Too many pushy sellers near the main square, food was hit or miss. Would return for the riads and architecture, not for the tourist frenzy.
Hot and dusty in July, I wanted more green. Service at a few restaurants was slow, still enjoyed the markets but be ready to haggle for decent prices.
Book timed tickets for Majorelle Garden and go at opening, tour buses arrive late morning. Bring water and sunscreen, lines move much faster early.
Skip the currency booths in the medina, use the ATM in Gueliz for better rates. Carry small dirham notes, most taxis and stalls want exact change.
Streets smell of spices, riads are charming, food is incredible but the medina crowds can be suffocating. Three full days felt perfect for a first visit.
