Relax with a Hammam<br />
This is another must do when in Marrakesh.<br />
A Hammam is a type of traditional Moroccan<br />
bath which has developed into a spa treatment.<br />
Practises vary but generally this relaxing and<br />
invigorating treatment includes a dry hot room, a<br />
hot steam room and a thoroughly vigorous scrub<br />
down and massage.<br />
Top tip: ask your hotel to recommend somewhere<br />
rather than just visit one off the street.<br />
Places to eat<br />
Wherever you go in central Marrakesh, you are<br />
spoilt for choice when it comes to places to eat,<br />
whether it’s street food or posh nosh that you’re<br />
after!<br />
Dar Essalam<br />
Dar Essalam is in Rue Zitoun Kedim (just off<br />
the main square). This restaurant is phenomenal<br />
and a perfect summary of hedonist Marrakesh.<br />
It was once the haunt of the likes of Winston<br />
Churchill, Charles Trenet, Alfred Hitchcock,<br />
James Steward and Doris Day and it’s set in a<br />
magnificent 17 th century palace. Think beautiful<br />
fountains and tiles, fine engravings and marble<br />
work and Arab-Andalusian art. In addition to<br />
a traditional menu, the entertainment includes<br />
belly dancing, head wobbling and traditional<br />
music. An evening you won’t forget.<br />
Koulchi Zine<br />
Just a short walk from Dar Essalam (in the same<br />
road) Koulchi Zine is a great place for lunch. It<br />
has a roof top restaurant, a cool vibe and some<br />
great smoothies, local pastries and vegan options.<br />
You feel cool, calm and collected up above the<br />
souks and as you recuperate over a long and<br />
lingering lunch here.<br />
Le Marrakchi<br />
Just off the main square we stumbled in here<br />
because we were looking for somewhere that<br />
served alcohol during Ramadan. Call us heathens<br />
but we’d just come from the desert. It’s got a<br />
buzzing atmosphere, a terrace overlooking the<br />
main square, lots of local dishes and cocktails.<br />
Flights<br />
There are frequent flights from Gatwick<br />
including a red eye service which will have<br />
you in Marrakesh as early as 10am on a Friday<br />
morning (the Saturday flights are generally a bit<br />
later). Depending on when you travel, there’s<br />
also a good choice of return flights that allow<br />
you to return either Sunday afternoon<br />
or evening.<br />
