The 11 best bars in Marrakech
Marrakech may not have a huge nightlife scene, but in recent years there's been a (small) flurry of trendy bar openings in the Medina and Gueliz. Highlights include an industrial-chic wine bar, a buzzing roof terrace with views over the medina, and a couple of slick spots for sophisticated cocktails.

How to spend a colourful weekend in Marrakech
Founded almost a thousand years ago, Marrakech has always been one of the great cities of the Maghreb. Somehow this bursting-at-the-seams medina exists on the edge of the Sahara Desert, its pink pise (rammed earth) palaces framed by the snow-capped High Atlas.

The 16 best things to see and do in Marrakech
You haven't really been to Marrakech until you've got lost in the souqs, spent the night amid the storytellers of the Djemaa el-Fna and sipped mint tea while debating the merits of the Berber rug that you're contemplating purchasing. But tear yourself away from the souqs and the shopping and you'll also find some fascinating historical sites such as the long-hidden tombs of the Saadian sultans, Yves St Laurent's artful Jardin Majorelle and the decorative jewel that is the Ali Ben Youssef Medersa

The best family hotels in Mauritius
Mauritius is heaven for active families. This pocket-sized tropical paradise offers an incredible amount to do, from island-hopping and hikes in forested nature reserves to whale watching, electric-bike rides in the highlands and wildlife safaris in eco-parks. Overnight flights, and short travel distances, mean children can be snorkelling from a sun-soaked beach by mid-morning. Some island hotels have fabulous facilities for families, from family rooms to multi-bedroom pool villas, and perks of
