"Marrakech - For a few Dirhams more ! " a Marrakesh Travel Page by MichaelFalk1969

Marrakech: smells, colours, noise, heat, dust, and a whirlwind of humanity in between. The mere name of the city itself radiates images of the exotic orient.

Marrakech: A historic city that you have to get used to, as it can be fascinating and enjoyable yet annoying and intimidating at the same time. For me, this contrast was the biggest attraction of Marrakech: Like plunging into the chaotic Souk or Djemaa al Fnaa square, and then returning to the quiet solitude of your riad.

The attitude of (some) locals to consider any tourist as a walking wallet ("hello my friend - where are you from - welcome to morocco - special price, only today") and their faked friendliness sometimes distracts from the beauty of Marrakech, but it`s no big deal in my opinion. It is part of the experience, get used to it!
