The Experience

Moroccan Cuisine

We'll be pampered at the riad by our own chefs but we’ll also enjoy a cooking class at a local institution and historical hotel, a Moroccan mint tea ceremony as well as an unforgettable dinner under the Saharan stars.

Shopping the Souks

Guiding us through the medina will be a local designer, author, hotelier and humanitarian who will give a talk on magic and symbolism, two predominant themes in Moroccan culture, before leading us on a design safari. With our guide’s expertise and relationship with the local vendors, we'll enjoy a one-of-a-kind Moroccan shopping experience in the souks.

Jardin Majorelle

We’ll visit this vibrant oasis in the heart of Marrakech, Jardin Majorelle—lovingly restored by Yves Saint Laurent—a stunning fusion of botanical beauty, Art Deco architecture, and bold cobalt blue that continues to enchant visitors from around the world.

Marrakech

The city of Marrakech is unmistakably magical. Intoxicating souks, mysterious doorways, lush, tranquil courtyards, the call of the muezzine echoing over the main square where fortune-tellers, monkeys and snake charmers await passing tourists... Marrakech is as alluring as it comes. A curious place where old world meets new and ancient is mixed with modern, where to wander its streets feels as though you're witnessing a strange historical glitch, one in which the world both stayed the same and also changed with the times.

Luxury Riad

We will stay in a traditional Moroccan riad, located in the beating heart of Marrakech's timeless medina. Just a few minute's walk from the hustle and bustle, the riad is tucked away down a quiet, safe street. Fully staffed and for our exclusive use, we'll enjoy the use of the plunge pool, jacuzzi, several lounge areas, a living room with a fire place, a fully stocked bar and a hammam. Beautifully decorated, plush rooms (complete with WiFi) face the bright, picturesque courtyard. The rooftop terrace boasts sublime views of the Atlas mountains in the distance and is the perfect place to be entranced by the muezzine's daily calls to prayer.

Agafay Desert Dinner

One afternoon we’ll venture thirty minutes outside the city into the vast Agafay Desert where we’ll enjoy the sunset over drinks before an unforgettable dinner under the stars.

Moroccan Design

Rooted in centuries of Berber, Arab, and Andalusian influence, Moroccan design blends geometric tile-work, hand-carved wood, and luxe textiles to create spaces that feel both exotic and grounded. From the rhythmic symmetry of zellige mosaics to the warm glow of pierced lanterns, every detail tells a story—inviting the eye to wander and the soul to settle. Together, along with a local design expert , we will explore the intriguing symbols and learn about the coded patterns found in Moroccan decor.
