It is easy to get lost in the maze of the old town Medina in Marrakech, the red city. In this video I use the free version of Gaia GPS to backtrack and find my way out. The app can be found here and in the app stores. https://www.gaiagps.com/

0:00 Info & things you should know about the medina in general
4:55 Time to enter the medina
11:05 Donkey photobomb
29:18 The tanneries
40:48 Began to backtrack out of the medina back to where we started
55:15 Sheep traffic
1:10:08 Exiting the medina back to our starting place then walking Djemaa el Fna Square
1:20:08 Call to prayers over the Mosque loudspeakers

Some further notes - In the video I mistakenly mentioned that one of the languages of Marrakech is Eastern Standard Dialect of Arabic. I believe it is just called the Standard Dialect.

For people who have not travelled much internationally (particularly Americans), there is something to note in the video leading up to my arrival at the tanneries through my exit from those. You will notice that there was a young man who showed me the way there then dropped me off with the tannery manager who gave me a tour then deposited me in an adjacent finished leather products store. The thing to note is that it is customary and expected there that when someone assists you in this way or does something like this for you that you repay them with either purchasing something or giving them a 'gift' in return, which usually would be cash.
Different countries, different customs and rules.
And I experienced the same thing in both Naples, Italy and in Istanbul, Turkey. So just be aware.
