The contrasts of Marrakech
(CNN) -- Talk with two people who have been to Marrakech and you'll get very different views on what a trip there is like.
One person will speak of the allure of wandering through a warren of market streets; the other will complain of getting lost over and over again. One will tell you that people there are among the friendliest they've met, if you can meet them halfway on the language. The other will say that the locals are only out to make money and not even directions are free. The food is exotic yet easy on the palate, or restaurants serve up bland clichés that still manage to turn you inside out.
And they would both be correct. Bottom line: Marrakech is not for the timid traveler.
My wife and I visited last November. We had heard it had much of what we look for in a travel destination: Centuries of history coupled with a very modern vibe. The city has a European feel, from the brand-name stores to the widespread use of French as a second or third language.
The crowded souks and calls to prayer from the mosque minarets are what you would find at the heart of a Middle Eastern country. It is the outline of the High Atlas Mountains that reminds you that this is North Africa.
The city's origins stretch back to the 11th century. Back then Marrakech was a key trading route with sub-Saharan cities. And like other hubs -- Bruges as a European port, Samarkand on the Silk Road -- Marrakech had its golden epoch before falling from favor. The result is that parts of the city within the rose-colored walls and imposing gates surrounding the medina, or Old City, have a sense of being frozen in time.
The massive Jemaa el Fna is likely to be the focal point of your time in Marrakech, both as a destination and as a much-needed reference point. It is one of Africa's largest squares, and as long as the city has existed it has been a place where storytellers, musicians, healers and just about everyone else has gathered.
During the day you can't walk through it without some snake charmer or henna tattoo artist offering to make your stay more memorable. At night, they push aside to make way for innumerable food stalls offering as genuine a selection of Moroccan cuisine as you'll find at any restaurant. Grills sizzle beneath tiny merguez sausages and fish and skewers of vegetables. For the more adventurous, there is boiled goat head or bowls of snails.
More than once we were brought food that we didn't order, like the deep red harira soup and a basket of bread, maybe some fresh olives. We paid for it anyway, and frankly, it was worth it. It exposed us to foods we may not have tried otherwise. Just plan on paying a bit more than you might have expected. Later, you'll walk it off as you wander amid the chaos, moving to incessant drum beats and chants, trying your best to take it all in.
Just north of the Jemaa el Fna you'll find the myriad alleyways of the Marrakech souk, or traditional market quarter. No map will help you navigate these passages; just accept that you are going to get lost and enjoy yourself along the way. While souvenir stalls are everywhere, you can still find shops selling items of remarkable craftsmanship that reflect local designs -- whether it is in the intricate patterns and colored glass of the hanging lamps, or leather goods from the tannery in another part of the city.
And trust me, the shop owners are always ready to make a deal. Make eye contact with a market trader, and before you know it you're haggling over the price of something that you may or may not need, but will provide a terrific story when you get back home. Nothing here has a set price, and shopkeepers can be aggressive when they think you are interested in something. But no trip to Marrakech would be complete without trying your hand at negotiating.
At some point you realize that the hardest thing about visiting Marrakech is that you are usually moving at someone else's pace. The streets of the souk are jammed with people who are either jostling to get past you or quite content standing in your way.
You and the other pedestrians will be on the lookout for young people on motorbikes heading in both directions. And everyone will try to maneuver around donkey-pulled carts. But anywhere you go -- and this is what makes a trip to Marrakech so special -- is an assault on the senses. It could be the vibrant colors of the shops selling mounds of rich spices or hand-tied rugs, the smell of food cooking, the press of the crowd, or the calls of the souk.
When all the bustle gets to be too much, there are plenty of sites that give you a chance to relax. South of the Jemaa el Fna stands the 19th century Bahia Palace and gardens, originally built for a high-ranking official and his concubines. You won't find a palace in the sense of Versailles or the Hofburg. Instead, you'll meander through a series of rooms with little more than lavishly decorated floors, walls and ceilings, leading to courtyards with fruit trees and fountains. We walked through the palace on our own, though I suspect a proper tour could be organized. The Ben Youssef Medersa, a former boarding school where for hundreds of years young men studied the Quran, will amaze you with its intricate stucco and cedar carvings.
Or just sit in the shadow of the Koutoubia Mosque minaret, an important example of the region's Islamic architecture. Or simply hop on one of the tour buses at the far end of Jemaa el Fna and check out Marrakech's modern Gueliz district.
Staying in Marrakech is best experienced at a riad, a traditional Moroccan home built around a central courtyard. The whole idea was originally to create as private a dwelling as possible, so even finding the entrance to one can be a challenge (always ask your hosts if someone can meet you, if not at the airport, at least at the edge of the Old City to get you there). The best have only a few rooms, each uniquely decorated and appointed. Your hosts will be more than ready to offer suggestions on where to eat, what to see, or just to offer a soothing cup of tea on the rooftop terrace.
Soothing tea aside, when you get back from Marrakech, don't expect to feel relaxed. Exhausted is more like it. You will have navigated more alleyways, gotten lost more times and told more people "no, thank you" for one reason or another than you should on a vacation. But a few weeks later, when you are looking back over the pictures you took, none of that will matter much. All you'll remember will be the sights and sounds that make Marrakech so special.
And you'll be thinking about when you might go back.

BUYING WITH MOROCCAN PROPERTIES
Moroccan property has, until very recently, been one of the best kept secrets among real estate investors. Not only are the prices of luxury villas, apartments, and tailor built properties much lower than within the Euro Zone, but the quality of architectural design, building controls, and standard of finish are often superior. Additionally, during the last three decades, the Moroccan government, under the direction of the late King Hassan II and his son King Mohamed VI, has radically improved the country's infrastructure by building thousands of kilometers of motorways, hospitals, schools, and airports. Marrakech, Tangier, and Casablanca are all within a few hours flying time of every European capital, and the routes are serviced by both government airlines, such as Royal Air Maroc, and economic charter services. One can fly from London to Marrakech in 3 hours for under one hundred pounds, or from Paris to Casablanca for one hundred Euros.
Politically stable and culturally tolerant, there are sound economic reasons for investing in Moroccan property at this time. During the recent economic recession the value of property fell by much less in Morocco than in any European state, in fact by less than 15 per cent, and the recovery has been much quicker.
Interest rates paid by Moroccan banks are considerably higher than those paid by European banks, and the laws governing taxation and inheritance are so liberal that many 'second home owners' quickly opt for permanent resident status, a simple procedure with many benefits attached including the tax free importation of personal goods. Many purchasers, particularly among the retired community, are impressed by the country's numerous private clinics, and the low cost of private health care, whilst younger members of the expatriate community with children regard the many excellent private schools, whose students regularly enter Oxford, Cambridge, Yale and Harvard, as a positive bonus. One might also mention the fact that domestic staff is readily available at very competitive rates.
Until the mid 1950's the Kingdom of Morocco was officially known as the Sheriffian Empire and although it is a unitary state its regions offer a rich diversity of cultural experiences. Tangier, once an international city, with its decadent literary history and rich artistic heritage still boasts of its magnificent Royal Golf and Yacht Club, a splendid new Casino, and an annual summer Jazz Festival which is fast becoming one of the most important in the Mediterranean basin. Fez, the spiritual capital of Morocco, veiled in clouds of incense, and boasting innumerable mosques and madrassas of outstanding beauty, is a UNESCO designated heritage site.
Imperial Marrakech, encircled by porphyry coloured walls, swaddled in palms, dominated by the glorious Koutoubia mosque, has a recently completed opera house, and hosts an annual International Film festival attended by a host of Hollywood stars.
Casablanca, a city once famed as the espionage center of North Africa, is ever vibrant, never sleeping, the pumping heart of the Moroccan economy, and a triumph of Art Deco architecture.

BUYING WITH MOROCCAN PROPERTIES
Moroccan property has, until very recently, been one of the best kept secrets among real estate investors. Not only are the prices of luxury villas, apartments, and tailor built properties much lower than within the Euro Zone, but the quality of architectural design, building controls, and standard of finish are often superior. Additionally, during the last three decades, the Moroccan government, under the direction of the late King Hassan II and his son King Mohamed VI, has radically improved the country's infrastructure by building thousands of kilometers of motorways, hospitals, schools, and airports. Marrakech, Tangier, and Casablanca are all within a few hours flying time of every European capital, and the routes are serviced by both government airlines, such as Royal Air Maroc, and economic charter services. One can fly from London to Marrakech in 3 hours for under one hundred pounds, or from Paris to Casablanca for one hundred Euros.
Politically stable and culturally tolerant, there are sound economic reasons for investing in Moroccan property at this time. During the recent economic recession the value of property fell by much less in Morocco than in any European state, in fact by less than 15 per cent, and the recovery has been much quicker.
Interest rates paid by Moroccan banks are considerably higher than those paid by European banks, and the laws governing taxation and inheritance are so liberal that many 'second home owners' quickly opt for permanent resident status, a simple procedure with many benefits attached including the tax free importation of personal goods. Many purchasers, particularly among the retired community, are impressed by the country's numerous private clinics, and the low cost of private health care, whilst younger members of the expatriate community with children regard the many excellent private schools, whose students regularly enter Oxford, Cambridge, Yale and Harvard, as a positive bonus. One might also mention the fact that domestic staff is readily available at very competitive rates.
Until the mid 1950's the Kingdom of Morocco was officially known as the Sheriffian Empire and although it is a unitary state its regions offer a rich diversity of cultural experiences. Tangier, once an international city, with its decadent literary history and rich artistic heritage still boasts of its magnificent Royal Golf and Yacht Club, a splendid new Casino, and an annual summer Jazz Festival which is fast becoming one of the most important in the Mediterranean basin. Fez, the spiritual capital of Morocco, veiled in clouds of incense, and boasting innumerable mosques and madrassas of outstanding beauty, is a UNESCO designated heritage site.
Imperial Marrakech, encircled by porphyry coloured walls, swaddled in palms, dominated by the glorious Koutoubia mosque, has a recently completed opera house, and hosts an annual International Film festival attended by a host of Hollywood stars.
Casablanca, a city once famed as the espionage center of North Africa, is ever vibrant, never sleeping, the pumping heart of the Moroccan economy, and a triumph of Art Deco architecture. Rabat, the capital, is a glorious city of elegant wide boulevards, the child of Marechal Lyautey and a worthy daughter of Paris. Essaouira, is a veritable living Roman city with arcaded market streets, triumphant arch gateways, chic boutiques and restaurants, perfumed by thuya wood and honey bread. Morocco, is breath takingly beautiful, sensuous, vibrant with colour, pulsing with music, and ever mysterious, Where else can one ski in the morning on fresh crisp snow, and dine at night among the moon lit sand dunes of the Sahara desert, play Golf on courses of international repute, or go riding at one of the many Equestrian Clubs.

Moroccan Beaches on the Mediterranean
The Mediterranean coast of Morocco runs from Tangier Morocco on the west to Saidia on the border with Algeria on the east.
On the portion between Tangier and Al Hoceima, the beaches are surrounded by calm and warm waters and some of them are quiet and intimate.
Most of the beaches here are like postcards in beauty and idyllic in nature.
On this Mediterranean coast from Tangier to Saidia there are 120 beaches facing the warm Mediterranean waters.
• Tangier Town Beach is located on the corner where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean just on the Strait of Gibraltar.
This beautiful beach is surrounded by mountains and white washed houses of tangier on the background.
The beach is not the cleanest but still very popular.
• Plage Quemada is located in the center of the Rif Mountains on the Mediterranean coastline in the north of Morocco.
Plage Quemada beach has a reputation for always being busy and crowded. It is very clean.
• Asfiha Beach is also located in the center of the Rif Mountains on the Mediterranean coastline in the north of Morocco.
This beach is not recommended for swimming because it is covered by dirty and sticky sands.
• Larache Beach, located on the Tangier Tetouan area is a very clean beach and great for swimming, although the waves could be sometimes dangerous.
There are lifeguards on duty. But I always recommend caution and swimming at your own risk.
Moroccan Beaches on the Mediterranean shoreline
• Essaouira Morocco is a charming and bohemian beach. It is laid back and relaxed. It features blue shuttered white washed houses, a charming fishing port and many art galleries. It is home to the annual Gnaoua music festival. Many consider this beach the friendliest and most laid back beach resort in Morocco.
• Al Hoceima beach is known for scenic strolls and clean, clear waters. It is surrounded by hills in the shadow of the beautiful Rif Mountains. It is a charming Mediterranean resort with many beaches in town and out surrounded by hills with olive groves. Germans and French sun seekers are the main visitors from Europe. During summer the beaches can become very crowded.
