Is marrakech worth a visit or are there better options in morocco? Suggestions?
>>2873508Gross rapist country
>>2873508Marrakech and Tangier are nice. Casablanca used to be nice but is now a rundown seedy shithole. North Africans are notorious scammers and never go with female company

Fes is much better than Marrakech in terms of atmosphere, climate, and street food. Both cities are fun to go shopping for handcrafts. Fes-Chefchauen-Tangier is a good 1-week itinerary in the north, with a day trip in either Meknes or Rabat. If flying into Marrakech, then must visit the gorges, Ait Benhaddou, or just hiking in the mountains. Essaouira isn’t bad either. Skip Agadir. Tafraoute will change your life if you have time for it.
>>2873812Tangier is only good if you want to LARP as a beatnik poet, or really like looking at the ocean. Good seafood but you can find that in any coastal city. Unless you’re taking the boat to Spain it’s too far out of the way to be worthwhile IMO.Marrakech has some gems (Dar el Bacha is worthwhile if you don’t mind paying €6 for a coffee), if that’s where the cheapest flights go to then it’s just as good as anywhere. Just remember that 96% of Moroccans are kind, peaceful, and would give you the last dirham in their pocket if you ask. In Marrakech or Fes, you’re gonna meet the other 4%. Also remember Moroccan cuisine is excellent, while in Marrakech they will serve you shit on a platter.
>>2873508Great country full of shit to do. Marrakech is touristy but still very third world-ish. If I went back I’d probably explore the mountains more and visit some ancient city I can’t remember the name of. The people in Marrakech aren’t that bad. It’s just the fat ass tourists who shove their camera phones in everyone’s business without buying anything that pisses them off. And bringing a woman is fine so long as she doesn’t show off curves cleavage or shoulders (hard for western girls who are totally brain rotted sluts).
>>2873853>men can show shoulders but not womena country this retarded is not worth visitingthese people are turbo brainletsAll I think of in Morocco is the scene at the end of the movie Suddenly Last Summer where the guy is at the beach and finds a bunch of 12 year old local boys to fuck. The movie is about Elizabeth Taylor trying to prevent her cousin or uncle or something from getting lobotomized because he was threatening to tell that the dude was gay and preying on children.
>>2873859>implyingShowing shoulders as a man will not result in you getting cat called but will out yourself as a foreigner who doesn't respect customs. You seem like the turbo brainlet here anon.
Chefchaouen is cool. The Rif mountains are pretty scenic but the people up there are fucking rough. Ketama was the seediest shithole I've ever been to.
>>2873952>the people up there are fucking roughHow so? Very rural/poor or something else like trying to shake you down for money/unfriendly to outsiders?
>>2873959For context: I was there on a bicycle trip.Not a single woman to be seen in the region, only men, few with a full set of teeth. Guys of all ages just loitering around on the road, trying to chat me up. Drivers honking at me repeatedly, many of them shouting from their windows in several languages (MY FRIEND MON FRERE HOLA HERMANO) trying to sell me weed or get my money in some other fashion (COME TO MY HOUSE MY FRIEND IT'S FREE). People at stores would try to scam me charging whiteboi prices or giving too little change. In Ketama I had arranged to meet with my airbnb host in the town center. Some random dude chatted me up and pretended to be him, trying to scam me out of money or take me to God knows where. Luckily my actual host showed up shortly after. He was extremely chill and hospitable for what it's worth, an absolute lad.Due to security concerns, I had police escort me from Beni Boufrah near the coast to Targuist, following me all the way up the mountains at like 10/kmh for maybe three hours. It was pretty ridiculous. From Targuist they let me go on alone, but they set up several police checkpoints along the road to Ketama. Late at night the police checked up on me at my accomodation, making sure I was safe. Must have surveilled me without me noticing. More police checkpoints on the road to Chefchaouen the next day, with a single police car keeping tabs on me every now and then, up until after Bab Berred (pic related), from where it was all downhill to Derdara.That being said, in the end nothing really happened to me, and the region is pretty damn scenic. Elsewhere Morocco felt a lot more relaxed, and I met some genuinely friendly people too.
