Marrakesh - Hotel


For the long Easter weekend, TJ planned a trip to Morrocco. It has been on our 'to-see' list since we moved here and we were so excited. We stayed in Marrakesh, in a traditional Riad - the Riad Farnatchi.




The room was lovely, with a big sitting room, interior balcony and roof-top breakfast and lounge area. We were treated to plenty of Morroccan mint tea, tasty cookies, and experienced a traditional Hammam. We heard the daily call to prayer from the various Mosques as they created a musical round of various pitches and volumes.




We peppered our trip with both sight-seeing and adventures and evening glasses of crisp Moroccan wine and game-playing on the roof during sunset.



It was a fantastic 'home-base' to come back to each day, and a true glimpse into this amazing city and culture.
