The road opens up as you leave Casablanca: scrubby palms give way to ochre fields and the Atlas foothills crest the horizon. By mid-morning the city walls of Marrakech appear — a wide, sun-baked band of pink-stucco ramparts — and the cadence of the medina takes over: vendors calling, carts rolling, and the steady shuffle of a city that lives outdoors.

Start early
Leave Casablanca early to beat traffic and midday crowds in Jemaa el-Fnaa; mornings offer cooler air and better light for photos.
Cash and bargaining
Carry small-denomination dirhams for vendors and taxis; haggle respectfully in souks but have a target price in mind.
Footwear for alleys
Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip — medina alleys are uneven and can be slippery after rain.
Respect religious sites
Non-Muslim visitors usually cannot enter active mosque prayer halls; photograph exteriors and dress modestly nearby.
Comfortable walking shoes
Good soles and ankle support for cobbles and uneven medina alleys.
