How to avoid the worst of it today

The Saadian Tombs At opening One narrow passage carries everyone in and out, so go through it before the coach groups arrive.
Souk Semmarine Late morning When the covered spine locks up, the side lanes run the same way and stay walkable.
Jemaa el-Fnaa Afternoon Cross the square while it is still open ground; the food stalls go up around five and it fills.
The lanes three minutes off the souk Evening The busy old town is a dozen gates and a few alleys, and the streets either side of them are quiet.

Where the crowds are

The passage into the Saadian Tombs: One corridor beside the Kasbah Mosque, and everybody who visits goes in and comes out through it.
Souk Semmarine and the alleys north of the square: A covered lane a few metres wide, walked in both directions at once and shared with motorbikes and handcarts.
Rue Yves Saint Laurent, outside the Jardin Majorelle: Tickets are timed, so the waiting happens on the pavement in full sun, next to the museum on the same street.
Jemaa el-Fnaa once the food stalls are up: An open square with no ticket and no gate, which is why nobody can tell you in advance how full it will be.

Quiet places in Marrakesh

The old town three minutes off the main lanes: The medina is not uniformly busy: about a dozen gates and a handful of alleys carry it, and the streets either side are empty.
The middle of the day in July and August: With average highs around 37 degrees the open squares empty out and the ticketed monuments have no queue.
