I’d love to live in North Africa or the Middle East, but have to remain content with Wiltshire (UK) for the time being, while my children are still at school. Over the years I’ve travelled round Italy, France, Greece, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, but feel especially drawn to Morocco. Fez and Marrakech both catch the imagination, but Marrakech surely has the most to offer. As a family, we go to Marrakech as often as we can, but it’s never enough. And writing about Marrakech – a city simply bursting with beauty, colour, energy – is a means of returning there in my head. The photographs are a constant reminder, and words provide a prompt to relive warm memories. This is my attempt to bring this extraordinary city to a wider audience. Come and see Marrakech. It can be a challenging place for the timid, but it never disappoints. Sara Peterson
