Postcard from Marrakech
In this episode of ExtraVirgin Food & Travel "Postcards," we travel to Marrakech, Morocco's fabled pink city and a recent location star in the popular "Inventing Anna," Netflix series.
Our guest is Amanda Ponzio-Mouttaki who has lived in Marrakech for the past 9 years, running her own food tour company.
Amanda shares what she recommends visitors to her city do, including :
- Enjoying the souks
- Getting a hammam
- Chilling on a rooftop
- Visiting a desert camp in the Agafay Desert
- Going to the High Atlas Mountains (skiing in Oukaimden)
She also tells us about some of her favourite places to eat and drink, including:
- Plus 61
- Mes'lalla at the Mandarin Oriental
- L'envers
- Kabana
And she gives an invaluable tip that can have you sunning yourself by the pool and lunching at some of the city's most expensive and luxurious hotels, for a fraction of the price!
Whether this exotic north African city is on your bucket list or not; whether you're in the middle of planning a trip, or just armchair travelling, sit back, relax and let this Postcard from Marrakech take you away.
