Marrakech


Cazz

Recommended Posts

I am not sure which room I should be in but I hope this is OK. I am going to Marrakech for a short break 3 days.

Looking in the guide books it appears you need to be there much longer but What would be your most highly

tipped places/retaurants to visit?

I spent 5 days in Marrakech as part of my honeymoon. It does get quite hectic so you'll probably find it's enough. The souks are great fun but there's often someone trying to send you the wrong way or take you somewhere for a fee. Cafe de France just off the main Djemaa el Fna is good to escape into for a quick drink whilst you watch the bustle from on high.


A trip to the Majorelle Gardens is a must. It is good for a bit of tranquility.


If you fancy a morning out of the city and fancy splashing out, I'd really recommend Marrakech By Air. I can't remember the guys name now, but we had a really fun time and he made us laugh a lot.


We also had one really good meal out but I forget where. If it comes back to me, I'll let you know. But for a quick cheap eat in the evenings, the food stalls in the main square are well regulated.

And be prepared that you will be approached as soon as you leave your hotel (but that's all part of the experience and I really do like the rug I ended up buying).


If buying, look through guides that will give an indication of prices before you go.

Thoroughly disappointed with the couple of restaurants we went to. I can't remember there names so no help there.


However, there were some dirty fish restaurants in the middle of the Djemaa el Fna (forgive the spelling)that are nice and allow you to soak in the atmosphere of the square.


Don't be scared by all the hassle you will get. Ignore them or if they have been part-way helpful give them a small coin.

    • Big up for the SE23 Massive!  Good discussion on their local forum (which has become a bit more interesting after being in the doldrums for a decade): https://www.se23.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=14870 The Times article is a bit (trying to think of an inoffensive word) but they and the Standard have to fill their property pages with something
    • What the Overground has done is transformed the demographics of FH.  Plenty more young families and couples.  I love the green of Forest Hill, this time of year Forest Hill is lovely - it is exploding with green everywhere. One of the other reasons we moved here is we didn't want a conversion flat and places like Penge, Forest Hill, Sydenham and Beckenham have a better range of mid century purpose built private blocks of flats - which was what we wanted for preference. Well obviously for preference we wanted a house,  but not everyone has the OPs budget 😄
    • The point I am making is that rich people will always be able to afford better things in life.  The industrialists who took over from gentleman farmers, particularly on the arrival of the railways, hardly made Dulwich into Welwyn Garden City, Saltaire or Bourneville.  Although you could argue the Dulwich Estate did something like this in parts of the village and West Dulwich in the 60s and 70s. Clean air is a relative term, cleaner air would be better.  From my understanding Clean Air Dulwich are promoting active travel and less car journeys.  Clean air for all, and One Dulwich, are principally against restrictions on drivers.  You cannot get cleaner air without some restrictions on drivers. It's fair to ask who is behind all the groups, although I sense and agenda on this thread. 
    • Ahh, you're absolutely right, I think a few of them on either side of that little green have seats outside.
