Day 4: Fez to Marrakech
Breakfast at your accommodations and check-out before
your driver takes you to the Fez train station for the 8-hour train ride to
Marrakech with first-class tickets included.
A driver will meet you
upon your arrival in Marrakech and transfer you to your accommodations. The
rest of the evening is yours and dinner is usually the first order of
business. For a great first adventure in
Marrakech, head to the Djemaa el-Fna (gem alf-NA), a square filled with
musicians, story tellers, snake charmers, dancers, and almost every variety of food to be
found in Morocco at a cost lower than you can imagine. At first the
Djemaa el-Fna seems almost surreal, the smoke from the grills creating
curtains of smoke while the air is filled with a chaotic mix of sounds.
Tonight you'll be one of the masses of people that will be eating at the
square.
Be forewarned
though, the Djemaa el-Fna is THE place for pickpockets and hustlers.
So leave your passports, cameras and other valuables safe in the hotel
and only bring enough money (that you won't miss if swiped) for food and
a little something for performers that you enjoy. (Breakfast) |
