What to do in Marrakesh

Perhaps the most famous of Morocco's cities, Marrakesh has been the country's heart and soul for over 1,000 years. The Djemaa El Fna square is first on the list, its melee of snake charmers, musicians and dancers creating an intoxicating atmosphere, especially as the sun sinks in the evening. Dig into the city's incredible history, visible on visits to the 12th-century Koutoubia Minaret, gilded Saadian Tombs, and its magnificent palaces and then get to know her thriving creative side at the Museum of Moroccan Arts, the Islamic Art Museum at Les Jardin Marjorelle (a beauty spot if there ever was one) and the Villa Oasis, once the home of Yves Saint-Laurent. And for the best view around, hop into a hot air balloon and the magic unfold below you...
