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?

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.

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

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