I have created a guide with some travel trips for your first trip to Marrakesh, as well as some of my favorite shops and restaurants in the city, as we prepare for our upcoming Moroccan yoga retreats.

Retreating in Morocco is definitely an exciting, exotic and jump-straight-out-of-your-comfort-zone type of experience! Our retreats are designed with plenty of time for relaxation (think rooftop yoga classes, hammam bathhouses and deep tissue massages…), but these yoga holidays also incorporate exciting cultural experiences.

I hope this short guide helps you to navigate your travels to Marrakesh as you find yourself bargaining in the medina, enjoying a mint tea on one of the city’s many rooftops, and mingling with the friendly locals. I have put together a collection of useful Morocco travel tips about cultural differences, transportation, currency, tipping, safety, and ordering food and drinks. You will also see a list of some of my favorite restaurants, shops and hammams. Enjoy!
