Wahnsinnig bunte Märkte, heftige Hitze im Juli, Essen großartig wenn du dich von den Touristenständen entfernst, bleib mindestens 3 Tage um es aufzusaugen.
Translated from English ·
Medina-Nächte sind magisch, Gewürze und Riads wirkten unwirklich. Essensstände schlagen feine Restaurants im Geschmack, aber erwartet Menschenmengen am Platz.
Translated from English ·
Iss abends nicht am Jemaa el-Fnaa, geh drei Straßen nach Osten und du findest günstigere Tajines. Besuch den Bahia-Palast früh, um den Reisegruppen zu entgehen.
Translated from English ·
Ich liebte die Riads und ruhigen Innenhöfe, aber seid auf aggressive Händler in der Medina gefasst, nach zwei langen Tagen war ich überfordert.
Translated from English ·
Essen war unglaublich, Tajines und Minztee jeden Tag, aber Bargeld ist König und ich ging schneller durch Scheine als gedacht.
