Marrakech- Marrakech has become a popular destination for the world’s stars, celebrities, and fashion aficionados.
The pink city has a backdrop of the Atlas Mountains and romantic gardens like the Menara, the Agdal, and the Majorelle, which are hauntingly beautiful with their fountains, olive groves, and pavilions. It is an ideal location for the rich and famous, like George Clooney and Amal Amaluddin, to go on their honeymoon. Marrakech is like the ancient Baghdad of the tales of One Thousand and One Nights with its variety and glamor.
The ancient medina, with its many colors, beautiful artifacts, and winding streets and derbs (alleys), is fascinating, and high fashion areas like Mouassine attract fashion aficionados and interior designers.
The happy couple may choose to stay in the legendary La Mamounia, the Sofitel, or the Royal Mansour. Marrakech is not short on luxury hotels. There are also many riads where guests can enjoy spending the night in the medina and gazing at the stars as the muezzin’s call to prayer mingles with the noise of nearby street life.
The Riad Farnatchi near the Medersa Ben Youssef regularly welcomes celebrities like Russell Crowe, Angelina Jolie, and Scarlett Johansson. The Maison MK is for discerning celebrities looking for secluded luxury, as is Vanessa Branson’s Riad El Fenn just off the Rue Lksour.
Fine restaurants like the Tobsil or Le Foundak in the Medina or El Fassia in Gueliz are famous for their Moroccan cuisine. It’s not surprising that celebrities like Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Ralph Lauren, and Jean Paul Gaultier visit Marrakech regularly. Many own villas and riads here.
When George Clooney and his bride want some fresh air, they can take a hot air balloon ride or visit the magical Ourika Valley and the Atlas Mountains, or enjoy the glorious mountain scenery around Imlil at the renowned Kasbah Toubkal or further afield in the Draa Valley, Ait Benhaddou, and the Todra and Dades Gorges.
There are few better places for a great honeymoon than Marrakech. Everyone wishes them a wonderful stay and hopes they will come back soon.
