evening even more beautiful and full of people, in January we found a nice climate was not cold at all 18 degrees.

Beautiful, colorful, vibrant, and watch out for scams. - Vibrant and beautiful! A must visit in Morocco. The bazaar is so colorful and full of beautiful stores and great foods. Be prepared for crowded streets and motorbikes. People are lovely, but be aware of people coming to you after you leave the hotel, saying they just got off work at the hotel you just left, and saying they are headed to the Medina, but will show you where to go for shopping. I really thought this man was an employee of the hotel and was headed home, but was just showing us the way to the Medina and some reputable stores. Do not fall for it! It happened to us three times when we walked out of the hotel!

You don't need a guide, you can visit it yourself with Google Maps yes!!! - It was me and my wife, we always saw that I needed a guide and that Google doesn't work! Lentira, Google works perfectly, guided us to all places within the Medina of Marrakech, and not only is it, but in all medianas of Morocco! Go without fear! Of course the work of a guide is genuine, because it will explain things that you alone would not know, but if you want to go for yourself, search first, mark on Google Maps, put the navigation on foot and be happy!!!!!

Labyrinth full of life - The old town is full of life. We find everything from local crafts to products made in china! Do not hesitate to walk through the small labyrinths of alleys to come across rare pearls. I think it is good to take a guide to appreciate the medina as well as possible.

Sensory Overload! - We visited the souks many times during our stay It helped to have a guide one day and he was able to show us things and places we never would have seen on our own. The souks are sensory overload but definitely worth wandering around. Loved the man who sells sand coffee like the Berbers in the desert make. The worst part of the souks is the zooming motorbikes which you constantly have to avoid while walking. We did not find as many scammers looking to guide you for money as in Fez. Instead found locals to be very helpful.

Wonderful experience - The medina of Marrakech is beautiful. The centre of the city is fascinating and like nothing I’ve ever seen or experienced before. We had a guide help us navigate the souks which was really helpful. The souks are beautiful. The architecture of buildings is exquisite. I’d love to visit again one day.

A must go - Just take some time to walk around and see all the narrow roads with all the shops around. Feel free to ask for some details, the vendors are nice people.

TO AVOID IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A QUIET WALK/SHOP - The medina of Marrakech is massacred by thousands of mopeds that allow themselves to circulate there permanently when it is forbidden. It’s simply unbearable, they go very fast, it’s dangerous, and the smell of exhaust pipes in narrow and sometimes covered alleys is permanent. You can’t stroll quietly, stop in the shops, you always have to be on the alert. We try to hide from all this mess by climbing on terraces. Unlike other “normal” cities we try to avoid the city center by passing through the big peripheral boulevards!! It’s a shame because the streets could really have charm and there could be a Good Mood but you can never be relaxed.

Canister - It took time to digest but when I see comments on the internet I recognize myself so much! What a rotten city! We visited Marrakech last June, we had lived in wait in the souk by false guides, if I did not give 80 €, it went in a fight 1:3. Scams don’t talk about it, from any point of view.. Shopkeepers, taxis, false guides etc, thefts, assaults, insults. We're seen as cattle. The smells, it stinks, the waste I explain not even it is dirty. Even in their way of negotiating they are aggressive. We have made many trips but this destination to banish. I don't recommend this destination to everyone around me. Avoid giving them money, they will understand that WE tourists, we allow them to feed and live.

Catastrophic!! - There were three of us going, me with my girlfriend and a friend. They wanted to take a doughnut on arrival, the two Moroccan front paid 5 dirhams each and arrived in our turn the doughnut had gone to 20 dirhams!! So needless to say, we paid like the ladies before us. So yes it's nice, it's nice, the old and real craftsmen are very well but unfortunately practically non-existent and as for the rest, how to say, all the same "shops" with supposedly craftsmanship that is actually purely made in China with the quality that goes with it and prohibitive prices, even when discussing the price you find the same things in France or on the net for much less. And besides, when we make the point and they are young people strangely they find a very French accent and speak badly to you. As for safety with motorized vehicles that passes at full speed we did not find it very folkloric!! In short look at what you want unless of course it is real artisana and order on the internet. So for us bad experience, it's not MARRAKECH but Arnaquekech...
