In Marrakech, the focal point is Jemma el- Fna. That is the main square that you usually see in photos or films. It is an overdose for all of our senses! Sights, sounds, smells, so many people, and so much happening, you don't know where to look first. It is a must for any tourist. If you are not up to going alone, have a guide.

Beyond this area is the old city. Very interesting. You need a good guide book or a good guide person.

Marrakech is the desert, surrounded by red mountains.

I don't think any posters here would go on their own. The locals are a big bother. They hound you. Their goal is to rip you off, any immaginative way they can.

If I were on a ship that stopped in Casablanca, and I had never been to Morocco, this would be my choice. It is very exotic. The drive should be interesting. (we didn't drive this particular route). It is amazing that you see shepherds, in long robes and walking sticks (like pictures in a child's biblical storybook) walking along the road.

I will return to this site from time to time, to see if anyone has any particular questions.
