La Palette. The food was terrific and the service was friendly and spot on. They have very cool and unique decor with botanicals everywhere.
A hot air balloon ride is a must.
The Riad Irdra is such a romantic place to stay and the Riad Kaiss is a beautiful authentic taste of Morocco.

Riad Utopia was perfect for families, quiet, large clean family suite, amazing staff, pool and restaurant.
Loved the Koranic school, make sure you hire a guide to take you through the souks. You will learn and see so much more than if you do it on your own.
Ensure your riad has a pool and a restaurant for a break from the heat and snacks for kids.
Terrase de epices!
La Place! At night!
Do what you can go make it out to Richard Branson’s Kasbah Tamadot for a couple nights. Only an hour outside Marrakech. Maybe the most romantic place ever!

Cafe des Epices is a really cool cafe in the heart of the medina with a wonderful rooftop terrace with views of the city and the square below. The food is really nice and fresh, too. Try one of their "mocktails" which are really more like smoothies.
Shopping in the souks and in boutique shops around the medina. Sensory overload!
Pack an empty suitcase and do not pack too many clothes from home. If you are like me, you will end up buying really cool clothes in Marrakech and regret having brought too many things from home. I easily filled up an extra suitcase to take souvenirs home.
Exploring the Djema El Fna square is a must!

Walking is not the easiest to stay on high alert for mopeds! For women, dress conservatively and wear sunglasses.

In Marrakesh, let yourself get lost (within reason) in the souks and soak in the local atmosphere. I also recommend taking a food tasting tour as fun way to really see what the city has to offer!

Try everything. Pay attention to detail. And embrace the culture of the amazing Moroccan people.

Marrakech has so many hidden gems! As long as you’re prepared, don’t be afraid to explore and even get a little lost. People were nicer than expected and feeling safe to explore really led us to a lot oof unexpected adventures!

Jemaa el-fnaa, Bahia Palace, and the Majorelle Gardens are must sees! We loved dining poolside underneath the stars at our riad, La Sultana. Also, the day trip to ride camels in the Agafay desert was so much fun!

Be prepared to get lost in the Medina. Just know that no matter what, it is going to happen. Embrace every mistaken twist and turn.
Take a cooking class with Souk Cuisine!
The best way to get the full Marrakesh experience is just to get lost wandering through the souks in the old medina. Every alleyway has something different to offer - different goods and picture-worthy backdrops. For a break, find a rooftop terrace (we liked Nomad) and enjoy a glass of delicious orange juice or mint tea!

For Marrakech - get lost! There is so much to see and the people are very friendly toward tourists. Also eat lots of tagine and bargain in the souks :)
I would say not to be deterred by the crowds of people and the people on motorbikes weaving through everywhere. It's just people going about their day, just like you and me.
Marrakesh and all of Morocco are one of the most picturesque places we have ever visited. The country is colourful and absolutely vibrant. An element of Marrakesh not captured in photos is the hustle and bustle of the souks and the medina. You will be hustled, but that is half the fun! Get your bearings and be comfortable walking around the souks and the market square. Be prepared to haggle as this goes along with the local culture, and is expected by the local merchants. Try to learn a few words in Arabic and engage in conversations with the locals. Dress appropriately out of respect for the local customs. Indulge in their scrumptious tagine and couscous, and have fresh squeezed OJ every chance you get! We spent almost two weeks travelling through the Sahara and Southern Morocco, and the diversity of this country's landscape was absolutely mind blowing. We explored busy cities; drove through the Atlas mountains; slept in the desert; walked in and around the kasbahs, the gorge and valleys; surfed in the coast; and visited some world-famous mosques. The sights, the smells, the sounds and the tastes here --- it is a kaleidoscope of humanity. Put Morocco on your list!
