Some people say that Fez is the nicest city in Morocco. For me is Marrakesh! Maybe the architecture and buildings is better in Fez, but Marrakesh is not only its red buildings and walls, Marrakesh is the soul of the desert, the gate of the beaches (Agadir, Essaouira), guardian of the Atlas snowy mountains... I think it resumes Morocco in just one place...
I've been there 4 times... and wouldn't mind going back again!!
I wrote a <a href=http://www.virtualtourist.com/m/.142359/article/650/17/?s=S target=_blank>travel diary</a> in this trip too, with <font color=red>watercolor drawings</font> on it.

Remember that the area of the palmeries is a flood plain. Every 70 years or so. So those expensive houses, hotels and golf courses will all be wiped out one day. Just pray for the residents and workers there at the time. Mozzies are fearsome in season.
Wonderful map and tips for "A Day @ Djema El Fnaa". Just what I'm looking for. Cheers!
Good tips for bargaining...that's what I usually and it works well :-)
