Though the ancient city of Marrakech has gained its nickname as the ‘red city’ because of the intense shade of red that is used to colour many of the residences here, don’t think that the city can be easily defined by this one colour. As you wander the winding streets of Marrakech sights such as these hand painted flower heads are commonplace. Locals collect the flowers and decorate them in striking shades of colour. After they are placed in bottles to bring life to the homes, stalls and shops. Overload your senses with the sights, smells and sounds of Marrakech whilst enjoying all the personal characteristics that a hotel Riad can offer you.
