Toiletries imported from Paris, bottled water from Norway, and coat hangers from Marseilles - the vital ingredients of the latest luxury Marrakesh riad, which is due to open next week. Maison MK has six suites with curvy walls and is right in the middle of the medina, a two-minute stroll from the fire eaters and snake charmers in the main square.

By day, the roof terrace with its stirring views of the Atlas mountains should be a great place to sunbathe. At night it will turn into a bar and restaurant where guests can dine under swathes of orange parachute silk and snuggle around a big copper fire pit. Original Travel's Big Short Break to Morocco starts at £485pp staying three nights at Maison MK and includes breakfast, flights and transfers.
