Of course Marrakech has its focus attractions  the famous palaces, and the bustling squares overtaken by all the social media dependent consumers of the moment. However, can I let you in on a little secret? The real charm of the city lies within the backstreets. Wander those jumbled constructions, discover a historic crumbling mausoleum that is hardly ever seen on any tour guide, have a meal in a rundown hole in the wall where the locals go to eat, and you will find the real story of Marrakech.
