Home to mosques, palaces and gardens is Marrakesh, known as the Pink City in western Morocco, because its city walls and all buildings are ramparts of beaten pink clay, built by the North African Empire’s conquerors in the 12th Century. Before COVID-19, we toured Palais El Roucar, a 300-year-old riad within the centuries-old, kilometres long pink walls enclosing Marrakesh’s medina. Such a lovely magical night in this Moroccan desert,” added Mrs Alabastro. It speaks of culture distinguished by 300 years of history akin to its previous owners and their country, Morocco. Palais El Roucar has six bedrooms: the yellow room, red room, orange room, purple room, blue room and the suite or master’s bedroom.
