Only three hours from London, and served by an increasing number of airlines, Marrakech is becoming newly fashionable as a long-weekend break for fine dining, specialist shopping and exquisite 'hip hotel' accommodation. The rapid growth of stylish new venues (and the international A-list celebs they attract) has made the city a staple of travel features in the style press, and Time Out is the first guidebook to go beyond the backpack and reflect the new developments that have turned Marrakech into one of the most chic cities in the world. Time Out Marrakech also includes coverage of the hotspots within easy reach of Marrakech, from escapes into the Atlas Mountains to boho beach chilling in Essaouira.

Fez: City of Islam - Titus Burckhardt, William Stoddart (Translator)
Fez, City of Islam is undoubtedly one of Titus Burckhardt's masterpieces. It conveys a profound understanding of the sacred roots that nourish Islamic culture and civilisation. As a young man in the 1930s, Burckhardt spent some years in Morocco where he became acquainted with several remarkable representatives of the spiritual heritage of the Maghrib. Although he committed much of this experience to writing, it was not until the 1950s that these writings were developed into a book. In Fez, City of Islam, Burckhardt writes of the history of a people and their religion - a history that was often violent, often heroic and sometimes holy. The book relates the teachings, parables and miracles of the saints of many centuries and demonstrates not only the arts and crafts of Islamic civilisation, but also its sciences and administrative skills. Burckhardt's unique black and white photographs from the 1930s are included. In addition 41 new colour illustrations have been specially selected to enhance Burckhardt's originals. Here, text and illustrations come together to provide an insight into the way the life of a people can be transformed at every level by a religious tradition.
Hardcover 180 pages (December 31, 1992); Publisher: The Islamic Texts Society; Language: English; ISBN: 0946621179
