I may be hollidaying in maarckerh in november this year with my boyfriend and was just wondering what the culture in like there? Will I be required to wear specific clothing or cover my head as it is a muslim country? I was also wondering if I will be able to book a double room in a five star hotel with my boyfriend even though we are not married or will our booking be refused because of this? Any information about it would be great thanks x

Salaam! Marrakech is a fascinating city, and there is plntey to do there. But since no one else has addressed your question about the mountains, here goes: you can see the Atlas mountain range in the distance, but it's a bit of a drive! If you get outside the city, you should be able to see the mountains from just about anywhere (unless it's a particularly bad weather day)! If you're wanting to go actually into the mountains, you could go southeast toward Ouarzazate on the N9, which will take you through the Toubkal National Park you may not want to attempt this in December because there's likely to be snow since it's through the mountains, and the roads through there are extremely sharp and narrow and without any real protection from spilling over the cliff face if you go off the road. However, it is a spectacular drive!! You can also head toward the Mgouna mountain where you'll also run into snow, but the roads aren't quite as treacherous as going toward Ouarzazate even though you're still technically going through Toubkal National Park. To go there, head in the direction of Azilal (east by northeast). There is a difference to consider, here, though because while you take the N9 all the way to Ouarzazate through the mountains, going toward Azilal and then finally toward Ait Bouguemmez, you're not on main (highway) roads necessarily. Either way, you can get into the mountains within a couple of hours, and if you want to stay in a mountain village, I'd head for Imlil which is also in the Toubkal Park due south of Marrakech. It'll also be treacherous to get to, but it's spectacular if you're looking for the mountain views, fresh air, etc!! Have fun!
