It’s easy to see how Marrakech captured the imaginations of writers, poets, artists and designers across the centuries. Today, the turreted city’s bohemian soul remains fully intact, as does its warren of lush and lavish secret courtyards. If you’re after a chic-but-private sanctuary amid the city bustle, Marrakech is an elegant stay, with sunshine, culture and culinary delights in one trip.
So, what to pack?
What better way to match those pink-walled than really curating a pink-palleted outfit with yellow silks and red rouge patternered dresses, with Marrakech as your background, its opulent best.
A great general rule to follow is to cover your shoulders and knees when leaving the hotel. Try to pack clothing made from light natural fibres that will be breathable in the heat of the day and cool as the evenings are often a lot cooler. A good pair of sunglasses will be essential to protect your eyes during the day time. Apart from that you can still dress up and be colourful and express your personal style! Here’s my What to Pack for Marrakech….
