00:13Moroccan cuisine is famous for the amazing colors and flavors

00:17characterized by this mixture of sweet and savory.

00:20It's that unique fusion of spices.

00:22So when you're in Marrakesh, head to the Medina and get yourself to the soup.

00:26After some great food at the Medina, I'm ready to play at Asoufid Golf Club.

00:32The Asoufid Golf Club is a desert-style course lined with olive and palm trees,

00:37and it's been especially designed to minimize water consumption.

00:41Now you've got these amazing panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains.

00:45The course layout was designed by former European tour player Nile Cameron.

00:49It's 18 holes, it's a par 72, and it is a real challenge for golfers.

00:53Does that sound about right, Guy?

00:55That sounds absolutely right.

00:56Great to see you.

00:57It's a pleasure to welcome you.

00:58Thank you.

01:01As I was mentioning, there have been a lot of olive trees transplanted

01:05at the beginning of when they constructed the golf course,

01:09about 2,200 of them.

01:11That's immense.

01:12Yeah, it is.

01:14Guy, your signature 17th has got one of the best views I've ever seen.

01:18What can you tell me about it?

01:19Yes, it's a great par 3, 150 meters downhill, superb backdrop.

01:24And a canyon we've got to get the ball over.

01:26Yeah, and that can be a problem.

01:27Let's have a go.

01:32We're at the 14th, which is one of the most strategic holes of the golf course.

01:36It's a par 5, par 5, par 5.

01:39I'm going to choose the left side, and hopefully that's where it's going to go.

01:42Yeah, let's hope so. Have fun.

01:46After being inspired by all the wonderful food in Marrakesh,

01:49I'm going to learn how to cook a traditional Moroccan tagine.

01:53Hello.

01:54Hi, Amy. I'm Fatima.

01:56I'm loving the look of your spices already.

01:58Sure.

01:59Today we will cook a lamb tagine with pearls and olive oil.

02:03It's a traditional Moroccan dish.

02:05Oh, divine. What is in the 36 spices?

02:08There is two tips of the pepper.

02:11There is cardamom, and also there is canela.

02:14There is some ginger.

02:16Plus some more.

02:17Yeah.

02:18And once everything is mixed together,

02:20you pop the tagine on top of the hot coals.

02:24Oh, Fatima, finally.

02:26After two hours, we have the tagine.

02:30Bon appetit.

02:31And the tagine.

02:33Bon appetit.

02:34Thank you.

02:36Oh, it looks so good.

02:38And now it's time for my last round of golf here in Marrakesh.

02:42I am at the Almaden Golf Course,

02:45which is situated at the foot of the Atlas Mountains.

02:48Now, this 18-hole Par 73 course

02:50is probably one of the most creative of the Moroccan golf courses

02:54because it's inside an open-air sculpture park.

02:57Now, Nicola, good to see you.

02:59Hi, nice to meet you. Welcome to Almaden Golf Course.

03:02Thank you. Well, you're the person to show us around the place.

03:05I'm happy to.

03:09Almaden is one of a kind.

03:11It's designed by Kyle Phillips

03:13and combines a Scottish style with the influence of the Marrakesh Minara Gardens.

03:17Now, we're at 12, which is a Par 3,

03:19surrounded by these rectangular pools.

03:21All the water here is sustainably managed.

03:23Now, Nicola, you're going to hit it.

03:26So, they say this here is the most challenging hole, the 18th.

03:29It's a Par 5 with a dog leg to the left.

03:32Now, there's a bunker here.

03:33It's a famous bunker, the Seven Saints.

03:35I say there's nothing saintly about that.

03:37This could just destroy my school card.

03:45Well, that was challenging, and the sun is setting,

03:48but it doesn't mean the day is done.

03:50It is time for me to say goodbye.

03:52The sun is setting, but it doesn't mean the day is done.

03:55It is time to head into Marrakesh

03:57and see what this city has to offer.

04:02It wouldn't be a trip to Marrakesh

04:04without experiencing its exciting nightlife.

04:06This city has such a buzz.

04:23Wow, Marrakesh.

04:25I have been challenged by the golf courses

04:28and really embraced by the city.

04:30I cannot wait to come back.

04:34Here are the great Marrakesh courses to hit the ball at.

04:37Golf Amalcus, Palm Golf Palmaray, Golf Almaden, Golf Asufid,

04:42Montgomery, Salmoner Country Club, Noria Golf, Palm Golf Eureka,

04:47Royal Golf, Fairmont Royal Palm, the Tony Jaclyn and Atlas Golf.
