DAY 3
There’s nothing like enjoying the breakfast from the super expansive roof top at 72 to start the day. From this higher perspective you’ll discover a peace and quiet you can’t quite find anywhere else. And such a range of incredible views from above, the labyrinth, the Koutobia, the Atlas Mountains in the background, plus a spread of homemade pastries, breads, pancakes, jams, yogurt, eggs and, of course, coffee and tea!
After you’ve experienced the chaos down on the streets of the Medina consider that a change of scenery is always a great idea and plan a half day leaving Marrakech via scenic roads and head in to the Agafay rock desert just one hour drive from the city for a true bohemian chic experience, opting for a camel trek or a quad-biking experience for bravers, before enjoying a fresh lunch with breath-taking views and soaking up the last rays of sunshine before returning back.
A late-afternoon hammam is delightful followed by a one-hour massage. The hammam is the ultimate Moroccan experience and an integral part of local culture for hundreds of years. Not until more recently in modern times did many homes in Morocco have their own showers, so it was a place for communal bathing, not to mention a place for socializing. These days, there are many luxury hammams where discovering the sensual delight of this traditional care. The reception team will be at your entire disposal for SPA selection and reservation.
Then, we recommend dinner in our on-site restaurant, always rated among the first most well-known spots in Marrakech, to sample some of the best homemade Moroccan cuisine. While à la carte menu seasonally changes according to the fresh ingredients arriving in the kitchen, signature dishes include the tender lamb or beef Tanjia and the special hand rolled cous cous, both requiring 6 hours to be prepared to give you that full 360 degree experience of sight, smell and taste.
Marrakech is a photographer’s dream and such a visual post. Don’t be surprised to snap around 1000 shots during your 3 day vacation, even more. Looking at them your friends will be wanting to book a trip to Marrakech in no time.
