Marrakech Medina I was lucky enough to visit Marrakech last week and it was absolutely beautiful – the culture, the people, the food, the nature, honestly everything.

Marrakech in December I live in the UK and I’m planning to go to Marrakech in late December for a week with my girlfriend. ​ Would you recommend staying in Medina or somewhere slightly out like Kasbah?
