am probably heading out on 20th for 9 days. am thinking flights to and from marrakesh, car hire, 7 nights in agadir (bit of a tourist dump i hear but can just use it as a base and explore in the car, taking advantage of the cheap accomodation there), then two in a nice marrakesh riad before returning. anyone been? tips?

 Yep......never trust a Moroccan.

i'm going in october so let me know some good shit!

A woman at work is marrying a Moroccan, he's their national heavyweight champ I think.

Anyway, you can fly directly into Agadir but the flights are less frequent and more expensive than flying to Marrakesh. For the best deals on flights try Royal Air Maroc (http://www.royalairmaroc.com/ENG/).

Some nice 5 star hotels in Marrakesh that are fairly cheap. I'd also reccomend a trip to Safi, a quaint little fishing town.

Top tip is to not eat in the hotel restaurants, the food is kept heated all day and a high chance of food poisoning. Best bet is to eat at the little roadside shacks, even though they look a bit shabby the food is cooked fresh to order and is real authentic Moroccan quisine.

been to the northern part of morrocco, ended up in a quite shady situation in the mountains 8)

i thought it was full of beggars, drug dealers and child prostitutes myself. but hey maybe that was the company i was keeping.

i'm very excited about the cuisine. will be fattening up on cous cous, kebaps, humous, etc.

then shitting it out through the eye of a needle
