Wow, what a trip to the desert we have experienced! We travelled from Zagora straight into the Sahara, not far from the border with Algeria.

Sometimes a few acacia trees, a bunch of dromedaries on a hike or a few French tourists on a motorbike or on foot.

Yves Saint Laurant came to Marrakech in 1966 and fell in love with the colours and mystique. He bought a piece of derelict land and built a stunning Arabic-style park with water, small bridges, green plants and cacti. He himself lived here, and since his death in 2008 there is a memorial grove for him here. We visited the park and museum yesterday.
