Whether youre snapping up spices at the souk or sipping mint tea in the
medina, Marrakech is a sensory delight.
stay
Perched on the edge of a Berber village,
Caravan Serai is the perfect place to escape medina madness. Rooms are
Moorish in decor and most have their own terrace. Watch the sunrise in
the magical gardens followed by a hammam and hearty breakfast by the
pool. www.hotel-caravanserai.com
shop
In a city where you can easily spend an hour
bartering over a bag of baubles, we suggest hiring a personal shopper to
do it for you. A fashion insider with plenty of contacts and savoir
fair, Laetitia Trouillet will beeline you to the best babouche, caftans,
and tea glasses Marrakech has to offer. Apprx. $330 for the day
(includes transportation and lunch). www.lalla.fr
do
Rise early for petite dejeuner at the Marjorelle
Gardens. Named after its creator artist Jacques Majorelle and later
bought by Yves Saint Laurent, this bourgainvillia-scented Eden features
more than 350 varieties of exotic plants. www.jardinmajorelle.com
drink, dine, boogie
Sip sunset cocktails on the roof
terrace of Yacout before sampling the Franco-Arabic menu at Le
Foundouk. Carry on with more cocktails and bellydancing at hip
nightspot Le
Comptoir.
