Marrakech

A walk through Marrakech’s medina and atmospheric souks – the air heavy with incense smoke andspices, the walls of the madly knotted alleyways rich in mosaics and fabrics – provide many visitors with their abiding holiday memories of Morocco. There is an endless feel to the old quarter, the lanes weaving back on themselves, the little courtyards leading out to another tangle of houses and stalls. A morning lost here is unforgettable. The afternoon’s perfect antidote is Marrakech’s MajorelleGarden, a verdant palace of plants, pools and fountains, with cacti and palms, bamboo and lilies, alive and soothing with the birdsong of nightingales and flycatchers.
