The Red City at the foot of the Atlas, one of the great living medieval cities of the Arab and Berber world. Its heart beats at Jemaa el-Fnaa, a square UNESCO named a masterpiece of intangible heritage, ringed by souks that run mosque to palace behind ochre ramparts. Read the medina and the Koutoubia, the Saadian tombs and the jewel-box palaces, and the cobalt-blue Majorelle Garden the desert made possible. Best taken slowly, at your own pace.

What each tour covers

• Jemaa el-Fnaa: The Heart of the Marrakech Medina: A self-paced walk through the red-walled medina of Marrakech, from the storyteller's square at its heart to the minaret a dynasty copied, the craft-labyrinth of the souks, and the thousand-year-old ramparts that name the Red City.
• Bahia Palace and the Saadian Tombs: The Marrakech of Sultans: South of Jemaa el-Fnaa, behind the kasbah walls, walk the royal quarter where Morocco's dynasties built to dazzle and buried their dead in secret splendour.
• Majorelle Garden: The Green Marrakech Behind the Red Walls: A self-paced route through the green Marrakech hidden behind the red walls, from a painter's cobalt-blue dream to the medieval royal groves and the invisible mountain water that made a desert city of gardens possible.
