Meant to be going in 3 weeks but now not so sure after the suicide bomb today.

Feel so sorry for those people killed and injured.

We were there last October and I never relaxed once. I have travelled to many countries and never have I felt so uneasy. We had lunch on our first day in Marrakech in the cafe that was bombed. I will trust my gut feeling more in the future.

Follow the Foreign Office advice.

We ate in that cafe too.

We just came back from Egypt - absolutely no problems in Cairo or Luxor.

I have been trying to get my dp to go to marrakech for years as my friend has a lovely house there This has made my task impossible he has ruled it out 100% and doesn't even want me to go!

Thanks ladies. I'm half and half tbh - partly thinking don't let the bastards stop me but also thinking what if they have another go?

Decisions, decisions .

Update - if anyone was wondering - we're not going. Feel relieved tbh, waiting to see if we can get a refund on our riad.

I Think that it is safe to visit Marrakech because the Foreign Office advice is postive regarding visitting Marrakech and Morocco. And unforntunatly these terrorsit attacks can happen everywhere nowadays.

I booked a trip to Marrakech in June again via www.myresidencemarrakech.com and I am not planning on changing my trip because that is what these terrorists want..
