Khadija and Hussein welcomed our group of 6 (3 cooks, 3 diners) into their tidy, well organised home and walked us through preparing a wonderful 3 course meal that included a warm salad, tajine, bread, briouat and fruit. They were warm and friendly and shared their deep knowledge of Moroccan cuisine and culture. One of the highlights of our trip and an unreserved recommendation.

When Art meets well being

Reviewed By Kirstyabroad

I enjoyed various treatments like Full Body Massage, Head Massage Facial and Hamman at Azur Art & Spa.. Every treatment was exceptional good and made me feel flying after the massage. Lovely designed treatments rooms with great beds and cozy atmosphere. The facial with a deep cleaning was done in an absolutely professional way, I am very fuzzy re facials cause I am going only to the top places and was highly impressed by the top treatment I experienced. The design of the spa is stunning and makes you feel home as soon you enter the spa. Lovely rooftop where you can relax after your treatment on the top.

Synagogue Slat Lkahal

Reviewed By Irl2304 - Drogheda, Ireland

As I had studied the Jewish Synagoge in College, I was very interested in the synagogue in Marrakech. On the day I visited it was very quiet., it is not used as a place of worship but is maintained by people. It is a small building but completes with everything.A friend who was with me loved the ambiance of the place. The synagogue is in the centre of the Jewish quarter, where Jewish people lived and worked. Both are worth a visit as the Jewish people are part of the history of Marrakech
