tips for Marrakesh that I wish I’d known before 🌵

[W_soph]

I'm moroccan and a tampon user as well. You can find them in supermarkets and pharmacies. The Medina is very touristy...not the ideal the place for groceries and running errands.

Tapons are everywhere in Morocco but not in the Medina. The medina stores are not really convenient. They are mostly for tourism. The pharmacy and supermarket is the place to go for those

Your tip about money is so spot on! I wish someone had told me earlier! Changing money at the Airport was a complete rip off! I changed 1 GBP at the rate of 7MAD! When it should be about 12 Moroccan Dirhams! I should have just come here and withdrew money as the bank rates are a lot better!

Having been to Marrakesh- These are great! I also came on my period early- half way into the mountains on an excursion 🙃

When you go to the square and watch ANYTHING (there is a lot to watch) you are expected to pay something. Don't take photos of anything, you must pay. And they will hassle the hell out of you. But if you just walk around they will leave you alone.

Great advice - recently had a brilliant week in Marrakech and had exactly the same experience getting ripped off exchanging money in Stanstead Airport

If taking a taxi - agree a price before you set-off on trip. I loaded up my Wise card with DAM so I didn’t need to carry so much cash whilst there. If arriving at the airport and being met by a taxi company - you will probably be met outside the Airport and not by the baggage machine. Expect to take a long time to get through passport control. Hope that your baggage is still there on carousel! Go in March - very pleasant weather! Also it’s worth buying a SIM card - a got an Orange SIM card with 10GB on it for £43 from Amazon. You won’t get wifi everywhere and if you get lost in the Souks you will need Google maps to help you out. Final tip - get a VPN to protect your identity.

Lmao you looked for tampons in the medina, it's the historig part, go to the modern one or to some supermarkets

[mkmk]

On exchanging money- we took some cash with us and exchanged it there- got good rates and the rate was the same at all the exchange bureau’s in medina

[catiesteas]

I was thinking of taking cash this weekend, so I will take my bank card instead. Thanks. Redraw money from the cash machine instead. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Useful tip in general, never exchange currency at the airport!! no matter what currency you're exchanging it will always be rip off
