Short guide to Morocco

Morocco is a wonderful place...great sites, great beaches and amazing shopping!!! ;)

I found that it helps if u know French or Arabic as not much English is spoken there..apart from the tourist places such as Marrakesh and Agadir and the bigger cities. The Arabic phrase I think will come in much use (if your a girl) is 'Emshi!' -meaning go away....when you visit Morocco you will know why this word comes in much use!

Shopping in Marrakesh

In Morocco the price of all things is bartered for, so don't be afraid to try it! The general rule is to go half and then a bit less than that of the asking price.

I'm sure you all seen the Apprentice episode in which Alan Sugar sent the wannabe apprentices to Marrakesh? If not check it out !

Marrakesh is a place for those who love to spend agesss haggling over the price bartering...the apprentices were sent to the bargaining capital of the world (i reckon anyway :P) to test out their skills...do you think you can match them??

Necklace Heaven!!

CD Shop

With tourists flocking to Marrakesh, and even celebrities, it tends to be much more expensive than other places in Morocco; so if you can, explore different cities, where you can witness the real beauty of Morocco.

Moroccan Fashion

Traditional Moroccan dress is the Kaftan....when i went Morocco I saw some georgous ones, such as the ones below. They come in different styles and sizes and can be adjusted to fit you.

If you haggle well, you can get a good deal!

Wedding kaftans are so elegant and gorgeous!!


Ourika Valley


Not far from Marrakesh this place offers a cool haven away from the heat of the city. Driving through the Atlas Mountains you can stop off and go for a camel ride. At Ourika Valley why not climb to a beautiful waterfall whilst enjoying a delicious meal of tagine- a traditional Moroccan dish.
