The experience

What it's like

Every lane of the Marrakech medina sells something different: lanterns in one, leather in the next, skeins of freshly dyed wool hanging above the dyers' souk. Without a guide it's overwhelming. With one, it's a story.

We'll visit the workshops behind the stalls, step into quiet riad courtyards and historic madrasas, and stop at the spots locals actually shop, so you can buy with confidence if you want to.

Highlights

  • The dyers', metalworkers' and spice souks
  • Artisans at work in their workshops
  • A historic madrasa or palace courtyard
  • Honest shopping tips, with no pressure to buy
