    There is no shortage of budget hotels in Marrakesh and the trick is finding the excellent options. The Riad l'Oiseau du Paradis is one of those options. This hotel has many floors of rooms, which vary in noise exposure from the outside streets.

    Dates for the diary

    As Morocco is a Muslim nation, September is a very solemn month in Marrakesh. The country will be partaking in Ramadan, one of the most important holidays in the Muslim calendar. During the entire month, Muslims are required to fast during the day from sunrise to sunset.

    Moroccans will be abstaining from food and drink until the sunsets at which time they will eat to sustain themselves. Even if you do not practice Islam, being respectful and mindful of the locals' traditions cannot be recommended enough. On the positive side, this means that if you are dining during the day, you and other tourists would be the only ones vying for reservations.

    The Imilchil Marriage Festival starts in the month of September. During this time in the village of Imilchil, local women enjoy music and dances during which they try to find their future husbands. More often than not, this festival is culminated by numerous marriages.
