Marrakech

Marrakech (or Marrakesh) is toward the south and inland in Morocco. It is the gateway to the Sahara. Here you will feel like you are in a traditional and an oasis desert city.

One thing to keep in mind. In Morocco, if you want to take a picture of someone’s shop or performance, it’s expected to tip or at least buy something.

Rabat is the capital city and is a little less touristy than the other cities. It is well worth a visit though. Here you can see the traditional markets and the old coastal castle. It is worth spending a day in the capital, Rabat.
