Morocco 2011 – Setting off for Marrakech

Successful journey down to Marrakech although Royal Maroc Air has the least leg room of any airline I have travelled with and the most bland vegetarian food imaginable.
The Hotel Riad Moulay Said, right in the heart of the city is very comfortable and a real Tardis. The entrance doorway from the souk led into a really traditional Moroccan hotel with ornate tiling and plaster work. The spacious rooms, on two levels, surround a swimming pool and lounging area under an open atrium, while more rooms surrounded an open garden area. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was unfortunate that we did not have long enough to enjoy it properly, not arriving until 11.00pm and leaving the following morning at 8.00am.
