Marrakesh

We don’t wish to stoop to namedropping but in a letter to Roosevelt, Churchill is known to have called his hotel in Marrakesh “the most beautiful place in the world”. And Jean-Paul Gaultier has a holiday home in the medina, presumably for the fresh ideas that just seem to blow in on the breeze here. Go and soak up the atmosphere for yourself and find out what makes this bustling city so special. Meander through the picturesque souk, marvel at the snake charmers or greet the night heartily with the Bahja. Marrakesh is at your feet thanks to cheap flights offered by Ryanair and TUI fly.
