Book Marrakech Flair published by Assouline, the ideal book to transport you through this sublime city in North Africa, a melting pot of oriental culture.
It is said of Marrakech that it is a city that awakens all the senses. Whether it is for its zellige tiles, its various spices sold in the souks, the call to prayer emanating from the mosques, the soft leather used to make a pair of babouches or its tasty dishes such as the famous tajine; Marrakech never fails to excite. Located just west of the Atlas Mountains, the city has been inhabited by Berber farmers for centuries. It has been dubbed the "ochre city" because of the proliferation of red sandstone buildings and red city walls that now surround the medina, home to Jemaa el-Fnaa, one of the busiest squares in Africa.
Marrakech is full of culture and has inspired visitors for decades. From Yves Saint Laurent to Talitha Getty, from Winston Churchill to Mick Jagger, Marrakech has attracted great icons inspired by its timeless spirit as well as its sweet and beautiful life. Yves Saint Laurent's intimate relationship with the city led to the opening of a museum dedicated to his legendary work. The annual Marrakech International Film Festival attracts a large crowd. Museums abound, exhibiting Moroccan art, photography, carpets and the Andalusian design aesthetic that permeates the city's architecture. La Mamounia Hotel, opened in 1923, offers a rich history, which includes hosting guests such as Winston Churchill. Vanessa Branson's El Fenn is a collection of traditional riads that form a beautiful boutique hotel. There are countless ways to immerse yourself in the culture of Marrakech, but perhaps the best place to start is with a simple glass of mint tea.
