Marrakech: A city of Hidden Jewels
If you expect me to begin by spouting some amazing travel guide-like description of Marrakech (or Marrakesh as some people spell it) with lots of superlatives, you'll be mistaken. To be quite frank with you, when I got in a taxi from the airport to the Riad Sindibad where I was staying, the fir...
