TRAVEL Magical The tale of Arabian Nights comes to life with historic landmarks, bustling alleys and colourful souqs By Nicola Monteath 56 <strong>EQUITY</strong>
TRAVEL Shades of dusky pink are prevalent through the city of Marrakech, fondly known as the “rose or red city” and therein lays its beauty. While the rest of the world has been busy building towers, altering their skylines rapidly, Marrakesh has chosen to stay true to its rosy-hue roots. Buildings are also given a height restriction and have to be lower than the city’s most significant landmark, the 77-metre tall minaret of the 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque. Of late, Marrakech has become an Instagramworthy paradise with images of the city’s stunning architecture, riads, the souq, rugs, pottery, and tagines filling our feeds. Formerly an imperial city in western Morocco, the city is best known for its medieval vibes, mosques, palaces, gardens and of course, the museums. On a bright sunny morning, meander through the Jardin Majorelle, the stunning garden home to the renowned Blue square fountain, Berber museum, water lily pool, and other attractions. Just a stone’s throw away is Musee Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech, where you can view the late designer’s creative masterpieces. GO SIGHTSEEING Perhaps the best way to experience Marrakesh is with a stroll around the narrow alleyways of the walled medina (old city). The UNESCO heritage site is a maze amongst which you will embark on a sensory journey, taking in aromas of everything from spices to dried fruit and rose water, while haggling for stunning chunky necklaces, textiles and spices – take home a packet of Ras el Hanout for a Moroccan twist to your chicken dinners. Walk through The Djemaa el-Fna square for a glimpse of snake charmers, break-dancers and food carts.
