New Town is literally what it is called by, the newer part of Marrakech. If you want to escape leave the old school Moroccan ways then you can come here and feel right at home as it's pretty westernized and a lot of the locals hangout here as well.

  • Tips: if you want night life come here and dress nicely- and I'm not referring to dancing (although they actually have clubs) there's musical entertainment at trendy restaurants and lounges left and right. You should wear proper dinner attire if you want them to let you in, unless you come from a fancy hotel (like la Mamounia) then they'll take care of you (VIP treatment! yes!). If you're looking for shisha that's tough as they sometimes rarely do they they serve it (it's illegal there or the restaurants get fined for serving it). We went to Comptoir and enjoyed some fancy Moroccan food (I liked the local food better) and an entertaining musical and trendy atmosphere.
