From its ubiquitous intricate zellige tilework, to the intense scents of various spices sold at the souks, to the piquant flavours of local tagines, Marrakech is said to be a city that awakens the senses. Located just west of the Atlas Mountains, the former imperial city overflows with culture and has been inhabited by Berber farmers for centuries. Often dubbed the 'Ochre City' because of the ever-presence of red sandstone buildings and the red city walls, Marrakech has long attracted a slew of international icons, while cultural draws like the Marrakech International Film Festival and Yves Saint Laurent’s museum have kept visitors coming back for decades. Published by Assouline, 'Marrakech Flair' explore the city's charms in detail across 304 pages and with over 200 illustrations, with La Mamounia hotel, one of the busiest squares in Africa, Jemaa el-Fnaa, and El Fenn — a collection of traditional riads that form a stunning boutique hotel — all making an appearance.
