The feel of Marrakech
Marrakech is Morocco at full volume: lantern-lit souks, garden courtyards, rooftop dinners, and the constant theatre of Jemaa el-Fnaa. It is a brilliant base for first-time visitors because culture, food, design, nightlife, and Atlas Mountain day trips are all within easy reach.

Use fixed meeting points near the medina because cars cannot enter many lanes.
Visit gardens early to avoid heat and tour groups.
