Went there in 1992 so not sure I can be of much help on the latest but had a great time. Overnight train from Tangiers, saw barely any foreigners as it was before the tourist renaissance and loved the madness, hassling, market square, souks and hash. Was 19 years old and a mate and I were travelling with four girls we met in Nice. Happy days..

It's well worth going. Like a visit to the middle ages.
The stuff about the aggressive sell is true, but if you front them they soon back out.
Plan to go back to see that mad fort in the Sahara. Ait benhaddou.

Re: Marrakech
Gav, our guide today said the blue city was amazing. Where did you stay ?
Your tour guide was correct, it's amazing. I can fish out where we stayed but no point unless you can do the journey. Overnight on the train (bunks in a cabin of four about 25 quid per person - likely other europeans) and about 3 hours coach from tangiers in the morning.
I really enjoyed the overnight train. Old school. I also had a couple of bottles of special cola to hand to make the journey fly by.

Re: Marrakech
Dirtiest place (not rude dirty) I have ever been and I went twice. Wouldn't go back again though unless it was to stay in the mountains or see the Sahara.
You need a large pack of moist loo roll over there too unless you like using your bare hands.
I got the shits there after eating in the square, no loo roll was fun, NOT.
My old man was stationed in the desert during the Suez crisis and said much the same, said the locals had no need for bog rolls, would just wipe their arses on their dishdashas.

Never been, but a friend of mine made the terrible mistake of eating street food there.
He enjoyed the 24 hours before much more than the 144 hours after.

Not sure there is anything cultural in Death Valley BRANDED son?? Only a div would think there was a few nice cathedrals, castles and churches there ... saying that there is a golf course (Furnace Creek)... does Golf get classed as culture' in your eyes??

Death Valley is for people who like sitting on the beach with a hankie on their head eating a 99 but thought they were seeing something cultural for a couple of hours so they could recount it as a tourist experience of value.

Like everything in America, its massively over-hyped.
They do know how to get the coin out of divvy tourists though.

It's a misleading name.
It's actually a ravine.
