Morocco Morocco Raiders and Tips

Just returned from colorful Morocco, my mind is still full of scenery and cheerful Arabic music. This trip is really great, very happy and successful. Recently, many friends have asked about this trip, and some friends are about to leave, so I want to share some of the freshest suggestions and useful tips here for the convenience of all who want to see the scenery there. And the city route Marrakech Marrakech is the first choice for all those who go to Morocco.

Of course, Casablanca is also famous (but many people who have been to Casablanca will find it a bit different and boring compared with its world-famous level). Many people who go to Morocco actually want to see the beautiful scenery of the Sahara desert. Although Morocco has only a small piece of Western Sahara desert, compared with other war-torn North African countries, it is the safest and most convenient entrance from Europe to the Sahara. In addition, the ancient city of Fez, which has always been low-key, is also a popular tourist destination. The Arab settlement here is the largest existing Islamic ancient city in the world, and there are also many famous smelly leather dyeing houses.

In addition, there are many popular towns, such as chefchaouen, a blue mountain town, and Sovilla, a coastal city. Various evaluations are different. In short, there are too many tourists, so be prepared. Ok, then share our little feelings this time: safety: travel safety first! I want to say that I was worried before. North Africa has been very chaotic recently. We two girls walked around with backpacks on our backs, worried about the danger. During our stay in Morocco, Libya played very hard, but I really didn't feel anything in Morocco. Instead, I had a good time. Morocco is a country whose main income is tourism. The tourism industry in some big cities is relatively mature, so it also ensures the safety of tourists.

So don't worry at all. On the contrary, people are extroverted by nature, men are very open and enthusiastic, and women are relatively conservative. Accommodation (Marrakech, Fez): The most important thing in traveling is accommodation. Africa is a distant and unfamiliar country, so many people have booked their rooms early, so they feel safe. Personally, I like to look for it later, because many years of backpacking experience tell me that it is always easy to find many hotels and youth hostels in places where tourists are concentrated. In fact, don't worry, there are always many hotels in the city where there is no place to stay. This experience is really effective and economical in Morocco, because not only Marrakech and Fez, but also youth hostels can be seen everywhere in the old city with more tourists, with obvious signs. Of course, many tour guides will ask you if you want to see the house. In fact, they don't have to refuse, and they are not necessarily liars. We just saw two BB hotels, both of which were changed in our own rooms. The room is ok, but the location is not the best, so there is no requirement, no swearing and no tipping.

In Marrakech, because the sun was too hot to walk on the day we arrived, we found a random one next to Djamaa El Fna Plaza, because the location was too convenient and it was state-owned (no guests, no fake tour guides, no advertisements from travel agencies, no massage pimps, excellent location, large area and good light in the yard). All the rooms are single/double/triple rooms. But the bathroom and bathtub are public rooms. The roof has a good view, and you can see the Altas Snow Mountain and the corner of Djamaa El Fna Square. Later, at the door, I happened to meet a friend who had contacted before and arrived in Taiwan Province Province that day.

They also moved to our house. It is really fate. They originally booked another one online in advance, but they gave it up because of the inconvenient location and the difference between the online price and the on-site price. In some old cities with more tourists and Medina, such as Marrakech and Fez, the best way is to look again, because the online price is really cheap, and the site is generally cheaper. And it's hard to find a way. Even if you book online, when you arrive, you can't find your hotel without a taxi and directions, and it will take a lot of time. Some places say they can pick you up at the airport, but the cost of picking you up is also included in the accommodation fee. (Of course, this is for backpackers with a budget.

If you have enough money and want to make a luxurious and comfortable trip, you can skip this paragraph. Then, recommend a friend with a budget. We found this in the square on the first day. Single room 60 days/night (almost 5.5 euros), double room 120 DH/ night, triple room 180 DH/ night. The main recommendation reason is that the location is too good and super convenient. And the bedding is very clean (every room is different, we have pink walls, big beds with green sheets and old wooden cabinets, and the overall style is the feeling of Moroccan state-owned hotels. For the sake of overall neatness and comfort, the price should not be too high). The room is sunny all day! The bad thing is the public toilet, which I don't like very much. Then the facilities are a little old and too close to the square.

In the evening, the concert peddled in the square lasted until 12, but we were all tired and fell asleep. The information is as follows (this is mainly convenient, spacious and bright, much cheaper than our budget, and is not recommended by demanding backpackers). MARHABA Hotel (MARHABA means hello in Arabic) Address: No.44 Banques Street, Marrakech, Medina, Morocco. There is an Internet access point next door, 7DH/H, but the keyboard is Arabic, so it is a little different to use. The front desk is a simple Moroccan named Omar Bouguela. He is super simple. He can help you buy authentic local breakfast and mint tea, as well as cuscus with tacchini.

What they buy is super delicious (much more delicious than what they sell to tourists in the square! The food we ate in the square was delicious. They bought it at the local price. He also gave us a map of Marrakech, which I thought we could get where there was map information (but later I went to the store to see the original map, which was 30DH, the price was not high, but I was very moved) and told us the scenic spots that we couldn't miss. But he only speaks French and Arabic. Stay in Festus. We just finished our trip to the Sahara and sat in a big taxi for eight hours. We are exhausted. In Fez, we are too lazy to look for hotels everywhere.

So I followed the local guide to see two hotels near Babbou Jielude at the Gate of Firth. The second one was so satisfied that I decided to stay at once. Recommend that we stay in FES. This is a comfortable and great location. Super beautiful! Babu Jerud is a symbol of the old town of Fez, an ancient city gate. All tourists visit the old town of Fez from here, so it's best to live near here (there is a youth hostel called castell at the gate, but it is often full). Our hotel is in a person's home. Their house is very beautiful. The owner transformed it into a family hotel called famille korriche. The host lives in the lobby on the first floor. There are five rooms, one downstairs and four upstairs.

Every room is super local style. We require three rooms for six people, one room for two people, 250DH/ room/night, so one room. Each room has an Arabian princess bed (pink, red and blue. Different styles), carpet, oversized sofa, TV, DVD player, private bathroom and free WIFI access. The first floor is a pink suite, which is super beautiful. The host said that it can also accommodate three people, and the area is larger. The others can accommodate two people, all of which are super-large sofas. The location of this house is also very good, just behind the mosque opposite the gate of Babujerud. Walk for 2 minutes, it's quiet! The shopkeeper's daughter speaks fluent English and is very friendly. Her mother and grandmother only speak French.

Besides, her mother and grandmother can help you cook in the kitchen. Breakfast is 20 hours, and dinner 100 hours. The information is as follows: Famille Korrichedar Lala Bouchra Bouchralogement Chezl Habitat Address: Kasbet Boujloudn:153/2 Festival: (00212). 55638908 a Marrakech Airport-href = mailtoarbouchra @ gmail.comdarbouchra @ gmail.com-urban shuttle bus. After you leave the airport, you can see the 19 bus on the left. It says airport-Centreville. It is easy to find. It is a circle. The one-way fare is 20 degrees, and the round-trip fare is 30 degrees. People who take the bus for the first time need not be afraid.

Basically, everyone gets off at jemaa el fnaa (0/5 minutes from the airport/kloc-). The station is on the edge of a small garden. Through the garden is the big square. You can get on the bus at the same place when you go back to the airport, but it takes 25 minutes to get back to the airport. The second big stop is CTM bus station, and you will also pass by the railway station. Depart from the airport-downtown at 6: 30 in the morning and leave every 30 minutes until 2 1: 00 in the evening. The earliest boarding time from downtown-airport and jemaa el fnaa Grand Plaza is 6: 15, which runs every 30 minutes until 2:1:15 in the evening.

A small taxi goes to the airport by 50DH bus, while a big taxi is more expensive. Drivers in Marrakech don't want to dial the meter when they see foreigners, so they have to bargain before getting on the bus. Taxis are usually used for traffic at bus stops. In fact, the railway station is not far from the big square. We were hacked by the driver for the first time. The railway station called a taxi to the grand square and said it would cost 50DH. Later, the price dropped to 30DH. Because we are so tired, we don't have to worry. In fact, the local people say 10- 12DH. The same situation is much better in FES. We took a taxi from the gate of Fez Old Town to Fez Railway Station. We got on the bus and the driver hit the meter without asking. A * * * is 9.3DH, and we gave 10DH as a tip.

The CTM bus station in Marrakech is next to the old city gate. You can take bus 15 directly from jemaa el fnaa square, which takes about 5-8 minutes. The bus in Marrakech is very convenient, and the fare is 3.5DH. Get on the bus and get off at the airport bus stop. There are also 1, 4, 16 buses over there. Bus No.5 can go to the beautiful JARDIN MAJORELLE Garden (you can ask the driver or the person next to you where to get off, which is very convenient). Marrakech (price, accommodation, attractions, souvenirs. ) This city is definitely a tourist. Even the locals say it is the most visited city. As can be seen from the price, a hamburger in KFC costs 38DH (equivalent to 3.5 euros for a hamburger). This price is nothing like Africa.

Eating in the square is easier to be hacked. For example, the foundation of any tower is 50-70DH, and it is super small. White rice and cuscus are both side dishes of 10-20DH, while mutton skewers and seafood are just cheap. The asking price is good, but some shopkeepers have super bad attitudes. Because the names of the first few dishes are unfamiliar, we should consider them. What a bad attitude! The famous snails have a small bowl of 3DH and a big bowl of 5DH. In fact, the big bowl is not big, and the small bowl is simply a microcosm. The taste is extraordinary, with the taste of traditional Chinese medicine. In Marrakech, a cup of mint tea is between 5DH and 20dh. If he gives you a drink, you will spend less1.5dh. If it's a pot and a cup, the price will be a little more expensive. Of course, prices will be different in different places.

Breakfast pancakes are sold to tourists for five days, and boys may need two to get full, but once the locals helped me buy only 2DH pancakes (in Fez, the same pancake can be bought for five days, which is three times as big as one). A cup of freshly squeezed juice is 4dh in the square, which is fair, but all the juices sold by tourists in the square are filled with a lot of water. Later, we went to many juice shops, and many local people were drinking. Super concentrated mango milkshake, avocado avocado milkshake, strawberry milkshake. You can choose one or two fruits to shake together, or a fruit with milk is delicious. Extra-thick and extra-thick fruit has a lot of pulp, and the price is at. You can find an authentic fruit milkshake shop in the alley near Malaka Square.

The sign is that the store is full of fresh fruits, and many local people read newspapers while drinking, which is more authentic. Not only a group of European and American tourists with yellow hair are sitting there looking at maps and LP) Recommended attractions in Marrakech: JARDIN MAJORELLE Garden is the most recommended, and it can be reached by taking 15 road 10 minutes from the square station. There is a business center where you get off, which says centre comeciale. Underground is a huge supermarket, like Carrefour. At first, we just wanted to see the price of the local supermarket. Later, I found many interesting snacks, such as fruit milk, salmon with tomato sauce, authentic Moroccan beer and red wine to try, mint tea to give away, and some snacks that I have never tasted.

The price is of course reasonable). When you get off the 15 bus, you have to follow the foreigners to find the entrance. It takes about 3-5 minutes to walk. This is a very beautiful tropical garden. Admission is 40 days and the museum is 60 days. The souvenir shop inside is a bit expensive but awesome! In fact, if you plan to go to the mosque in Fez, you don't have to go. Fez's more beautiful Marrakech Museum Mausoleum and Mosque joint ticket is valid for 60 days, and the museum single ticket is valid for 40 days. In fact, there are not many things in the museum, and the interior of the main building is worth seeing. It is the transformation of the palace, and the layout of the house is very clear. Nothing interesting to recommend. Personally, I feel very ordinary.
