‘If you let yourself fall under the spell of Marrakesh, everywhere else in the world will seem boring’ (Juan Goytisolo, Spanish writer and poet)

Yves St Laurent’s private library, the best orange juice in the legendary Jamaa el-Fna square, the most beautiful riads and the best restaurants far from the tourist crowds, the search of the perfect carpet, a night in a tent in the desert, a secret museum where everything is for sale …

The authors of Soul of Marrakesh, Zohar Benjelloun and Fabrice Nadjari, are passionate about Morocco.

They’ve explored every corner of the fascinating city of Marrakesh to provide readers with the most exciting and unexpected experiences.
