Marrakesh

Get lost in the red city souks! But don't feed the monkeys! You'll come across many performers trying to get you to take a photo with them and then demanding payment. This practice is actually illegal so don't encourage it. The souks in Marrakech are truly mesmorising, full of colours and light. It's best visited at night as during the day is too hot to wander around. It's also the time that it comes to life with music and lights everywhere. Don't foret to bargain prices down - it's actually apart of Arabic culture to bargain prices and they appreciate your efforts. The rule of thumb is always to half the original asking prices and go from there until you meet a price you're both happy with. Don't back down and if you're unhappy with the price just move on as you'll always find another stall selling the same thing. 9 times out of 10, if you start to move away they will give in to make the sale.
