Marrakesh, Morocco

Marrakesh is the most magical of the Morocco's imperial cities. The wonderful Majorelle Gardens and its spendid Moorish villa was designed by the French artist Jacques Majorelle with patterns of zellij tilework and decorated in tones of deep blue, green and dark red. The house was later bought by Yves Saint-Laurent, the famous couturier. The garden has walkways and parterres of brightly colored tropical flowers.
