When we compare the travel costs of actual travelers between Gujarat and Marrakech, we can see that Marrakech is more expensive. And not only is Gujarat much less expensive, but it is actually a significantly cheaper destination. Since Gujarat is in Asia and Marrakech is in Africa, this is one of the main reasons why the costs are so different, as different regions of the world tend to have overall different travel costs. So, traveling to Gujarat would let you spend less money overall. Or, you could decide to spend more money in Gujarat and be able to afford a more luxurious travel style by staying in nicer hotels, eating at more expensive restaurants, taking tours, and experiencing more activities. The same level of travel in Marrakech would naturally cost you much more money, so you would probably want to keep your budget a little tighter in Marrakech than you might in Gujarat.
