Pick up from the airport at your planned arrival time and transfer to the Riad in Marrakech’s historical centre, just two minutes’ walk from the famous Jamaa El Fna square. The best choice during the day is to explore the medina on your own, making your way to the square, which comes alive in the evening with narrators, jugglers, and diviners. There are snake charmers, dancers, tooth extractors, and other similar occupations. For the night, I’m staying at the Riad.
