Even though Marrakech’s clubs and hotels do not openly e labels such as “gay” or “gay-iendly” for advertisg, is the new “Pk Cy”, havg overtaken the formerly ternatnal zone of Tanger. To beg wh: Acrdg to Morocn law, homosexual acts are illegal and will be punished severely.

GAY MARRAKH TRAVEL GUI

Near Rabat, for example, two young Morocns were sentenced to four months imprisonment each 2013 bee of homosexual ntacts. Strongly fluenced by relign and patriarchal stctur, Morocn society is characterized by tradnal valu, and is, th, rather homophobic. Neverthels, homosexualy is tolerated to the greatt possible extent, as far as ’s lived out discreetly.

TOP GAY DTATNS: MOROC

They are not gay, but munitg wh their iends the tradnal manner. Hetero — as well as homo — or bisexual upl should be discreet and save livg out their passns for the privacy of the riad.

In spe of the reprsive ndns, a gay scene has grown Marrakech. Clubs and night life for a gay dience. Soon, the word of a gay night life the South-Morocn imperial cy spread.

WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE GAY … MOROC?

The top addrs is, whout a doubt, Le Diamant noir, which is rather gay than gay-iendly durg the week.

MOROCNS’ GAY PRI MARCH AIMS TO RVE OUT NEW SPACE OM A DISTANCE

Apart om that, the gay party scene meets at the VIP-Club, Le Pacha, Le Comptoir Darna, or the other bars along the Avenue Mohammed V.

GAY MARRAKH

Gay-iendly hosts: discreet riads and open hearts.

The followg riads are gay-iendly (plete list):. In a Nutshell: Marrakech for homosexuals.

Th, homosexuals are not treated differently om heterosexuals.

GAY MOROC TRAVEL GUI

Some gut ho are labeled “gay-iendly” and are ed to homosexual clients, so there are no irratns when, say, a double bed is requted.

The gay night life n be bt experienced one of the clubs mentned above, but is advisable to keep a keen md even there: It is not unlikely that the young man showerg you wh pliments is a prostute, and the police are rather strict their effort to nta prostutn, pecially as is gradually creasg Moroc. Apart om this, Marrakech is as good a holiday statn for gays and lbians as is for heterosexually orientated.

The LGBTQ+ rights movement has ma tremendo stris over the past few s and much of the progrs visibily is thanks part to gay pri paras and march that have taken place ci around the world.
