Cafe Arabe

Advantages: good food, clean, great cocktails, nice rooms
Disadvantages: --------------------

.... So, we saught out Cafe Arabe, a restaurant (and inn) hidden within the medina. WOW. This place is COOL. Gorgeous. Enchanting. With both covered patio-type seating, a swanky little bar, indoor seating and delicious drinks upon the terrace with a view of Marrakesh you'll love. I did great pictures of this place. Owned by Italians, ( the owner is from Milano and the manager from Reggio Emilia, the city of the Parmesancheese, tortellini) you'll find ...
...Paolo, told us, that the Cafe has 2 double rooms and a minisuite. We asked him the see the rooms. No problems, in this way we could shoot some photos. I think it's a good idea to sleep in a riad for enjoy the real Morocco, that's not possible in a 5 stars hotel :-( ....next time The Sunday Moroccan-international brunch tasts optimal. It's a great buffet, for 200 DHS. It's not expansive, but unfortunatly it comes suspended in July and August because ... Read review

Advantages: perfect for families, low prices, clean
Disadvantages: no alkohol

...there are the stairs. The menù is rich. You can find: - salt or sweet crepes - milkshakes - sandwiches with chips - pizza - pasta - salads - Moroccain dishes - non alcoholic cocktails, and belive me their mojito is great. ....the prices??? Very very low....belive me. Another nice thing concerning this place, it that it get used from Moroccain artist. You will have a drink in an art gallery. Every few months the artist will be changed, for give to more artist possible the way to show their paintings. I think it's a good idea, it's somethings different. I find this place on the way to the Cafe Arabe. If you want, there is the possibility to do private parties. Bougainvillea Cafè 33, rue el Mouassine Médina - Marrakech tel.: +212. (0) 24.44.11.11...

Advantages: Small and Uncommercialised
Disadvantages: Some areas are fairly run down

...A few months ago i went to nice on a school trip in order to improve my french for my up and coming gcse. I expected it to be all learning and really quite boring but i was to be pleasantly suprised. When i got there i was immediatly struck by the warm wheather which i was certainly not used to in february being a brit myself. when i got there i was allowed to wander around the town. The thing that hit me or at least where i was staying was the large arab community there with their being many arab cafes and bars dotted around all over my part of the city at least. The thing i liked about nice was that it wasent over commercialised as is often the case with many urban enviroments these days. Nice is also set in a lovely part of the world being very near to Italy and only half an hours train ride from Monaco. In conclusion if your... Read review

Advantages: mountain and countryside atmosphere and yet, not too far from the sea shore
Disadvantages: A bit expensive

...Faraya is the name of a small mountain village in Lebanon. It is one of Lebanon's tourist citations for many reasons. The first reason that makes it an attraction is the weather. If you are visiting Lebanon in the summer, than spending few days in faraya is a must. Unlike the city, Faraya retains a nice cool misty breeze in the summer that giver the impression that one is in an illusion. As for winters, if one is a skiing fan than sliding upon faraya hills gives a unique sensation of freedom and an overwhelming feeling of being on top of the world. The second reason is the restaurant/pub variety. From traditional restaurants that offer oriental Arabic/Lebanese cuisine, American fast food takeaways, French style cafe' Tretoires to modern hideaway pubs. The place has plenty of flats, houses, villas, apartments for rent, a number of bed... Read review
