As we approached the pharmacy through yet another maze of unrecognisable alleyways filled with many locals but surprising few tourists, I saw two other men outside who only spoke to my unwanted guides in Arabic.
My unwanted guides accompanied me inside whilst the other men outside manoeuvred themselves across the doorway, effectively blocking an easy exit.

I was introduced to the "brother" by my unwanted guides who then proceeded to hard sell lotions and potions for all the ailments under the sun. Immediately after the sales patter I was presented with a list of all products and told "you would like to buy all". After several minutes of explaining that I didn't want to purchase them all, I decided I would have to buy one product as my insurance to get out of the pharmacy safely. So I chose the argan oil, again tried haggling only to be told abruptly "fixed price here only".
So I handed over dirham for a produced I felt forced to buy, and moved quickly towards the door with my unwanted purchase. This I thought would be the end of the ordeal, but it only got a whole lot uglier As I came back out into the blistering sun, all I wanted to do was get back to the relative safety of Jemaa El Fna from where I could head back to my riad and put the whole uncomfortable episode behind me. Instead I was quickly followed by my unwanted guides who promised to get me back there.
Again we navigated a seemingly endless maze of streets and alleys until we arrived at a much quieter one with no tourists and only a few Moroccan women quietly passing through with their food shopping without even making eye contact with me. In the middle of this quiet street the 15 years old points left and says "main square that way, easy to find" at which point I thought ok they aren't taking me to the square but it's money time and I can finally get rid of them without any further bother.
Re: The disgusting escort situation in Morocco
Not so. The rougher of my unwanted guides turns to me and aggressively says " dirham, dirham". Having read my guidebook thoroughly before, I thought this was incredibly steep and thought a few coins or small notes would suffice. So I offered a 50 dirham note and all my coins in good faith expecting them to accept and run off back into the alleys to accost more tourist prey. The response was "you insult us, this is not real money, how dare you insult us" I suddenly felt very uneasy being acutely aware that we seemed somewhat off the beaten track.
Voices continued to get raised as they insisted I had insulted them and their "service" and to my surprise nobody stopped or intervened to help diffuse the situation, all the locals just carried on their business regardless despite the situation rapidly escalating out of my control. Then came the really frightening bit Feeling an absolute sense of terror I put my hand in my pocket and gave them dirham each, which they snatched from my hand I somehow stumbled back to the square I'm still not sure how as I was in a terrified blur, shaking with terror and anger that nobody had intervened to assist.
I felt like I had been mugged, only thankfully without the violence, although the use of it was certainly threatened to terrifying effect. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I went straight back to my riad for the rest of the afternoon where I felt more safe and secure. On my second full day, I woke up and tried to put the terrifying experience of the day before behind me, thinking to myself that I shouldn't let what happened ruin my week long trip or taint my opinion about Marrakech and Morocco in general.

Although I felt more positive, I felt like a walk round Menara Gardens would help ease the stress of the previous day away and that a nice sedate way to do it would be to travel by caleche. What could possibly go wrong with a walk in the park and a ride in a horse drawn carriage I thought?
So I picked my ride, and after some haggling, agreed a price of dirham for a ride to Menara Gardens, a walk around and back to Jemaa El Fna which I was happy enough with. So I sat back, relaxed and enjoyed the ride up to the park whilst soaking up the suns rays. Then as we approached the park, I was abruptly told by my driver I must be back in 20 mins which I thought was odd and too short an amount of time to enjoy the tranquility of the gardens.
After some discussion I managed to extend this time to 30 minutes, although this again wasn't enough for me to enjoy the gardens. So after a fleeting visit to the gardens I got back onto my ride ready for the leisurely ride straight back to Jemaa El Fna, or so I thought. We headed back off in the direction we had came in initially, until we veered off to the left.
Ok he's taking me on an alternative scenic route and didn't really think anything else of it. The driver was pointing out hotels and casinos on the way, very nice they seemed but not really what I was in any desperate need to see or take pictures of.
We wound through several similar looking soulless modern palm tree lined streets again in the blistering heat but didn't seem to be heading back anywhere near the medina. Then without warning the driver turned round and said " dirhams". Immediately I had a sinking feeling that once again being a lone traveller again I'd been taken for a ride metaphorically speaking as well as literally. I argued with him stating that we had shaken and agreed on a price of dirhams, to which his response was that he was taking me for a tour of the city.
Great I thought, if I had have wanted a tour of the city but that wasn't what we agreed before I jumped on board. My protestations about not wanting a tour fell on deaf ears as we rode on and again he insisted on dirhams seemingly without any room for negotiation. Once again I felt like I'd been lured into a part of town I didn't know to then be fleeced for cash based on my unease that I was lost and couldn't jump off the caleche easily. It didn't take long for things to turn verbally ugly and I once again felt an overwhelming sense of panic as I didn't know where I was and the modern soulless streets of the new-town were near deserted during the stifling mid-day heat.
In the end I offered dirhams which he agreed to, once again I'd been well and truly ripped off. He carried on his merry way through the kasbah where I felt very uneasy being the only tourist being driven through on a caleche then he came to an abrupt halt and insisted that I get off for a wander round and take pictures. By this time I'd had enough of him, the caleche, the kasbah, getting ripped off, Marrakech and Morocco and all I could think about was getting back to the riad and trying to find a flight out of there. Just as I was thinking that, one of his family members arrives at the caleche and insists that I visits his pharmacy "not again" I though so I sat tight despite having my arm grabbed to get off.
Eventually they got the message and the family member disappeared back to his pharmacy and the driver dropped me back at Jemaa El Fna and I was dirhams lighter for a journey most of which I didn't want to take. I am hugely disappointed as I really wanted to love the place and "feel the magic" like so many travelers do, but that wasn't my experience at all. I think perhaps that I was more of a "target" as I was travelling alone, so probably wore the look of a tourist new to the city too obviously.
That said, I didn't expect to feel quite so uneasy and unsafe as I did.

As I mentioned earlier in the post, I don't want to put people off visiting, reading so many positive reviews about the place I'm well aware that my experience is probably in the minority, but I wanted to share my experience to make other travellers aware, particularly lone travellers. Interestingly my guidebook suggested that Marrakech is fine for lone travellers but that women may feel uneasy and harassed, based on my personal experience I would be very wary visiting there alone, whether male or female.
