    @@symonroe8095 I do! I suggest you stay in a riad in the old medina to be closer to the souks and the Jamaa el fna square. You can try couscous on fridays, tanjia is a speciality of Marrakech and tagine is famous in Morocco. For sweets, you can find different types of cakes(?) being sold like Ghriba and Kaab el ghzal. Definitely, visit the square and go to a rooftop café at night. Visit the Majorelle garden and Yves Saint Laurent museum. Go to Gueliz, it's more modern, to shop in stores such as zara, stradivarius, etc. Experience the night life in a club or bar, I suggest l'épicurien for a fun night out. Visit the outskirts like Agafay and Terres d'Amanar for hand gliding and quads. I hope this was insightful lol. I'll try to write a blog post about it and send you the link maybe.

A month or so later I remembered I had it, when I opened up the bag all these little moths flew out 😮 safe to say I never drank the tea ☕️😕 I also bought way to may beautiful glass lanterns and throws such a great place to shop 😁
