3 Days Travel in Marrakech, Morocco 2024 🇲🇦 - Things to do

BUDGET TRIP THINGS TO KNOW/RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE

1. Sim cards are available for purchase outside the arrivals area. £20/€20 for 20gb of data. It is recommended to pay in local currency as it is cheaper; 200MAD for 20gb.

2. Majority of places accept only cash.

3. Currency converter is available just after immigration check. Cards are accepted or bring some currency from your departing destination to start out with. Throughout the city there are several cash machines and transaction fees are about 35MAD. From my experience, exchange rates are better outside the airport.

4. Be aware of the currency value; my rule was £1=12MAD. Haggling is the culture so being aware of what is being charged will help you know when you are being ripped off.

5. You will stand out and locals will know you are a tourist. Locals will be friendly and ready to offer help and be your tour guide; well known review that this comes at a cost.

6. Driving is on the Right Hand Side. Crossing roads can be complex.

7. Like any other trip, it is cheaper to travel with a friend, family or partner.

8. Departing from Marrakech Airport, there are lots of exhaustive security checks.

9. Be aware of sellers inviting you inside their shops. It can get somewhat hostile quickly. If you go out at late evening/night, be aware of kids approaching and following you for money/food.

10. Plan your days and know the route you intend to take. A lot of attractions are within 15-25 minutes walk from each other. You can easily get 30k steps within a day.

11. Make sure to try the tea! Local food! Try to enjoy your trip as much as possible!
