Elegant Tales, Exotic Marrakech

Avril Graham's trip to Morocco's capital city of Marrakech, in North Africa, is nothing short of spectacular--featuring the colors, sounds, couture, perfume, open air markets and the sweeping desert. As a guest at the renowned La Mamounia hotel, among the world's most prestigious 5-star hotels, she experiences firsthand its elegant gardens, breathtaking architecture and sumptuous cuisine and drink. In Marrakech, Avril visits the Souk, one of the largest open-air markets in the world to discover its wide spectrum of offerings and terrific characters, including the top pop singer in Morocco. She also spends time with the country's most prominent fashion designers, rug manufacturers and even witnesses the creation of a perfume designed for Platinum Eye by Yves Saint Laurent's top perfumer.
