At dawn, I am woken by a mesmerising chant - it is the muezzin calling the people of Marrakech to prayer. I drag myself sleepily, get up and open the window, and the spicy aroma of saffron begins to slowly flow in. If you follow its scent, you'll end up directly in the main market, which is just around the bend.
‘Before Marrakech, everything was black. Marrakesh taught me how to use colour,’ - said Yves Saint Laurent, who, when he came here, decided to buy a villa and make this place his home. In the leaves you'll find sprigs of jasmine and cedar from the garden of your favourite designer. Tell me - doesn't this combination of scents straight from the Majorelle garden smell absolutely unique?
Countless - allegedly medieval - markets, thousands of brightly dressed people, a loud Arabic language trembling with emotion, snake charmers in Jemaa el-Fna Square, litres of green tea with mint, ancient mosques and modern art districts....
Marrakech is vibrant; there is no other place like it on earth.
