Marrakesh, the beating heart of Morocco, is a vibrant city located at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Known as the "Red City" because of its sandstone buildings, Marrakesh is a sensory explosion characterized by vibrant souks, serene gardens, mesmerizing palaces, and beautiful mosques. The historic Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is packed with narrow winding streets, enchanting markets, and architectural masterpieces such as the Koutoubia Mosque and Bahia Palace. Don't miss out on the Jardin Majorelle, a lush garden and design haven created by French painter Jacques Majorelle and later owned by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. Finally, brace yourself for the lively spectacle that is Djemaa El-Fna, a square and marketplace teeming with storytellers, musicians, and vendors offering enticing Moroccan cuisine and crafts.

Couch surfing in Marrakesh offers an enriching travel experience unlike any other, presenting numerous advantages such as fostering connections with locals and fellow travelers. You're not just a visitor but a guest, welcomed into the heart of Moroccan homes, where you can engage in conversations and share meals with your hosts. This gives you a chance to imbibe the city's vibrant culture, customs, and traditions firsthand. Moreover, it provides a unique lens through which to view the authentic Marrakesh, beyond the typical tourist spots, rendering your travel experience unforgettable.

Had a great time in Marrakech, the food is unrivalled and staying in the Medina you are close to everything you could ever want. I used the taxis with no problem too. Have been to Marrakech 4 times now

I was on a solo trip in Marrakesh and stayed in Riad. Joined some day trips via GetYourGuide and Viator. I felt very safe, the people were absolutely wonderful, and I’d definitely recommend visiting. Such a beautiful place.

Marrakesh felt a little unsafe as a woman. Especially in Medina all the salesmen wanted our attention and called after us. So be prepared for that. However, the cheapest food we found was in Medina and Place Jemaa el fna. 

It helps if you know the language or walk with a man and it was more calm outside Medina. Otherwise everyone was really nice and helpful. They also charge tourist a lot more for taxi than locals so try to get to know the real prices and bargain. 

After all Marrakesh is full of different interesting places to visit and I really recommend you to go.
