yes loads more hassle than turkey, which put my hubby off, i coped better than him and really enjoyed marrakech, he loved the trips but not the shopping side of things lol. we went for 5 days and saw all we wanted to see , ive put some photos in gallery so have a look if you havent already

Just looked at the photos, they're fab. Did you stay at the Atlas Hotel?
We are staying in a riad in the medina but I was looking for a heated hotel pool to use for an afternoon for my son. Any ideas?

yes we stayed at the atlas hotel, cant help with the heated pool as we left the kids at home, but we realised afterwards that was a mistake as i know my little daughter would have loved marrakech, with the horse and cart and open top bus trips etc

sorry..........
Are credit cards accepted or did you use mostly cash?

Thankyou

didnt try credit cards, i think cash would be easier as its tricky to even find their currency, its not like turkey where you can change everywhere, change places are very limited

We are off next week (came around quickly). Think I have sorted what to wear lol. Is it true that you can only get their currency in the country?

yes carrie that is true and not a lot of places accept sterling and change money ,we were lucky our hotel did it for us , we were advised to change some at the airport before we went into marrakech which we did

a good cheap place for eating is Chez Chegrouni, right overlooking Jem El Fnaa, good tajines , harirra etc, really good prices and views over the squuare,
