The train journey from Tangier to Marrakech is one of the best I've been on. You can't purchase tickets outside Morocco, but we had no problem buying them on the day. The trains are comfortable and spacious and very cheap (the 10 hour trip cost about £20, imagine that in the UK!?)
We met some interesting characters on the train, who were eager to talk to us and help us when it came to switching trains. Perhaps the best thing though is that you get to see the countryside and small towns along the way that you would normally be flying over! Well worth the slight more effort involved!
If fighting your way through the car crazy streets, being shouted at, pulled and pushed in every direction at the night market and then getting completely lost in in the heady, noisy souks of the medina leaves you overwhelmed and a little stressed, then this holistic sanctuary, slap bang in the middle of the throng will be an absolute life saver. The old town of Marrakesh is not only exciting and inspirational, it is also frenetic and exhausting, so visit the Mille et Une Nights for some well needed R&R - whether you go for a heavenly Argan oil massage or sumptuous seaweed wrap you'll leave feeling carefree and revitalised. For the braver souls who desire a more 'intense' experience than the traditional hammam is the only way to relax. Get steamed, scrubbed, drenched, scraped and steamed again - yes its an experience for sure, but you'll come out feeling newborn, with baby soft skin. What's more with their incredibly reasonable rates and the traditional decor and sensuous atmosphere, you'll be as fresh and vibrant as a Moroccan mint tea in minutes - definitely not one to miss.
In the Medina, just off the main square - Place Jemaa El Fna along Derb Dabachi N°58. Visit www.spa-hammam1001nuits.com
I was there with a friend in April and we had the best holidays ever. The place is really fantastic, the location, the food, the service over the top. An unique place where we will be back soon.

Dar Najat is the coolest riad in Marrakech!
This is not just a place to stay. I was treated like a princess. It felt like being in a friend's house. I need to return soon. I miss my chair on the terrace. I miss my breakfast late in the morning under the warm sun of Marrakech. I miss the wonderful music. I miss them all!
