Morocco

Marrakech

Behind anonymous medina doors hide riads built for seclusion: fountain courtyards, rose petals, rooftop breakfasts to the sound of swifts.

Why go

At dusk, Jemaa el-Fnaa square transforms from souk approach to open-air circus: rows of numbered food stalls fire up under lantern smoke, ringed by storytellers, musicians and snail-broth sellers. Take the aerial view first from a rooftop café terrace with a mint tea, then descend into it. Choose stalls where Moroccan families are eating, agree prices before anything lands on the table, and ignore anyone steering you 'to their cousin's'.
