Planning my first trip to Morocco. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.
My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to Germany?
5. Any apps to use before arriving?
Coming from the UK with experience in Southeast Asia but first time in Morocco.
Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

Did you use an agency or find girls at online?

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in last month and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?
