Rue Riad Zitoun el Jdid, Marrakesh, Morocco

 

One of the main thoroughfares on the south side of Marrakesh's medina, Rue Riad Zitoun el Jdid can get a bit manic, particularly in the narrow section that isn't open to cars. Mopeds in all shapes and sizes barge their way past bewildered tourists seeking riads and restaurants, while cyclists and instagrammers jostle for space with men and donkeys hauling building materials. Unfortunately, some of the historic buildings are crumbling away and you don't get much time and space to admire the exquisite doorways and intricate tiling that remains.
