The city of Marrakech evokes visions of mysterious
alleyways that map the city like a latticework, of
glorious swathes of colour, and, best of all, non-stop sparkling sunshine. With a flight time just under
four hours, Marrakech is the perfect place for sojourning somewhere delightfully quick. We had five
days in radiant Marrakech and this is what we did:
glorious swathes of colour, and, best of all, non-stop sparkling sunshine. With a flight time just under

days in radiant Marrakech and this is what we did:
Naturally, first on our list was exploring the beautiful maze of souks. You can spend days on
end poking into every nook and cranny....yet it is nigh on impossible to happen upon the same place
twice.
The souk is a magpie's delight as there are many shiny objects to distract the eye. It is also the
perfect place to purchase rugs, baskets and other textiles.The key to souk success is bargaining.....so
don't be shy!
When we wanted a break from the hustle and bustle of the souks, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum
was the perfect refuge. It was absolutely inspiring to see Saint Laurent's work up close and personal.
The YSL Museum was also perfectly positioned for exploring the wonders of the Marjorelle
Gardens. Another gem we stumbled upon close to the gardens was a charming boutique we found
called 33 Rue Marjorelle.
When fatigue set in whilst on our walkabouts, we retreated to an oasis in the form of a hidden
rooftop to sip refreshing mint tea...
....and a seat poolside wasn't bad either.
What We Wore:
A multi-tasking superstar, Dominique was perfect for jaunts around the city as well as a non-
traditional poolside cover up!
We adored Dottie on holiday, she's the perfectly simple dress for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
A delicious all-in-one outfit and one of our favourites to sip mint tea in!
Our Roman Tunic was perfect for throwing over a pair of jeans for a casual stroll through the
Marjorelle Gardens.
And there was nothing more delightful than our jersey linen for keeping a cool head in
Morocco's warmer climes. Una folds into a tiny square
which left more room in our luggage for all the treasures we brought home.
