Moroccan Beach Holiday - Summer 2014 - Luxury Beach Camp - Yoga and Surf

-

 The Moroccan Coast is one of the world's best kept secrets.  Glorious clean deserted beaches only 3 hours from europe.  In the summer perfect temperatures and guaranteed sun, it reminds me of the south of France when I was younger.  We used to all drive down to French beaches with our boat and our tent.  These beaches are like this, a bit hippy, real beaches totally unspoilt as yet.  You can eat fresh fish, crab and lobster bbqued on the beach.  Watch camels groove on by and for the experienced hire a horse for a gallop down the beach through the waves.

The beaches stretch for miles.  It's an oportunity to take a beach holiday away from super tourism.  Essaouira is a stunning little quaint Medina to visit or just get away from it all and visit Siki Kaoulki for some lounging and surf lessons.  This wonderful coast is only 2.5 hours from Marrakech and so can be combined with a historical visit to the Medina and Spa treatments at Zamzam Riad.




We have chosen a pretty hidden spot with our own private beaches for Camp Adounia - full with lovely team of staff to look after you and go with you on miles of beach walks or just help collect shells with the children.  Jawad is a star at footy on the beach or you can enjoy a sunset camel walk or one to one lesson with our super surf instructor who turns up on his quad with full equipment.

After a wonderful beach day of activity and exploration have a wash in your eco bathroom with our exclusive AEOS products before joining us for dinner and finally around the camp fire to view the stars and enjoy the culinary delights of our chef Momo.

L'Abyssin - well healed Marrakech

-

L'Abyssin , a favourite restaurant of mine in Marrakech . The food is good, the vodka martinis (which i taught them) great, the ambiance relaxed but beautiful. It is a great place to go with friends especially with the girlie's if you want to kick back and catch up. In the summer the roof comes off the tent so that you are open to the stars and in winter the place is fully covered and cosy with heaters. L'Abyssin is part of the famous Palais Rhoul . There is enough space to ensure privacy and L'Abyssin is suitable chic so you can get glammed up for the night. This restaurant is a bit of treat! As you enter there is an outside contemporary bar mainly used in the summer, but roaring fire pits and candles lead the way to the bar and restaurant. You can find Palais Rhoul and L'Abyssin at Route de Fez, Km 6, Dar Tounsi , Le Palmeraie de Marrakech tel: 00212 (0)24329494 - email: info@palais-rhoul.com Enjoy!

Cooking a Tagine - Berber style

-
Image
Above is Amina making a tagine in her house. I just happened to pop round at the best moment. A tagine is the name given to the earth pot with the pointy lids the stews are made in. In the top of the lid is a round hole. Not many people know this, but the round hole at the top of the lid is for you to put cold water in to keep the vapours of the stew returning to the stew. Many people however just stick their spoon in the hole. The t agine above is a Berber Tagine . Now a big secret that i have found from many tagines being burnt on the bottom is this; if you are using your tagine dish on the hob you need to place a metal plate under it to act as a conductor. These tagines are traditionally made on a little charcoal fire. How to make a Berber Tagine - olive oil, onion, garlic, ginger, cumin, salt and pepper. Fry these ingredients for a little bit then add the meat and brown. This one was chunks of beef. After add water and leave meat to cook until tender. You may

Gnawa or Knawa - Great Music Masters in Morocco

-

Gnawa or Ganoua is the superb music that came up from Africa.  The musicians use metal castanets with the music (this is to remind them of the slaves chains) the trance like music is played with a Gamberi guitar.  This guitar is self taught there is no music for it and it only has 3 strings.  You could say each individual 'Melem' plays music of his soul.  Each year there is a fantastic Gnawa Festival in Essaouira, really worth going to. Not many people know but this music has come from the centre of Nigeria a city called Kano.  It's origins are Hawsa language and Kano is the Hawsa Centre of Nigeria.  Originally the music was called Knawa. The Gamberi is a deep guitar and listening to masters is incredible.  No wonder Jimmy Hendrix loved Essaouira.  If you get a chance go to see a full Gnawa performance with the traditional acrobats it is really worth it. The 4 Seasons Hotel in Marrakech has a good player but it is more background music than the real thing.  You can as
