[quote=Anonymous]Bring Imodium with you, just in case.  I would not eat anything from a street vendors that is raw, like fruit or a salad, and always drink bottled water that is opened in front of you.  Last year I went to Marrakesh and Essouria, I got sick from a mergez sandwich and then massive food poisoning from the super nice Relais Chateau hotel (from the carpaccio).   Have tangine, it's awesome.  If you were closer to the coast I would suggest eating fish.

Marrakech is pretty cosmopolitan, with many Western influences, so you probably wouldn't get too many looks for not covering your hair.  However, I wouldn't wear any tank tops or sleeveless dresses, or shorts, or skirts, or anything too tight.  I spent most of my time in Essaouria, which is on the coast and pretty conservative.  99% of the women there covered their hair, 50% covered their faces, and I saw a few burques. While there I felt more comfortable covering my hair, and wore linen pants and linen shirts.  Once I was harassed in the kasbah, but otherwise everything was ok.

Morocco is a Muslim country, you may find many places don't serve alcohol.  In public don't say anything negative about the King (there are pictures of him everywhere) and take the police seriously.  My favorite thing I did there was take a cooking class with my DH, we did a chicken tangine, it was super fun. [/quote]
