The Marrakesh Encounter guide gives you twice the city in half the time.

Within minutes of arrival in Marrakesh’s Medina (Old City) you’ll learn a new word: ‘Balek!’ Roughly, ‘Move it or lose it, donkey coming through!’ Donkey carts may not inspire the same adrenaline-rushing alertness as careening Vespas loaded with oranges and carpet sellers in hot pursuit of customers with their absolute last price. But once you glimpse the carts painted with good-luck symbols hurtling headlong through narrow souqs (covered market streets), you too will leap to the sidelines and watch in awe as Marrakesh rushes ahead by all available means.
