Went to Marrakech at the very end of August for a quick weekend with my friend Sophie. I would highly recommend it. We stayed at a beautiful riad with lovely staff called Laksiba, which was really reasonably priced, and got Ryanair flights pretty cheap so it was quite a budget wee holiday! We mostly just shopped in the souks, my main haul was a beautiful brown leather doctor's bag for about £18!
The photo of us in bathrobes was taken after getting a hammam. It was incredible, for maybe £20 or so, we got a body scrub and full body massage. I don't think I've ever been cleaner or felt better, and after a hot afternoon shopping it was incredible to escape the chaos and be pampered for a bit. I couldn't tell you the place we went, but there's lots of different places that offer the same thing.
Also pictured is my first EVER maxi item! I bought it specifically for the holiday, as I mentioned before it's advised to dress modestly and this was perfect. Better still, it was brand new with tags in a second hand clothing shop (Glorious in Ruthven Lane for any Glasgow readers) and only £20! It's so glam, I love it. My other outfit is a dress my mum made from Liberty fabric for her honeymoon, way back in 1981... how crazy is that?! Still looks beautiful, and I always feel really special when I wear it.
I will definitely go back, currently trying to persuade my mum and brother to organise a trip. The shopping was mindblowing and I already have a mental list of what I'll get when I return! Aside from that, it was amazing to be transported to somewhere that felt a million miles from home, after only 3 hrs 45 mins on a Ryanair flight. I'd love to explore more next time, and maybe make it onto a camel!
