Our in-depth guides on Marrakech
Some subjects do not fit on a single sheet: bringing back a rug without getting caught out, picking a hammam that earns its price, walking the Atlas with children. We dug into them, saying what is over-hyped and what keeps its promises - and, once you have picked, where to book.
