Tread the cobbled streets that wind along the cities pink walls and uncover a magical, contemporary world that thrives within, with refurbished Riads, elegant fine-dining, acclaimed design boutiques and an annual Biennale that showcases contemporary art and highlights contemporary issues. In a world of its own – Marrakesh is an adventure as red-hot as the city’s searing tones.
