Morocco
We stayed at the superb Movenpick in Marrakech for 3 nights, a great large hotel close to the airport and Medinah. We visited the Medinah and souks and picked up a few bargains. My advice is that it's best to go in a group or with a guide when you explore. We soaked up the atmosphere in the square and then had dinner at the amazing Salama Restaurant.
The next day we visited the Royal Palm Hotel, about 20 minutes outside the Medinah. Beautiful hotel with an amazing golf course. Green fees are around 45 Euros.
After this it was a visit to the Royal Mansour and we had lunch there. It's a great hotel at the entrance to the Medinah and the food was superb. It was then off to Cookery School at the amazing La Maison Arabe. This is a must-do in Marrakech.
Then, back to the Movenpick to get ready for dinner at the premier Club Restaurant Le Palace. This was the best food of the trip and another must do. Great atmosphere and fun night.
The following day, it was off to the Atlas Mountains and a tour of the luxury L'Amandier. What a hotel! The views were amazing. We had a great tour and were well looked after by the owner Anwar. Then, it was back to the hotel to get ready for the Jad Mahal, a really popular destination for a show and dinner. All in all, a great night.
We were then off to the coast and Essaouira. We checked into our hotel, The Atlas, before touring the Sofitel just outside the city. Great hotel with another amazing golf course. After lunch it was off to the Medinah. Smaller scale than Marrakech and less of a hustle and bustle atmosphere but there were fewer goods to buy. Afterwards, we went back toThe Atlas for a tour and they surprised us with an amazing cocktail party on the beach before dinner at L'Heure Bleue!
Then it was back to Marrakech and home.
