The new dirty weekends
The new dirty weekends
By Amanda Morrison
Long gone are the days of seedy seaside hotels with creaking beds. Now budget airlines have made weekends away a much more glamorous affair. Here are our top six sexy cities...
Hot and spicy
MARRAKECH
Why? Bustling and exotic, this Moroccan city has a far-flung feel, but is just four hours away.
Romance? Witness the fantastic street theatre in the Djema el Fnaa, with its snake charmers, fortune tellers and food stalls.
Where? With only four rooms, Riad 72 is intimate, chic and good value. Mr & Mrs Smith offers doubles from around £85 per night, B&B, including afternoon tea. Call 0845 034 0700 or visit www.mrandmrssmith.com. EasyJet flies to Marrakech from £33 each way (www.easyjet.com).
