Marrakech

Marrakech does not ease you in. It starts at full volume.

This guide takes you through the medina the way it actually works: the souks and the square, the palaces and gardens worth your money, where to eat and drink from dawn mint tea to late tagines, the photo spots at the right hours, the corners most visitors miss, and the scams to sidestep before they start. It closes with ready-made plans for one, three and five days.

Inside the guide:

• The medina, Jemaa el-Fnaa and the souks, decoded

• Palaces, tombs and the Majorelle blue

• Eating and drinking, from dawn to late

• Watch Out: scams, traps and easy mistakes

• Ready-made 1, 3 and 5 day itineraries
