flying into Marrakech on Atlas Blue Airlines into Menara Airport Marrakesh
construction work on the new airport
taxi from Airport to Hotel Ali (Merrakesh's Central Medina) they started out at 150Dh and I said 60 and eventually paid 100Dh, after getting in the taxi, he takes on other people also, so I tried to get the price back to 60 but had already agreed on 100 so I was stuck

(upon arrival the exchange rate was 1 US $$ = 7.7 or 7.8 Dh)

to the hotel, shower and out to sight see and get something to eat
not much to say about Hotel Ali but it's all about Location Location Location
it's right at the Djemaa el-Fna which is the focal point of Marrakesh, it's a hugh square in the medina, it's where it all happens. It can be overwhelming at first, but returned to it each night to eat when I was there. the Djemaa el-Fna comes alive when the sun goes down with open-air food stalls, storytellers, snake charmers, musicians, acrobats
