We went in Summer, it's an eye opener, quite likes the place was not impressed with some of the Animal Cruelty though

The square at night reminded me of how Manchester, London etc might have been in the late 1800's!
Fantastic experience and the locals are no problem at all - you just have to be firm not insipid and don't be shy in dishing-out a few dirhams for service - there's a lot of people competing for the tourists $ and are pretty poor compared to most of us.
As you can see from the sights/things to do in this thread alone - you will have a fantastic four days!

There are pick pockets in Amsterdam (and Manchester), and some dutch and english are "filthy scum", but it doesn't apply to everyone in any of the cities.MaineDAWG2008 said:careful. there are criminals walking the street near the square and a great deal of pick pocketing. my pops had his wallet taken out of his pocket whilst he was trying to board a bus from the square. turned around and saw the prick run off.

Take sensible precautions and you'll be fine, been to Morocco three times, and never had a problem apart from the hire car radio nicked, and that was my fault for not using a car park.
And the tipping advice is very good, you'll have an even better time if you give tips.

Don't change too much money, they ran out of sterling at the airport (so they said) and changed out into Euros!

I think I know more about Moroccans than u do. I literally live with them, my area is full if them in Amsterdam. U cant get more Moroccans in Amsterdam than in Slotermeer. Google it. They are scums, iv had 2 breaks ins in my appt, one guy trying to stab me, a car break in all in the space of 12 months! Coincidence? Don't think so. Even the dutch natives hate em. And i don't blame em. Scums, and u think uk has got it bad with immigrants. U aint seen nothing i assure u. They claim dole over here whilst living the life in morocco. They live off stealing from dutch and expats. Try going to groningen, worse than Bradford I tell u. Much much worse. BTW im Asian! They dont give a f**k.
On the subject on Marrakesh. Been there twice, my opinion only, would never go there again nor would I recommend it. Pickpocket was the first, second I was followed by some random Moroccan who wanted to sell drugs to me.

Thanks for the help, I'll make a note to ask you for travel advice for every place I visit from now on, since you have in depth knowledge of Amsterdam, its sure to be really helpful, in fact I wish I'd asked you about Amsterdam 4 weeks ago, I would have had a much shitter time than I did.MaineDAWG2008 said:I think I know more about Moroccans than u do.
