Marrakech or Marrakesh? Riad, Ryad, Riyad or Riyadh?The city is spelled “Marrakech” in French and commonly use by foreigners except English thats will say ‘Marrakesh’ and Germans say “Marrakesch”. 

Marrakech Quad Tours


There are many places where you can go quad biking starting from 1 hour to a full day however don’t expect the desert in Marrakech. The best you can hope for is rough terrain, river and scenic berber villages however if you willing to travel 600 Km in the direction to Merzouga South of Marrakech you will find a true desert.

Let’s stay in Marrakech!!! – Even not the same there’s a fantastic quad bike track in the Palmeraie, 15 mins by taxi from the medina. It’s run by Nomade Quad. They organizes hiking tours, camel raids and Quad biking.

Marrakech Restaurants

At lunchtime, you have many choices in Marrakech. You can eat at local restaurants, frequented by locals, which we recommend, or you can eat at restaurants that are more “touristy”, where they make pizzas, pasta and other basics. For a Morrocan atmosphere go to eat among the bustle and  noise of the Jemaa el Fna, where there are several bars and cafes that offer  delicious cheap meals.

Local Restaurants
My advice is to go to one of the local restaurants at least once, because it is a good way to discover the essence of the Moroccan food and to  know what, and how, people eat in Marrakech.
