- Medina of Marrakesh - Marrakech is a city located in central Morocco, inland, at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. It is nicknamed the “red city” or the “ocher city” in reference to the red color of a large part of its buildings and houses. The city was founded in 1071 by Youssef ben Tachfine, at the head of the Berber Empire of the Almoravids. In the past, Morocco was known in the East as Marrakech (still relevant in Iran); the name Morocco comes from the deformation of the Portuguese pronunciation of Marrakech: Marrocos. Marrakech has 928,850 inhabitants according to the 2014 census, spread over an area of 230 km2. The population density reaches 350 inhabitants per hectare in the Medina.

Beware of motorbikes! - A fun place to walk through. Unlike the Medina in Fez, the alleyways in Marrakesh are wide enough for motorbikes/motorcycles/ scooters and you will see a lot of them zipping around. The drivers are good at avoiding hitting people, but I did see some real close calls.
I did not feel unsafe, but the group I was traveling with had our guide plus we picked up another person who walked behind us to protect our rear. We went early which was good because it was cooler and less crowded, but not all stalls were open yet.

Stroll and get lost in the alleys - This is the ride you shouldn't miss. Stroll through alleyways, shop, meet locals and chat with them.
I had doubts about security, but in reality the city is safe even for tourists.

Stress-Free Way to Get Around Marrakech - I just got back from Marrakech last week and wanted to share a quick tip for anyone worried about taxis (like I was). I ended up using this app called wetaxi.ma someone at the airport actually recommended it when I asked about the best way to get into town.
It’s apparently the official one approved by the local authorities, and all the drivers are registered, which made me feel a lot more comfortable, especially as a solo traveler. I used it a few times once from the airport, and another time back to my riad near Jemaa el-Fna worked great both times. No haggling, fixed prices, and the drivers were super professional.
I also heard they’re going to start offering rides within the city soon, not just for airport pickups, which would be amazing. If that’s true, it might become the best way to get around without the usual stress. Just wanted to share in case it helps someone else planning a trip!

Walking guided tour of the old town. - We did the walking tour with a lovely group of people and a great guide taking us to the tombs, bahia palace, showing us many sights and sharing history as we went. We had a lovely lunch and then ended in the medina and having a little time to explore on our own before meeting up again and heading back to the transport provided. We felt safe and comfortable with our guide helping to make sure we were not taken advantage of whilst purchasing from the souks. I believe he was called Safi (sorry if I have the name wrong, I'm terrible with names, he's in the pictures) all in all me and my mum enjoyed the experience. Was a long day of walking but an incredible experience we wouldn't have done on own. Would 100% recommend. We booked through jet2.

Must see..... - Must visit to the medina, but expect to elbow through its narrow alleys where there are the souks, but outside to the local homes no worries.

Mixed opinion - Marrackesh has many treasures hidden behind its doors with more magnificent riads than each other. Most of the inhabitants are rather friendly even if as in all the big cities it is necessary to remain vigilant. Restaurants have an extremely variable quality / price ratio, be well informed before settling. The excursions are well organized. The pollution generated by the passage of mobile phones through the narrow alleys of the center is a real problem already for the health of exhibitors of the souk but also for tourism. The central square is disappointing with finally 30 fruit vendors and that unsavory tourist traps on the central part, it is a shame. For my part, I was waiting for a highlight of the local craftsmanship that is really remarkable.

NEVER AGAIN - I went on holiday to Marrakech with my mother, thinking about spending a pleasant and exotic week. Unfortunately, our stay was anything but relaxing.
We were verbally assaulted several times by men in the street. I myself have been the victim of sexual assault, and we have been followed and harassed several times.
Marrakech? More like “Arnakesh”, as some say, but in our case it was much worse.
If you are a woman and traveling alone or with women, be extremely vigilant.
A tip: always look around, in front, behind, on the sides. If you need to consult your GPS, stand against a wall with your back protected, and never let your guard down.
And for those who love animals, avoid the Medina if you are sensitive: on each alley, you will meet hungry, scared, sometimes dying kittens. A real heartbreaker.
I don’t wish anyone that kind of experience. Stay careful, and protect yourself.

Filthy and smelly - I was looking forward to visiting Marskesh and the medina, but was very disappointed with what I saw and experienced. The medina is filthy and smelly. The locals sell meat covered in flies, the meat is not in fridges, it just lies there on display. There's a stench of rotten meat mixed, guts of fish or possibly other animals lying around. Lack of hygiene when handling food.

Horrible. - Experience totally ruined by the over-representation of 2 wheels in the streets of the Medina.
It's impossible to stroll or stop because you have to be on your guard all the time.
There is an urgent need to ban motorcycles/cyclos in this place
