If you like oranges you will love the local dessert Canelle – thinly sliced oranges sprinkled with cinnamon, sugar and orange flower water. The Fairmont Royal Palm, Movepick Mansour Eddahbi, Four Seasons, Bedli Country Club, Nauru Barriere and even the all-inclusive Club Med La Palmeraie all offer facilities/ pool day passes, many with a meal included. The new Yves Saint Laurent museum, opened in 2017, spans over 4,000 square metres and showcases Yves saint Laurent’s work. Fabulous descriptions of getting lost finding his Riad in Marrakesh, the magic of visiting Jemma el-Fnaa and cooking tanjia in the coals of a local hammam.
When in Marrakech – stay in a Riad! One of the things you must do when visiting Marrakech is stay in a Riad! Many of these old homes in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Medina area have been lovingly restored by their owners and turned into small boutique hotels.

When I was five and growing up in Northern California, my 13-year-old sister was obsessed with Applause, the 1970s musical version of the iconic film All About Eve. We watched the 1950s film with Bette Davis as Margo Channing (ageing Broadway star), Anne Baxter as Eve (ambitious young fan obsessed with Margo), and Celeste Holm as Margo’s fickle best friend Karen. When I heard that the Belgian avant-garde theatre director Ivo van Hove was adapting the original Hollywood film AND that Gillian Anderson would play Margo Channing and Lily James was cast as Eve, I purchased tickets for opening night! Parts of the performance interact with a large live screen which show close-ups and expressions of the actors in key scenes which take place on a side stage: Eye rolls while brushing hair in a mirror, guests mingling at a cocktail party, a towel-clad Lily James close-up in a bathroom.
