Marrakech is a bustling, sensory overload of a city, with the smells of the food stalls in Djemaa el Fna square and the noise of souk stall holders bartering, it's exhilarating stuff. It is also a bit exhausting. So when you aredone haggling, retreat to the peace of the plant-filled courtyards. There are spaces to lounge around with the mint tea throughout the hotel, but to make the most of the warm weather, head up to the roof terrace where there are plunge pools and day beds. Anf if you're still up there for sundowners, it is the perfect spot to have a cocktail and watch the sun set.
One of the pleasures of being in the bustling Medina, is escaping the Medina. Make your way to Nid' Cigogne for a reviving mint tea on the spectacular roof terrace.
Place des Ferblantiers is home to a collective of artisan metalworkers who display their work on this famous square, part of the remains of the 16th century Badii Palace.
Kasbek's range of beautifully designed kaftans are more international in style than those generally available in Morocco. It sells slinky, sexy jersey kaftans and resort-wear kaftans for the beach and pool.

An industrial quarter about 20 minutes walk from the Jemaa el Fna, Sidi Ghanem plays host to a number of wonderful warehouses. Some of the best are Amira (candles) and Via Notti (bed linen).
One of the most famous delicacies of Moroccan cuisine is boiled sheep's head, which is goes down beautifully with a cup of tea.
