But I would say if you want to experience the kind of authentic, real Marrakesh, it's best to stay inside the city in one of those traditional riads, they're called, which are like a traditional Moroccan house.

Usually they'd have like between six to ten rooms or even some only have four rooms to ten rooms.

It's a really, really cool way to see it, I think.

I had preconceived ideas before I went.

I wasn't sure if it was going to be my kind of vibe.

I mean, you'd see the motorbikes whizzing past with three and four and five people, babies hanging off the back.

And I've seen that in rural Africa.

I've been to some amazing places in Tanzania and Rwanda and all that.

And motorbikes all going side by side.

I think there was three crashes on the way from the airport.

It's fine.

It's no problem.

You know, everything is just relaxed here.

So, yeah, that was a bit wild.

And then when we got into the centre, I think both flights, actually, for anybody who is visiting, the flights land around six o'clock, but it can take you about an hour to get through the airport.
