hi Guys... My girlfriend and i are heading to marrakech on the 22 May for four nights. what places should we def go and see or what day trips should we definitely do?? Are the camel rides cool? so excited....good sugestions would be most welcome please... Thanks Cormac
Essaouira & Safi will make a good round trip for a day escape from Marrakech but you will be better of hiring a car than relying on local buses for a day trip. Safi is about 2 hours away and Essaouira about another 90mins down the coast but well worth the trip. From Essaouira back to Marrakech is 3 hours. check out my pages on these places.

Spend time in the Jamaa el Fna. Great time is early evening - get a seat at an upstairs cafe and watch all the action below. Try some of the unusual foods from the stalls and wander the souks (bargain hard!). The mosque La Koutoubia is across from the JEF. The gardens around it are really nice but no entry into the mosque. Wander all the streets and alleys around the JEF as well. Musee Dar Si Said was an interesting museum. Go to a hammam! I'd recommend Hammam Ziani - it was fantastic!!! Our wonderful riad was located in the Kasbah - great neighborhood. The Tombeaux Saadiens and the Mosque of the Kasbah are in the area. The Musee de Marrakesh is stunning. The Medersa Ben Youssef and the Kpubba Almoravide are near the museum. The Palais De La Bahia is another beautiful place. You won't run out of things to see in Marrakesh. It is fascinating. Be sure to have a tagine dish and mint tea!! (Further info and descriptions of the above mentioned are on my Marrakesh page.) Have a great time!

Try Essaouira you find mini bus trips in jamaa el fna Sq, the prices are better for presents, the art work is amazing.

We enjoyed the evening at Chez Alli, dinner in a huge tent, entertainment, followed by Berber Horsemen giving a show outdoors. Very popular. See photos on my page and you can decide whether it is your sort of evening. I think there is a travelogue as well.
