💡 Pro Tip: The Sweet Spot
For the best value-to-experience ratio, start in Medina for sunset rooftop drinks (amazing views, moderate prices), move to Gueliz for dinner and late drinks (local prices, great food), and if you want to dance, end at Hivernage after midnight when clubs peak.
This combo gives you the full Marrakech experience for around 600-800 MAD (£50-65) - half what you'd spend staying in one district.
