Things I'm glad I packed...

Luggage and bags: It's good to bring a strong structured suitcase with you to Marrakesh if you plan to purchase somewhat fragile goods from the souks. We managed to fit several beautiful metal lamps and sconces as well as an antique shelf in ours. I'm glad I didn't listen to the husband who wanted to travel with large duffle bags, these items might not have made it home in one piece!

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: While Marrakesh is HOT during the day (we were here in late April/early May) it is downright CHILLY at night. And I did NOT pack the right shoes (closed toe or boots) and sweaters for this. I definitely advise a couple of long-sleeve sweaters and a lightweight jacket for the evenings.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: We brought tissues and they came in handy in some WCs. We also brought sunscreen (tons of sun here). Band aids (I blister easily!). Medicine in case our stomachs got upset after eating in the food stalls, drinking from the rinsed OJ glasses, etc. Wet Ones are always nice to have to freshen up with when you're far from the riad on a hot Marrakesh day.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
