Marrakech doesn't ease you in. It takes hold the moment you pass through the medina gates — cumin, rose water, the call to prayer off 900-year-old walls.

The souks still function like they did in the 11th century. The Djemaa el-Fna square reinvents itself every few hours. The tanneries are still worked by hand.

Best time: March–May. Best accommodation: a riad. Best single thing to do: a traditional hammam.

Marrakech Travel Guide: Spice, Labyrinth & the City That Never Quite Lets Go

Marrakech does not ease you in. The moment you step through the gates of the medina, it takes hold — the scent of cumin and rose water, the chaos of the souks, the call to prayer ricocheting off centuries-old walls. It is disorienting, bewitching, and utterly unlike anywhere in Europe or the wider world. Come ready to surrender your sense of direction.

The #BattleOfBadr, on #ThisDayInHistory in 624, was the first major fight between #Muhammad's new Muslim community of #Medina and the #Quraysh forces of #Makkah/#Mecca. Badly outnumbered, the #Quran attributes Muslim success to a thousand angels, there to boost Muslim confidence.

Today's photograph with the most hits: me, in the medina, Tunis.

That lovely red pullover would (subsequently) be left, in a suitcase, on the Paris Metro. I miss it still.
