Last week I visited Morocco. We flew into Marrakech via RyanAir from Pisa airport. It was a fairly easy flight, about three hours. Going through customs at the airport in Morocco took a bit of time (the lines were more of a clump of people– definitely a mess). Here is a brief Marrakech city guide.

Shop at the many Souks around the city. Make sure to bargain as the shop owners will generally work with you to come up with a better price.
