10 Top Internet Cafes in Marrakech
While many travellers rely largely on their mobile phone with roaming data access to use the internet, there may be a time when you want to use an internet café. Perhaps the Wi-Fi isn’t so strong in your riad or guest house, maybe you want to print something, or perhaps you’d like to focus on tasks in a more work-like environment.

Here are some recommendations of internet cafes in Morocco’s fascinating old imperial city of Marrakech.
